ACDC Desktop 6.1

ACDC 6.1 continues to strengthen its role as a robust validation and configuration platform, with this release focused on improving data quality, configuration control, and drawing generation workflows. New compound attribute validation extends the ability to check complex asset rules, while enhanced spatial integrity checks help identify issues such as incorrect node-to-pipe interactions, invalid object types, missing projections, illegal polygons, and inconsistent attribution across shapefiles, object data, and generated blocks.

 

This release also introduces important improvements for administrators and configurators. Template files and supporting files can now be generated after configuration has occurred, Common Blocks can be managed through the ACDC configuration, and new settings provide greater control over standard versions, block attribute placement, drawing template management, and attribute display order. Updates to the ACDC Desktop Configurator, including block image support and improved menu generation, make configuration easier to review, manage, and maintain.

 

A wide range of fixes and refinements have also been included to improve reliability across validation, block handling, attributor files, menu layouts, shapefile processing, BricsCAD submissions, Oracle template refreshes, and DWG conversion workflows. Together, these enhancements make ACDC more stable, configurable, and effective in supporting enterprise spatial data validation and standardised asset submission processes.
