Summary

The new version 14.1.2 of NET introduces some important improvements and bug fixes.

A warning got added that is now displayed when redlining actions have already been performed for a survey. This helps prevent potential errors and overlaps.

Additionally, the import functionality has been expanded. The general import now also supports the selection of KML and KMZ files, which increases flexibility when integrating data.

In addition to these improvements, various bug fixes and optimizations have been implemented, further enhancing the overall user experience and increasing the software’s stability.

Release NET 14.1.1 in Detail

General

Documentation Pack

• The tooltips for using placeholders have been revised and linked to the online help.

NET Design

atesio Integration

• In the integration of atesio STRATEGIC 2022 and 2023, an issue was fixed where incorrect duct types were used in Drop Trenches.

• Fixed a bug where the STOREATESIOWORKSPACE command did not store the workspace in the same folder as the project file during calculation.

NET Engineering

General

• A memory leak in the TANNIS export process has been fixed, which previously caused the memory to grow excessively.

• A bug was fixed in projects with American measurement system (feet instead of meters) that caused objects displayed from Map3d to be shifted in the Cyclorama.

• The drawing of terminators in the overview “Splice plan (schema)” has been corrected.

• If the splitter type should be changed in the dialog of splitters for one or multiple objects, the amount of splitter paths will be adjusted accordingly if possible.

• The detection of duct insertions and fittings after splitting ducts in the duct connection editor has been improved.

• A progress bar is now displayed when the cyclorama is started.

• If “Active” is subsequently set to “Yes” for a FO Patch or TP Patch, the error no longer occurs.

Import

• The attribute names of the domain tables in the general import have been improved.

• Columns in the data preview are now displayed in the same order as in the attribute links.

• Unsupported data types no longer generate an error when executing the general import. Instead, the invalid data records are automatically filtered out.

• An error with the data types when selecting the filter conditions has been fixed. The filter conditions are now available according to the data type.

• The performance of the general import has been improved when writing to value lists.

• The general import now supports the selection of KML and KMZ files.

• Identical data records are no longer created if objects with the same properties are used in different relations to the same table.

Connection editor

• The selection of terminations and sockets in the connection editor for switching points is now offered in alphabetical order.

Redlining

• The redlining data transfer now transfers the date of completion to NET Engineering.

• A warning is now displayed for redlining actions that have already been carried out for a measurement.

Documentation Pack

• The workflow “extend plot sequence” did contain an error that caused an crash when loading the workflow. This error has been fixed.
