    \n

    How do I check my version of the software, and how can I download the latest version?<\/h4>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n
    \n

    To find out which version you have, open the \u2018About\u2019 message box by selecting \u2018Help > About\u2019 from the main menu bar. The second line in the box shows the version number, e.g. 6.05.055.<\/p>\n

    The version numbers for JPA Designer work as follows:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Three digits, with a full stop (e.g. 5.55) which indicate the version of the program validated by BRE.<\/li>\n
    • A build number (e.g. Build 052), which indicates a small upgrade within the main release.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Check the version number of the latest release, this can be found under the \u2018Download Software\u2019 button in the top right of our page. If that is the same as that shown in in the \u2018About\u2019 box then you have the latest version. Otherwise you should consider downloading the newer version by clicking \u2018Download Software\u2019 on the top right of our website.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n

      \n

      Can I carry out RdSAP calculations using JPA Designer?<\/h4>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n
      \n

      No, JPA Designer is only intended for performing full SAP calculations, and cannot connect with the computer systems required for producing and lodging EPCs for existing dwellings. However, the program can be used to carry out building regulations compliance calculations for existing dwellings undergoing alteration or extension.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n

      \n

      How do I get our company logo to appear as a watermark on the SAP module print outs?<\/h4>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n
      \n

      To get a logo to appear as a watermark need to:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Save the logo file as a greyscale image with the name \u2018SAP_WM.BMP\u2019 and place it in the JPA Designer program directory (c:\\Program Files (x86)\\JPA\\JPA Designer). You can convert the file using \u2018Paint\u2019 supplied with Windows.<\/li>\n
      2. In the Project Manager window of JPA Designer, select Options from the menu bar.<\/li>\n
      3. In the General tab of the Options dialogue tick the Print SAP Watermark check box, then click OK.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Open a SAP calculation and select Print. The logo will appear centred on the page, behind the results.<\/p>\n

        You may need to experiment with the logo image to get an acceptable result.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/section>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
