Improved OFML Functionality

pCon.planner 8.11 supports the new OAP (OFML Application Protocol) version 1.6 for a better processing and more concise display of your OFML data. In addition, the new pCon.planner does also support DSR 3.7.

Image Handling

Images file for material textures and images are cleaned up during import, enforcing the creation of OMATZ compliant images. This improvement prevents issues in the project exchange with other pCon applications and supports the robust creation of exports.

The improved image handling includes the conversion of non-regular images like JPEG images using CYMK colors or images with embedded color profiles into regular encoded images.

Please note: The original images are not preserved in such cases.
