Virto.CAD 2.2.4 Release Notes: Schletter FixGrid Pro Integration, BricsCAD 2027 Support & More
Virto.CAD 2.2.4 introduces a new Schletter FixGrid Pro integration, support for BricsCAD 2027, and several improvements to mounting system configuration, cable routing, and electrical design.
This release brings new engineering capabilities and workflow refinements to help solar professionals work more efficiently and maintain a greater control over their PV designs.
Here’s what’s new in version 2.2.4.
New Features
Schletter FixGrid Pro Integration
The integration supports FixGrid Pro South and FixGrid Pro 100 East/West, allowing users to configure mounting system layouts and access Schletter’s engineernig calculations within their CAD workflow.
Key capabilities include:
- Configure Schletter mounting system layouts directly in Virto.CAD.
- Request ballast and structural strength calculations.
- Visualize ballast placement directly in the CAD drawing.
- Generate detailed Bill of Materials.
- Export engineering results as PDF reports.
This integration brings manufacturer-specific mounting system calculations and documentation directly into the Virto.CAD design environment.
BricsCAD 2027 Support
Virto.CAD now supports BricsCAD 2027, allowing users to continue working with the latest version of the CAD platform.
Improvements
Avasco Solar: Expanded Mounting System Country Support
Avasco Solar mounting systems now support additional countries. Italian terrain roughness classification has also been adjusted to improve accuracy of Avasco calculations.
Van der Valk Solar Systems - Presets and Roof Edge Handling
This release introduces new Van der Valk mounting system presets, along with updated handling of roof-edge keep-out zones. These updates provide more flexibility when configuring mounting systems and defining restricted areas in rooftop PV designs.
Improved Cable Routing
Manual cable routing has been refined to improve the handling of keep-out zones. Prevously, keep-out zone checks could interfere with valid cable routing paths. These checks now focus on cable routes that actually cross restricted zones, reducing unnecessary interference.
Temporary availability note: Manual cable allocation is currently available through the Virto_RouteCablesManualAllocation command only.
Separate DC and AC Cable Layers
DC and AC cables are now organized on separate drawing layers, making electrical layouts clearer and easier to navigate.
Improved Insert Devices Palette
The Insert Devices palette now refreshes more consistently when device information changes, providing a more reliable workflow when managing electrical components.
Clearer Error Feedback
Additional error tooltips provide more context when issues occur, helping users understand an address problems directly within the interface.
Recommended Platform Versions
For optimal performance we recommend using Virto.CAD with
- AutoCAD 2026
- BricsCAD 2026
