Created by Steve Hill, Modified on Mon, 08 Jan 2024 at 08:22 AM by Steve Hill

General:
- Licensing system has been changed to Flexera. We now offer network licensing capabilities as well as other features.
- Ribbon has been redone using .NET instead of a built CUIx file.
- Changed settings path storage location to %username%\Documents\Red Transit Consultants, LLC\Pipe Network Productivity Tools\ to alleviate issues with user permission errors in old storage location.
- Fixed a structure count issue on the Filter Part Selection Dialog - null structures were being included in the counts throwing off numbers.
- RELOCATED FEATURE: The ability to Skip specific structures has been removed as a keyword entry and now has it's own command accessible from ribbon, command line, or from the Extended Settings Manager.
- NEW COMMAND: Load/Unload Ribbon:
  - Command available via command line to load/unload the Pipe Network Tools Ribbon.
- NEW COMMAND: Settings:
  - New overall settings dialog and command. Now offer custom settings for most commands.
Swap Multiple Parts:
- When selecting multiple selection mode, command now allows for parts from multiple networks.
Set Pipes on Surface:
- When selecting multiple selection mode, command now allows for parts from multiple networks.
- When selecting the surface reference, command now allows for a surface profile as selection of the surface. Dialog option and surface selection is still available, however, allowing for selection of the surface profile makes this command a bit faster.
Modify Part References:
- When modifying the surface reference, command now allows for a surface profile as selection of the surface. Dialog option and surface selection is still available, however, allowing for selection of the surface profile makes this command a bit faster.
Modify Hydraulic Properties:
- When selecting multiple selection mode, command now allows for parts from multiple networks.
Rename Pipes and Structures:
- When selecting multiple selection mode, command now allows for parts from multiple networks.
Modify Part Descriptions:
- When selecting multiple selection mode, command now allows for parts from multiple networks.
Raise/Lower Pipes:
- When selecting multiple selection mode, command now allows for parts from multiple networks.
Modify Part Styles, Rules, and Materials:
- When selecting multiple selection mode, command now allows for parts from multiple networks.
- Fixed an issue where the default selection was not assigned causing confusion to the user. Set the default selection to Manual.
Rename Parts:
- Fixed the starting number count for both pipes and structures to be at 1 value greater than total number of pipes/structures.
Pipe Crossing Labels:
- Fixed an issue where updating Pipe Crossing Labels would change the format of the text. Command now only updates the contents as expected.
- Fixed an issue where selecting remove pipe crossing labels when no labels existed caused the software to crash
Split Pipe with Structure:
- Fixed and where when matching a neighboring structure and accidentally selecting something other than a structure, the program would fatal error. Issue has been resolved.
Pipe Slope Single:
- Command now defaults to the current pipe slope when asking for slope input.
Pipe Slope Multiple
- Command now defaults to the current slope of the first pipe when asking for slope input.
- Fixed an issue where in some rare circumstances, selecting start structure and end structure in profile view would not allow for selection.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENT: Set Wye Connections:
- Command now allows for setting the slope of the wye pipe at the same time as setting the connection. It also stores the desired Wye slope as XDATA to the pipe for updating.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENT: Update Wye Connections:
- Command now reads the XDATA to determine if the wye has a set slope and if so, will apply it on updating.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENT: Pipe Slope Multiple:
- Added the ability for command to check if Structure has an assigned specific drop value. If found, command will ignore what was entered via command prompt and use the set value.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENT: Pipe Slope Multiple:
- Added the ability for command to check if Pipe has an assigned specific slope value. If found, command will ignore what was entered via command prompt and use the set value.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENT: Pipe Slope Single:
- Added the ability for command to check if Pipe has an assigned specific slope value. If found, command will ignore what was entered via command prompt and use the set value.
NEW COMMAND: Wye Connection Manager:
- This new tool palette allows for quickly identifying and modifying your wye connections set with the above two commands. Clicking on a row, highlights the pipe in plan. Right clicking on the row allows for zooming to a specific wye pipe.
NEW COMMAND: Reset Palette:
- If palette becomes non discoverable or accidentally docked, this command resets the palette to the original settings and restores it for you.
NEW COMMAND: Set Structure Sump Depths:
- This new command allows for quickly setting your structure sump depths. Multiple selection allows for parts from multiple networks.
NEW COMMAND: Pipe Depth from Structure Rim:
- Sets the pipe depth by selected end of pipe from the selected end's connected structure's rim elevation.
NEW COMMAND: Assign Pipe Slope Value:
- This new command allows for assigning specific pipe slope values and is set to work in conjunction with Pipe Slope Single/Multiple. This new command/feature will allow users to quickly assign specific slopes to specific types of pipes by using the selection filter when assigning the pipe slopes. When running Pipe Slope Single/Multiple, it checks if a pipe has been assigned a specific slope value. If it has, it utilizes that specific slope value for the pipe instead of what was entered in the command line or calculated.
NEW COMMAND: Assign Structure Drop Value:
- This new command allows for assigning specific structure drop values and is set to work in conjunction with Pipe Slope Multiple. When running Pipe Slope Multiple, it checks if structures have been assigned a specific drop value. If they have, it will use the assigned drop value instead of the drop value entered via the command line.
NEW COMMAND: Assign Structure Skip Value:
- Relocated from a keyword entry, this new command allows for assigning specific structure skip values and is set to work in conjunction with Pipe Slope Multiple. When running Pipe Slope Multiple, it checks if a structure has been assigned a skip value, if it has it will skip that structure when applying a drop value. Null structures can still be quickly skipped by adjusting the settings.
NEW COMMAND: Extended Settings Manager:
- This new command allows for easily identifying what pipes/structures have been assigned slopes/drops or skip values to work in conjunction with Pipe Slope Single/Multiple.
NEW COMMAND: Switch Pipe Start/End Coordinates:
- This new command allows users to quickly adjust their pipe start/end coordinates via a path selection through the network. When exporting to certain 3rd party software or some of the Storm sizing software, users typically have to draw pipe networks in a specific direction. This command allows for quickly adjusting that direction instead of having to manually adjust the pipe and reconnect structures.
NEW COMMAND: Part Selection Helper:
- This new command allows allows for quickly selecting plan, profile, or both parts, for use with other Civil 3D commands. Command has the standard Pipe Network Tools selection process but returns a selected set of parts. If needed, hit escape, run another command, and use the ‘P’ for previous function to use that selection in any command.
