CHANGELOG

What changed, release by release

Everything new in Wiring Studio, newest first. Each release says where it landed — the web and desktop apps update together, so your whole team gets the same changes at the same time.

LATEST

Export your BOM, cutlist and pin configuration to Excel or CSV, and save your formboard as a 1:1 DXF for CAD.

New
Export to Excel and CSV

Export Project now writes Excel workbooks and CSV files as well as PDFs, so you can sort, filter and price your BOM, cutlist and pin configuration in a spreadsheet or bring them into other tools. In Excel, each sheet gets its own BOM, Cutlist and Connectors worksheets. Prices, quantities and lengths are stored as numbers, the BOM has a total row per sheet, and wire colors are filled cells. Turn off Split by sheet for one worksheet per table instead. CSV writes one table, with rows from every selected sheet.

Export
New
Formboard export to DXF

Print Formboard can now save the active Design sheet as one 1:1 DXF for CAD, a plotter or a cutter. Parts are traced from their images as closed outlines, cables follow their centerlines at their outer diameter, and labels, the grid and the board edge each sit on their own layer. Drawing units follow the project: millimeters or inches. Choose PDF or DXF at the top of the dialog, and turn off Fill Parts to export outlines only.

Turn a photo of a hand-drawn sketch into a draft sheet, and imported cables now attach to the side of a component that faces them.

New
Import from a hand-drawn sketch

Photograph a hand-drawn harness sketch and get a rough draft on a sheet: components, the cables between them, lengths, coverings, labels and part numbers. Right-click a sheet tab and choose Import from drawing…, or send the photo from your phone. Draw onto an empty sheet, a new sheet, or replace the one you're on. Wires and pins are left for you to add. Needs a plan with AI features.

Import
Improved
Imported cables attach to the facing side

Cables from sketch and Excel imports now attach to the side of each component that faces them and fan out along it, instead of all meeting at one corner. Sketch imports also follow the side of the box a line is drawn on, and imported components land where you drew them.

1.17.0

10 October 2026 · Web · Desktop · MCP

Pin Configuration now works like a spreadsheet, and you can start a wire before you know where it goes.

Improved
Redesigned Pin Configuration

Pin Configuration now fills nearly the whole window and works like a spreadsheet: move with the keyboard, fill down with Ctrl+D and hide the columns you don't use. Click a pin number to open the pin inspector, which shows everything on that pin and lets you edit it. Click a wire, contact or seal that's already set to open it in the library editor.

Pin Config
New
Unconnected wires

Enter a wire, color code or network name on a pin before you know where it goes. It stays on the pin as an unconnected wire until you choose a destination, and a new design rule, No destination, lists any you haven't finished. MCP clients see them in get_pin_config.

Pin Config
Fixed
Shields show on the right pin

A cable shield wired to another connector no longer appears on a pin of the connector its cable starts from. It shows only on the pin it actually connects to.

Cables

Freeze a project as a read-only, numbered revision you can restore later, and duplicate a whole project or component.

New
Project revisions

Freeze a project at a milestone — sent to manufacturing, a design review, a customer approval — as a read-only, numbered revision, and keep working on the live project. Create one from the projects list, a canvas right-click, the actions panel or the desktop Project menu. Open a revision to view every sheet read-only; PDFs exported from it carry the revision number. Restore a revision to bring the live project back to that state, optionally saving the current version as a revision first. Lite includes 5 revisions per project, Pro and Team are unlimited, and revisions never count toward your project limit. An MCP client gets the same capability through create_revision, list_revisions and restore_revision.

Projects
New
Duplicate projects and components

Right-click a project or a reusable component and choose Duplicate to make an independent copy, named after the original with (copy) added. Every sheet comes with it — all wiring, pin configuration, project settings and disabled design rule checks — though library parts stay shared rather than copied. The copy counts toward your plan's project or component limit. An MCP client gets the same capability through the duplicate_project tool.

23 September 2026 · Web · Desktop

Print the active sheet as a full-scale, tiled PDF you can tape together into a real formboard.

New
Print Formboard

Print Formboard prints the active Design sheet at an exact physical scale, tiled across as many pages of a chosen paper size as it takes, with an overview page, trim marks, glue overlaps, registration crosses and a calibration ruler. Find it in the actions panel under Export, the Design canvas right-click menu, or Project > Print Formboard… on desktop. The scale is derived from your cable lengths, the same rule the 3D view uses, with a per-export override. It runs entirely on your own machine, so it works offline.

1.14.1

23 September 2026 · Web · Desktop

Components you paste or duplicate now match the original in the Wiring view, and the projects list is more reliable.

Fixed
Pasted components match the original

When you copy and paste or duplicate a component in the Design view, the copy now matches the original in the Wiring view: same size, rotation, flips and pin layout.

Wiring
Improved
More reliable projects list

Your projects list is more reliable, so what you see there always reflects your latest work.

A new 3D view shows your layout as a physical harness, with your parts' 3D models, and exports it as a GLB file.

New
3D view

Click 3D in the toolbar to turn the sheet you have open into a harness you can orbit, with cables drawn as tubes sized from the wires inside them. Attach the manufacturer's STEP file, or another 3D model, to a library part to show it in place of its photo, then export the sheet as a GLB file for Blender or a design review.

1.13.0

15 September 2026 · MCP

Wiring Studio now has an MCP server, so an AI assistant can work inside your account: sign in once and it can read, draw and check your harnesses alongside you. The web and desktop apps are unchanged in this release.

New
Connect an AI assistant to Wiring Studio

Point Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or any other MCP client at one hosted address and sign in once — there is nothing to install and no API key to generate. The assistant can then list your projects, read a sheet, add components, wire cavities, assign parts and pins, build cables, run the design rule checks, pull a BOM or cutlist and take a screenshot of what it has drawn. It works as you, with exactly the access you already have, and its edits appear on the canvas straight away for everyone in the project.

MCP

1.12.0

11 September 2026 · Web · Desktop

Parts can now record their product series, with three new design rules for parts that won't fit together. Pin configuration gains bulk part assignment, and part numbers are clickable everywhere.

New
Part series

Connectors, contacts, backshells, locks and wire seals can record the vendor's product series, such as Deutsch DT. It's shown before the description everywhere, and you can filter the library by it. Contact and seal pickers open narrowed to the connector's series, Excel import reads it, and three new design rules flag parts from the wrong series.

Library
New
Bulk part assignment

Tick rows, or the header checkbox for the whole connector, and set the contact, seal, wire or colour code on all of them at once.

Pin Config
Improved
Clickable part numbers everywhere

Part numbers in the cutlist, the wiring selection panel and the component and shield dialogs now open the part in the library editor, as the BOM already did.

BOM

Every design rule can now be switched off per project, the rules badge sits on the canvas permanently, and a pinned wire trace follows you across mating connectors.

New
Per-rule switches

Every design rule now has a switch — open the settings from the rules badge and turn off the checks this harness doesn't need, saved to the project. All 32 are grouped by what they cover, each showing how many problems it's finding.

Rules
New
Rules badge always on canvas

The rules badge is always on the canvas now, not just when something is wrong, and opens on a tap as well as a hover.

Rules
New
Traces follow a sheet jump

A pinned wire trace now follows you when you jump to a mating connector on another sheet.

Design
Fixed
Tab switching closed dialogs

Switching browser tabs no longer closes open dialogs or restarts the Design view's loading screen.
