Warning!

  • In order to avoid any loss of productivity in your organization, and to give you time to familiarize yourself with the new parcel manager, we have left the old manager available. That said, the old manager will be removed in the next version of VisionPlus 2024 (V34).

  • The use of MDB-type databases by Geo-Plus products will be discontinued as of version 2025 (V35) of our products. So you have until January 2025 to try out, test and migrate your MDBs to sqlite format.

    • Here are the advantages of migrating your databases:

      • Reduced disk space (2 to 10 times less space depending on the case)

      • Stability

      • Security (MDBs allow scripts to be written, making them potentially dangerous).

Preparation before installation

It is recommended to keep backups (details below) before installing, to close all running programs and to restart your computer in order to ensure that all running programs are closed.

 

Saving your templates :

It is recommended to make backups of your files. Save the templates of the descriptive file CogoFileName.mdb, the configuration file (configuration.mdb), VisionPlus line types, fonts, blocks, cells and templates installed in the CAD and VisionPlus folders.

AutoCAD/BricsCAD: (*.lin, *.mln, *.dwg, *.dwt, *.shx, *dwg).
MicroStation: (*.rsc, seed file *.dgn, *.cel)

The model files (like model.dwg) will be replaced during the installation. If you want to keep the model files, rename them or copy them elsewhere. On the server, for example.
