1 Products contain route-specific differences.
2 The alignment length is restricted to 500 m / 2,000 m.
3 The right interfaces for the data types are also supplied.
The clear structure and intuitive, context-dependent user interface in combination with detailed help documentation allow you to use ProVI efficiently and productively after just a brief period of training.
System Requirements
- ProVI version 6.1 is available for AutoCAD, Civil3D and AutoCAD Map3D versions released in the period 2015–2020 and for BricsCAD 19 (from 19.2.03). Only the 64-bit versions are supported.
- Only 64-bit versions of Windows 10/8.1/8/7
- You can use either Microsoft Access or SQL Server (version 2008 R2 – 2016) as the database. If you decide to use Access databases, however, note that you must not have the 32-bit MS Office installation because otherwise you will not be able to install the required 64-bit database drivers. If required, the required database drivers can be installed by ProVI. This will be done free of charge.
- The hardware requirements depend on your CAD and database versions.
