SurvCADD CES Updates

Postby Randall McSwain - Carlson » Tue Apr 10, 2001 7:53 pm

New "Builds" of SurvCADD CES have been made 12-31-00, 2-06-01, 2-22-01
and
3-13-01
Here is a list of improvements and fixes found in these builds. Note
that
many of the problems addressed appeared for one build only (such as the
PC-PT item 8 solved 2-22-01). The March 13, 2001 build of SurvCADD is
the
most recent release and can be downloaded at http://update.carlsonsw.com
In the future, a text file of changes will be included with each build
that
is posted to the website.

Notes: In AutoCad 2000 .arx = .dll and .lsp = .fas
Some minor fixes are not listed here.


-----Updates 2-22-01 to 3-13-01-----

1. Fieldbook Conversion
Added support for a few more codes in the Fieldbook raw file conversion.
File: rawedit.arx

2. Layer Names With Spaces
In AutoCAD 2000, many routines were changed to allow layer names with
spaces.
Files: dtm1.lsp, makegrid.arx, surv1.lsp, etc

3. Title Block
This routine now handles twist screen.
File: title2.lsp

-----Updates 2-6-01 to 2-22-01-----

1. Map Check
The chord bearing reported for curves was using the tangent-in bearing
instead of the chord bearing.
File: scmc.lsp

2. Calculate Earthwork
In the Calculate Earthwork command in the Site menu, the program was not
adjusting the existing ground surface correctly for the topsoil
replacement
in fill.
File: volcalc.arx

3. Elevation Difference
Fixed a problem when comparing a grid file with an alpha-numeric CRD
file
that was not reading all the points from the CRD file.
File: cntr_grd.arx

4. MtnTop/Surface Mining
When weighting the strata qualities within a strata, the program weights
the
qualities by the strata volume instead of the strata area.
File: makegrid.arx

5. Geodimeter Conversion
When converting points from Geodimeter, the program no longer requires a
Z
coordinate to store a point. With no Z coordinate, the program will
assign
the Z value to zero.
File: cogoutil.arx

6. Polyline To Lot File
For polylines with arcs with delta angles slightly over 180 degrees, the
program was not setting the Large Arc flag in the lot file.
File: cogoutil.arx

7. Coordinate File Utilities
Fixed crash when you run Update CRD From Drawing with Point Protect on
and
you hit cancel when prompted whether to overwrite and then re-run Update
CRD
From Drawing with Point Protect off.
File: crdutil.arx


8. Field To Finish
Fixed problem from previous "build" with PT special code that was not
continuing polyline after PT code point when the code was set to 2D
Polyline
and the curve type was Bezier.
File: finish.arx

9. Annotation Reactors
With the Link Annotation with Linework option active, there was a
problem
that if the linework was a 3D polyline and you moved a vertice by grips,
then the updated distance label would use a 3D distance. This distance
was
fixed to always be 2D.
File: crdutil.arx

-----Updates 12-31-00 to 2-6-01-----

1. AutoCAD Map R3 Menus
Fixed a problem that with this version of AutoCAD where the SurvCADD
modules
did not load properly when switching between menus.
File: start14.mnl, sc14base.mnl

2. Interval Along Entity
Changed the routine to start the point interval from the picked end of
the
polyline instead of always starting from the direction that the polyline
was
drawn.
File: ptatint.lsp

3. Annotation Defaults
The Annotation Defaults will initially use the setting from Configure
SurvCADD instead of the "Standard" style set in Annotation Defaults.
File: scadenvr.dcl, ldef.lsp

4. StrataCalc Attributes
Increased the limit of the maximum number of strata attributes per
strata
from 25 to 55.
File: makegrid.arx

5. Area By Interior Point
Changed the routine to only process line, polyline, lwpolyline and arc
entities. All other entities such as point symbols will be filtered out
when
calculating the area.
File: scogo1.lsp

6. Draw-Locate Point
When using this command to create new points, changed the format of the
coordinates displayed in the command line from the AutoCAD standard (X Y
Z)
to N: , E: , Z:.
File: inspnt.lsp

7. Polyline To Special Line
For some linetypes, some of the resulting divided line segments had
different elevations. Fixed this to maintain a constant elevation for 2D
polylines.
File: cogoutil.arx

8. Offset 3D Polyline
Fixed a problem that offseting a 3D polyline that had a constant
elevation,
the polyline could be offset more than once vertically.
File: poly3d.arx

9. Leica GIF-10 Transfer
The transfer routine was missing a dialog for specifying the baud rate
and
COM port.
File: scadcogo.dcl

10. Edit-Process Raw File
Fixed a problem that the check for store coordinate records after
measurement records would sometimes display the warning dialog even when
there were no instances of this conflict.
File: rawedit.arx

11. Sokkia Raw Conversion
Now processes the set backsight azimuth record in the SDR raw file as
the
SetAzi field of the Carlson RW5 backsight record.
File: cogoutil.arx

12. MountainTop/Surface Mining
The Property Boundary option was interfering with the Store Results In
Pits
option. Changed the program to not allow both options to be on at the
same
time.
File: mtntop.lsp

13. Erase Points
There was an update that increased the speed of this routine a lot. This
change briefly introduced a problem that on alpha-numeric coordinate
files
to was possible lock up the computer. This was fixed.
File: crdutil.arx

14. Design Center Crash
In AutoCAD 2000i, there was a crash when using AutoCAD Design Center to
drag
and drop from the Design Center to the current drawing. This problem was
fixed by changing a filter in SurvCADD that checks the current active
command name.
File: scadutil.arx


-----Updates 12-11-00 to 12-31-00-----

1. Edit-Process Raw File
Changed the Least-Squares processing to handle direct-reverse
measurements
as reduced sets.
File: rawedit.arx

2. Nikon Raw Conversion
Added support for the conversion of decimal degree format in Nikon raw
files.
File: cogoutil.arx

3. Process Road Design
Now allows contouring of the road design when not using existing
sections.
In this case, just the road is contoured and not the cut/fill slopes
since
there are no slopes without existing ground to tie into.
File: eworks.arx

4. Locate Sewer Struture
Fixed the problem that this routine was returning an error at startup.
File: hydro1.lsp

5. Digitizer Tablet
Updated the digitizer tablet function pad to use the new SurvCADD CES
symbols and functions.
File: sc14base.mnu, sc15base.mnu

6. Legal Description
Restored the output option to Microsoft Word.
File: legaldes.dcl

7. Draw Lots From File
Added option to label the lot name.
File: defarea.lsp, cogoutil.arx
