INTRODUCTION

Please see our web site (support.softree.com ) for up to date information regarding new and maintenance releases, documentation and training.

COMPATIBILITY WITH PREVIOUS VERSIONS

Version 7.x is file compatible with versions 6.x, 5.x and 4.x. Although earlier versions will read newer version files, data associated with newer features will not be visible in earlier versions and will be lost if the file is saved in the earlier version..  

There is no need to uninstall previous versions before installing 7. If you wish to return to an earlier version, just install it over. If you choose to uninstall a previous version, you may want to first back up your defaults and layouts (files in the RoadEng folder).

Only versions 5.x and 4.x have a conversion utility that allows them to read version 3.x files and these conversion utilities are incompatible with 64bit operating systems. Please contact Softree to convert 3.x files. Once files have been converted, they can no longer be read by 3.x software. There is no "Save As previous version" function, although ASCII and DXF formats can be used for this purpose to some extent.

ENHANCEMENTS SINCE THE 6.0 RELEASE

The following features have been added to Softree products since the version 6.0 release March, 2013. This is when 6.1β was created. 

The version number below is the first version of the software that contains the enhancement.
