# Release Notes
### Systems Requirements
#### OPERATING SYSTEM
* Windows XP - Windows 11
#### AUTOCAD®
* AutoCAD® Plant 3D 2022 - 2027
### History
#### Version 10.2.0.5321 (07.09.2026)
Change: Show the common command line arguments next to the available variables in the batch configuration (PT-5575)
The batch configuration now shows the common command line arguments next to the available variables.
Bug fix: Zip migration loses config files when PlantTools.zip already exists: added files are discarded by an undo check-out and the loose files are deleted (PT-5622)
Configuration files that are added to a project after its PlantTools.zip was created are now migrated into the zip correctly. Previously they were removed from the project without being stored in the zip, so their content was lost. The first migration of a project was never affected.
#### Version 10.1.0.5150 (28.07.2026)
New: Remove dependency on AutoCAD version setting (PT-2281)
Groundwork toward removing the AutoCAD-version dependency: the new hardened assembly resolver is host-aware, detecting whether it runs inside AutoCAD or as a standalone PDM/PR/PB exe and applying different rules accordingly.
New: Reorganize ACPlant 202* (PT-4215)
Groundwork for the ACPlant 202\* reorganization: PlantTools now uses a single shared, version- and host-aware assembly resolver with a defined Libraries (NetCore/FrameWork/) layout, replacing the per-host greedy resolvers.
New: Option to download all PlantTools files (PlantTools.zip + ACPlantTools/MISC files) for Vault/Collaboration projects (PT-5496)
PlantBatch can now optionally download all PlantTools files - PlantTools.zip and the ACPlantTools/MISC files such as ACProject.db, plus databases referenced by .udl files - after opening a Vault or Collaboration project from the command line. Enable it via the new 'Download PlantTools files when using Vault/Collaboration Projects' option in PlantBatch Settings (off by default).
Change: Slim PET/PR/PB installer payload - ship minimal per-year Autodesk runtime (PT-5501)
Smaller PlantExpressTools, PlantReporter and PlantBatch installer downloads (reduced bundled runtime payload).
Change: Migrate PlantTools help links to the new help.auxalia.com documentation (PT-5506)
The in-application help (F1 and the ? buttons) now opens the new online documentation at help.auxalia.com.
Bug fix: PDM 2027: "Unable to load DLL 'e_sqlite3'" when opening a project without Plant 3D installed (PT-5424)
Added missing e\_sqlite3.dll (PDM/PR/PB) for 2027.
Bug fix: xml files in ACPlantTools folder and the PT sub folder are not removed when migrating a vault project (PT-5443)
If a project already has the PlantTools configuration files migrated, then remaining empty folders under the ACPlantTools folder will be removed.
Bug fix: Harden PlantTools assembly resolution: greedy AssemblyResolve in shared Libraries serves wrong-version/non-PT DLLs into AutoCAD -> crashes (net10 System.* leak; Advanced Steel enabler load failure) (PT-5494)
Fixed a crash ("Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=10.0.0.0'") when opening a project or signing in to a collaboration project in AutoCAD Plant 3D 2025 and 2026. The shared program libraries no longer ship .NET 10 versions of the Microsoft.Extensions and System.Management components into the .NET 8 runtime folder.
Bug fix: PlantBatch command-line mode does not download ACC/Vault collaboration projects before running a batch (PT-5495)
PlantBatch can now open ACC and Vault collaboration projects directly from the command line: the project is downloaded automatically before the batch runs. Previously this worked only through the interactive project-open dialog, and command-line runs silently used a local project instead.
Bug fix: PT bundles Autodesk PnP*/ac* runtime DLLs that shadow the installed P3D build -> 'Method not found: DocumentServer.get_DisplayRegion()' crash on project open (PT-5497)
Fixed a crash ("Method not found: DocumentServer.get\_DisplayRegion()") when opening a project or the collaboration project list in AutoCAD Plant 3D after the AutoCAD Plant 3D installation had been updated. PlantTools no longer ships copies of Autodesk's own Plant 3D runtime libraries that could override the installed ones.
Bug fix: GenericDialog buttons and "Show details" appear in the Windows display language instead of the selected PlantTools language (PT-5510)
Dialog buttons and the "Show details" link now always appear in the language selected in PlantTools instead of the Windows display language.
#### Version 10.0.0.5101 (18.06.2026)
New: Added a Kill executable option (PT-5252)
When using Vault or Collaboration projects the script file cannot always be finishing its last lines after the last drawing get closed. In this case there is only the kill option. The delay can be set as well.
New: Auto-dismiss Undo Checkout Dialog option (PT-5253)
When using Vault or Collaboration projects using PLANTUNDOCHECKOUT or PLANTVAULTUNDOCHECKOUT let the UNDO checkout dialog appear which disrupts the batch process. If the option is enabled, the dialog will be closed automatically after it appeared.
New: Inspect script before execution (PT-5254)
In the settings for a batch configuration you can enable the checkbox which then will show a dialog before the AutoCAD script gets executed. This allows inspecting or making changes to the script file before its execution. This is especially helpful to modify the script when testing.
New: Various Improvements for PlantBatch (PT-5310)
* Various improvements and changes around Vault and Collaboration projects.
* Drawings will be checked out by PlantBatch
* Undo Checkout will be applied to checked out drawings
* Completion dialog can be suppressed
* Live progress counter to see the progress
* Extended auto-dismiss function to close additional unwanted Plant 3D dialogs
New: Show AutoCAD version in title (PT-5400)
PlantBatch now displays the selected AutoCAD version and the .NET runtime in its window title, for example "PlantBatch (AutoCAD 2027, .NET 10.0)".
Bug fix: Delete temporary AutoCAD profile before executing acad.exe (PT-5255)
PlantBatch created a temporary AutoCAD profile to download the selected drawings. After that the profile was not deleted again which let to a wrong profile when starting acad.exe.
Bug fix: PlantBatch didn't use the language setting of like all other PlantTools (PT-5256)
PlantBatch didn't use the language setting of like all other PlantTools.
#### Version 9.2.0.4959 (21.04.2026)
New: New PlantBatch app to batch process (PT-5034)
PlantBatch is a new utitlity added to PlantReporter and PlantExpressTools. It allows executing scripts with Plant 3D or run multiple reports as a batch process.
