We have identified and fixed the root cause for the issues with PlanSwift not running correctly on the Windows 11 operating system.

Effective 9/21/2022 ConstructConnect is committed to releasing quality products. We put PlanSwift 11 through rigorous internal QA testing, user acceptance testing, and a month long beta with PlanSwift customers, during which time, we identified and fixed several installation bugs, but overall received positive feedback. After the general release, we identified several issues that made the upgrade experience less than optimal for some customers. Due to these issues during upgrade installations, we have decided to pullback the release until we can deliver the experience we want you, our loyal customers, to have. PlanSwift 11 will be out soon and we'll notify you as soon as it is available again. |
For more information, watch the What's New Video.
Eligible users can download PlanSwift 11 from MyAccount.
| Warning |
|---|
Before upgrading from any previous version to PlanSwift 11, review the "Known Issues" toward the bottom of this article. Your custom settings are not being retained by the installer and if you've set up custom Storages, they will not be configured when you launch PlanSwift 11 after upgrading. There is a workaround for this issue, see: Workaround for Storages Settings. |

Changes
Updates to PlanSwift Connect
- Allow sending ConstructConnect platform (Project Intelligence, Bid Center) Project Plans and Documents to PlanSwift 11 (updates to the PS-Connect utility happen automatically when you use it)
| Warning |
|---|
As of 9/2/2022, the PS-Connect utility has experienced a system issue. We are investigating and hope to get a fix implemented shortly. In the mean time, you can download all your project plans and other documents to a ZIP file and them manually load them into a new PlanSwift project. See |
Performance enhancements
- Faster unzipping project with takeoff
- Opening projects with 50+ pages
Changes to the installation/upgrade process
We changed the installation/upgrade process a bit. Going forward, the default for all new versions of PlanSwift will be "upgrade-in-place" so that there is only one version of PlanSwift on your machine. You can, optionally, change the installation folder to install "side-by-side" like usual. The biggest benefit is that all your existing projects will be available in the new version of PlanSwift, without you having to copy them or move "Stores".
See Downloading and Installing PlanSwift for detailed installation/upgrade instructions.
Fixes
None
Known Issues
- The EarthWorks Pro v.3 cannot be installed within PlanSwift 11. Work-around: install PlanSwift 10.3.00.56 (downloads located below) before you install PlanSwift 11. Then install the EarthWorks Pro plug-in through PlanSwift 10. Then, upgrade to PlanSwift 11 - be sure to leave the "Install To" folder "PlanSwift 10" so the installer performs an upgrade, not a side-by-side installation. This folder gets renamed "PlanSwift" during the installation process, but EarthWorks Pro will continue to work when you launch and license PlanSwift 11.
- PlanSwift Connect is currently not supported with PlanSwift 11 - we are working on an update.
- Deleted Pages Recycle Bin Folder is not clearing itself periodically. Deleted Pages are stored in a folder called Recycle Bin that should clear periodically to free up space on the user's hard drive. Workaround: Users can clear/empty the Recycle Bin manually. (Will be fixed in a future release)
