Version 3.0.0.0

New Features:

General:

This version is a completely rebuilt version of Pipe Network Productivity Tools. Full code restructure in C# and a new Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) user interface. A complete overhaul was necessary with the forward plans in store for future efforts of Pipe Network Productivity Tools and to assist in helping to share this product in more languages around the world.

Key new features:

Settings -

• By default, settings are now stored in the DWG files as the tools are used. Thus, unique drawings can have unique settings saved only for that specific file, allowing multiple users to access those same settings. If settings do not exist in a file, the settings xml stored in the Documents directory below is utilized.
