One of the most important news is the Automatic white
balance. The reason why many white kitchens looked
coloured in Winner Design 10.5 is that large, coloured surfaces created a coloured light in the room. The Automatic
white balance tool in Winner 11 will in 95% of the cases,
solve this problem.

In a few cases, the auto white balance tool may not give
you the result that you expect. In these cases, try to use
the colour picker
(Select neutral colour) and click in an
area where you expect a white colour. The ceiling is often
a good candidate for this.

You have probably been in a situation searching for a code
in a huge catalogue with thousands of items. You know it is
there but you cannot find it. Now we give you the solution,
a fast and efficient tool to search for the right products.
NOW IT’S FASTER AND
EASIER TO FIND THE
PRODUCTS YOU ARE
LOOKING FOR!
• It’s possible to toggle between the radio buttons by
clicking the description text in front of it.
Just press Enter in the Code field and the advanced Select
product dialog appears:
• For a quick reset of all selections, simply double-click
on the text Ignored.
• The Hinge/direction radio button will assist in finding
for example cabinets with a separate item code for the
left and right hinged cabinet or also for asymmetrical

Some tips and tricks to navigate smarter and faster in
the dialog :
• With the cursor located in the Code field, a quick way
to change to another catalogue is to press CTRL while
typing the catalogue name (using the characters A to
Z). Once you release CTRL the catalogue will change.
For a catalogue containing special characters like e.g.
‘Häcker Classic’, the best option would be to press CTRL
and type CLASSIC.

supplier for current alternative.

Easier to place objects and see consequences when a sloping ceiling is defined.
EASIER AND FASTER
WAY TO CHANGE
MODELS AND
PROPERTIES
A new fast way to change models or properties from inside Drawings settings (F7),
has been developed. In the preview in the top right corner, just double click on the item
you want to change. If you double click on a wall, floor or ceiling you get directly into
the room properties. If you double click on a cabinet you get into the change model of
the kitchen cabinets. If you double click on the worktop, plinth, light screen and so on,
you get inside the change model for that type of object.
First you create your comment with arrow as usual. Then you
just select the comment, right click and choose the menu Add
comment arrow.
ADD MULTIPLE
ARROWS FROM SAME
COMMENT
BENEFITS FOR YOU Sometimes the comment is related
to several objects/installations. Now you do not need to
create two or more identical comments any more.

When placing an installation you have now the possibility
to choose Distance from top.
SHOW MEASUREMENTS
ON INSTALLATIONS
FROM CEILING/ TOP
BENEFITS FOR YOU In the past you could only register
distance on installations from left/right and bottom. In
some situations it is more convenient to register the measurement from top.
Now you can quickly delete several catalogues in one single operation.
In the past you had to delete catalogues one by one. Open the dialog
Registered catalogues and the menu option Catalogue / Multiple delete.
DELETE SEVERAL
CATALOGUES IN ONE
OPERATION
We advise you not to delete catalogues that have been used in alternatives
you may later want to adapt. When changing such alternatives, you might
need to update to the latest catalogue version in order to get the model
and price information available as you expect.
When you download catalogues, the list of suggested catalogues to be downloaded is now connected to your database.
In the past the list of suggested catalogues to be downloaded was connected to the customer account regardless of
the number of databases used. That caused a problem when a user downloaded catalogues and then a second user
also downloaded catalogues using another database (e.g. on a laptop). The second user did not get any suggested
catalogues to be downloaded.
DOWNLOAD OF
CATALOGUES ARE NOW
HANDLED PER DATABASE
COMPUSOFT
WINNER DESIGN 11.0
INDEX
BENEFITS FOR YOU Now you can be sure that you have the latest updated catalogues available on your computer after
using the function download catalogues with the suggested (ticked) catalogues.
In the past you were not able to print documents if your
margin on a certain alternative was beyond the minimum
margin defined. Now you can tick Allow printing on illegal
margin in the Profit margin settings and force the printout
to be done.
ALLOW PRINTING ON
ILLEGAL MARGIN
BENEFITS FOR YOU By ticking Allow printing on illegal
margin the margin definition acts as a visual control and
is not blocking your workflow.
In the past placing cabinets in a corner often gave some
challenges when defining the size of the fillers. In this
new version we have done a lot of work to simplify this
calculation.
IMPROVED AUTO
CALCULATION OF
CORNER FILLERS
COMPUSOFT
WINNER DESIGN 11.0
INDEX
BENEFITS FOR YOU ou will now discover that the calculation of fillers is done automatically give you extra time to
spend on other tasks.
Finally you can define different definitions for the edges in
the same drawing. It is for instance quite common to use
a different plinth for an island solution compared to the
cabinets that are placed at the wall. It is now possible to
draw this automatically in Winner Design.
DEFINE DIFFERENT
PLINTHS, LIGHT
SCREENS, CORNICES,
CEILING FILLERS,
COVING AND SKIRTING
IN THE SAME DRAWING
In version 11.0 it is now possible to define as many edge
definitions as you like. The definition for these new options
is done in the Drawing settings dialog (F7).
Example 1 : In this example we create two plinth definitions:
1. First create your standard plinth as before.
2. Create a new plinth edge definition by
choosing New.
3. You must then register code/model/colour for this new
definition. The definition is saved as option 1. A new height
layer is also added called Plinth: option 1.
4. Place some cabinets as usual at height level on plinths.
5. C hoose height layer
Plinth: option 1. You find
this field in the top right
corner of the screen.

6. Place some more cabinets and you see that these
cabinets are now placed on the new plinth you have
defined as option 1.

definitions: (The same can be done with cornices and
ceiling fillers)
Exemple 3 : In this example we create two skirting definitions: (The same can be done with coving)

The new skirting is now visible on the selected wall.
We have now given you the possibility to distinguish between
exterior walls and interior walls. In the System settings we
have predefined the thickness of these two kinds of walls.
You may change these values by choosing the menu System
settings. Then choose the tab Measurement and click
DISTINGUISHING
BETWEEN EXTERIOR
WALLS AND INTERIOR
WALLS
You may now change the measurements Default exterior
wall thickness and Default interior wall thickness.

alternative from Room properties.

WINNER DESIGN 11.0
INDEX
When you draw a room, all the walls are initially considered
as exterior walls. You may change an exterior wall to interior wall by selecting a wall, right click and tick the menu
Is interior wall. Then the thickness of this wall is changed
according to the Interior wall thickness. If you repeat this
process and untick the menu
Is interior wall the wall is
changed back to exterior wall.
When you free draw a false wall, these walls are always
considered as interior walls. If you complete the shape of
a free drawn wall by choosing the icon
or by pressing
Ctrl+3 (close figure with indicated thickness), the predefined
Interior wall thickness is proposed.
NEW ADVANCED
FUNCTIONALITY
WHEN USING SEVERAL
PROJECT DATABASES
NEW SHORTCUTS
AVAILABLE
To split your project database into several smaller databases
has been available in Winner Design for years. This function
can speed up your work essentially. You may for instance
create one project database for each year of work.
It is also possible to define that the customer database shall
be kept as one global database. Until now the customer
database has always been created locally together with
each project database available.
We have now added possibilities to work with several
project databases even more smoothly.
We advise you to contact your local Compusoft support
team for more information regarding these new configuration possibilities.
It is now possible to define that your product database
(catalogues) can be saved locally together with your project
database. In this way you can keep only the catalogues
used in a particular project database and you can avoid
that one global catalogue database is constantly growing.
