Info
  • Before installing any Plugin or Starter Pack, please review: Downloading and Installing .Net Framework

  • The EarthWorks Pro v.3 cannot be installed within PlanSwift 11. Work-around: install PlanSwift 10.3.00.56 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. You can download PlanSwift 10.3 here: Release Notes v.11.0.0.89
