What's Changed in Eagle Point for 3.4.0

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 changes followed by enhancements and bug fixes.

SYSTEM

• New Additional Drawing/Design File- Eagle Point will now allow you to add multiple additional drawings/design files by multi-select.  This allows you to add several drawings/design files at once, instead of adding each drawing/design file individually. When multiple drawings/design files are selected, the open box will show Path\<## Drawings> to indicate the number of drawings/design files that will be added to the selected project.  Eagle Point will automatically filter out any drawings/design files that are already added.  Only drawings within the same path can be selected at one time.
• Synchronize Nodes - A details button has been added to provide a text document reporting the differences between CAD graphics and Eagle Point's data record. The Eagle Point Data is stored in a DND file and is different from the External Node Database which uses Access to store the data.  Users may use this to determine what the problem is with synchronization for coordinate differences, Node ID has been changed outside our software, and missing nodes.
• Synchronize Nodes - (IntelliCAD\Graphics Engine Only) Selecting "Use Graphic" now updates the Eagle Point Data correctly.

ADMINISTRATOR

• Configure Eagle Point - When switching from TCP-IP or Novell to Node, you will no longer get a message stating "Cannot Create Specified File" in Windows XP.

ADVANCED IRRIGATION

• Locate Mainline - Two mainlines pipes that are drawn at right angles with no valve between them will no longer be replaced with one pipe when working in architectural units.

COGO

• Place Node - Pressing the Apply button on the Place Node dialog while CAD is prompting "Select Point"  will no longer causes an Unhandled Access Violation.
• Place Node - (IntelliCAD\Graphics Engine Only)  Nodes not using the "Place Field Codes Layer and Color" option will now use the active color setting.  

DRAFTING

• Annotate Curves - A new toggle "Include Label Prefix/Suffix" has been added in the Curve Annotation Style to allow the use of the prefix and suffix in the curve table directly.  This allows the use of xx.xx' in the table instead of the raw number.
• Annotate Curves - The Curve Table can now place the delta symbol in the table (Heading or Label Field).  To place the delta symbol, place the ^ symbol as the first character.
• Annotate Line/Curve - A new setting has been added to allow the customization of the header.  NUMBER is now default, but can be changed.
• Annotate Areas - Objects containing arcs with large radius (> 1 billion) now calculate areas properly.
• Annotate Station Offset - The Station and Offset annotation is properly justified when annotating by leader and to the left.
• Place Symbol - (AutoCAD 2004) Now places symbols without causing Audit to report errors.

ROADCALC

• AASHTO 2001 Speed Tables are now included on the CD.  To install the speed tables, place the 2003 Q4 CD in your CD drive. They are located in the Goodies Folder on the root of the CD.  The install will append the 2001 tables into the existing speed tables list.
• Associate Alignments and Profiles - When modifying an Alignment and Profile Control to use another alignment or profile, duplicates are no longer added to the list.
• Cross-Section Plots - If Utility Text is larger than 1", they are now properly scaled to fit within the cross-section boundary.
• Edit Alignment Data - When modifying a PI, the drop list is now set properly based on the current direction of the PI, not defaulting to North Azimuth.
• Edit Alignment Data - The Fix toggle now properly holds the coordinates for a fixed PI and holds the PI's direction set for a non-fixed PI when modifying data previous to it.
• Edit Alignment Data - The Fix toggle now functions properly.  On a change in location of a previous PI, having the toggle on holds the coordinates of the current PI, and having the toggle off holds the angle and distance between the current and previous PI. 
• Edit Alignment Data - (AutoCAD\IntelliCAD\Graphics Engine Only) Grip editing an alignment twice in a row is now handled properly. 
• Edit Profile Data - (MicroStation Only) Modifying the 1st VPI using the PIC button no longer causes MicroStation to abort.
• Extract From Surface Model - Eagle Point now extracts Cross Sections correctly when the cross section crosses the surface model boundary multiple times.
• Adjust Plan and Profile - (MicroStation Only) Profile drawings are now held properly when adjusting the plan portion of the sheet.
• View Profile Graphics - Now properly zooms to the Profile area when placed in the Plan drawing/design file.

SEWERS

• Create Network - Changes were made to the command to allow a user to pick the location of manholes at an accelerated rate.   Users should be able to select locations of manholes as fast as CAD will allow them.  This resolves problems of CAD crashing when using the mbuttonpan to move and select locations of manholes.
• Plan and Profile - Ellipses are now drawn correctly on hydraulic profiles that contains a V dip section.

SITE DESIGN

• Analyze Slopes - The command has been modified so that if a user selects a boundary, we now show the slopes up to the boundary instead of showing only triangles completely inside the boundary.  The command also has an option not to draw the triangles so you can view just the report. 
• Analyze Slopes - The slope table now honors the View Rotation properly.  Additionally, there is a totals row to show total plan and surface area of the triangles.

SURFACE MODELING

• Edit Surface Model - (AutoCAD 14 Only) Using Eagle Point Objects to modify the surface model no longer causes an unhandled exception in AutoCAD.
• Place Grid Elevation - Entering a negative rotation is now restored properly when modifying the data.
• Place Triangles - The elevation range column in the elevation table now is created at a reasonable size.
• Eagle Point is interested in knowing if the readme file is being read.  If you find this file helpful, click on E-Mail to send an email to Eagle Point stating you read this file.

WATERSHED MODELING

• Manage Land Use Groups - The Curve Number is now correctly printed in the report.

WATER SURFACE PROFILING

• Edit Alignment Data - When modifying a PI, the drop list is now set properly based on the current direction of the PI, not defaulting to North Azimuth.
• Edit Alignment Data - The Fix toggle now properly holds the coordinates for a fixed PI and holds the PI's direction set for a non-fixed PI when modifying data previous to it.
• Edit Alignment Data - The Fix toggle now functions properly.  On a change in location of a previous PI, having the toggle on holds the coordinates of the current PI, and having the toggle off holds the angle and distance between the current and previous PI.

What's Changed in Eagle Point for 3.3.0

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 changes followed by enhancements and bug fixes.

SYSTEM

• OpenGL Previewer - Eagle Point will no longer crash while the application 'Popquest' is in use. This happened if one of the OpenGL preview dialogs didn't show any objects (e.g. the Open dialog).
• Grip editing Nodes/Objects - After performing a grip edit on a Node attribute, you will no longer see a *cancel* across the command line. The grips will be active until the user cancels.
• Node/Field Code Library - Nodes that have been placed with an elevation precision of 0 (zero) will now retain the precision of 0 when commands such as Swivel, Move, etc have been run. 
• (AutoCAD 2004 only) - When in SDI mode and switching between drawings, certain commands no longer appeared to work properly. This problem has now been fixed.
• (MicroStation only) - Rotate Text - Text or other CAD graphics objects that may have become uneditable because they were locked by Eagle Point may now be edited through Eagle Point. This happened when EP recognized the object as a locked Node in the graphic and therefore prevented any editing to be performed on the object.

ADMINISTRATOR

• Configure Eagle Point - When configuring the Images and/or Support folders to point to a different location and you opt to copy files, the files themselves are now being copied. Additionally, each support file that contains a file path statement is verified and modified for the new file location. For this reason, it is recommended that you use this method if your intention is to move your support and/or images files to a shared location.
• Configure Eagle Point - When configuring the Images and Support folders to point to a different location and your project library location matches the old projects library location, the project library location will be updated to match the newly configured support folder location. If the projects library location was already configured to something other than the old support file location, the project library information is not updated. (If you said NO to the prompt for copying files but YES to the point of the files, this will happen.)

COGO

• Report Single Station/Offset - Displays the station and offset fields such that you can copy station or offset information from the edit fields and paste the information into reports, text commands, etc.
• Use of the Station/Offset Report command had been linked to known instances where some project settings had not been saved properly and may also have led to the creation of a second alignment database file. This behavior may have been exhibited in situations where the machine was very fast at executing commands, but the server and/or connection to the project was comparatively slow. All indicators that pointed to the cause of this problem appear to be fixed.
• Place Node - If you pressed <SPACEBAR> or <ENTER> after running the command once, you used to be unable to run that command again in that session. Other commands that displayed EPCMD across the command line or that used the PIC (Pick in CAD) button to select a point that experienced a similar problem have also been fixed.
• Convert to Lot - When removing the <> and using a path, it no longer labels each lot with the same name.

COLORFAST

• Sprinkler heads and coverage areas now appear in the correct location when creating a ColorFast drawing (*.CFD).
• MTEXT, plant labels, Leadered text, etc. now appear in the ColorFast drawing as they do in the CAD graphic.
• Older versions of ColorFast will not be able to open the new ColorFast drawing format. Users of older versions of ColorFast may need to recreate drawings created in the newer version.

CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

• (AutoCAD 2004 only) - The Construction Details items now display properly.

DATA COLLECTION

• Download from Collector - When selecting a COM port to use for downloading from the collector or uploading to the collector, 'N/A' will display in the COM port listing if the port cannot be opened at the time the command is opened. The port may not be available because it is not configured, doesn't exist, or is in use by another application or device.
• Download from Collector - When a partial job is downloaded or imported using one of the SDR file formats, the data in the job is now being read and converted to the SDMS format.
• Edit Formatted File - The SDMS Editor now includes the VO: or vertical offset data tag in the list of supported data tags. This tag may be used to represent a change in the staff or rod height. You can also enter a measured distance to a point at a remote elevation (e.g. invert elevation) by entering a positive value or bridge deck, utility, etc. using a negative value. This option is customizable when using the Leica, Geodimeter or SDMS formats.
• Reduce - Error checking has been added to prevent a crash when two points on a curve have the same coordinates but different elevations.

DRAFTING

• When annotating Station/Offsets and Coordinates, the tail now aligns with the text rotation instead of always being drawn horizontally from the text to the leader.
• When annotating Station/Offsets or Coordinates using either Leader method, the text retains the correct order in which it is displayed. This also works properly within a rotated view and/or if your text is rotated.
• When annotating Station/Offsets and using the Pick by Leader option, the display of the station and offset values remain on the screen until you pick the final location of the text.

IRRIGATION DESIGN

• Style 2 has now been restored to place shaded coverage arcs instead of just the arc segments.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN

• When converting plants from a project that was produced with an earlier version of LandCADD, the plants that exist in the database are now converted. Plant names that do not exist in the database need to first be added (e.g. through importing a *.NAM file) prior to conversion.
• A plant alias can have up to 21 characters. This length is now error-checked on the dialog box to prevent potential problems when labeling the plants.
• A planting size may have up to 25 characters. Planting sizes in excess of the allowable size will be truncated to 25 characters.

ROADCALC

• Edit Alignment Data - Modifying curve PI's with spirals will no longer cause the alignment data to become unsynchronized. This was fixed by updating the tangent direction out of the PI. The alignment graphic and data now synchronize automatically when modifying the PI's of curves with spirals.
• Manage Utilities - You may now turn OFF utilities from displaying in the Cross-Section view, Cross-Section Plots and the Profile view. Turning off a utility will prevent the utility from being used to calculate the cross-section spacing when generating Cross-Section plot sheets. For Storm and Sanitary sewer reaches for the profile view only, you may choose to display these in the Profile Settings dialog box.
• Cross-Section Sheets - You may now set the precision for the cross-section stationing. There are separate settings for Curve Stations and the Interval Stations. Curve Stations default to a precision of 2 and the Interval Stations default to 0.
• Cross-Section Sheets - You can now generate cross-section plot sheets that start on a station that follows a cross-section with no earthwork volumes (such as a cross-section marked as phantom or no catch slopes).
• (MicroStation only) Cross-Section Sheets - The created sheet border will now insert properly when the Lower Left X Coord and Lower Left Y Coord values are something other than (0.000,0.000).
• Plan and Profile Sheets - You may now change the order of the Northing, Easting and Deflection Angle parameters as they are annotated at the beginning of project (BOP) and end of project (EOP). These settings are changed by editing the horizontal station labels.
• (MicroStation only) Plan and Profile Sheets - The seed file used as a sheet prototype for plan and profile sheets may use a different global origin than that of the plan design file.
• (MicroStation only) Plan and Profile Sheets - If you have a reference file that has been moved, scaled, or rotated to fit the plan drawing, the attached reference is no longer placed back to the original coordinates when referenced into a Plan and Profile sheet.
• Create Surface Model from Road now reads all surface model settings (Min/Max elevation, Tolerance, etc.) when creating the surface model.
• Volume Reports - Adjustment volumes may be modified in subprojects that have multiple original surfaces. There was an indexing problem when modifying adjustment volumes on subprojects that had more than one original surface, which has now been fixed.

STORM SEWERS

• Edit Flows - Flow data assigned to an inlet from a hydrograph is now accumulated through the downstream pipes.
• Inlet Library - While adding a new Grate on Grade to the Inlet Library, you may now select the Custom option to manually edit the opening ratio and splash-over velocity of the grate. Previously, the custom option was only available when modifying an existing inlet in the library.

SITE DESIGN

• Make Flowline - Surface models created using other software programs that have been imported via Data Transfer -> Import LandXML will now display correct slope information. Commands that make flowlines or analyze the slope of individual triangles may have displayed the opposite direction intended due to the method used to create the triangles. New surfaces that are being imported and existing surfaces are being adjusted so the data is read correctly.

SURFACE MODELING

• Triangulate Surface Model from Contours - This command no longer will prompt you more than once for resolving crossing breaklines.
• Triangulate Merged Surface Models - When creating a merged model that has Min/Max elevation values outside the range of one or more of the models being merged, it now acknowledges the problem by displaying the message to check the surface settings.
• Triangulate Merged Surface Models - The CANCEL button is hooked up. When cancelled, the command will stop at the end of the current step during the merging process (e.g. Getting Triangles, Inserting Breaklines, etc.).
• (MicroStation only) Triangulate Surface Model - Selected BSpline objects when triangulating a surface model will be filtered out of the selection. BSplines are ignored by Surface Modeling and therefore cannot be used in its creation.

WATER SURFACE PROFILING

• Export to HECRAS - Cross-section data exported using the HECRAS *.GIS format now includes PI coordinate data. This information helps HECRAS report the correct reach lengths between cross-sections. In the past, you had to have a cross-section at each PI point on the stream alignment to report the correct reach lengths. This applies to both stream reach lengths and overbank reach lengths.

What was changed in Eagle Point 3.2.0

• System - AutoCAD 2004 is now a supported CAD engine. AutoCAD 14/200x users upgrading to AutoCAD 2004 only need to run the Configure CAD Engine from the Eagle Point Administrator Program to "point" to the AutoCAD 2004 acad.exe file. The 2003 3.2.0 CD also contains AutoCAD 2004 as a supported CAD engine during installation. If AutoCAD 2004 is the only version of AutoCAD that is installed on the workstation and there is no previous version of Eagle Point installed, you will need the 2003 3.2.0 CD.
• System - Print Options. A "Print Setup" button has been added to allow you to change the settings of the printout. This displays the Print Setup dialog box allowing you to control the location of the printout, column width and header information.
• System - Defined Alignments. The dialog is now sortable and sizeable. After sorting or sizing the dialog, the settings are remembered for the next time the dialog is opened.
• Administrator - Configure Eagle Point. A new option was added to allow users to switch easily between checking out licenses from locally installed keys and a network license manager. This would previously require the user to uninstall one version and reinstall the next version.
• COGO - Convert to Lot. The Convert to Lot process has a new option to increase productivity. The new option "Closed Objects (select along path)" converts any closed object intersecting a defined path (either selecting a line/polyline/smartline) or by picking points to define the path. The lots will be defined in the order the path crosses through each closed object. The change also takes advantage of the 3.1.0 enhancement that allows you to sequentially define your lots in the dialog box allowing you to define the Name, Description, ID, Owner and Parent automatically as well as annotate it. Already defined lots along the defined path are not re-converted.
• Drafting - Annotate Station-Offset and Annotate Coordinates. The command, as well as the Annotate Coordinate keyin shortcuts crd and crdl, now show a preview for the annotation that will be placed. Additionally, the command will automatically repeat once the annotation is placed until the command is cancelled by hitting enter in AutoCAD/IntelliCAD/Standalone or Reset in MicroStation
• RoadCalc - Surface Extension Options. A new feature has been added to the Cross-Section Settings dialog to allow surfaces to extend beyond their existing original surface data. Surfaces may be extended horizontally or by the last slope segment to a tie point.  Settings are available to stop extending at a max distance from existing surface data or up to the ROW alignment. For more details, click here.
• RoadCalc - Volumes.  A new option has been added to print out volume reports.  Print Custom Volumes allows a user to set the widths and order of the volume data similar to the custom option available in the report nodes command.
• System - New. Adding a new project by selecting the EPP file now correctly reformats the project properly with any new path information.
• System - New. Adding a project without a description is no longer allowed. This would display an instance 1006 when displaying the project library.
• System - Launch CAD (AutoCAD Only). Launching AutoCAD no longer brings up a message that CAD must be active if a missing shape file or Proxy Information dialog is displayed in CAD. This was caused by Eagle Point attempting to synchronize alignments, but CAD was not ready to receive the request.
• System - Open. A path with an ' (apostrophe) no longer interferes with the alignment database.
• System - Eagle Point Graphics Engine. Using the pedit command on a lightweight polyline no longer causes an IntelliCAD hidden window error.
• System - Eagle Point Graphics Engine. Polylines with zero-length segments cause the Bpoly command to not find valid regions.
• Administrator - Configure Registry. The Reset Current User's Entire Eagle Point Registry option now deletes the Print Setup and EPSDMS settings for the current user.
• Advanced Irrigation - Auto Size Mainlines. Mainlines now take into account the size of laterals when sizing pipes.
• COGO - Command Line COGO. DRDR now properly stores the offsets for the 2 directions in the batch file. The actual node location was computed correctly, but the first stored offset in the batch file incorrectly assumed the second offset distance.
• Data Collection - Upload/Download from Collector. This command now supports network/Windows XP installs where the program folder might be read-only.
• Drafting - Annotate Station Offsets. The command has removed the hard coded space between the annotation and the suffix of the Distance and the Side. It now can be removed from the annotation style.
• Drafting - Annotate Station Offsets. The command now holds the rotation of the annotation if it is set to something other than zero.
• Drafting - Annotate Station Offsets. Setting the AutoCAD/IntelliCAD/Standalone color for the annotation no longer sets the MicroStation Color and Font.
• Drafting - Pattern Line. This command now honors the oblique angle set by the text style.
• RoadCalc - Catchlines. The CAD settings are now being saved properly.
• RoadCalc - Edit Cross Section Data. The Pin Slope no longer regenerates the graphic data when executed. Additionally, it correctly assumes the correct location for PT Codes 1000 and 1001 if not shown in the graphics. Pin Slope is no longer required to start from a vertex on a surface, but may start at any point of an existing surface.  
• RoadCalc - Edit Cross Section Data. It is no longer required that layers/levels be thawed/on when viewing cross-section graphics. Previously, surfaces on layers/levels that were frozen/off would not be removed. When the next or previous cross section was viewed, this would cause synchronization messages.
• RoadCalc - Edit Cross Section Data. You can now pick a point in the Profile drawing to define a station that has a BOP other than zero.
• RoadCalc - Manage Typical Section. Now remembers the new typical name when it is modified.
• RoadCalc - Profiles from PT Codes. The CAD settings are now being saved properly.
• RoadCalc - Cross Section Plots. If a linestyle/linetype, or text style/font are not properly defined in the prototype drawing, it will highlight the offending CAD settings and attempt to regenerate the sheet after a correction is made by the user.
• Sewers - Calculate Storm. Custom Rainfall calculations were sped up.
• Site Analysis - Slope. The slope classes may now be deleted without getting an unsupported operation message.
• Site Analysis - Slope. Auto Generate Slope Classes now operates properly.
• Site Analysis - Slope. Now allows up to an infinite slope to be entered.
• Site Analysis - Slope. The Legend now follows the View Rotation properly.
• Site Analysis - Slope. The Legend is now placed properly in MicroStation.
• Site Analysis - Elevation. Auto-Generate Elevation Classes now operates properly.
• Site Analysis - Proximity. The Legend is now placed properly in MicroStation.
• Site Analysis - Proximity. The Legend now follows the View Rotation properly.
• Site Analysis - Single Point. The Legend now follows the View Rotation properly.
• Site Analysis - Multiple Points. The Legend now follows the View Rotation properly.
• Surface Modeling - Place Grid. Setting a longitudinal angle now shows the grid properly.
• Surface Modeling - Merged Surface Models. Now properly determines if breaklines are within or outside of an incoming tin model.
• Watershed Modeling - Entering Sub-Basins or Land Uses longer than 18 characters no longer causes Eagle Point to crash. The correct limit of 45 is now accepted properly.

What was new in Eagle Point 3.1.0

The following items discuss the 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.

VIP Enhancements provided in 2003 Q1 3.1.0

There are no new VIP-specific enhancements in this release.

Additional Enhancements and Bug Fixes provided in 2002/2003 3.1.0

• System - AutoCAD Map 6 is now a supported CAD engine. Since the AutoCAD Map 6 release overwrites your current 2000/2000i/Map 5 installation, installing the patch is the only step that needs to be performed. AutoCAD 14 users upgrading to AutoCAD Map 6 only need to run the Configure CAD Engine to "point" to the AutoCAD Map 6 acad.exe file, then add an Eagle_Point_98 profile that includes the path to the Eagle Point \Images folder. The 2003 3.1.0 CD also contains AutoCAD Map 6 as a supported CAD engine during installation.
• COGO - Convert to Lot. The Convert to Lot process has been changed to increase productivity. The change is in the dialog box allowing you to enter the Name, Description, ID, Owner and Parent. You can now enter a lot name that will automatically increment when lots are converted.
  
  To use the automatic lot name increment, enter the <> symbols in the Lot Name edit field. Set the corresponding number in the field to the right of the lot name. Anything that is entered before the <> is considered a prefix to the Lot Number and anything after the <> is considered a suffix. When the lot is converted, the <> is replaced with the corresponding number in the edit field to the right of the lot name. When a lot is converted and the Apply button is selected, the number will automatically increment. If the <> symbols are not in the Lot Name edit field, the corresponding number is not used in conjunction with the lot name.
  
  You will also want to toggle on the Convert to Lot on Pick of Internal Point option. When the Apply button is selected, the command will automatically repeat using the Convert to Lot option that was selected. The Lot Name dialog box will no longer display for each additional lot that is converted unless you stop the command and select a new method for converting the lot.
  
  Another option that was added to increase your productivity is the ability to annotate the lot when it is converted. To annotate the lot when it is converted, toggle on the Annotate Lot option. Select an existing annotation style from the Annotation Style drop list. Modifications to the annotation style can be done by selecting Drafting - Annotate - Styles. Highlight the desired style, select Area/Lot in the drop list and click on the Edit button.
  
  If a lot needs to be reannotated once it is converted, you can do so by using the Drafting module. You can use the Annotate - Lots command or the Annotate - Multiple Objects command and select Lots as the option.
  
  Another way to increase your productivity using the Eagle Point Boundary option when converting a lot is to reduce the number of objects that are visible on screen. When the Eagle Point Boundary option is used, all objects visible on screen are selected as valid objects to form a boundary. Once the objects are selected, they are all evaluated with the internal point you pick. Therefore, with fewer objects selected (visible on screen), the processing time will be reduced to find the closed object around the internal point.
• COGO - Place Node. This command has been optimized to increase your productivity. AutoCAD/Graphics Engine users can also use the EPPN command which is a command line version of the Place Node command.
• System - Eagle Point Graphics Engine. You are now able to draw polylines with different width segments. For example, the first segment of the polyline can now have a width of 2, the second segment a width of 4, and so on. Previously the first segment had to have a width of 0.
• System - Eagle Point Graphics Engine. The Save as R14 feature now works correctly. Previously, the drawings would not display correctly in AutoCAD 14 after you used the Save as R14 feature in the graphics engine.
• System - Eagle Point Graphics Engine. Text spacing is now correct when using Mtext with an .shx font. Previously, extra spaces would be included between the words in a line of text.
• System - Eagle Point Graphics Engine. Command prompting has been improved when drawing lines, polylines or arcs after doing a grip edit. You are now correctly prompted for a start point when issuing the command after a grip edit.
• System - Cut/Clip. When you perform a copyclip or cutclip in AutoCAD, the Eagle Point nodes are no longer automatically included in the selection set.
• System - Select Layer. The layers are now displayed in alphabetical order in all of the Select Layer dialog boxes.
• System - Node Field Code Library. Brackets {} are now valid when importing a symbol file.
• System - Shortcut. The Alignment database is now loaded when opening a project using the project shortcut. Previously when you opened a project using a project shortcut, the Alignment database would not open for the project. You would then receive an error message of "Instance 2521: .IFO cannot find specified file".
• System - General. A problem with duplicate records in the Alignment database has been fixed. The symptom of this problem was that the Converting Alignments progress bar would stop. This problem should have been quite rare and limited to multiple users accessing the same database.
• Advanced Irrigation - Help icons have been added to the Autosize Mainlines and Autosize Laterals dialog boxes.
• Advanced Irrigation - Locate Mainline. When drawing mainline pipes to connect either a valve in head or a zone valve, the Locate Mainline command was not snapping to the valve or the point of connection. When the Autosize Mainlines command is run, the mainlines will now automatically snap to the POC and the valves.
• Advanced Irrigation - Locate Lateral. In some instances, heads were being deleted when drawing crossing lateral pipes. This occurred when Intersect Crossing Pipes, Place Label, and Snap to Head were toggled on. The heads are no longer deleted.
• Advanced Irrigation - Assign Zones. Memory leaks have been fixed with this command. Previously, this command could go into a loop and use up system resources.
• Advanced Irrigation - Locate Lateral. The pipe text is now aligned correctly in a rotated view.
• Base Plan - Place Text on Polyline. The text is now displayed correctly when using true type fonts in the Eagle Point Graphics Engine.
• Base Plan - Create Perspective. Both the Observers and View Point X,Y coordinates can be graphically selected now. Previously only the Observers coordinates could be graphically selected.
• COGO - Leader Attributes. The attributes are now correctly justified when the node leader is to the left of the node insertion point. Previously, the text on the left side of the node insertion point would be incorrectly justified, and overlapping text would occur.
• COGO - If you had nodes that had elevations between 0 and -1, node modification commands like Swivel or Edit would add an additional minus (-) sign to the elevation attribute. This has now been fixed.
• COGO - When using an External Node Database and running the Edit or Match Node commands, which change the field code, you no longer get duplicate nodes in the database.
• COGO - Convert Objects to Alignment. MicroStation users only. You can now convert alignments that have spirals and are using custom linestyles.
• COGO - When modifying a node where the drawing units are architectural, the attributes will now be correctly modified. Previously, the attributes would all appear at coordinate 0,0 in the drawing.
• COGO - Nodes. The PIC button now works correctly when selecting nodes using the Proximity option.
• Data Collection - Edit Formatted File. Changes to the Format file are now saved if the Format file is newer than the Instrument file.
• Data Collection - Download from Collector. TDS users only. Downloading the raw format is now working correctly. Previously, some raw information was lost in the transfer.
• Data Collection - Reduce. Geodat users only. Previously, if a Geodat label was not mapped to an SDMS tag, the reduction of the file stopped at that point. The rest of the file will now be reduced.
• Data Transfer - Import File. The Import File command has been optimized. This is most noticeable with large data sets.
• Data Transfer - Import File. The Caice CSV format now imports correctly.
• Data Transfer - Settings. AutoCAD/Graphics Engine users. The layers are now displayed in alphabetical order in the Select Layer dialog box.
• Drafting - Alignment Stationing. When you are selecting an alignment from the Defined list, the correct annotation style is now always being used. Previously, if you annotated an alignment, then changed the annotation style, the previous annotation style was used - not the one you just selected.
• Drafting - Shortcuts. The CRDL, CLO, CLPOC, CLRP and CRDL key-in commands now correctly align arrowheads and tails in a rotated view.
• Drafting - North Arrow. The north arrow scale text is now aligned correctly in a rotated view.
• Irrigation Design - Configuration. The Nozzle and Manufacturer buttons were reversed. They are now next to their respective edit fields.
• Irrigation Design - Equipment Table. If you have heads that have long names, the table will now automatically size itself to account for the longer name.
• Landscape Design - Plant Table. The Foliage Size and Foliage Surface fields are no longer inverted when placing all database fields in the drawing.
• Landscape Design - Tutorial. The tutorial manual has been updated to accommodate changes that have occurred in some of the commands.
• Profiles - Grid. In Metric projects the datum elevation text is now placed using the correct displacement distances.
• Profiles - Grid. The additional datum text is now placed using the correct displacement distance in metric projects. This results in the text being aligned with the grid lines now.
• RoadCalc - Generate Reports. The profile name and curve data are now getting printed for all profiles. Previously, the profile names were not being printed in all of the appropriate areas. When you selected to print All Profiles, the curve data was not getting printed for each profile.
• RoadCalc - Manage Surfaces. Now when you change the surface toggle between Strip and Normal, RoadCalc will update the end areas when the Manage Surfaces dialog box is closed. This forces the volumes to update.
• RoadCalc - Manage Typical. Error checking has been added to prevent more than 99 typical sections from being added to the manager.
• RoadCalc - Manage Utilities. The CAD Settings for each of the utilities are now displayed correctly. Previously if you selected a utility other than the first one, the Linetype/style and Text Style/Font were not displayed correctly.
• RoadCalc - Volumes. A strip surface is now being handled correctly when the Waste toggle is on for the surface. Before, the surface was always being treated as a normal surface, no matter if the surface was toggled as strip or normal in Manage Surfaces.
• Sewers - Details. The rainfall intensity values are now displayed correctly for Tabular Rainfall files. Previously, the tabular values were corrected using BDE coefficients. The values are now straight line interpolated from the table of values.
• Sewers - Hydraulic Profile. When you have a reference alignment, the ellipse that was shown in a junction due to an outgoing pipe was displayed at the wrong elevation. This problem has been resolved.
• Surface Modeling - Place Spot Elevation. A problem with multiple block definitions being placed into the drawing has been resolved. Previously, a separate block definition was generated each time a spot elevation was placed.
• Survey Adjustment - By Nodes. The initial backsight direction is now being read correctly when using a COGO batch file.
• Virtual Simulator - Create Path from Road. This command now works properly with the new Alignment database. This command did not work at all in version 2.4.0. You do not need to re-install Virtual Simulator - the Eagle Point 2003 3.1.0 version will take care of this problem.
• Water Surface Profiling - Extract From Surface Model. In some instances, the command would be very slow with extracting cross-sections for Fixed Cross-sections. The algorithm has been dramatically sped up.
• Watershed Modeling - Edit Modified Puls. The hydrograph is now properly updated when a change to the outlet structure or reservoir is done. Previously, the hydrograph would not update with a change to the reservoir or outlet structure.
• Watershed Modeling - Edit Stand Pipe. When using small increments for the stage while using an orifice, the stage/discharge curve may display an oscillating behavior. This has now been fixed.
