If you work with several Eplan versions (e.g., when switching to version 2027) and have in version 2027 an "older" parts database, you will be prompted upon opening parts management to update the parts database. If you answer this prompt with [Yes], the parts database is updated.
If you click [No], the parts database is not updated. In this case the parts database is opened, but it cannot be edited, only viewed. However, part or device selection is possible.
Notes:
- If you work with several Eplan versions, you must always use the latest Eplan version when editing and managing the parts database.
- New and updated old parts databases can be opened but not edited in the Eplan versions 2022 (as of Update3), 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. This allows you to select a part or device. In Eplan 2022 before Update3 an empty dialog is shown for a new or updated old parts database in the parts management.
- For Version 2022 the parts management has been changed to a different database technology. Parts databases of Version 2.9 (or older) can therefore no longer be updated in newer Eplan versions (2022, 2023, etc.). In order to import old parts data from Version 2.9 (or older) you can, for example, export the old parts data with an installed old Eplan version (Version 2.9 or older) and import them into the new Eplan Version 2027.
