Important note:
Once a drawing with electrical layout gets saved with Helios 3D 2026.0.2.0 older Helios 3D versions can’t read the file anymore!
The conversion of grid definitions into components / articles forces that change.

  • New: An additional call for the pile exports extends the pile list for GAYK-ram by the pile angle. The angle is measured from the pile entry point on the ground to the Z-axis and therefore corresponds to the side tilt angle of the tables without spaces.
  • New: It is now possible to subsequently change existing device and string numbers. This can be done by directly editing the MText, via the quick menu on the respective device, and via the context menu in the Electrical Structure Tree.
  • New: The numbering dialog for table placement can now also create/hide labels for table and row labeling that were deactivated via the drawing settings for table placement.
  • New: The numbering dialog for table placement can now also create individual post number labels.
  • New: The numbering dialog for table placement now shows any change to the configuration instantly in a preview picture.
  • New: Cross section views have been extended. There are new options for table numbers (front view only) and a content description (field name, table rows, etc.).
    Cross section Side View: Optional dimensions for row spacing (between adjacent rows).
    Cross section Length View: Optional minimum ground clearance dimension per table. The value for the minimum module-DTM distance of the table is displayed close to the center, but not at the actual min. distance location.
  • New: The Electrical Structure List export to Excel has been extended by an additional column containing the table label (e.g. field + row + table number according to the user defined numbering scheme).
  • New: The commands for registering adjustment lines or split lines have been added to the context menu for multi-select, so the same object can get registered to multiple fields at once.
  • Change: When using start point adjustment lines, the placement option “User defined increment” (for unhandled conflicts) may now only be used with “Align only row startpoint”. Other combinations are not permitted.
    A message now indicates this, and the setting is prevented or, in existing drawings, the placement is no longer carried out.
  • Change: When deleting tables from the drawing via pure AutoCAD, the layer visibilities are no longer switched.
  • Change: The Electrical settings page has been divided into 3 pages and provided with clearer headings to improve clarity and structure.
  • Change: From now on, the automatic insertion of string target devices in the manual electric process tries to use at least one input per MPPT, instead of leaving the last MPPTs fully unused.
  • Bug: For licenses expiring within the next 30 days, the corresponding notice was missing in the splash screen.
  • Bug: Renaming a drawing in the database application also change the names of other DWG files if their names started with the original name of the renamed drawing.
  • Bug: Multiple calls of the module Choicelists caused a crash in Civil3D.
  • Bug: During table placement, a problem could occur if an exclusion zone was located very close to the field boundary (<= 1 cm) within the field.
  • Bug: The selection list for modules in the requirement types did not remain open when the mouse pointer was moved out without clicking.
  • Bug: During table placement, the function could freeze if the option “User defined increment” was activated in the group “Unresolved conflicts” and there were restricted areas that partially overlapped.
  • Bug: When exporting the layout to PVsyst, the filter for surface triangles at the field boundaries caused AutoCAD errors.
  • Bug: When exporting to the Viewer, objects on frozen layers were incorrectly exported as well. The intended behavior is that only visible objects are visible in the Viewer.
  • Bug: The expert mode of the Viewer didn’t open anymore, after the dialog once got canceled.
  • Bug: The option “Tracker with modules in 0° position” for the array definition legend did not work.
  • Bug: The polyline used to calculate the net usable area did not produce meaningful results for east-west tables.

Electrical module:

  • Bug: Renaming electrical devices with the radial menu didn’t work properly in some cases.
  • Bug: The Drag & Drop for reconnecting strings to different MPPT inputs inside the manual electric module used a bad index. That lead to false error messages when restrictions for the combination of strings to the same MPPT were checked.
  • Bug: In the manual electric module the auto insertion of string target devices added more devices to a device area than allowed by the limit for that area.
  • Bug: In the manual electric module, when moving strings via drag & drop at the inputs of the same inverter, the load factor was calculated incorrectly.
  • Bug: An issue with the cable component dialog has been fixed.
  • Bug: Exporting the Electrical Structure List to Excel caused a NullReferenceException when attempting to export the grid connection.
  • Bug: The Electrical Structure List exported to Excel always listed DC combiner boxes connected to different MPPTs of the inverter under the 1st MPPT.
  • Bug: When displaying selection sets, black triangles were generated for some string configurations even though the modules are connected.
  • Bug: Opening the manual electrical module on linked selection sets occasionally caused errors. Now, a message informing about the manual electric being unavailable for linked selection sets appears.
  • Bug: When assigning string definitions to tables, invalid entries were displayed if more than one device hierarchy existed.
  • Bug: Updating item data from the database in the device hierarchy did not work correctly.
  • Bug: When deleting an inverter in the manual electrical layout, connected strings were sometimes deleted as well.
  • Bug: For very small device areas, devices were sometimes placed far outside.
  • Bug: The mandatory input fields were displayed in the wrong color when entering the transformer item.
