1.2 Installation/Upgrade
This version includes a new version of the helper program DwgAcp.exe. If you use the “AutoCAD DWG/DXF” format, you need to uninstall the existing DwgAcpSetup.msi and install the new Setup. Please also not the information below regarding the SW_ACP_PATH.
1.2.1. Information on used Libraries
Library | Description |
---|---|
GdalAcp.exe | The following version from gisinternals is used: MSVC 2017 win32 release-1911-gdal-mapserver 2019-12-04 23:50:38 55a653d 448bf54 (imortant bug fixes for Postgresql 12 were only available in this version, for this reason no “stable release” was used this time. |
NeplanAcp.exe | Uses Neplan_Api_Dll_and_Test_App_V10.8.2.0.zip (NEPLAN 10.8.2.0) |
1.2.2. Environment Variables for SEPM ACPs
While loading the software a file fixup_acp_path.magik in each corresponding module the environment variable SW_ACP_PATH gets amended. Therefore the SW_ACP_PATH must only be edited by hand in special cases. When upgrading to version 2019-02 corresponding entries in files like gis_alias should be removed.
SEPM ACP | Description |
---|---|
GdalAcp.exe | Set to gdal_acp\bin |
NeplanAcp.exe | Set to neplan_acp\Release |
reframe_acp.exe | Set to reframe_acp\bin |
DwgAcp.exe | Set to the default directory in the Setup, in this release: C:\Program Files\SEPM\DwgAcp60 The SW_ACP_PATH must only be edited if you install the DwgAcpSetup.msi into an other directory. |
2. SEPM X-Translator
2.2.1. Automat
An example to automate an X-Translator export using an Windows Command File is now included as a template and can be adapted if needed.
See x_translator\data\automat.
3. SEPM NEPLAN Interface
3.1.1. ListXML Format
NEPLAN has specified a new XML format (Neplan 10.8.0 List XML Manual.pdf). This version of the SEPM NEPLAN interface implements this format for the following applications:
- NIS-Strom: Beta version of ListXML output: All data of the current XML interface are exported to the ListXML as well. Some final tests are still pending though, which is why the productive release will follow shortly.
- NRM-Heating: ListXML output has been implemented for NRM-Heating and can be used in production.
3.1.2. NEPLAN NRM-Heating Interface
A new interface from NRM-Heating to NEPLAN 360/V10 has been added.

- a migration version for use in migration efforts.
This version of the underlying helper program GdalAcp.exe was compiled with the latest binaries and tested among others with Posgresql 12 / PostGIS 3.0.
