Summary
Starting from version NET 14.1.1, the "plot" and "plot sequence" templates in the Documentation Pack are functional again.
In NET Engineering, stability issues with tree views have been resolved. The assignment of devices to buildings or structures now works correctly again. Additionally, the delete function for clusters has been optimized.
In the General Import, the display of filter conditions has been improved, and specific coordinate systems of individual geometries are now taken into account.
The import and export from NET Build have been expanded to support reference edges and reference points. Furthermore, planning objects are now consistently updated.
Additionally, there are several smaller improvements and bug fixes across various areas of NET.

TKI Lizenzierung 14.0
(Only required for a manual installation on the network license server)
The specified versions for Autodesk AutoCAD and Map 3D are the ones for which NET was developed. Generally, newer versions can also be used. However, there have been occasional updates in the past that caused crashes in NET.
Autodesk AutoCAD Map 3D 2025: Currently, we advise against the productive use of the 2025 version of Autodesk AutoCAD Map 3D. In our tests, this version of Map 3D has proven to be unstable. Additionally, the compatible PGP version is still under development.
Note on the AutoCAD Map 3D versions
Please note the minimum required versions of Autodesk AutoCAD Map 3D for the operation of NET 14.1. The version for Autodesk Map 3D 2025 has been updated since NET 14.0. The patched version is required for NET to work correctly.
Please check your installed AutoCAD Map 3D version and pay attention to these two version details when doing so:
Release NET 14.1.1 in Detail
General
Documentation Pack
-
Templates of the type “plot” and “plot sequence” - showing an error with NET 14.1 - now allow the execution again.
One-click-maintenance
-
The 1-click maintenance “TKI: Empty/duplicate DialogLayoutName attributes” has been extended and now also generates warnings if duplicate names for form types exist. These problems are fixed by giving the duplicates an ascending number at the end so that they are unique again.
NET Engineering
General
-
Upon opening a form or workflow containing tree views there was a chance of errors occurring in case a node type was not handled explicitly by the rendering logic. This was fixed by using a default naming scheme for non-configurable elements.
-
The query regarding the assignment of a device to a building or structure or vice versa, including the option to apply the selection to all objects, now works as expected again.
-
A bug in the cluster deletion function has been fixed.
-
In the “Create and assign ducts (w/o geometry)” workflow, there is now a meaningful error if the workflow is to be executed for a duct that was deleted while the workflow was open.
-
The objects loaded from Map3d into Cyclorama now have a property for calling a Map3d form so that a direct jump from the Cyclorama view into Map3d is possible.
Connection editor
-
The connection editor no longer displays a message if internal adjustments were made to the data as a side effect of the actions performed. These adjustments have no effect on working with the connection editor.
Dialogs
-
Updating multiple splitters globally now causes the associated splitter paths to be recalculated.
Reports
-
In the diagram “FO Connection Plan” the cable alias for incoming cables is now correctly aligned.
Import
-
Globally in the project settings set values for the status and the client via the NET ribbon no longer overwrite values set during import.
-
The display of filter conditions in the general import has been improved.
-
The “Quote” input field in the general import has been limited to one character.
-
The selected import template is loaded correctly.
-
In the general import, an error has been fixed that resulted in the selection of the mandatory field being removed.
-
If a geometry has a different coordinate system than the one preselected during import, the specific coordinate system is now taken into account.
-
Tooltips have been added to all pages of the general import.
-
The display of attribute assignments in the general import has been improved.
-
The data preview for the attribute assignments of the general import now only shows the selected attributes.
TNIM
-
The TNIM import and TNIM export now have a help button that redirects to the relevant page in the online help.
Import from NET Build
-
When importing from NET Build, an error occurred if a user-defined field did not have a value.
-
The import from NET Build has been extended so that objects for reference edges and reference points can now be loaded via the standard interface.
Export to NET Build
-
The geometry of a planning object is now also updated if there is an applicable update configuration and no measurement has yet taken place for the object.
-
The name of planning objects is now always overwritten during an update.
-
Distribution clusters are now only exported if they are completely within their parent cluster.
