Defect number Development area Description
EPM-3998 Estimating You can now import items from IFC files to the Estimating module with Galvanized, Unpainted, and Painted finish values.
EPM-4046 Estimating Previously when you imported items from an IFC file to an estimating job, re-importing an assembly that had been deleted from the estimating job caused an error. This has now been fixed.
EPM-4047 Estimating Previously, an error occurred when you imported items from IFC files into an existing estimating job, and items from a single assembly had been split and moved to other assemblies. This has now been fixed.
EPM-4053 Estimating Previously, if a paint system was set in an IFC file that you imported into the Estimating module, the finish of items was automatically set to painted regardless of the actual finish. This has now been fixed.
EPM-4123 Estimating Previously, weld thicknesses were sometimes imported incorrectly from an IFC file to the Estimating module because of rounding errors. This has now been fixed.
EPM-4036 Project management Previously, creating RFI reports sometimes failed if you used a comma (,) as the decimal separator in Tekla EPM. This has now been fixed.
EPM-3992 Production control Opening large production control jobs is now faster.
EPM-3993 Production control Running reports on large production control jobs is now faster.
EPM-3994 Production control There is a new option in the Production Control module that allows you to filter jobs before opening them. To enable doing so, select the Open to Filter Selection option in the Company Standards dialog box.
EPM-4029 Production control Previously, when you imported information from XML files to a production control job, drawing dates showed as changed in the import log if the date formats were different, even though the actual dates were the same. This has now been fixed.
EPM-4037 Production control Sequences are now read correctly when you import production control items from Advance Steel in the SMLX/XML format.
EPM-4105 Production control Previously, when you imported XML data from SDS/2 files to a production control job, a comment line could be incorrectly added as the main piece of an assembly if a piece mark within the assembly was different between the model and the bill of materials. This has now been fixed.
EPM-4115 Production control Importing XML files that contain the same GUID more than once now works properly in the Production Control module.
EPM-4119 Production control Previously, when you selected an accessory piece that had a different finish than the main piece, clicking the Piece Mark field changed the finish to match the finish of the main piece. This has now been fixed.
EPM-4129 Production control

When you import and IFC file to a production control job and a comment (CO) item as the main piece of an assembly, Tekla EPM now sets the finish of the assembly to match the first item in the assembly. Previously, the finish was set to match the default finish in the production control job.

EPM-3688 Purchasing Previously in requisitions and purchase orders, clicking the New button set the material grade to the default grade of the shape, even when the Grade input field was set to Carry Over: Yes in the Input Fields dialog box. This has now been fixed.
EPM-4076 Integrations Previously, when you imported nests from SigmaNest to Tekla EPM, plates were not tracked back to the right assemblies. This has now been fixed.
EPM-4122 Integrations Tekla EPM now works with the newest version of ProNest.
