What's new in Stabicad
What's New in Stabicad 25.10
September 22, 2025
We are happy to announce that version 25.10 of Stabicad was released on the 22nd of September, 2025.
The following is a summary of the main new features included in this release and the benefits that come with it.
Highlights
- Performance enhancements: delivering more than a 30% speed increase when opening AutoCAD, and providing faster performance when modifying electrical symbol properties.
Stabicad for Revit and Stabicad for AutoCAD
- Following the ProDesign integration, some users experienced a layout issue in the Revit IFC export dialog, caused by overlapping buttons. This has been corrected, and the dialog's interface is now fully restored.
Stabicad for Revit | Electrical Installation Engineering
- Improved Performance of the “Change Symbol Properties” feature.
The performance of the Change Symbol Properties feature has been significantly optimized. Both workflows, selecting elements after launching the function (palette → select → apply) and running it on pre-selected elements, are now much faster and more responsive.
The level of improvement depends on your connection to the Stabicad database (ping). For example, with a 100 ms ping, applying changes to 1500 symbols previously took more than 30 minutes. Now, the same operation is completed in about one minute. With a local database, the gains are even better: the same task that used to take up to 50 seconds now takes just 4 seconds, representing an improvement of over 1100%.
Stabicad for AutoCAD
- An issue was fixed that caused AutoCAD to crash when opening or closing the ‘Create Custom Annotation’ feature.
The report and interactive results overview include descriptions to help identify each consumer more easily.
Stabicad for AutoCAD | Ventilation
- The representation of the ventilation saddle in AutoCAD has been updated to make designs clearer and easier to interpret. Previously, straight and shoe saddles looked identical, which could cause confusion in drawings. They are now visually distinct, allowing users to immediately see the difference.
- An issue in AutoCAD has been resolved where the ‘Hatch Ventilation Duct’ feature did not work correctly. A missing layer has been added to the UK localization, resolving the warning that previously appeared when using this feature.
Stabicad for AutoCAD | Electrical Installation Engineering
- Improved performance of the “Convert Electrical Symbols” feature.
The speed of this function has been significantly optimized, with the exact performance gain depending on your connection (ping) to the Stabicad database. With a 100 ms ping, the feature now runs up to 250% faster. When working with a local database, you can still expect a noticeable improvement of around 20%.
StabiBASE
- Improved performance of the ‘Import/Export project’ feature.
Performance improvements vary depending on your connection (ping) to the Stabicad database. With a ping of 100 ms, importing projects can be up to 200% faster, and exporting projects up to 110% faster. For users with a local database, both importing and exporting see an approximate 10% performance gain.
- Improved performance for file creation.
The performance of creating new files, including projects, .rvt files, and .dwg files has been improved. These improvements depend on your connection (ping) to the Stabicad database. With a ping of 150 ms, you can expect around a 10% performance gain. For users with a local database, no noticeable difference is expected.
- Improved performance of deleting files.
Performance gains depend on your connection (ping) to the Stabicad database. When deleting files from the project, you can expect a 50% improvement with a 100 ms ping, as well as when using a local database. When deleting files from both the project and the hard disk, performance can improve by 40% with a 100 ms ping and up to 75% with a local database.
- Improved performance of copying files.
Gains are depending on your connection (ping) to the Stabicad database and the size of the file. For a 170 MB file with a 100 ms ping, you can expect up to a 75% performance improvement, while an 850 MB file under the same conditions can see up to a 180% improvement. With a local database, no noticeable difference is expected.

Trimble MEP makes Building Information Models (BIM) a reality by delivering solutions that transform disconnected workflows between stakeholders into a coordinated, constructible and actionable building model. To ensure a building is constructed in the most efficient way, the Trimble Constructible Process goes beyond BIM by creating models that use actual manufacturer content, allow for prefabrication and full clash detection, connect stakeholders to coordinate in real-time and bring the model directly from the computer to the field. This process optimizes the entire design, build and operate lifecycle.
