Answer: In the revision history of IRONCAD DCS, you will find designations such as Complete Installation, Product Update (PU), Service Pack (SP) and HotFix (HF). These indicate the type of update - from complete new installation to small specific fixes. By understanding the difference, you can choose the right file for your working environment and ensure maximum compatibility in 3D CAD projects.
Answer: Edition indicates which version is displayed at startup, Version is displayed under Help > About, and Version number is often used in file names and paths during installation. By noting all three, you can ensure that you have the correct update for your license and avoid problems with older files.
Answer: The Launched column shows when Solidmakarna made the version available for the Swedish market. Local customizations, such as Swedish language packs or metric settings, sometimes make this date different from international release dates.
