Important Information
If you would like to be notified
when a product update (patch) becomes available, Eagle Point
provides this service free. Whenever Eagle Point releases a new
patch, an e-mail message will be sent to notify you of the
availability of the patch and to provide you with a list of each
problem that has been corrected. You can then log onto our FTP
site (via our home page if you desire) and download the patch at
your convenience. If you choose to be notified via e-mail when a
patch is available, enter your email address at:

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
-
Eagle Point Graphics Engine and IntelliCAD 98 are no longer available CAD
configurations within the installation and therefore cannot be selected
during installation.
If you have previously installed Eagle Point to operate with one of the
these CAD configurations, it will continue to operate. Eagle
Point products will continue to operate on these CAD engines.
The Eagle Point Graphics Engine will no longer
be sold by Eagle Point and additional patches for the Graphics Engine will no
longer be available. Contact Eagle Point at 1-800-678-6565 for more
information.
- BricsCad 5.1 is now a supported CAD engine.
IntelliCAD 98 users changing to BricsCad only need to run the Configure
CAD Engine from the Eagle Point Administrator Program to "point"
to the BricsCad icad.exe file. Eagle Point Graphics Engine users changing
to BricsCad will need to run the Configure CAD Engine from the Eagle Point
Administrator Program to "point" to the BricsCad icad.exe file.
You will also need to request new authorization codes for BricsCad before
Eagle Point will operate with BricsCad.
- Windows 98 and Windows Me will no longer be
supported operating systems on the 2005 5.2.0 release. You will not be
able to install from CD or apply a patch on these operating systems.
- General: Eagle Point now supports the use of
periods in the path name for projects. Also supported is the use of periods in
the drawing/design file name.
- Process Library: When a step is modified
from one type to another, the icon now updates immediately instead of the
next time the Process Library is opened.
- Process Library: The key-in commands have
been added for the Sanitary Sewers product.
Drafting
- Alignment Stationing: Alignments that are
not in the current drawing/design file can now be annotated. This allows
you to reference in your alignment drawing/design file and place
stationing annotation in the current drawing/design file. The annotation
will not automatically update when an alignment is changed. However, when
the alignment is annotated again, the previous annotation will be removed
from the drawing/design file.
Plant Database
- Print: Images that are attached to plants in
the Plant Database will now display when printing using Microsoft Word
2003.
RoadCalc
- Offset Controlled Superelevation: Eagle Point now supports offset controlled superelevation.
Through the use of special PT codes (-22, -23, -24, -25 and -26), the superelevation limits of the typical
section will hold their offsets through the typical section rotation due to
super elevating. With this method the sub surfaces will remain parallel to the
surface above it when the typical section is superelevated. This results in the
outside slopes of the typical section being adjusted in order to maintain
offsets of the typical section. This new superelevation method only applies to
typical sections that have their sub surfaces extending out to the foreslopes.

- Profile Settings: For profile coordinate
systems set to the plan drawing, the coordinates will now update correctly
when using the PIC button.
- Cross Section Sheets: When the number of
cross section sheet drawings/design files created did not match the number
of cross section sheets in the listing, the software would not
automatically fix this disparity. This problem primarily happened when the
project was stored on a network drive. This issue has been
resolved.
- Profiles from PT Codes: When the profile
coordinate system is set to the plan drawing at coordinates other than X=0
and Y=0, the Profiles from PT Codes are now placed in the correct
location.
