What was New in Eagle Point 1.4.0

The following items discuss the most recent changes found in this version of Eagle Point Software:

Node Modification Commands

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 Database

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.
