LoadPlanner CAD 2025
Version 6 based on .NET Framework 4.8 (as earlier version 5)
Note: For those who own the program, an updated service agreement is required when the current one expires in 2025
Currently the first price increase in 15 years is 10%. For those who have leased programs you are offered to get ownership of the number of programs you having, You could also consider the group license so no login is required and and unlimited installations inside your group. Let my know
This version have got a total overhaul, drivers updated so all will be compatible with .NET Framework 8 (once released)
This will give LPC a very long lifespan, according to Microsoft applications running on .NET 8 will have no end date
As LPC was started build in 2010, based on the structure of the old LP and
in the last 15 years Vectordraw's matrix as well skills to program the
matrix strongly improved, a long range of functions needed to be
updated.
You will find this version faster and extreme stable, include a range of new functions not mentioned below
Cargo handling functions
All moved into one dropdown menu, and can’t be found anywhere
else
Select Handling
Default Loading and moving, (cargo units) selected
All functions except the old pipes block (not updated)
relate to a loading
point or a loading area, in some functions also options to save to quay area
Each functions updated, with a long range of options, and
options to add dunnage except in Group Unit and Bulk
The manual updated, and recommend to read it
Earlier block of units only defined as 1 block with several
units inside
This have been changed so now able to handle numbers
of same block
TO = numbers of defined blocks to be loaded
LO = numbers of loaded blocks * numbers of units inside the block
As a lot working in blocks, the Undo unload last created
block(s) and restore units inside the blocks to its source units.
If blocks unloaded, it remains as blocks, and if need to restore
and delete blocks
Use Restore Blocks function on the Load List
Cargo reference in blocks
Blocks can contain several of units with difference cargo reference,
and reference calculated across blocks,
but not POL and POD expect to be the
same for all units in a block
New Pipes and Coils Calculations
Design module
2 new guides to create new stanchions added to UserCAD
Menu: Create Object > New 3D Plan Ship stanchion from Bitmap
or Matrix
A bulk carrier with 5 cargo holds, lot of narrowing, from a scanned
twisted bitmap drawing or a conventional tween decker, setting up dummy
container, tween deck, container grid, in less than 15 minutes
See the 2 Videos Create ship stanchion from CAD or bitmap drawing, howe to do
Others functions updated, a range of new functions,
Tweendeck setup Kitty modified
Stability setup, calculations and readout
Updated to handle IMO Intact Stability, 2008. Resolution MSC.267(85) and US Federal Regulations 46 CFR Subpart 170 and 174.015 for Pontoons, non self-propelled, unmanned and carrying only deck cargo
