Updated
This update has been re-released to address a number of minor bugs introduced in the initial release - see [TEDDS-4820]2, [TEDDS-4835]3
Important
If you are running a 64-bit version of Windows you will require both updates.
Tedds Application
The Duplicate document command which is one of the most frequently used commands in the Tedds Application has been enhanced to improve productivity. When the Duplicate command on the Home tab is now used on a document which belongs to the current project the new document will be automatically added to the project.
Visual Quality
When using a 4K display the 4x increase in pixels over a standard HD (1080p) display can provide a significant improvement in the visual quality for text, images and drawings in both the Tedds user interface and the documented output. This service pack includes more enhancements and fixes which ensure that Tedds is optimised for high resolution displays and some of those improvements will also be of benefit if your Windows Text Size setting is greater than 100%.
Other Updates
General
[TEDDS-4749]1 - Fixed calculation user interface button images for “Collapse” and “Expand” which were transposed.
