KEY | Title | Description | Action Taken | Resolution | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
KEY | Title | Description | Action Taken | Resolution | |
1 | Windows 10 Creator issue with launching PlanSwift | PlanSwift was taking an extremely long time to load or, in some cases, the PlanSwift splash screen would appear to be loading the program as usual, but would disappear after some time and nothing would happen to actually load PlanSwift. | Code and Security Updates | Resolved (verified by QA) | |
2 | Converting Images to TIFF (Scanning) | This issue is magnified by the RAM limitations with 32 bit programs being only allowed to run 2 gigs of RAM | The RAM patch that was implemented in this version should help to improve performance with this issue | Resolved (not verified by QA) | |
3 | Access Violation when Subtracting Section in "Box Mode" | Some users wanting to toggle the Box mode/PointToPoint mode for subtracting sections of Areas have encountered problems and access violations. Replication of access violation is only sometimes reproducible, not 100% reproducible | Added an extra option to the right click menu. Now there is an option to Subtract from Section (P2P) and an option to Subtract from Section (Box) | Resolved (verified by QA) | |
4 | Send Data clicking outside form creates Access Violation | A fatal exception would occur when clicking outside of the Send Data Menu | Function was completely re-written to correct the issue as well as give the UI the same look and fell as the rest of the menus. | Resolved (verified by QA) | |
5 | Collapsing Template Panel causes page to zoom out | Collapsing or expanding the side docking panels would cause PlanSwift to reset the zoom level to full extents. | Resolved (verified by QA) | ||
6 | Remove "Wall Area Segment" from PlanSwift | Wall Area Types are still in the program and this does not appear to be resolved yet... | |||
7 | 32bit/64bit - 2gig/4gig RAM patch | Helps maximize available memory for PlanSwift if the machine has enough RAM installed. | Helps with importing plans and out of memory issues. | Resolved (verified by QA) | |
8 | Address book not showing data in 10.1.1.7 | Previous versions dataset was incompatible with the new format. | Updated the address book to automatically import the old Firebird database records to the new format. Also made UI improvements to enhance the functionality including searches. | Resolved (verified by QA) | |
9 | Copied items from Templates to Takeoff Summary disables digitizer | Copied items from Templates to Takeoff Summary disables digitizer not allowing the user to begin recording. | Recording being disabled was in fact not a bug. The ability to drag and drop from templates to Takeoff Summary was never supposed to be there in the first place. This has now been disallowed. Should a user wish to copy multiple templates into a project it should be done on the Takeoff Tab. Copying from the Templates sidebar into the Takeoff tab is the way to add them to the job in a fully functional way. |
