VW 2016 SP upgrades

[HEengineering]

So I have noticed some small bugs when printing from VW 16 SP4.  Sometimes it doesn't print and you must repeat the publishing command.  Other times it crashes and closes out upon printing.  Im wondering will there be any additional SP's for 16?  

 

Now with the the new BIM object app available in 17 and not 16 one starts to get the impression that 16 was merely an interim solution since 17 was the big upgrade.  While 17 looks great, I suspect we will continue to work on 16 as we haven't had it that long.  Is 16 going to get any further attention? Or should we assume that 16 is left in the dust and is no further SP's will be offered?

2016 is due for at least one more sp, but no we do not normally add new features like BIMobject to older versions.

 

All the yearly versions are large upgrades however, but only the current version will get additional new features in any given year.

This is good to hear.

We still have a couple of VW2016 projects active. (We don't batch convert an active file unless a long time has passed or it was just in SD). 

My question is when the last VW2016 SP is released will that be posted in Announcements?

Yep, every SP we release from now on will be announced in announcements. Generally we never call them the "Last" SPs though, in case another emergency one needs to be released for some reason.
