In this update the Span Profile and Multi-Span Profile feature was reviewed. This resulted in several adjustments and a few bug fixes related to the display. This includes an improvement to which spans are included when a large area of poles in the Plan View are selected. A small feature was added t...

There has been some questions lately about the accuracy of GIS conversions between Northing/Eastings and Longitude/Latitudes. Most people ultimately want Quick Pole to consume and output coordinate information in a format that is consistent with Google Maps, Streetview, etc. All of these use Datum W...

It was brought to our attention that during IKE imports, span guys were being duplicated. This has now been corrected. We decided to change how "Unknown" anchors and guys were being handled. Previously it was thought that unknown types of anything should be verified by the Designer during ...

This is a maintenance release to deal with a couple of issues identified: 1) Span Profile settings for report generation under Tools->Options were not being saved. 2) Some pole attributes were being reset on project re-open. In addition to these, additional work has been made on the sqlite data impo...

This release includes some features that users have been requesting to make their work more efficient. 1) The Coordinates Editor now includes a column called "Connected to...", similar to the Structure Editor. It is also used as the main sort key for the table. What this means is that pole...

This update improves the ability of Quick Pole to solve poles near their stability point, that were previously solvable in version 6.74.12.

This update provides a correction to the wood pole data used for Western Red Cedar. The modulus of elasticity value was off by more than 10%, based on reputable sources. The value, as seen in the Segment Loadings report, should be 7720 MPa. We also corrected a glitch in the calculation of bending mo...

This update will allow unconnected Pole Braces to be shown in the Structure Editor window. There you can right-click on them and specify their height of attachment. This works in conjunction with the ability to change a Structure Type in the Coordinates Editor window and also with the CSV file impor...

Just a note to recognize that there were a few updates/patches to this version to get it correct. If you were one of the users impacted by this over the past week, we do sincerely apologize. We are looking into how this happened so that we can put in better software release controls; ideally prevent...

As most people know, Quick Pole has two options related to Load Nonlinearity associated with wire attachments. Both change the loads applied to the structure being evaluated, by monitoring the structure's deflections as the nonlinear iterations adjust the structure's deflection to find convergence. ...
