CRANEbee - WHAT'S NEW

Highlights

AutoCAD 2026

· Full interface integration for the upcoming AutoCAD 2026. Release expected at the end of March 2025. Our official support for AutoCAD has changed to versions 2018-2026. Older versions may still work but are no longer supported by us.

Tadano crawler cranes: Interpolation

· Freely interpolate between superlift ballast positions (Vario or Tele-SL only).

· Freely interpolate between superlift ballast on all PLMIN cranes.

· Freely interpolate between main boom angles even on combinations with a fixed main boom.

· You are now able to combine all of the above as well as the Overload functionality.

· All of this will be shown in the crane control window as well as the printout.

Improvements

Automatic Saving

· Automatically saving large projects in a remote folder was troublesome with a slow internet connections. This works now.

Lifted SL Counterweight (PLMIN)

· When the superlift counterweight is put to 0, we now hide the PLMIN graphic as well as the tray/wagon in the job site.

Bugfixes

Rigging the crane

· Fixed positioning of the second jib in rigging mode.

· Fixed a bug where changing the length of a lattice jib in rigging mode would update to working mode but not vice versa. (Expected behaviour: Working mode changes all working steps and rigging mode. Rigging mode is not allowed to change this.)

· Fixed issues with free telescoping.

· Fixed issues with not being able to select jibs.

· Fixed a bug where changing the boom sequence changed it in working mode as well.

Miscellaneous

· JMG cranes now work as intended.

· Fixed a visual bug where rotating the superstructure of an MLC crane would get the VPC-MAX out of line.

· Fixed a problem where obstacle search would return no matching entries, even though they existed.

· Fixed a problem where config files would get emptied and CRANEbee couldn't start because of that.

· Fixed some stuff in the printout.
