General
Known Issues
For this release the following issues have been reported:
Component | Issue description | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Console - License Manager - Softlock | Softlock are onder beta evaluation and will not be supplied for the 8.18.x versions | Use a HASP dongle |
| Licensing | If you start a QPS application (QINSy, Qimera or Fledermaus) with a HASP dongle and you also have a softlock license for the same application on the same computer, our applications will always authenticate against the HASP. If you then pull out the HASP dongle, the usual warning will appear and the application will shut down unless the HASP dongle is reinserted in time to prevent this. This is the exact same behavior a user would have encountered prior to introduction of our softlock licensing system in that if you pull out a HASP and do not re-insert, then the application will close. The limitation is that the current licensing system does NOT check for a softlock license after the HASP is removed, this is an improvement that we will consider in the future. | Do not start the application with a HASP if you expect to need to pull out the HASP. Do not pull out the HASP dongle. |
Processing Manager/Navigation Display | Memory problem with CAD files which contain many complex Blocks. | Simplify the Blocks in the used source file. |
| Processing Manager/ENC | Issue with different usage levels of ENC's of Rijkswaterstaat of the Netherlands. It is not possible to view the Zeeland ENC and Nederland ENC at the same time. | Zeeland ENC does show up with usage level: Use 'Compilation' scale Nederland ENC does show up with usage level: Use 'Custom and Standard' |
| Processing Manager/Navigation Display | The change in colormaps (see item Color Map reversed above) may cause grids to look different from before. Make sure to set the path to the Color Maps folder in the latest release. Setting the path correctly in the Console's Global Settings, will set it right for use throughout QINSy. | |
| Navigation Display | Display of background files with arcs with a very large radii are drawn inaccurately. | Use the line in the lineplanning and it will be drawn correctly. Will be solved in the upcoming release. |
| Navigation Display | Background file that was created by converting this from a design will not show lines when the start and end point of that line is outside the view. | Do not convert design files to background files. Note that this option is now disabled in this version. |
| Drivers - Output | This issue is only applicable when |
