One focus of the further development was the improvement of user-friendliness. Examples are the new Autopilot settings, zooming in docking windows, the new Feature window in the ICN, the selection of hatching patterns for special views and much more. But of course, numerous new functions and enhancements have also been incorporated into this version. For example, not only beams and profiles but also any 3-D solids can now be divided along a specified direction, and the division can be changed at any time later via the feature log. Further highlights are the Besista cross-bracing with cross anchor, the Besista pressure pipe connection, the creation of straight sections during dynamic route changes of pipelines and the new function for inserting bend zones. The definition of North American standards and the extensive standard part extensions, e.g. ALUCOBOND® semi-finished products and connecting elements for the American market as well as special profiles and purchased parts from Systea and BWM, are also worthy of mention. ## Highlights [Click here for all the highlights from HiCAD 2020 Service pack 2](https://www.isdgroup.com/en/news-events/news-detail/hicad-2020-sp2-en/) - - - - - [mailto:?subject=HiCAD%202020%20SP2&body=https://blog.isdgroup.com/en/hicad-2020-sp2](mailto:?subject=HiCAD%202020%20SP2&body=https://blog.isdgroup.com/en/hicad-2020-sp2) ![Christian Everhardus, Managing Director](https://blog.isdgroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Christian%20Everhardus.jpg?width=192&height=192&name=Christian%20Everhardus.jpg) Christian Everhardus, Managing Director [![contact-us-page](https://blog.isdgroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/contact-us-page.png?width=323&height=208&name=contact-us-page.png) Contact us Questions?
