When I import the .txt-file with coordinates in poinTools, there is a yes/no question about 3D-max coordinate format. What is the difference between chooseing yes or no? Also, there seems to be no...

Hi Torben, Can you confirm which version of Bentley Pointools you are currently using? We'd like to be able to reproduce this issue if we can and come up with a fix.

That message displays when Descartes is not loaded. How did you load Descartes in Aecosim? Was it installed on that product, or you attempted to load it manually? Pascal

There is no configuration that will delete the cache automatically on start up. You can configure the location of the cache file. Knowing this location you can simply find it in Windows Explorer...
