Inspectra BIM 0.10.0 \u2014 annotative drawings, DXF layer mapping and representation setups<\/h1>

Inspectra BIM 0.10.0 is out. This release is all about drawing production: annotations that finally behave the way CAD users expect, DXF exports that follow your office layer standard, and representation control you can save, reuse and share with your team. Here is what changed since 0.9.2.<\/p>

Annotations are now fully annotative (Edit)<\/h2>

Every annotation \u2014 free text, labels and dimensions \u2014 is now sized in\u00a0millimetres of paper times the drawing scale<\/strong>, exactly like annotative text in CAD. A 2.5 mm style on a 1:100 section means 0.25 m in the model, on screen, on the layout and in the exported DXF. No more pixel-glued captions drifting against the geometry as you zoom.<\/p>

Each drawing carries its own\u00a0Annotation Scale<\/strong>: you pick it right in the section dialog when creating the view, and you can change it later from Manage Drawings, the right-click menu or the properties panel \u2014 the open drawing updates immediately.<\/p>

New tool:\u00a0Annotation Area<\/strong>. Draw a rectangle over a part of the drawing and give it its own scale \u2014 every annotation anchored inside adopts that scale automatically. Perfect for detail regions that will be printed at a different scale than the rest of the sheet. When you place a drawing on a layout, the scale prompt now suggests the scales actually used by that drawing first.<\/p>

A proper text editor (Edit)<\/h2>

Placing or double-clicking a text opens a new\u00a0CAD-style Text Editor<\/strong>: pick a text style, then override anything locally \u2014 font, height in millimetres, bold\/italic\/underline, colour, rotation, and line justification for multi-line text. A symbols menu inserts \u00d8, \u00b0, \u00b1 and friends, and the edit box previews the final look live.<\/p>

Annotation styles got a real hierarchy to match: shared\u00a0Text Styles<\/strong>\u00a0are now referenced by Label styles and Dimension styles instead of each defining its own font \u2014 one place to change typography for the whole standard.<\/p>

Representation rules, rebuilt (Edit)<\/h2>

Representation Rules now give you full control from a single rule. Each rule expands into a panel where the\u00a0Cut, Visible and Hidden<\/strong>\u00a0line bands get their own colour, width, line type and visibility \u2014 or tick “one style for all line bands” for the classic behaviour. A separate switch turns the\u00a0cut fill (hatch)<\/strong>\u00a0off while keeping the outline. Per band, the top rule that actually sets it wins, and untouched bands fall through to the rules below \u2014 so one filter can silence the hidden lines and paint the visible ones yellow at the same time.<\/p>

On top of that come\u00a0Representation Setups<\/strong>: save the current rules as a named setup stored\u00a0in the scene file<\/strong>, then load it onto any other drawing of that scene in two clicks. Setups export to a JSON file \u2014 one or several at once \u2014 so an office can keep a single representation standard and pass it between users and projects.<\/p>

Representation Rules and DXF References also moved out of the Setup drop-down and are now standalone tiles on the Drawings tab \u2014 the tools you touch most are one click away.<\/p>

DXF export that follows your office standard (Edit)<\/h2>

The DXF exporter learned three big things:<\/p>
