Persistent Object Sets
Object sets can operate in two modes: temporary and persistent. In temporary mode, the content of the object set is only available in the current session and will be cleared when the window is closed.
The new persistent mode enables users to save and share object sets.
When the system starts and you want to add objects to an Object Set, simply use the Add to OS function. This will add the objects to a temporary set.
To manage and interact with Object Sets, use the Object Set Menu.
...
Here, you can use the following functions:
Saved Sets: View your top Object Sets. A user icon indicates whether the set is personal (created by you) or shared with you.
This list is limited, if you have a lot of object sets, use Manage Object Sets to view them all.
Manage Object Sets: Open the Object Set Manager for advanced options (see more details below).
Active Object Set: Displays the currently selected Object Set. From here, you can add more objects, or view and manage the selected set.
Reset: Revert from the current Object Set to a temporary Object Set.
New Object Set: Create a new saved (persistent) Object Set.
Adding objects to a temporary set (works the same way for saved object sets):

For more information on Object Set functionality, please refer to Object Set
...
Objects unavailable for current user
In some cases objects that are in the object set might be unavailable to the current user. This might be due to the security or versioning restrictions.
If such case occurs, a warning message is displayed that in current context the object set is incomplete:

Data Exchange changes
Asset+ Sync improvements
...
Now system sync can be initialized with selected strategy:
...
| Note |
|---|
Full Sync should only be run when the sync was not initialized before or when a configuration (e.g. domain mappings) have been altered. If new fields are added to the domain, standard sync will not pick up this change. A Full Sync is needed. |
Asset Sync Manager filtering
Sync manager grid view now includes a filter bar that allows you to filter our items on the list based on any set of criteria like: object class, GUID or local/remote date.
...
New parameters
New Asset+ parameters can be added to System Setting\Asset\Other tab:
exclude_expired_in_asset (true/false): if set to true the sync manager will exclude expired objects from Asset+ when synchronizing.
subtree_perspective_id: id of perspective used in subtree sync option (required if subtree option is added.
Enhanced Filtering Options in Import Log
...
All icons can be exported / imported with their corresponding names.
The icon package (a zip package) can be also prepared externally (manually or by other system).
...
The exported package will consists of exported icons (with orginal file names) a “manifest.xml” file with metadata of each icon file. This manifest can be used to import icons to other FMA db so the their names are used as well.
Match drawing/view scale tolerance
Match drawing/view scale Tolerance parameter has been introduced to System Setting/Print tab.
...
When using match drawing/view scale modes, there are cases where the resulting scale slightly exceeds one of the predefined standard scales. For example, if the target scale is 102, it won’t align with 100, leading to the selection of the 200 scale to avoid any truncation in the printout.
To resolve this, administrators can now set a Tolerance parameter (as a percentage). If the resulting scale falls within the tolerance range, the lower standard scale will be applied. For instance, if the resulting scale is 209 and the Scale Tolerance is set to 5%, the scale will be adjusted to 200 instead of 300 (assuming these are the available standard scales).
Please be cautious when setting the Tolerance value above 5%, as it may lead to truncated printouts. The purpose of this feature is to address specific cases where the scale is only slightly above the standard scale.
A recommended value, if needed, is 3%, but this can vary depending on the drawings and templates being used. The default value is set to 0 to ensure nothing is affected after upgrading to the new version.
Enhancements to the Diagnostic Tool "Objects with Multiple Spots"
A recent update to the diagnostic tool "Objects with Multiple Spots" diagnostic tool introduces a new feature. Users can now choose , allowing users to filter results based on spots either within a single document/layer or across multiple documents/layers.
This functionality is managed through a newly added checkbox.

controlled by a newly added checkbox, giving users greater flexibility in their analysis.

Point Cloud: Option to set Site ID
In some cases, locating Site based on coordinates alone does not give good results. This might be the case especially when multiple sites are in the same location.
Now an additional configuration can be set to indicate object class and field that stores Site ID.
Please set this in System Settings → Other → Point Cloud:
...
Requirements for Settings to work properly:
The Site Object Class will be searched for along the object's hierarchy path.
Example: For a path like Property → Building → Floor → Room, the system will select the building object from that hierarchy.If the object exists in multiple paths, the system cannot determine the correct one automatically.
The selected Site Object Field must be of type text (string) or number.
The Site ID must be a number or a string that can be converted to a number.
System Checks:
The system will verify if the necessary settings are present.
It will then check whether a parent object of the specified class exists.
Next, the system will confirm if the object has the specified field and valid data.
Finally, the system will scan Ivion for the provided Site ID. If the Site ID is valid, it will be used. If not, the system will attempt to find the site based on the object’s location.
New System Permissions
Some organizations need more precise control over system permissions. Previously, the "Access Basic Admin Operations" permission bundled many different admin tasks together, which sometimes resulted in giving too many permissions. This permission has now been replaced with more specific permissions, each covering a single task or responsibility.
| Tip |
|---|
It's generally recommended to create user groups and assign them to specific permissions, organizing them in a way that fits your organization's needs. Then, you can easily add or remove users from these groups as needed. This approach eliminates the need to assign permissions to individual users. Any changes made to the group will automatically apply to all users in that group, making updates more efficient and easier to manage. |
...
Here are the new permissions available under the Administrator group:
Administer Reports
Administer Dynamic Labels
Administer Grid Filters
Administer Quick Search
Administer Dictionaries
Administer Field Validators
Administer Icons
Administer Printing
Administer Map Data Sources
Administer Layouts
Administer Translations
Administer Presentations
Administer Global Layers
Administer Text Macros
| Info |
|---|
All users previously assigned to Administrator set will automatically inherit all new permissions. |
A user that has only one of these basic permissions, will see a limited administration menu:
