The following items discuss the most recent changes found in
this version of Eagle Point Software. Please note that the
following sections are organized alphabetically, by module,
starting with System level descriptions of VIP Enhancements,
General Enhancements and then bug fixes.
The following features have been added to Eagle Point Software:
- Landscape Design The Modify Plant Attributes
command has been modified to allow you to change the
plant symbol as well as the attributes of the plant.
- Drafting Curve Annotation. AutoCAD users only. You
may now use the unicode representation (\u+0394) for the
delta symbol when annotating along curves (curved text).
The font you are using must contain the desired symbol.
- Drafting Write Legal Description. The Captions and
Clauses command has been updated to allow carriage
returns within the text of the caption and clause. This
allows you to insert blank lines and start new paragraphs
within the caption and/or clause.
- System Plug-In. AutoCAD users only. The Modify
Properties command in AutoCAD will now work correctly
inside of Eagle Point.
- System Eagle Point Graphics Engine. Modifications
were made to the plugin to reduce the amount of System
Resources that were being taken when modifying an Eagle
Point entity (CAD move, copy, etc.). Additionally,
changes were made that also affect the System Resources
when selecting Eagle Point Nodes through the COGO module
(either to report or modify). Both of these changes
should improve the overall performance/stability of the
Eagle Point Graphics Engine.
- System Eagle Point Graphics Engine. The DDE error
message that appears when closing the Eagle Point
Graphics Engine with an external node database attached
has been resolved.
- System Delete. The Delete command will now
automatically highlight the project you had highlighted
in the Project Manager.
- System Node (Field Code) Library. The Field Code
layer and color will be disabled if the Use Place Using
Field Codes Layer and Color is not toggled on.
- System External Node Database. AutoCAD 14 users
only. ARX exception errors that occasionally appear while
attached to an external node database have been resolved.
- Advanced Irrigation Flow rates for full circle
heads are now calculated correctly when placed with the
Auto Head routine.
- Advanced Irrigation The Jump Pipe command has been
added to the Advanced Irrigation module. This command
allows you to show jump lines over the
intersection of two non-connected pipes.
- COGO General. Calculations have been corrected for
when you enter delta angles, degree of curvature, or a
turned angle for the following commands; Field Data
Traverse, Alignment Traverse, Boundary, Inscribe Curve,
Inscribe Reverse Curve and Draw Curve Tangent.
Previously, entering one of the parameters cited above
would result in the improper calculation of related
parameters.
- COGO Place by Station/Offset. Precision settings
for the Station only attribute are now being used when
you place a node using stationing from a CAD object.
- COGO Leader Attributes. The attributes text
justification "flip" to the right for a leader
drawn to the left side of the node and vice versa.
- COGO Report Nodes. Sorting nodes by alphanumeric
descriptions now works correctly.
- COGO Report Area. The Dialogs on Top setting is
now being recognized for this command.
- COGO Manage Lots. When you delete a lot from the
manager, the corresponding lot table annotation will
update.
- COGO Resolve Duplicate Nodes. Duplicate nodes are
now being resolved properly when using the "delete
node" options and selecting multiple instances of
duplicates. Previously, this would produce graphic/numeric
synchronization differences.
- Data Collection Reduce. The PD value will be
displayed when it is used in conjunction with the FE tag
in SDMS files. This only applies when there are no
designators in the FE field and you are not using the Use
Field Code as Line Name option.
- Drafting Line and Curve Tables. When you annotate
multiple curves and/or lines by number along a polyline/linestring
and erase one or more of the numbered labels, the
remaining labels are now properly displayed in the
annotation table.
- Drafting Node Table. The size of the node in the
Node Table has been modified to factor in the use of the
symbol multiplier from the Node Field Code Library.
- Drafting Write Legal Description. The concavity
direction of a curve now properly reports the concavity
based on the direction from the mid-point of the arc to
the radius point.
- Intersection Design Manage Intersections. If an
intersection falls completely inside a station equation,
the boundary stations are now calculated properly.
Previously, the boundary stations would not display at
the correct locations due to the station equations. This
change only affects new intersection designs.
- Intersection Design Modify Intersection Boundary
Stations. Error checking has been added to warn you if
you try to set your Pavement Control Lines beyond the
limits of your design stations.
- Intersection Design Pavement Control Lines. Error
checking has been added to provide for duplicate offsets
to have varying elevations. Previously, "vertical"
lines would only be represented by one of the offset
values.
- Irrigation Design The symbol size edit box in
Heads Configuration, now properly displays the size based
on the unit style selected.
- Irrigation Design You are now able to toggle back
and forth from the Every X Day option and the Days of the
Week option.
- Landscape Design Landscape symbols are now
correctly displayed when opening a pre 1.4.0 drawing that
was saved in paper space.
- Landscape Design Copied symbols are now able to
have their attributes modified with the Modify Attributes
command.
- Landscape Design The preview line drawn with the
Veg-Line command when using the pick point option is now
erased upon completion of the command.
- Landscape Design When locating symbols, the last
symbol style & type is retained when you return to
the symbol selection area.
- Landscape Design QTO numbers are now displayed in
the plant table if the plant was tagged with a number and
that option was selected for table output.
- Landscape Design A drafting tool bar has been
added to the Veg-Line command to assist in drafting of
the preliminary lines. It has a line, curve as well as a
close option. Lines drawn are polylines.
- Landscape Design When using the Veg-Line command
you will now be prompted to select a side when placing
arcs as a veg-line. Previously, the placement of the arcs
was dependent on the direction that the polyline was
drawn.
- Landscape Design Filter for existing / non
existing plants feature added in the plant table command
- Landscape Design The plant outline command has
been enhanced to recognized tick marks sized in plotted
units
- Landscape Design Removed question mark from the
label manager
- Landscape Design Enhanced the locate plant symbol
to include section view plant symbols, either by
graphical selection or specific size.
- Landscape Design Microstation users. Graphical
pick corrected in Locate plant.
- Profiles Construct Profile from Surface Model. The
dialog box options (Object Selection, Placement, etc.)
are now being saved and recalled correctly. Previously,
the placement option was defaulting to "Preview".
- Profiles Annotate Point/Grade Break. The option to
Overwrite with Active Attributes in Default CAD Settings
is now being used if it is toggled on for the line and
the arrowhead.
- RoadCalc Convert Objects to Alignment. You can now
modify the name of the Centerline alignment (by selecting
the Manage Alignments option) while converting objects to
an alignment. Previously, if you changed the Centerline
name to something else while converting objects, the
program would cause an error.
- RoadCalc Import Cross-Sections. Cross-section
shots with the exact same offsets will be adjusted by 0.002
unit increments to allow for all offsets to be imported.
- RoadCalc Import Cross-Sections. Changes were made
to various formats to allow for larger files (1000
stations or more) to be imported into cross-sections. The
affected formats are; RoadCalc.ITF, Station-Offset,
Alberta (all 3 formats), SDMS-XSE, Missouri HTD CEAL (both
formats), and HEC2.
- Sewers Calculation Details and Custom Reports.
Added Uniform Velocity Downstream and Uniform Velocity
Upstream to the custom report options. The junction
losses also report correctly on the report.
- Sewers Details. Junction losses are displaying
correctly now. When using the Approximate Loss Method for
a junction when the junction upstream or downstream is
using a different loss method, the junction losses had
previously been reported incorrectly.
- Site Analysis Corrected the Aspect calculations.
Now utilizes triangles.
- Site Design 3D Feature Editor. Using the "project
to constant offset first" option now correctly
orients the final catchslopes projections to the model.
- Site Design 3D Offsets. Modifications have been
made to the tolerance for the 3D Offset command. This
corrects problems when attempting to offset objects at
high coordinates (millions) and should prevent use
a smaller 3D offset distance warning from appearing.
- Site Planning A drafting tool bar has been added
to the Roads & Sidewalk command to assist in drafting
of the defining lines.
- Survey Adjustment Manage Files. The original
sequence of the traverse Node IDs from a Data Collection
file is now maintained and is no longer automatically
sorted in ascending order.
- Water Surface Profiling Export to HEC-RAS. The
calculation of the left and right overbank distances has
been updated to export cross-section alignments correctly.
- Watershed Modeling Edit Modified Puls. Stage
intervals of 0.1 or less may now be entered without
receiving an erroneous error message. This is also true
for the Storage Indication command.
The following items discuss the most recent changes found in
this version of Eagle Point Software:
Numerous commands in various modules that perform
modifications on nodes have been changed so that any previous
modification will be retained. Instead of erasing and replacing a
node during one of these modifications, the node will be modified
directly resulting in faster operation and no loss of previous
edits (i.e. Resize Nodes). This change also affects native CAD
commands such as MOVE, ALIGN, SCALE, ROTATE, grip editing,
previous selection sets, grouping and spell check so that they no
longer lose previous edits. Additionally, the Data Collection
Erase on Re-reduce option maintains its link to nodes even after
modifications are performed and using the Additional Symbol
option on a Field Code no longer places another additional symbol
when performing modifications.
External Node Databases are now being saved in Access .mdb
files (Access 97). Point Protection is also now available so that
Node IDs are no longer automatically overwritten when additional
Nodes with the same ID are placed in the database. With the 1.4.0
version, all existing, linked External Node Databases will be
automatically converted when the project is opened. Additionally,
any previous version databases not linked when the project is
opened will be converted when the Link button is used on the
External Node Database dialog box. It is important that all
machines that utilize the External Node Database feature get
updated to the 1.4.0 revision level.
*** If you are applying the 1.4.0 patch, it is important that
you download the prototype database file from the FTP site (ftp://ftp2.eaglepoint.com/Patches/Civil/Egpt/Year2001/End/ProtoEND.mdb)
and place the file into your Eagle Point \SUPPORT folder. This
prototype contains an example query and report as well as a
dialog box interface that allows you to add/edit nodes into the
database. The CD installations of the 2001 1.4.0 release will
deliver this prototype.
*** Since this implementation of the External Node Database
utilizes the Microsoft® Access 97 version
of the .mdb database, users who have newer versions of Access
should click here for
additional information. It is also important to note you do not
need to have Access (any version) installed on your system to
utilize the External Node Database feature.
*** Known Issues with External Node Databases.
The Export List command on the Browse Database dialog box
currently writes out a .mdb file that is not of the same table
format and therefore an exported file cannot be linked to
directly through the External Node Database command.
Eagle Point Graphics Engine/IntelliCAD users may receive a non-destructive
DDE error message upon shutting the CAD system down when linked
to an External Node Database.
- System SDMS
Editor. A new editor is provided for the Data Collection
- Edit Formatted File, COGO - Edit Batch File and Survey
Adjustment - Edit Adjustment File commands that is based
on a Windows spreadsheet-like control. Search and
Replace, Global Editing, Undo/Redo capabilities and a
Find Data Collection Reduction Errors command are among
the improved features found in the user interface. The
editor is now also modeless to Eagle Point meaning you
are able to keep the active file open in the editor while
using other CAD and Eagle Point commands. For additional
information refer to the on-line help provided in the
Editor.
- System AutoCAD Map 5 is now
a supported CAD engine. Since the AutoCAD Map 5 release
overwrites your current 2000/2000i installation,
installing the patch is the only step that needs to be
performed. AutoCAD 14 users upgrading to AutoCAD Map 5
only need to run the Configure CAD Engine command from
the Eagle Point Administrator program and "point"
to the AutoCAD Map 5 acad.exe file. Then add an
Eagle_Point_98 profile that includes the path to your
Eagle Point \Images folder. The 2001 1.4.0 CDs also
contain a choice for AutoCAD Map 5 as a supported CAD
engine during installation.
- System Field Code Library.
Additional Symbol options can now be printed. Additional
Symbol items that can be toggled on in the printout
include the Symbol, Multiplier, Layer/Level and Color.
- COGO Modify
Nodes. This command has been added to the Nodes menu and
includes the ability to edit the attributes or symbol of
a selection set of nodes. Using the standard selection
methods you are able to build your selection set by Range
of Node IDs, Elevation Range, CAD, Description, Block/Cell,
Field Code or X-Y proximity. After selecting the Nodes,
you are able to change CAD properties such as layer/level,
color, text style/font, text size and rotation as well as
attribute displacement from the symbol and the block/cell
name itself. You are also able to perform modifications
on multiple attributes at one time by selecting them
using a left button mouse click in conjunction with Ctrl
or Shift keys.
- COGO Inverse
Object. The Tangent In direction and Tangent Out
direction have been added to the curve report.
- COGO Construct
Through Nodes. A fourth construction method has been
added to the Line Type droplist called Complex 2D at 0
elevation. This option allows you to force the elevation
of the constructed line/arc to an elevation of zero,
regardless of the elevation of the first node/point
selected. The resulting line will be drawn as a polyline/complex
chain at zero elevation.
- Data Collection SMi Collector Download/Upload. New Collector
formats have been added to the Download from Collector
and Upload to Collector commands to provide direct
communication with SMi collectors (for raw and coordinate
file formats). New formats include SMi-Coordinate, SMi-SDMS
and SMi-SDR2x on download and the SMi-Coordinate format
on Upload. To utilize these new formats be sure to toggle
off the Custom Translator option. Leave the Custom
Translator option on if you prefer using the SMi Transfer
program. Additionally, the Import ASCII File command
includes the same three formats available on download.
- Data Collection TDS collector Download/Upload. New Collector
formats have been added to the Download from Collector
and Upload to Collector commands to provide direct
communication with TDS collectors (for raw and coordinate
file formats). New formats include TDS-Coordinate and TDS-Raw
on download and the TDS-Coordinate format on Upload.
These formats replace the use of the DOS Kermit
application and allow for direct upload from a project.
Additionally, the Import ASCII File command includes the
same two formats available on download.
- Drafting/Site Design The Change Elevation command now supports
selecting Nodes.
- Profiles Various
commands. Changes were made to save the input parameters
and options on many commands as defaults for the next
time the command is executed. Some commands modified
include; Draw Pipes, Draw Pipes Structure to Structure,
Draw Pipe End, Draw Headwall/Wingwall/Flared End Section,
Annotate Point/Grade Break, Annotate Profile and Annotate
Inlet/Manhole.
- RoadCalc™ Edit Profile
Settings. An option has been added to this dialog box to
specify whether or not Original Ground Profiles should be
drawn every time the profile graphic is viewed.
- RoadCalc™ Edit Cross-Section
Data. This command has been updated to remember the last
station highlighted, Slope Type specified and the current
Surface. The current shot highlighted in the shotlist
also defaults to highlight the zero offset (or closest
offset). Additionally, the Query Cross-Section dialog
query arrow remains on the same offset from station to
station allowing you to quickly query the same point
elevation without needing to move the query arrow. The
Pin Slope command also now remembers the last settings
specified.
- System Node Field Code Library.
Microstation users only. When placing a node using the
Symbol Only option, the level is now used correctly when
reporting or modifying a node.
- System Node Field Code Library.
Users who have a Node Field Code Library that is used in
both AutoCAD/Eagle Point Graphics Engine and Microstation
will no longer receive error messages when accessing the
Node Field Code Library. Previously corrupted libraries
are attempted to be fixed.
- System Rename Project/Sub-project.
You can now rename a sub-project changing only the case
of the name. Previously, you were warned that a duplicate
sub-project name existed.
- Administrator Project Conversion.
Converted Storm and Sanitary Sewer sub-projects are now
automatically added to the Utility Manager.
- COGO Node Selection dialog boxes.
Changes were made to better handle System Resources (memory)
when running commands that select nodes multiple times.
- Data Collection Import ASCII File/Download
from Collector. Additional error checking has been added
to prevent the 101st job from being added. Previously,
adding more than 100 jobs corrupted the file list.
- Data Collection Manage Jobs. The
listing now accurately reflects whether the Instrument
File has been edited or not.
- Data Collection Reduce. Wild format
files that use the FE: data tag to call out Field Codes (rather
than a PD:) will reduce properly when the Use Field Code
as Line Name is toggled OFF and when the FE: does not
contain any linework designators.
- Data Transfer - Export SDMS/CAiCE Road
Data. The L1 and L2 vertical curve lengths for profiles
are now written properly when a symmetric curve is
encountered.
- Drafting Annotate Lines. A higher
tolerance is now used to determine bearings when the line
is drawn very close to North-South or East-West.
Previously, under certain circumstances, it was possible
to see negative bearings when the line was nearly on the
zero bearing of a quadrant.
- Drafting Annotate Station/Offset.
The partial stationing option now annotates the station
value correctly when using the Station Only option.
- Drafting Write Legal Description.
Changes were made to the Commence and Begin dialog boxes
so that the tab order and flow of the command is improved
when switching between Node and Point input and Lines and
Curves.
- Profiles Draw Pipe Structure to
Structure. The pipe annotation and calculated grade on
the dialog box are now calculated correctly when changing
the Length Option and Grade Option droplists.
- Profiles Annotate Vertical Curve/Query
Vertical Curve. These commands now support RoadCalc
profiles that have been generated using the Parallel
Original Ground option.
- RoadCalc™ Manage Utilities.
AutoCAD users only. The CAD Color setting now properly
distinguishes the 'BLAYER' and 'BYBLOCK' settings.
- RoadCalc™ Edit Profile Data.
Using the Parallel Original Ground option for the entire
length of a design profile will no longer produce
vertical lines at the BOP and EOP stations.
- RoadCalc™ Convert Objects to
Profile. A change was made to this command to correct the
conversion process of certain types of drawn profiles (generally
those from cross-section or extracted from a surface
model). Previously, profiles that had multiple,
consecutive segments of the same length were not properly
converted.
- RoadCalc™ Manage Typical
Sections. Additional error checking has been added to
prohibit commas in typical section names.
- RoadCalc™ Cross-section
Sheets. The Delete Cross-section Format command has been
modified so that the correct format is removed.
- RoadCalc™ Volume Reports. The
Mass Ordinate is now reported correctly when more than
one original ground surface is toggled off. Total Volumes
have been updated as well.
- Sewers Minimum Depth of Cover
Calculation. When designing pipes and setting to violate
slopes first, the minimum depth of cover was not always
obeyed once an upstream pipe had violated the depth of
cover. This problem is now resolved.
- Site Design Interpolate Additional
Geometry. Attempting to interpolate additional geometry
along an arc over 180 degrees no longer causes Site
Design to 'freeze'.
- Site Design Project Slopes to
Catchline. The varying elevation of the catchline object
is now used when projecting slopes. Likewise if a slope
value is specified, the projection lines are no longer at
constant elevation.
- All Landscaping modules. Updated edit controls to better
handle error checking, allow for drag-n-drop, and allow
cut & paste.
- Advanced Irrigation Edit
Pipe. Update prompt to include select end point of pipe
closest to valve.
- Advanced Irrigation Edit
Pipe. Added an icon to dynamically switch surface models.
The pipe will automatically reference the new surface
model and recalculate pressure gain/loss.
- Advanced Irrigation Head
Configuration. Added a droplist so the POC can be
selected quickly.
- Advanced Irrigation Head
Configuration. If offset is set to 0%, you may now snap
lateral pipes to heads by running the pipe over several
heads in a row without running pipe exactly through the
middle of the heads.
- Advanced Irrigation Locate
Plant. Updated Decimal Feet & metric project to
display only 2 places of precision.
- Base Plan Contour Line &
Change Contour Elevation. When labeling contours in
architectural units are now displayed correctly.
- Base Plan Find angles
between lines. Reports accurate results.
- Base Plan Isolate layer
command. You are now unable to select a locked layer.
- Base Plan Spot elevation.
Tab order fixed.
- Irrigation Design Modify Head. The
Correct flow rate is now displayed when the head is
modified.
- Landscape Design Edit - Move and
Rotate. No longer makes a copy of the original object.
- Landscape Design Insert Plants.
Plants now display correctly when inserted using
Microstation.
- Landscape Design Label Plants (Manager).
The copy command displays the correct name automatically.
- Landscape Design Modify Plant
Attributes. Now allows you to modify QTO data accurately.
- Landscape Design Audit command. The
audit command has been removed, all audits are done
automatically.
- Landscape Design Plant outline.
Line width settings are now being recognized from the CAD
settings.
- Quantity Take Off Print
setup or Export setup. The OK button becomes active when
the header information is changed.
- Site Planning Circulation/Roads
& Sidewalks. Added easy to use drafting tool bar to
assist in drafting straight and curved lines.
- Site Planning Tools - Edit -
Reverse Polyline. This command is now enabled.
- Plant Database. Updated to prevent duplicate planting
sizes for the same scientific name.
The following items discuss the most recent changes found in
this version of Eagle Point Software:
The following features have been added to Eagle Point Software:
- Data Transfer Export SDMS/CAiCE.
A new command has been added to the Transfer menu that
allows you to export alignment, cross-section, profile
and superelevation data in CAiCE file formats.
- RoadCalc - Edit Profile Data. The Raise/Lower profile
command has been added to this dialog box to provide a
means by which you can globally raise or lower all VPI
elevations. Enter a relative elevation difference (positive
or negative) and this command will modify the elevation
of every VPI for the current profile. Curve data is
maintained and the profile graphic is redrawn according
to the new data.
- Site Design/Surface Modeling
Calculate Grade and Distance. A new toggle has been added
to allow you to report the grade and distance between two
points by retrieving the elevation information from the
CAD object instead of from a surface model. Toggle on the
'Inherit Elevation from CAD' option prior to selecting a
node or point in CAD to obtain the elevation from the
object/point picked. Additionally, the grade and distance
are automatically calculated upon returning to the dialog
box. The Apply button only needs to be used when typing
Node IDs or coordinates.
- Watershed Modeling Detention Time.
A Detention Time Method option has been added to the Edit
Reservoir Routing - Storage Indication and Edit Reservoir
Routing - Modified Puls dialog boxes so you can calculate
the detention time in the reservoir routing. The
Detention Time Method droplist lets you choose between
two methods of calculating the detention time; Plug Flow
and Centroid to Centroid. If the Detention Time Method
toggle is on, the detention time will be computed and
displayed in the Reservoir Routing - Storage Indication
Results dialog box or in the Reservoir Routing - Modified
Puls Results dialog box. In addition to being displayed
on the Results dialog box, the Detention Time is
displayed in the Hydrograph Information section of the
Flood Hydrograph report for Storage Indication and
Modified Puls hydrographs.
- System AutoCAD 2002 is now a
supported CAD engine. Since the AutoCAD 2002 release
overwrites your current 2000/2000i installation,
installing the patch is the only step that needs to be
performed. AutoCAD 14 users upgrading to AutoCAD 2002
only need to run the Configure CAD Engine command from
the Eagle Point Administrator program and "point"
to the AutoCAD 2002 acad.exe file. Then add an
Eagle_Point_98 profile which includes the path to your
Eagle Point \Images folder. The 2001 1.4.0 CDs (due out
this October) will also contain a choice for AutoCAD 2002
as a supported CAD engine during installation. Due to the
late availability of AutoCAD Map 5, full compatibility
testing has not been completed. However, the foundation
of Map 5 is based on AutoCAD 2002 and we anticipate Map 5
compatibility with the 1.3.2 release.
- COGO Edit Batch File. Batch
processing now includes an option to re-compute the batch
file based on angles from a backsight. If you change the
angle of one traverse leg, from that point forward all
side shots and/or traverse legs update based on the
turned angle. When the Re-compute BS option is toggled
ON, any turned angles in the batch file will be computed
using the previously occupied station as the backsight.
All coordinates used to calculate a direction from a
backsight are ignored except for the initial starting
coordinates of the traverse. When this option is toggled
OFF, any turned angles in the batch file will be computed
using the coordinate values (XC, XX, YC, and YY data tag
values) in the file. Any changes to a horizontal angle (HZ
data tag) will only affect the immediate shot changed and
will not carry through to the next set-ups. If at any
point during the traverse you have entered a backsight
direction from a point other than the one previously
occupied (excluding the initial set-up backsight
direction), you must toggle this option OFF.
- Data Transfer Import LandXML. You
now have the ability to add RoadCalc cross-section
surface names to the specified sub-project from within
the Cross-section Surface Data dialog box. Select the
Manage Surfaces icon to add Original, Design or Actual
surfaces to the specified sub-project.
- Data Transfer Export LandXML. When
exporting Road data, you may now export the "topmost"
design surface by selecting the Merged Design surface on
the Select Surfaces dialog box.
- Profiles - Draw Inlet/Manhole/Custom
Structure. These commands have been modified to allow you
to specify a prefix or suffix and have the Structure ID
automatically incremented. A toggle was also added that
allows you to continue picking structure locations in CAD
and have them automatically placed upon the selection.
Toggle on the 'Place Structure on PIC' option to continue
picking locations in CAD and have the structures placed
with the current parameters. Additionally, the PIC button
is always enabled allowing you to pick the rim station/elevation
from within any edit control.
- Site Design Analyze Slopes. This
command has been significantly sped up.
- Site Design Make Intermediate and
Index Depth Contours. This command has been significantly
sped up. Problems were noticed most frequently when
running this command in projects located on a network.
- Site Design Place Grid Depth Stakes.
This command has been significantly sped up. Problems
were noticed most frequently when running this command in
projects located on a network.
- Watershed Modeling Print
Hydrographs. A new toggle for Including Unit Hydrograph
Time vs. Flow results has been added under the Summary
Results and Input Parameters. Previously, Time vs. Flow
data for the input unit hydrograph was always printed
when Input Parameters was toggled on. With this new
toggle, you can eliminate the extra Time vs. Flow data.
Additionally, leading and trailing "zero" flows
are removed from the Time vs. Flow tables for all
hydrograph printouts.
- Administrator Convert Previous
Projects. RoadCalc™ cross-section sheet height and
width settings are now converted correctly.
- Administrator Convert Previous
Projects. Water Surface Profiling prototypes are now
available in the droplist when converting old projects.
- System Eagle Point Graphics Engine.
The letter "E" can now be used as a rotation
angle in the "DTEXT" command.
- System Eagle Point Graphics Engine.
The Graphics Engine will now read paper size and pen
widths in the correct units in drawing files from Pro
Surveyor Plus and attached PCP files.
- System Node Field Code Library.
Spaces entered when copying a field code library will be
removed for the name of the file just as in the New,
Modify and Import commands.
- System Node Field Code Library.
AutoCAD 14 users only. When Place Using Field Codes
Layer and Color is toggled off, nodes will now be placed
with the Bylayer property.
- System Node Field Code Library. A
problem in the project settings file that caused the
wrong field code library to be active was resolved.
- System External Node Database. COGO
Match Nodes can now be run on a node that is locked in
both the CAD graphic and an external node database will
now place a new node and leave the locked node as is.
- System External Node Database. COGO
Field Data Traverse can now use a node that is locked in
both the CAD graphic and an external node database as an
Occupied Node ID.
- System External Node Database.
Intermittent problems with locked nodes in the database
and graphic not being obeyed have been resolved.
- System Update Node Information.
Nodes can now be selected by Field Code to synchronize an
external node database and CAD graphic.
- COGO Place Node Along Object.
AutoCAD users only. The Distance method can now be used
to place a node on an object at an elevation specified in
the elevation field.
- COGO Match Nodes. A warning dialog
box now displays when running the Match Nodes command on
locked nodes in an external node database.
- COGO Swivel Nodes. Swiveling nodes
with an Absolute Rotation Angle is no longer affected by
the Rotate View Orientation angle.
- COGO Translate-Rotate-Scale. This
command now replaces nodes whose field codes are not
contained in the current field code library with the same
field code instead of with a field code from the current
library.
- COGO Translate-Rotate-Scale.
MicroStation users only. If the node or object selection
process includes symbols that are not found in the active
cell library, Eagle Point now detects this problem
immediately after creating the selection set instead of
after the translation, rotation and scaling parameters
are entered.
- COGO Direction-Direction Intersect.
MicroStation users only. Temporary direction lines whose
ends are not within the design cube now display the
correct direction in the dialog box.
- COGO Inverse Points. Graphically
selecting a node for the Start of Line and then picking a
coordinate point for the End of Line (using a
perpendicular snap to a line) no longer causes a false
Duplicate Line Points Instance.
- COGO Station/Offset Report. The
report now shows N/A in the symbol column when the nodes
field code is not in the current field code library.
- Data Collection Reduce. When
collecting a set of angles using the BS-FS-FS-BS
procedure, the last backsight in the set is now
considered when computing the location of the second
foresight record within the set.
- Data Collection Reduce. False
warnings that lines only contain one point no longer
display when a series of shots are contained on more than
one line and double designators are used.
- Data Collection Reduce.
MicroStation users only. Corrections were made to prevent
MDL aborts in files with duplicate point numbers and
linework referencing them.
- Data Collection Reduce.
MicroStation users only. Checks were added to determine
whether CAD objects are linked to Eagle Point data to
prevent MDL aborts in seed files other than the default
seed file.

on Use Station Range will no longer cause pavement
volumes to appear at the first station in the range and
show the incorrect ending station.
- RoadCalc™ Volumes. Having
original and actual surfaces but no design surfaces will
no longer cause the volumes command to crash.
- RoadCalc™ Cross-Section
Staking. The Station range option can now be used when
BOP station is a value other than zero.

the loss of typical section segments on the final design
cross-sections when design surface breakpoints do not
align vertically. This problem is now resolved.
- RoadCalc Associate
Alignments and Profiles. Special alignment control types
of Slope and Elevation had been accidentally switched.
Setting the control type to Slope made the typical
section control point maintain its elevation and vice
versa. This problem is now resolved.
The following items discuss the most recent changes found in
this version of Eagle Point Software:
The following features have been added to Eagle Point Software:
- COGO Manage Lots. The Manage
Lots command has been added to the Layout menu to provide
a way to add, modify, or delete lots as well as generate
lot reports and mapcheck reports. The Delete Lot option
allows you to remove a lot from the database and drawing
without having to delete it from CAD. The Show Lot option
helps you identify where the selected lot(s) are located
in CAD by highlighting the lot geometry.
- Data Transfer Import/Export
LandXML. The two new commands have been added to the
Transfer menu in Data Transfer to support the
transferring of project data between projects or other
software packages utilizing the LandXML file format.
Objects that can be imported/exported via a LandXML file
include COGO Alignments (horizontal geometry), Lots/Parcels,
Nodes, Surface Models and RoadCalc data (alignments and
associated original, design and actual cross-section
surfaces, original ground profiles and design profiles).
The LandXML file also contains the unit setting for the
objects and can therefore also act as a way to convert
data from English to Metric units (or vice versa). You
can establish a file hierarchy to group certain types of
data together. For example, create separate Surface Model
groups to distinguish existing vs. proposed models or
separate Node groups to isolate surveyed vs. design
stakeout data.
- Profiles Modify Structure.
The Modify Structure command has been added to the Draw
menu in the Profiles module. This command allows you to
modify the properties of previously placed Inlets,
Manholes and Custom Structures. Items that can be
modified include the Structure ID, Station location, Rim
Elevation, Invert Elevations, Width and Sump Depth. If
the structure has been annotated, the annotation will
dynamically update to reflect the new parameters.
Additionally, if a pipe had been drawn to the structure
and annotated it will update accordingly.
- RoadCalc Create Surface
Model from Road. This command has been added to the
Output menu to allow you to have a surface model made
from your RoadCalc design without having to import any 3-D
geometry. By default, the topmost, merged design surface
(catchpoint to catchpoint) will be used as the data to
create the surface model from. You could optionally
choose to model just the subgrade surface. You can create
the surface model for the entire sub-project or for just
a certain station range. A boundary is automatically
calculated around the catchlines and is used to limit the
triangulation. You can also merge additional models into
your final road model. Specify other design models (other
roads or intersection models) and the order they should
be merged into the road to produce a single, composite
surface model. The Place Road Boundary option will place
a 2-D boundary of the road design into CAD so that you
can manipulate it and use it as a user-defined boundary
for the merging process.
- Profiles The Draw Pipe
Structure to Structure command now automatically erases
the previous pipe, pipe annotation, and structure
annotation and replaces it with the updated values.
- Sewers - Pipe slope entry. An option has been added to
the Network Settings - Profile tab dialog box that
controls how slope values are interpreted when entered
via the Set Inverts by Slope and Edit Pipes commands.
Specify Inside to Inside to enter slopes based on the
invert elevations and the length of the pipe measured
between the outside edge of each structure. Specify
Center-Center to enter slopes based on the invert
elevations and the length of the pipe measured to the
middle of each structure.
- Sewers Custom Reports. Reports can
now be printed from a high pipe number to a low pipe
number.
- Surface Modeling The
Triangulate Surface Model from Contours command has been
significantly sped up when selecting large numbers of
contours to triangulate. MicroStation users should
additionally see a speed increase during the fence
selection process of this command as well as the
Triangulate Surface Model command.
- System - Eagle Point Graphics Engine.
Project drawing paths can now use the Universal Naming
Convention (UNC).
- System Commands outside of
the COGO module that build Node selection sets have been
sped up. This affects the following commands: Data
Collection Uploading and Reporting, Data Transfer Export
Data and Export LandXML, RoadCalc Inherit Elevation from
Design and Drafting Coordinate Table.
- RoadCalc™ - Construct Typical
Section. The capability to assign a PT Code to a
subsurface at the Centerline has been added. PT Code 1 is
no longer assigned to all sub-surfaces which allows you
query/annotate the 0 offset point on any surface using a
unique PT Code.
- RoadCalc™ - Volumes. Raw undercut
volumes are now included as a separate value in the
volume report.
- Water Surface Profiling The
Import from HEC-RAS command has been modified to support

- System Node (Field Code) Library.
The Import Field Code Library command can now import
ASCII file field code libraries with a quotation mark in
a field code description. Previously, the quotation marks
were used to wrap descriptions that contained commas. You
now must use { } braces to surround a description field
that contains commas in order to properly import from an
ASCII file.
- System Update Node Information.
This command now correctly works when the following
settings are specified; link an External Node Database in
a folder other than the one in which the project is
located, with setting the current drawing to use its own
database, and reading nodes from the database only and
writing nodes to the graphic only.
- System Default CAD Settings.

were not interpreted correctly.
- Data Collection Upload to Collector.
The list of supported collectors was re-indexed to ensure
that the proper communications were used for the
specified collector. Previously, the saved collector type
would change upon re-opening Data Collection.
- Data Collection Upload to Collector.
When uploading to a Sokkia SDR33 Collector, the
atmospheric correction setting is no longer automatically
enabled. Also, when uploading to a Sokkia SDR2X
Collector, an additional space has been added between the
time stamp and job parameters so that the job parameters
fall in the correct character position.

- COGO - Command Line COGO. The Traverse Curve command has
been updated to allow you to enter a non-tangent curve.
The Radius Direction input field has been modified so
that you can optionally enter the chord direction after
specifying the radius or degree of curvature. The radius
or degree of curvature entry options remain the same,
however, you can now specify a chord direction by
entering a forward slash '/' and the absolute direction
immediately following the radius/degree of curvature. The
available direction methods include bearings and azimuths
with the keyboard and numeric entry methods as specified
in the Horizontal Direction input field (i.e. sw, na, 2*,
etc.). For example, enter "-1000/3*12.3409" in
the Radius Direction input field to draw an arc with a
radius of 1000 units (feet or meters), deflected to the
left with a chord direction of 12 degrees, 34 minutes, 9
seconds southwest.
- COGO - Place Node by Station/Offset. The Multiple option
has been added that allows you to place multiple nodes
over a station range by specifying a station interval or
distance along interval. The offset at which the nodes
are placed can either be constant or can vary by
following a CAD object. When using the Follow CAD Object
option, the nodes are placed along the selected object at
the intersections of a perpendicular projection from each
of the station locations specified along the alignment.
You also specify the starting Node ID, Elevation, Field
Code, and Description for the nodes. If the Inherit
Elevation option is set in the COGO Entry Options - Node
Placement, the node is placed at the active elevation in
CAD when specifying a Constant Offset or at the elevation
of the selected object when using the Follow CAD Object
option.
- RoadCalc - Station and Coordinates. The Additional
Constant Offsets button allows you to enter constant
horizontal and vertical offset values that are added to
the calculated offsets and elevations. By default, the
optional offset values are zero, which means the
calculated offsets, coordinates and elevations are based
on the selected alignment and profile. Enter positive or
negative offset values to "move" the offsets,
coordinates and elevations from their original coordinate
locations. Additionally, a Draw Object button exists to
place a 3-D polyline/linestring into CAD using the
Northing, Easting and Elevation values in the current
Station and Coordinate list. You can choose to place the
entire object or through a specific station range. A 2-D
polyline/linestring can also be placed by selecting the
Place at Elevation Zero option.
- Eagle Point Administrator Convert
Previous Projects. When converting projects from previous
versions you are prompted to select a Project Prototype
as well as what Node Field Code library you wish the
converted project to use. The prototype is used for items/settings
that previous versions did not have. If the project
contains sub-projects, you will also be prompted to
select which Sub-project Prototype to use as a basis for
the converted sub-project.
- System The Preview Objects
dialog box (Data Collection Preview Reduction, Preview
Contours, etc.) can now be re-sized and the last size and
position of the dialog box is remembered per user. Drag
the right or bottom edges or the lower right corner of
the dialog box to re-size it. Additionally, Preview
dialog boxes that show nodes (Preview Reduction and
Preview Batch File) now display the Node ID, Description
and Elevation values next to a '+' (plus) symbol (rather
than the former empty text boxes).
- COGO Place Node. The PIC
button has been enabled at all times while navigating the
dialog box. No matter what edit control has focus,
selecting the PIC button will prompt you to pick the node
location in CAD. Previously, focus had to be placed into
the Northing or Easting edit fields before the PIC button
enabled.
- COGO Place Node by Station/Offset.
The PIC button has been enabled at all times while
navigating the dialog box and has been modified to allow
the graphically selection of the desired station and
offset point in CAD. When focus is in any edit control (except
the Offset field), selecting the PIC button will prompt
you to pick the node location in CAD. Upon selecting the
point, the Station and Offset values are placed into the
corresponding edit fields. If focus is in the Offset edit
field, the PIC functionality remains how it previous
worked by prompting you to select an object to use its
horizontal distance as the offset.
- Profiles Construct Grid. A
new item has been added to the Annotation Settings
Precision to control the datum elevation precision. The
grid stationing has been changed so that it now uses
Interval Station precision set in Annotation Settings.
Additionally, the text placement of the datum elevations
and stationing has been updated to make the labels more
readable.
- RoadCalc Edit Cross-Sections.
The Modify command has been enabled when multiple
stations are highlighted. This allows you to control the
toggle states (Control, Phantom, Locked, No Catch Slope)
of a range of stations more easily.
- RoadCalc Station and
Coordinates. Adding new user stations now saves those
values to the sub-project. Whenever the calculation for
the stations and coordinates is made, the user-added
stations are included in the list. Additionally, you may
now edit the labels for "key" stations as well
as enter your own labels for user-added stations.
Whenever an interval station or "key" station
is modified, that station is added as a user-defined
station and saved within the sub-project. If a user-added
station happens to fall on an interval station or "key"
station, the user-added label is used.
- Eagle Point Administrator Convert
Previous Projects. Changes were made to the conversion to
correct problems with alignment synchronization in
converted projects with many alignments.
- System - Locked Layers. AutoCAD users only.
Problems with reporting and attempting to modify items on

- System MicroStation Line Styles. A
change was made so that when Eagle Point commands place
complex chains, the first object (the Complex Chain
element) will no longer have the line style set to the
active line style. Previously, only the elements
contained in the complex chain had the proper line style,
requiring you to drop status in order to plot the line
styles correctly.
- System Rename. A problem was
corrected with renaming Water Surface Profiling sub-projects.
- System Opening Design Files.

the annotation type from By Leader to another type after
annotating By Leader will no longer make the PIC button
inactive.
- Drafting Lines/Curves Annotate.
Opening and closing the System - Default CAD Settings
dialog box while in this command will no longer make the
Annotation Style Library button inactive. Additional
changes were made to ensure the PIC button doesn't
disable when it's not supposed to.
- Drafting Curves Annotate. When
annotating curves by number, a visible point is no longer
placed at the insertion point of curve annotation.
- Drafting Curves Annotate. Using the
Drafting-Resize command to resize the text block of

The following items discuss the most recent changes found in
this version of Eagle Point Software:
The following features have been added to Eagle Point Software:
- COGO - Command Line COGO. Two new commands were added to
the command line COGO interface. They are:
Inverse Two Point Offset - i2po
The Inverse Two Point Offset command allows you to query
or report the distance from, offset and elevation
information about a selection of Node IDs to the Command
History dialog box. These values are reported with
respect to a line defined by two points with the distance
measured from a specified point. The first prompt asks
you to enter two Node IDs separated by a - (dash)
that define a direction. To graphically select two nodes
from CAD use the PIC button. To graphically select two
points from CAD, type * (asterisk) and select the Enter
key. Then graphically pick two points from CAD. If you
are entering two sets of coordinates by typing them, use
a / (slash) to separate the Northing/Easting/Elevation
and a ~ (tilde) to separate the coordinate pair. Next,
enter the Node from which you wish to measure the
distance from. By default the first node (point)
specified in the first prompt is used. Then enter the
selection set of nodes to query. Enter single Node IDs
separated by a comma or '/' (forward slash) or use a '-'
(dash/minus) to enter a range of nodes inclusive. At the
Node Sorting prompt, specify 'n' or 0 to sort the report
based on ascending Node IDs or specify 's' or 1 to sort
the Nodes in increasing distances along. Information
included in the report is the first and second point
coordinates, the direction and distance between the first
and second points, and the coordinates of the measured
from point. Also included for every node selected is the
distance from the measure point along the direction
established, the perpendicular offset from the direction
established, elevation and description. Multiple Offsets
at the same distance along are sorted left to right (negative
to positive).
Zoom Node - zn
The Zoom Node command allows you to view a desired Node
ID in CAD. The current window size is used and the Node
ID specified is centered on screen.
- System Open. The Node validation process that
occurs when a drawing/design file with nodes is opened,
has been significantly sped up. Users that store their
Eagle Point Support folder on a network will see the
biggest speed increase. This change also greatly reduces
the amount of time it takes the COGO Select Nodes dialog
box to build a selection set.
- COGO - Report Nodes and Report Station/Offset. These
commands have been significantly sped up. This is due to
an internal change of how the sorting of the lists occur.
Additionally, users that store their Eagle Point Support
folder on a network will see additional increases in
speed.
- System - Installation. The setup routine no longer resets
your customized Products menu to installation defaults.
- System - Open Design File (Microstation users only).
Occasional MDL system faults when switching between
design files have been fixed. This problem was most
easily seen when using the Profiles-Profile from Object
command in a RoadCalc PCS.
- System - Open. Added ability to correct the project
description when the project library contains a different
description than the project.epp file. Normally Instance
number 3608 would have appeared. Now a dialog box appears
asking you to resolve the difference in the descriptions.
- System - New. When adding an Existing
Eagle Point Project to the project library that has used
Advanced Project Settings to separately locate data and/or
plot files, the projname.epp file is no longer
being incorrectly rewritten.
- System - General. A change was made to how
the project settings file was being read so that plot
scales remain set correctly. Additionally, the project.set
file could become emptied in some network environments.
This problem has been resolved
- System - External Node Database. Browse
Database-Export List now creates a default extension
based on the type of file selected when no extension is
given.
- System - Default CAD Settings. Additional
CAD setting categories have been added to Watershed
Modeling.
- System - Prototype Settings. A change was
made to how a projname.epp that uses Advanced Data
file and Plot file locations is read so that the
prototype drawing can be located when creating a new
Prototype Setting.
- System - ep2dca (Eagle Point Graphics Engine users only). The "ep2dca" command,
which converts Eagle Point nodes to DCA nodes, no longer
opens the layer manager each time a node is converted.
- Eagle Point Graphics Engine - Freezing a block layer now
makes the attribute layers not visible. Previously,
freezing a block with attributes would only freeze the
block layer leaving the attributes visible.
- Eagle Point Graphics Engine - Undo. The undo command has
been updated to ensure that Eagle Point data is retained
when the UNDO command is run. This also corrects problems
so that performing an undo should no longer undo changes
all the way back to the beginning of your current session.
- Eagle Point Graphics Engine - Tentative Entity Snaps no
longer permanently sets the option as a 'running' snap.
- Eagle Point Graphics Engine. Plan View
Intersection Snap now works correctly.
- Eagle Point Graphics Engine - The default middle mouse
button action is no longer the pan command (MBUTTONPAN=0
by default). Grips attraction is also set off by default
to allow entity snaps to work better.
- Eagle Point Graphics Engine - Trim. Upon completion of
this command, the new trimmed object is placed and the
original object being trimmed no longer remains.
- Eagle Point Graphics Engine - Offset. Polylines that
contain consecutive collinear segments can now be offset
properly.
- Eagle Point Graphics Engine - The LIST command can now
displays the area and perimeter for lightweight polylines.

Point option is used to enter the direction of the polar
line, entering a Node ID for the first point and using
the tab key will now place focus in the second point Node
ID edit box.
- COGO - Construct Through Nodes. When the
same Node ID is mistakenly input, the edit fields can now
be modified without having to close and re-enter the
command.
- COGO - Create Mapcheck Report. The closing
distance precision is now controlled by the Mapcheck
Closure precision in Entry Options and the closure error
ratio is now being displayed to the nearest integer.
- COGO - Defined Alignments Dialog Box. An
alignment that was selected with the PIC (Pick in CAD)
icon is now highlighted in the defined alignments dialog
box.

Point Number (PN) to the OS record in the SDMS formatted
file.
- Data Transfer - Import File. When tabs are
encountered in a space delimited file, a warning now
displays stating that tabs are not currently supported
delimiters.
- Profiles - Profile from Object. A profile
from object can now be successfully created in a RoadCalc™
profile coordinate system.
- RoadCalc™ - Profiles. Using the
Parallel Original Ground option through a cross-section
that does not have original ground data no longer causes
a Windows fault during Run Design.

accidental field dropping.
The following items discuss the most recent changes found in
this version of Eagle Point Software:
The following features have been added to Eagle Point Software:
- COGO - Command Line COGO. A new command was added to the
command line COGO interface. It is:
Inverse Station/Offset - iso
The Inverse Station/Offset command allows you to query or
report the station and offset values of selected nodes
with respect to an alignment. The data is written to the
Command History dialog box. You are prompted to enter an
alignment name for which to calculate the stations and
offsets from. Type the alignment name including the sub-project
number or use type '?' and select the Enter key to
display the Select Alignment dialog box. Enter the Node
Range of the Node IDs you wish to report. Enter single
Node IDs separated by a comma or '/' (forward slash) or
use a '-' (dash/minus) to enter a range of nodes
inclusive. At the Node Sorting prompt, specify 'n' or 0
to sort the report based on ascending Node IDs or specify
's' or 1 to sort the Nodes in increasing stationing.
Information included in the report is; Alignment Name,
Node ID, Station, Offset, Elevation and Description. The
Inverse Station/Offset command does not write any
information to the active batch file.
- System Open. Two new buttons were added to the
Open dialog box to access the Rename Project/Sub-project
command and Copy Project/Sub-project command.
- RoadCalc Volumes. The Slope Seeding option has
been updated to work when the Slope Seeding PT Code is
placed on any design surface. Previously it was required
that it was placed on the lowest design surface.
- System General. The Synchronize Alignments Details
dialog box displays the correct numerical and graphical
data when more than one alignment is not in
synchronization.
- System New. Changes were made to ensure that
additional project drawings are sorted correctly in the
Projname.epp file. This corrects problems with scales and
unit settings changing when using additional drawings/design
files.
- System Copy. All data files are being written to
the correct location when copying projects and sub-projects
when using the Advanced Options for Data Files and Plot
Files.
- System Copy. The same sub-project numbers can be
used when copying projects and sub-projects to a
different folder when using the Advanced Options for Data
Files and Plot Files.
- System Prototype Settings. Changes were made to
the header structure in the project library to ensure
that project prototype settings can be added.
- System - Eagle Point Graphics Engine 98. Fixed hatch
patterns to correctly locate the LANDCADD & Graphics
Engine hatch pattern files.
- COGO - Translate-Rotate-Scale. Print Audit Trail now
reports the rotation angle per the system units.
- Data Collection - Reduce. Microstation only. 3-D Line
Templates around a 3 shot curve are now drawn as 3D
curves.
- Drafting - Annotate Station-Offsets. The Partial Station
option now properly annotates the station value. Only
values after the plus sign (including the plus sign) are
placed.
- Intersection Design - The active intersection is now
properly being stored into the PROJECT.IT file
when your Windows user name contains spaces. Previously,
user names with spaces in them caused commands in
Intersection Design that are shared with other modules (Project
Slopes, Track Coordinates, 3D Feature Editor, etc.) to
fail.
- RoadCalc Superelevation Calculator. The
superelevation calculator now computes the superelevation
parameters correctly for when specifying 4 lanes of
pavement.
- RoadCalc - Edit Alignment Data. When using large fonts in
Windows, the dialog box now changes size so that all the
buttons are visible.
- RoadCalc - Manage Utilities. The default annotation
settings for metric projects now contain metric units.
- RoadCalc - Edit Profile Data. The unfixed status of the
second of two VPIs remains set upon opening and
closing the Edit Profile Data dialog box when there are
only two VPIs.
- RoadCalc - Edit Profile Data. The second of two VPIs
that are not fixed now modifies correctly when the first
VPI is modified when there are only two VPIs.
- RoadCalc - Plan and Profile Sheets. Profile annotation
correctly accounts for all combinations of station
equations. Additionally, the horizontal Point of Tangency
(PT) location is annotated with the correct abbreviation.
- RoadCalc - Synchronize Profile Graphics & Data.
Graphic editing or deleting of the profile graphic now
always sets the flag for graphics & data
synchronization. The next time the profile graphic is
viewed or the Synchronize command is run, you will be
prompted for which information is correct, graphic or
numeric.
- RoadCalc Step Through Processing. Selecting the
option to step through the cross-sections that only
produce warnings, no longer generates a windows error
when you select No to continue.
- RoadCalc - Volumes. More than 100 adjustment volumes can
now be added.
- RoadCalc - Volumes. The original surface compaction
factors are now read correctly when there are more
original surfaces than design surfaces. This corrects a
problem with the individual compacted surface volumes and
total compacted volumes.
- Sewers Plan and Profile Sheets. Horizontal pipe
slopes are now annotated as 0% following your specified
precision.
- Sewers Plan and Profile Sheets. Pipe ends of pipes
adjacent to the reach are shown and annotated at both the
upstream and downstream ends of the reach.
- Storm Sewers Inlet Library. The inlet library no
longer allows inlets with duplicate names.
- Storm Sewers Calculate. Inlet Flows specified as
only known flows no longer produce excessive ponding
areas.
- Site Design Calculate Prismoidal. The Prismoidal
volume report placed in the CAD graphic now has
consistent spacing between rows.
- Site Design Calculate Prismoidal. Using both the
Use Constant Elevation and Use Boundary options on
prismoidal volume calculations no longer adversely
affects the third surface model in the project.
- Surface Modeling Annotate Contours. AutoCAD only.
The Break contour around annotation option now properly
breaks the contour when using Eagle Point Objects.
- Surface Modeling Curved Breaklines. Breaklines
with 2-D arcs with nodes at elevation at the endpoints
and midpoint, now have the densified elevations correctly
interpolated during triangulation.
- Quantity Takeoff - Fixed the Export command to filter out
spaces for the names of the customer.
- Quantity Takeoff - Fixed the Export command to substitute
with a different character and/or string of the
users choice (or completely remove). This fixes the
bug with import into Quickbooks Pro.
- Site Planning - Fixed Opening so that the window can be
placed from the closest corner picked offset the
distance that the user entered. Fixed the distance
checking routine to allow larger openings (up to the size
of the remaining wall space).
- Site Planning - Fixed Parking Lot commands to place more
then two handicap symbols when laying out a parking lot.
The following items discuss the most recent changes found in
this version of Eagle Point Software:
The following features have been added to Eagle Point Software:
- COGO - Command Line COGO. Three new commands were added
to the command line COGO interface. They are:
Intersect Direction-Distance - drdt
Intersect Distance-Distance - dtdt
Inverse Angle - iang
The Intersect Direction-Distance command allows you to
locate a node at the intersection point of one direction
(with optional offset distance) and the radial sweep of a
distance from a second point. When multiple solutions (intersections)
exist, the intersection location must be specified.
Specify the most northerly, easterly, southerly, westerly
or both Intersection Locations. The closet intersection
location to the first point specified will be the default.
Depending on the Draw Nodes/Lines toggle you will have a
Node placed at the intersection point(s), lines drawn
from the two basepoints to the intersection point(s) or
both.
The Intersect Distance-Distance command allows you to
locate a node at the intersection point of the two
circles formed by a radial sweep of the distance entered
about each occupied node. When multiple solutions (intersections)
exist, the intersection location must be specified.
Specify the most northerly, easterly, southerly, westerly
or both Intersection Locations. The most northerly
intersection location will be the default. Depending on
the Draw Nodes/Lines toggle you will have a Node placed
at the intersection point(s), lines drawn from the two
basepoints to the intersection point(s) or both.
The Inverse Angle command allows you to query or report
the angle between three points. The data is written to
the Command History dialog box. By default, you are
prompted to enter the three Node IDs separated by a
(dash) in the order of Start Point, Vertex Point
and End Point. To graphically select the three nodes from
CAD, use the PIC button. To graphically select three
points from CAD, type * (asterisk) and select the Enter
key. Then graphically pick the three points from CAD. The
order you select the nodes/points determines the
direction of the angle. If you are entering the
coordinates by typing them use a / (slash) to separate
the Northing/Easting/Elevation and a ~ (tilde) to
separate the Start, Vertex and End point coordinates.
Information included in the report is; Node/Point
Coordinates, the horizontal direction and horizontal
distance between the three points, and the Angle Right,
Angle Left, Deflection Right and Deflection Left between
the three points. The Inverse Angle command does not
write any information to the active batch file.
- Site Design - Change Elevation. The Change Elevation
command was added to the Layout menu in Site Design. This
command enables you to change an objects 3-D
elevation. You can change the elevation to a constant 3-D
elevation using the Absolute method, or to a relative
elevation using the Relative method. You can use any of
the CAD selection methods in AutoCAD/IntelliCAD/ Eagle
Point Graphics Engine. MicroStation users can set the
Selection Method to Fence or Multiple. To use the Fence
Method, a fence must already be placed in the design file.
Use the Multiple method to select objects individually in
CAD with the PIC icon. After the selection set is built,
set the appropriate Method and Elevation value and click
on Apply.
- Site Design - Erase Slope Projections by Selection. This
command enables you to erase slope projection lines for
individual objects that have slope projections. By using
the Erase by Selection command, you can select a slope
line or catchline and all associated slope, feature and
catch lines are erased. This preserves any slope
projections that have been made previously to other
objects, whereas the Erase All toggle removes all sets of
slope projection, feature line and catchlines that have
been projected to the current surface model. Only Slope
Projections made with the Project to Surface Model,
Project to Offset and Project to Catchline commands in
the 2000 Q3G release (or later) can be erased by
selecting them.
- System - External Node Database. An Export option has
been added to the Browse Database dialog box that allows
you to export the current list of nodes to an Microsoft
Access database or Excel spreadsheet. The Export List
button enables once you have added nodes to the list.
Selecting the Export List button displays the Windows
Save File dialog box that allows you to specify the
desired location and filename. The two file types control
whether the exported file will be in an Access 97 (*.mdb)
format or in an Excel 97 (*.xls) format. A prototype
nodeblnk.mdb and a prototype nodeblnk.xls files are
needed in the ...\EGPT\SUPPORT folder. These files are
obtained by installing the 2000 1.1.0 or 2001 1.1.0 CDs.
You must have these files in order to run the Export List
command. Alternatively you may download the two files
from ftp://ftp2.eaglepoint.com/Patches/Civil/Egpt/Year2001/End.
- Base Plan - Added VIP enhancement to the Jumpline command.
The new feature will allow a jumpline to be placed with a
specified size.
- Irrigation Design - Added VIP enhancement to all Head
Placement commands and configuration dialog => Match
Head Properties button. This button will allow the user
to select a head or coverage arc in CAD and set the
properties for the current head configuration.
- Landscape Design - Added VIP feature to Modify Plant that
gives access to the Palette Manager and the Plant Size
Manager.
- System - The Millenium Edition of Windows (Windows Me) is
now a supported Operating System. Be aware that not all
CAD packages support the use of Windows Me and running
Eagle Point with those CAD packages may produce abnormal
operations.
- System - Open dialog box. An About button was added to
display the About Eagle Point dialog box so that you may
check which version of Eagle Point you are running
without having to open a project.
- System - The project tree on the Open, Copy, Delete and
Rename dialog boxes now sort the RoadCalc, Sanitary
Sewer, Storm Sewer and Water Surface Profiling sub-projects
in ascending sub-project number.
- System - The Open dialog box and full screen mainframe
now minimize immediately upon opening a drawing/design
file or sub-project. This enables you to see your entire
CAD window including any messages (AutoCAD Proxy, Eagle
Point synchronization, etc.) that may appear when opening
the drawing/design file without being "sunk"
behind Eagle Point.
- System - Copy. The Copy command now defaults the project
path of the highlighted project as the destination
location. Additional error checking was also added to
prevent the copying of one project into a folder that
contains another Eagle Point Project. Sub-projects may
still be copied between different sub-projects. Also,
Sewer sub-projects now display their 2-digit sub-project
number properly.
- Sewers - Edit Junctions. Two new methods for estimating
the head loss at junctions have been added to the Storm
and Sanitary Sewers Modules. Use the appropriate method
by setting the Loss Method droplist on the Edit Junction
dialog box. The Total Loss and Total Loss (smooth)
methods expand the methods available for the development
of hydraulic grade lines for sewers.
The Total Loss method can be used for normally
constructed junctions. While the Total Loss (smooth)
method contains a 50% reduction factor for junctions
incorporating partial diameter inlet shaping or channel
smoothing. For additional information, click here.
- Eagle Point Graphics Engine - With the installation of
the 2000 1.1.0 or 2001 1.1.0 CD, the Eagle Point Graphics
Engine will be updated to the 2001 version. This update
provides for writing out the drawing files as the AutoCAD
2000 DWG file format.
- COGO - Command Line COGO. The horizontal direction Input
field now supports the use of South Azimuths. Enter SA in
front of the azimuth value.
- COGO - Field Data Traverse. Using the Entry Option of
Backsight Direction and Angle now updates the Backsight
properly when traversing to the next leg.
- Drafting - Insert Coordinate Grid. You are now allowed to
snap to a CAD object for the second pick point.
- Drafting - Write Legal Description. The "By Points"
option for defining your parcel has been updated to
correct problems when entering Node IDs numerically and
graphically.
- QTO - Updated error checking for the Import Database
command.
- RoadCalc - Edit Alignment Data. The curve length is now
properly reported for PIs containing only a spiral in and
circular curve.
- RoadCalc - Convert Objects to Profile. This command now
marks all VPIs as "Fixed" upon completion.
- RoadCalc - Edit Profile Data. Toggling on the "Fixed"
option for the BOP no longer changes the grade to the
second VPI. Also, toggling the "Fixed" option
for the EOP no longer causes a Windows Exception error.
- RoadCalc - Cross-Section Sheets. Adding new Slope
Annotation options no longer produces a Windows Exception
error.
- RoadCalc - Cross-Section Sheets. Changes were made to
account for having multiple columns being placed using
certain metric sheet settings.
- Sanitary Sewers - Calculation Details. In metric project,
pump flow is now label as 'lps' rather than 'lpm'.
- Site Design - Analyze Slopes. The table placed in CAD and
the printed report now exclude any slope ranges that were
toggled off for display.
- Surface Modeling - Contour Annotation. Annotating
contours that have dense, short segments would
occasionally remove too many segments producing "gaps"
in the contours were there wasn't any annotation. This
problem has been resolved.
- Surface Modeling - New Surface Model. You may now add
surface models while in an additional drawing/design file
that was also used as the external file for placing
contours without receiving numerous error messages.
- Base Plan - Fixed Block substitution bug of placing
substituted blocks at an elevation of 0.0.
- Irrigation Design - Fixed bug for placement of adjustable
nozzles offset to the left of the insertion point when
placing a 360 degree coverage arc.
- Irrigation Design - Fixed coverage pattern for the Box
style. Was previously being located at 0,0,0 regardless
of the insertion point picked.
- Irrigation Design - Added QTO to the Drip Emitter command.
- Landscape Design - Added new toggle to Plant Outline to
place circles that are not merged when placing outlines
in CAD.
- Landscape Design - Added a New Plant Table interface.
Added sorting options, export capability, table format
manager, and increased speed performance.
- Landscape Design - Fixed the bug for the VIP convert
circle command. The command was previously failing to
snap the plants to a selected surface model.
- Site Planning - Updated Openings command to keep the
dialog displayed when finished placing an opening.
- Site Planning - Updated error checking for opening
dimensions versus the wall to contain the opening.
- Site Planning - Added option to pick which direction the
door will swing for the opening.
