a. Filter - Make changes to the drop-down filters as needed to be applied to the list of available software
Question: The version I need is not listed here, What are my options?
Answer: If a version is missing from the available download listing, this means that it has been Archived. A newer version of the software is now available, and the older, outdated software links are removed from the listing.
Why would a user / company prefer to use an older version of an application instead of taking advantage of the newest version that includes new enhancements and fixes to known issues? AutoPIPE's latest version has the ability to open all models created by older versions, and the ability to save models back to a previous version format. In addition, the newest version of the software includes the most recent Piping Code updates and most of the legacy code years that may be required by project documentation to analyze models. Project documentation should list the piping code required for analysis instead of the software version number.
