PlanStudio 3.1

New Features

‍

New Draft Publisher and Content Admin roles

• We've introduced two new roles to help with PlanStudio workflows in larger teams.
• The Draft Publisher role is similar to the existing Diagram Publisher role, however it is restricted to publishing draft signs with watermarks only.
• The Content Admin role allows you to administer diagram templates/content/icon libraries/etc, without providing access to user management capabilities.
• Note that roles are designed to stack. For example, you can be a Partner User and a Draft Publisher at the same time.
• The precise permissions available to each role are as follows:

PlanStudio now supports Dark Mode!

• This shipped experimentally as part of PlanStudio 3.0, and it's now being released to all users in 3.1.
• The new Dark Mode preference offers three modes:

• Automatic (Use System Theme): PlanStudio will match the appearance of other apps, based on your system's settings. This is the default mode.
• Enabled: PlanStudio will always appear in dark mode, ignoring your system settings.
• Disabled: PlanStudio will always appear in light mode, ignoring your system settings.

• When dark mode is enabled, you can turn on the new "Automatically Adjust Themes In Dark Mode" setting to make your plan appear as white lines on a dark background, enabling a 100% dark mode editing experience that may be more comfortable in low-light conditions.

• This adjustment only applies in the plan editor - when you are in the diagram preview mode all colours are left as-is.

Re-bindable hotkeys

• The Hotkeys window now allows you to re-bind hotkeys. You can open the Hotkeys window from the same gear menu that's used to access the Preferences window.

• You can re-bind hotkeys to single keys (e.g "Q") or combinations (e.g "Shift-Q").
• If you want to completely customise all hotkeys from scratch, the "Clear All Hotkeys" button allows you to clear every binding.
• The "Reset Default Hotkeys" button can be used to reset your hotkey settings to PlanStudio's defaults.
• You can even use and rebind hotkeys on the iPad version of PlanStudio, if you have an attached keyboard.

• When making frequent changes to plans, PlanStudio will now sync your changes more often.
• The character limit for short names on Alarm Zones has been increased from 2 to 3, allowing you to have up to 999 alarm zones in a single plan.
• PlanStudio is now a Universal app on macOS, with native support for Apple Silicon.
• We've updated the internal browser engine that powers PlanStudio on Windows/macOS, which provides minor performance improvements across the board.
• The help button which opens the Resource Center is now visible throughout PlanStudio.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a crash caused by trying to import/load a corrupted theme library.
• Fixed the wording of error messages that can appear when publishing so it's easier to understand what's wrong.
• Fixed the calculation of square feet when using imperial units.
• Fixed the ordering of alarm zones in legends.
• Fixed quick switching causing publishing from the sign preview mode to publish/download the incorrect diagram.
• Fixed the nav mesh brush mode causing segments to be duplicated when passing back and forth over them.
• Fixed the nav mesh tool allowing you to draw overlapping segments that could sometimes cause crashes.
