New in H2R Gear v2.10

A faster, clearer plan

Version 2.10 is a focused update aimed at the moments where plans get busy. Selecting groups of items, untangling overlapping cables, and reaching for the right shortcut should all feel quicker and clearer.

Marquee selection

You can now drag a box across the canvas to select multiple items at once.

Click and drag on an empty area of the plan to draw a marquee. Anything inside the box becomes part of your selection, ready to move, duplicate, or delete in one go.

This is a big time saver when reorganising a section of a plan or grabbing a cluster of related gear.

Cable bumps

Cables that cross each other now visibly bump over one another. No more guessing which cable is which when two paths overlap.

Busy plans stay readable, and you can follow a single cable from end to end without losing your place.

Bidirectional cables

Some cables carry signal in both directions. USB, Ethernet and Fibre runs are now properly represented as bidirectional, so the plan reflects how the cable actually behaves in real life.

This pairs nicely with the existing arrow styling, so directional cables still stand out.

New hotkeys

Power users get a fresh set of keyboard shortcuts:

• Change plan orientation - CTRL+o
• Toggle the cables legend - CTRL+l
• Clear your current selection - ESC

On-screen hints show you what is available, so you do not need to memorise the full list to start using them.

Export information bar

Exports now include an optional information bar along the bottom of the image. It pulls in your plan name, plan dates and any notes you have added, so the context travels with the file.

Handy when you are sending a plan over to a freelancer, archiving past jobs, or printing a copy for the warehouse.

Fixes and polish

A long list of small but meaningful fixes ships with this release:

• PDF exports are now properly vector based, so they stay crisp at any zoom level.
• The colour picker popover behaves properly again.
• Labels are readable in both light and dark mode.
• Label positioning is corrected in left-to-right layouts.
• Empty labels no longer show the placeholder word “label”.
• Input/output background colours now reset correctly.
• A range of small layout, padding and stability fixes around connections and the gear plan.

Try it out

Open up any plan to see the changes in action. Marquee select a group of items, hover a busy cable run to see the new highlighting, or hit the orientation hotkey to flip your layout in one tap.
