Addendum to the 2024 release:

A new version has been released, 2024.1 which adds additional functionality.

Added is the ability to export to Hilti hpl30 project files, including new projects or adding to existing projects.  You will find a new checkbox on the Export screen:

Initial release already included the ability to import from these files, including usage within the Point Compare screen, this completes and allows full round trip data flow.

Note that this is not an update release but instead a full release replacing what is available for download from your accounts Products page and from the Trial website.  In order to get this version, please download the new installer.  All installers downloaded on or after June 14th will be this updated version.

Thanks,

Can you confirm that the CodeMap feature does not work with dynamic descriptions?

[s.hamel]

Kind of. If you add an entry that maps to what the decoded dynamic description will be, then it will work. But when adding a new entry, and you go to quick select descriptions, it is showing the base value, so you would need to type in what the end result of the description would be instead.
Thanks,
