DI Optimize - new versions of the plugins.

We have now released a new version of the data plugin, and version 1.1.0 is now available.

In this new version, we are including the updated coordinates of a module if it is moved in QGIS. It will work as follows:

• If you change the coordinates of a module in QGIS and export it back to DI Main, the new coordinates will be stored on the pending in DI Main.

• If you "re-import" the pending to QGIS, you will retrieve the updated coordinates that you set for the module in your last session.

• If you change the coordinates of a module in QGIS, export back to DI Main, and publish the pending , the new coordinates will be applied to the module in DI Main in general and be used in other processes.

Currently, we don't have a user manual on how to move modules, but if this is of interest, please contact us for a short demo on how this is done.

Tomorrow, we plan to release a new version of the optimize plugin, and version 1.3.0 will be available for installation.

In this new version of the optimize plugin, we are introducing a merge layer feature. With this feature, we complete the workflow for working with "selected features only," making it possible to split up a pending, optimize sections of the pending independently, and then merge the input layers from each section before exporting them back to DI Main.

A typical use case might be when you have a pending where you have clear ideas to route structure or there can be geographical restrictions, such as an island or a peninsula. In some cases, it might make sense to optimize the modules in such sections separately, resulting in an input layer per section.

Please make sure to read the DI Optimize user manuals on the support pages (kunnskapsbasen). We work hard to update our documentation and add relevant reading for our users.
