<details>

<summary>New: All PlantTools configuration files in one zip file (PT-4867)</summary>

All PlantTools configuration files are now stored in one single zip file. This improves the speed when opening a project in Plant 3D, or our PlantDataManager and PlantReporter.

Since customers use more and more calculations, link configurations, or report configurations, the opening of a project took quite some time.

<summary>Bug fix: PlantLink used the absolute path to open drawings when updating links in project (PT-4249)</summary>

PlantLink used the absolute path stored in the PnPDrawings table instead of constructing the path from the project folder + the relative path. Remark: The absolute path stored in the PnPDrawings table will be set when creating/adding a file to Project Manager, but this path will never be updated. When you move the project to a different location, the absolute path will become invalid. Plant 3D itself will not use the absolute path. It will only be set when adding a file to Project Manager.

<details>

<summary>New: Do not Check In/Out/Download PlantTools files when using Vault projects (PT-2749)</summary>

With PlantTools version 6.0.0.2267 (first support for Plant 3D 2023) we linked the PlantTools files (located under \[PROJECT]\ACPlantTools) into the MISC.dcf database so the PlantTools files appear under the **Related Files** folder in Project Manager. However, this cause a problem with Vault projects when we started to check in/out/download the PlantTools files for Collaboration projects in later versions. Now the PlantTools files are still linked into the MISC.dcf, but they are not checked in/out/downloaded anymore if current project is using Vault. You can now just copy PlantTools files from another project or template project into your Vault project and open the project in Plant 3D again. Alternatively, you can follow the [Workflow with Vault and PlantTools](https://github.com/auxalia-GmbH/ax-end-user-doc/blob/master/docs/Plant-Tools/en/plantlink/PlantTools.html).

</details>

<details>

<summary>Bug fix: Links are not active right away when opening a project (PT-2683)</summary>

Allow the execution of SQL Scripts when a project is loaded. This helps with the creation of views often used for PlantLink.

<summary>Bug fix: Error (Dialog #00487) when opening a project with no MISC database (PT-1675)</summary>

When opening a project where the MISC database doesn't exist you get an error. This applies typically to old projects where the MISC database didn't exists from project creation on. Only when you added files or folders under 'Related Files' was the MISC database created. PT-1675-1 The Plugins like PlantClashDetection, PlantDataManager, PlantExpressTools, PlantLink, PlantSpecDriven and PlantSync will create the file on project load. PlantDataManager and PlantReporter show the following dialog as an info. The project will be loaded anyway. PT-1675-2 If you extend the dialog you get information on how to create the MISC database.

<summary>Bug fix: Wrong PnPID converted while migrating ACPProcessPower to ProcessPower (PT-1525)</summary>

While migrating ACPProcessPower into ProcessPower it could happen that both databases contain the same PnPID. If this PnPID is used inside relationships it happened that the wrong PnPId (the one from ProcessPower and not the one from ACPProcessPower) got converted. This resulted in a silent exception and therefore wasn't obvious to the user.

<summary>New: Using ProcessPower.dcf for Not-Placed Objects (PT-1079)</summary>

The ACPProcessPower.dcf database hosted the Not-Placed Objects (NPOs) which were created by PlantSpecDriven or PlantDataManager, and also used by PlantReporter. The NPOs will now be stored in the ProcessPower.dcf (P\&ID database) directly. This applies to SQL-Server projects as well. The advantage is, that when using Vault or ACC/BIM projects, those NPOs will also be check in/out. The first time you open a project PDM, PDM-Plugin, PET, PL, PR, or PSD will migrated an existing ACPProjectPower.dcf and its content into PID's ProcessPower.dcf. If you are updating any of the following PlantTools (PlantDataManager, PlantExpressTools, PlantLink, PlantReporter, PlantSpecDriven) you MUST make sure, that the other PlantTools you have installed are also updated to version 5.0.0.x.

PT-1283-2 It will be created for all 'Base Classes' like Pipe Line Group, Signal Line Group, Engineering Items, and Non Engineering Items. It will now also be created for 3D (P3d Line Group, Piping and Equipment, Steel Structure, and Pulled Pipe Bend. PT-1284-1 The PET\_GUID will be filled (if empty) on drawing load. PT-1283-1 The PET\_GUID will also be filled right away as soon as an object is created. In addition of filling the PET\_GUID with a new value if PET\_GUID is empty, there are two rules which apply: 1.Copying (copy, array, mirror, CTRL+C/CTRL+V, using grips for copying, and more) The copied objects will get a new PET\_GUID because not two objects can have the same GUID. 2.Move (move, using grips for moving, rotate, CTRL+X/CTRL+V, and more) The moved objects will keep their GUID. The two rules apply also when copying and moving between drawings.

<summary>Change: Adapting UDL paths for Link Configurations (PT-973)</summary>

This change was already included in Version 4.0.0.1441 (24.04.2021) PlantLink adapts the path in the UDL file if possible. If the UDL files and the data source (e.g. an MS Access DB, \*.accdb) reside in the same folder, the path to the data source in the UDL file doesn't require a path. The main reason for this adaptation of the UDL files is, that when we will support Vault and BIM360, we do not want: 1.Absolute paths 2.Using \[PP] or \[PN] in the paths Here are some examples. UDL and ACCDB are in the same folder Before: *Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.16.0;Data Source= D:\Projects\Demo Project\PSD Demo XREFs 2018\ACPlantTools\PlantExpressTools\SelectionLists\mw\.accdb;Persist Security Info=False* After: *Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.16.0;Data Source=mw\.accdb;Persist Security Info=False* UDL file in the SelectionLists folder and ACCDB under Related Files Before: *Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.16.0;Data Source=D:\Projects\Demo Project\PSD Demo XREFs 2018\Related Files\mw\.accdb;Persist Security Info=False* After: *Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.16.0;Data Source=......\Related Files\mw\.accdb;Persist Security Info=False* UDL file using Variables (i.e. \[PP] or \[PN]) Before: *Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.16.0;Data Source=\[PP]\Related Files\mw\.accdb;Persist Security Info=False* After: *Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.16.0;Data Source=......\Related Files\mw\.accdb;Persist Security Info=False*

PT-972-2 The properties of extended links also appear in Project Setup, although they are not really existing properties defined for the class.

<summary>New: auxaliaLicenseManager automatically runs "Check for Updates..." (PT-160)</summary>

PlantTools trigger the "Update License" check of the network license in auxaliaLicenseServer service on your server. auxaliaLicenseServer is checking the license every 15 min to ensure, that your license information (e.g. number of license, expiration dates) are updated automatically without your need for involvement. There is no need to keep the auxaliaLicenseManager open. PT-160-1 If a PlantTools is started and it finds an older CADSTUDIOLicenseManager or auxaliaLicenseManager installed on the server, the following dialog shows up. PT-160-2 You can decide when you want to be reminded again. The maximum is 2 weeks. After that, you will have a maximum of another week, then another 4 days and so on. That gives you a grace period of 4 weeks till auxaliaLicenseManager must be updated. If you don't do this, you will be reminded every time the PlantTools is asking for a license.

We discontinue the support for AutoCAD P\&ID 2016/2017 and AutoCAD Plant 3D 2016/2017. Typically we only removed only one version when adding the newest AutoCAD Plant 3D version, but since hardly any customer is using AutoCAD P\&ID 2017 or AutoCAD Plant 3D 2017 anymore we decided to cut off the two oldest versions. Another argument was, that there is no migration needed between 2018 and 2022 which makes it more convenient for customers t use those newer versions.

<summary>Change:Changed Trial Period from 30 to 14 days (PT-975)</summary>
