New software release 2026H2

Posted on 13 November, 2026

Cadmatic 2026H2 was released on 13 November 2026, bringing a fresh wave of improvements designed to make your everyday work easier.

Top Picks – what we are most excited about in 2026H2!

Outfitting / 3D Plant Design

Lock design work once it’s approved: Lock approved groups, model objects, main documents and drawings so they stay as released. Administrators decide who can lock work and who can remove locks.
Pipe spools in a clear tree structure: Creating and managing pipe spools is now easier in a tree view beside the model, where you can add spools to main documents.

P&ID

Context-based object actions: The commands you use most are now one click away in context menus, so diagram work goes faster. You can easily pan, rotate and zoom, and edit an object’s data in the property pane as soon as you select it. You no longer need to press Escape to get back to the Windows cursor.
Duct diagrams for shipbuilding: Plan ventilation and air-conditioning systems at principle level in P&ID, with key equipment, zones, airflow paths and control elements, before moving into detailed 3D duct design.

Hull

New DSTV Profile Export: Generate robot cutting files faster, straight from the Hull model. Each file includes the profile contour, cutouts, holes, marking lines and bending lines, with no manual mapping. You set it up once in about 30 minutes and reuse it across projects.
See check-out and check-in operations at a glance: A new Operations table in the Check Out/In dialog shows what every user is running, its status and who started it. The dialog refreshes itself, so you always see current information.
One sketch for a set of similar profiles: Profile sketches can now show several similar profiles together, with the differences listed in a comparison table. The same production information fits on fewer drawings, and the workshop gets clearer documentation to work from.

Electrical

AI assistant creates custom reports and checks: Describe the information you need in plain language, and Cadmatic AI builds the SQL query for your custom report, so you don’t need to know the database structure.
Document requests and tag order from Cadmatic Wave: Handle Wave document requests directly in Electrical. Requests arrive with the document data filled in, and you publish the finished document back to Wave as the reply. You can also order tags for devices, cables and circuits from Wave.
Large projects open faster than ever: Open projects and work with the database functions with noticeably faster software. In tests, the database tool opened more than twice as fast as before. Electrical also uses less memory in resource-intensive operations.

Draw

Sharper lines and clearer text on screen: Lines are now smoothed and text renders more clearly, and selected objects stand out from the rest of the drawing, so drawings are easier to read on screen.
Excel tables as native table objects: Bring quantity lists, part lists and revision tables from Excel into Draw as real CAD tables. The information stays structured in the drawing and works in DWG-based workflows.

eShare / eBrowser

AI for faster information access and 3D exploration: Ask questions in a chat and Cadmatic AI in eShare finds objects, documents, Smart Points and markups for you. It can also pull object data from connected sources and show or hide model parts.
A better way to work with technical documents: Compare revisions in the redesigned Documents Viewer, with new, removed and modified content highlighted so you can spot changes at a glance. Search results appear directly in the drawing, and a table of contents helps you move through long documents.
Compare as-built scans with your model in the browser: Show or hide point clouds alongside the 3D model in browser-based eShare, with no scan files to download or separate application to open. Improved rendering in eBrowser and eShare App shows more detail when you look up close.

Materials

Extend material management beyond piping: The new Multidisciplinary MTO module brings structured material management to more disciplines, including electrical, steel structure and HVAC.
Create and manage catalog components more efficiently: Build project catalogs faster with guided creation or a new wizard that generates several components at once. A general catalog keeps component identification consistent across projects, and new views by discipline and object type make it easier to compare attributes.

Engineering

Stay on top of project activity: The new Activity Log shows in one place who created, saved, published or revised documents, and who changed items. You can choose a time period, and open documents or revisions straight from the log.
See your project status at a glance: The new Project Statistics report brings figures on project data, items, documents and project organization together. You can also run it across several projects for a broader picture.
