Delphi Diagramming 2018 R1.0 release notes

Delphi Diagramming makes it easy to design professional room plans to help your customer truly visualize their event. Bring your tablet to onsite visits to create highly detailed and accurate room plans—and watch your customer's vision come to life in 3D.

New features and enhancements

The 2018 R1.0 features are automatically enabled and ready for you to use.

Event attendance and room setups (CR0122346, CR0130346, CR0130453)

Prior to 2018 R1.0, Delphi Diagramming used a room's maximum capacity to create room plans, which often meant you had to modify each room plan to reflect the number of people actually attending the event. Now Delphi Diagramming does that work for you.

Simply enter the event attendance, and Delphi Diagramming uses that value to set the appropriate number of seats. This makes it easy to personalize your function space for potential customers and provide your operations team with details they need to successfully execute the event. This feature is available in both Property and Website editions, as well as in Delphi integrations.

If Delphi Diagramming is integrated with Delphi at your property, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Enhanced Exhibit seating style

The Exhibit seating style has been enhanced in both Website and Property editions to make it easier for you to detail those room plans. Here are the new updates you’ll find in 2018 R1.0:

Before you can take advantage of these features, your Delphi Diagramming administrator needs to enable exhibit booths for the appropriate function rooms in the new Layout Editor. This makes the Exhibit setup style available for those rooms in Automatic Layout mode. Your administrator can also use the Layout Editor to set defaults, such as booth size, booth direction, and aisle size—ensuring that exhibit booths are drawn to the correct size and scale when they’re added to a room plan.

You must be assigned the Layout Editor permission to be able to access this window—this includes the Delphi Diagramming administrator.

Retain original front aisle (CR0129891)

A new Retain Original Front Aisle Width option maintains the original front aisle width regardless of any stage-related objects (Stage, Dance Floor, Podium, Head Table, and/or Screen) that are placed in the room plan. All seating style objects that overlap the staging objects are removed.

Keyboard shortcut update (CR0130455)

Keyboard shortcuts for grouping and ungrouping selected objects have been updated to SHIFT+G and SHIFT+H, respectively.

To... You used to do this... Now do this...
Group Selected Objects CTRL+G SHIFT+G
Ungroup Selected Objects CTRL+H SHIFT+H
