As you move to PYTHA V26, please read
the following key points to help ensure a smooth and successful transition.
This article outlines known issues, best practices for working with files, how
to get updates, and how to provide feedback.
Save Your Work Wisely
When working between versions:
- Always start new projects in V26. Do not
continue work in V26, on a project that was started in V25 or earlier.
- If you open a V25 project in V26,
immediately save it as a new file and keep the original V25 version.
- Files saved in V26 cannot be reopened in
V25, so keeping both versions helps protect your work. This way you can always
re-open your V25 file in V25 if need be.
Dimensions
Please make sure your dimension layers
are turned ON before placing any dimensions. If you assign dimensions to a layer that is turned off, PYTHA V26 will shut down.
This issue has been reported and is being worked on.
Expect Some Differences
V26 is a significant update with a new
data structure, improved performance, and new features not available in earlier
versions. You may notice changes in how your data
behaves when opening old files.
- Some elements from previous versions may
not work the same way—or at all—in V26.
- Files created directly in V26 will
perform best.
- PYTHA will display a warning message in many instances, if
saving or opening an older data set that may result in data loss or compatibility
issues.
We’ll continue to provide updates on
compatibility as we learn more.

Change Takes Time
We understand that some changes in V26
may affect how you’re used to working.
- Some improvements are based on
development priorities and may not always suit every workflow.
- Your feedback is important—but please
note that major changes to functionality within a released version are unlikely
to be reversed.
That said, we do want to hear what works
(and what doesn’t), so please share your experience by creating a ticket and
telling us about it.
If you have any questions or need help
