A New Version of Bridge is now available for download
IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION - THIS IS THE LAST BRIDGE UPDATE WITH PERVASIVE SUPPORT.
In order to maximize the full integration benefits of SQL we are no longer able to maintain both Pervasive and SQL Estimating support. If you are running the Pervasive version of Sage Estimating, this will be the last Bridge version that will support Pervasive and also the last version to provide Parallel support for Pervasive AND SQL Estimating. If you intend to run Pervasive and Sage Estimating in parallel, you will need to remain on Sage 19.11 (or earlier) in order to maintain both Pervasive and SQL functionality.
We will continue to correct any program issues in this Pervasive version of Bridge, but all future Bridge enhancement work will be limited to Sage SQL Estimating. The next Bridge version will support Sage SQL 19.12 (and prior SQL versions) and is scheduled for release after mid-December.

If you are using Sage Pervasive Estimating, have created Mapping Histories in Bridge AND will be migrating your Pervasive Databases to SQL,
there is a document outlining how you may copy your Pervasive Bridge Mapping History to create new matching mappings for your migrated Sage SQL database.

The 2.19.12.552 release corrects several Bridge Program issues.
Dimension Trace Utility not updating Detail mappings
The Trace Utility wasn’t updating the mappings in the Bridge Manage Assignments Detail window, but instead MERGING them. It now properly Updates the mappings if changed in the Utility.
Dimension Trace Utility Auto Mapping preferences
When switching to a different Sage Database, the Trace Utility was not updating the Auto Mapping options in Preferences – It now refreshes the Auto Mapping preferences when changing Sage Databases.
The Dimension Hide Assigned Function not working
The Hide Assigned function was not working properly in some cases. A measurement could be displayed even though it was properly sent to Sage. No measurements were lost, this was a display issue only. The Hide Assigned now operates correctly.
Dimension Trace Utility - Metric abbreviations added
The Trace Utility now scans for the following metric abbreviations when automatically determining the Dimension Quantity:
m = Length
lm = Length
linm = Length
l.m = Length
m2 = Area
sqm = Area
msq = Area
sq.m = Area
sm = Area
Dimension Trace Utility Sort Sequence
Dimension Takeoff sorts the trace list in alphanumeric order. The utility now adds leading zeros to phases and Assembly groups where necessary to ensure the proper display sequence in Dimension
