Hello,
I'm evaluating Wirecad and have a few questions:
1. I tried to import some devices from the community server, I have noticed that many entries are striked out. What does that mean?

2. When trying to import some devices from the community server I get the error (locale German):
System.Data : System.ArgumentException
Column 'BTU' kann nicht auf 'null' gesetzt werden. Verwenden Sie statt dessen DBNull.
bei System.Data.DataRow.set_Item(DataColumn column, Object value)

Wirecad lets me go ahead, but it doesn't download the device.

3. You are using the term BTU, which I guess should be BTU/h. Or is it BTU/Min or something else?

4. I tried to create a new device. There is the possibility to ad a picture in the wizard, which didn't work for me. It said something like wrong format. The picture was pasted via clipboard. Same thing when I tried to use a jpg. The same picture was taken without problems later in the detail-tab of the library.

Hi Dorian, thanks for evaluating WireCAD.
I can confirm that there is a problem in the current build with the download from the community function. We will get a fix posted shorty.

BTU/h usually. When using this field the Bill of Materials just totals all values so it can be what ever unit of measure you wish as long as it is applied uniformly across the project.

I will keep this ticket in progress because I haven't yet been able to confirm the paste image issue.

We have resolved the issue with the image load in the New Equipment Wizard.
Thanks for your help pointing this out.
