What's Changed in Eagle Point for 6.3.0

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

Note: There are some known issues with Map that cause Eagle Point problems. They are listed below:

  1. If you have a view rotation applied to your project, Autodesk Map 3D 2007 will set your view back to plan when the project is opened. Your cursor will not adjust to plan rotation. To correct this, simply perform the Zoom Previous command.
  2. When the Stylization is linked while zooming, you will continually see "Command" being written to the command line or text window. If you are in the middle of a command in Eagle Point and you dynamically Pan or Zoom, you will see "Command" repeated on the command line or text window when you finish the command. You may also notice the screen flickering as "Command" is repeated on the command line or text window. To prevent this from happening, you can unlink the stylization while zooming by clicking on the closed lock icon in the middle of the status bar in Autodesk Map 3D 2007. This will unlink the stylization and will display an open lock on the status bar. 
  3. When the Stylization is linked while zooming, you may notice the Undo command doesn't always work. When you press the Enter key to repeat the Undo command, you break out of the Undo command. You will typically see "MAPUICMDPICKSET" on the command line or text window. You will have to re-initiate the Undo command again to continue undoing operations. To prevent this from happening, you can unlink the stylization while zooming by clicking on the closed lock icon in the middle of the status bar in Autodesk Map 3D 2007. This will unlink the stylization and will display an open lock on the status bar.

Data Collection

Define Line Once: The Use Line Name as Counter option maintains the original definition of a line in the job through the entire job. For example, say you use line 1 in conjunction with an Edge of Pavement Field Code (e.g. EOP.1) in the job. Now later in the job line 1 is used in conjunction with a Sidewalk Field Code (e.g. SW.1). Since all occurrences of line 1 are now treated as ‘EOP’, line 1 at this point is considered to be an Edge of Pavement (EOP) as defined earlier in the job.

Redefine after Stop Designator: The Redefine after Stop Designator option allows for redefinition of the line, or counter, after a stop designator has been entered. For example, say you first use line 1 in conjunction with an Edge of Pavement Field Code (e.g. EOP.1) early in the job. Then at some point that line is stopped using a stop designator (e.g. EOP.1!). Now later in the job line 1 is used in conjunction with a Sidewalk Field Code (e.g. SW.1). Line 1 at this point is now associated with the Sidewalk Field Code used at that shot and will be defined as such through to the end of the job or until the line is stopped and re-used within that same job.

What's Changed in Eagle Point for 6.2.0

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.

Data Transfer

Drafting

Once the alignment is selected, the crossing annotation is placed. You will review the crossing annotation if a Review Method of All Annotation or Overlapping Annotation is selected. If the Review Method was set to None, the command is finished. You can edit the location of any crossing annotation using the Edit Annotation option. This option prompts you to select text. Select the crossing annotation that you want to modify. When you select a location on the same side of the alignment, the leader is drawn to the new location selected. When you select a location on the opposite side of the alignment, the annotation is flipped to the other side of the alignment. When you are done editing the crossing annotations, press the Escape key or the Enter key or right mouse button without selecting any crossing annotation. 

This command uses the Station/Offset settings for the selected Annotation Style. For best results, you should create a style that has only the Station value toggled on and has a justification of Middle Right. The annotation is automatically placed perpendicular to the alignment, so the Rotation in the annotation style should remain at 0 (zero). Since the Annotation Crossing command uses the Station/Offset settings for the selected annotation style, the CAD properties for the crossing annotation are controlled by the Station/Offset settings as well. A leader line is also drawn from the crossing location to the annotation with a 10% gap between the alignment and the leader and also between the leader and the annotation. The CAD properties of the leader line are controlled by the CAD Settings icon located on the Annotation Crossings dialog box. 

Existing annotation placed with the Annotate Crossing command can be erased in a couple of ways. If the annotation was placed for the selected alignment, toggle on the Erase All Existing Crossings for this Alignment. All annotation that is placed for the alignment will be erased and new annotation is placed. The other method is to select the Erase By Select button and graphically select a crossing annotation. All crossing annotation that was placed at the same time as the selected crossing annotation will be erased.

The Crossing Annotation is not dynamic. If the alignment is modified, the crossing annotation is not automatically updated. You will need to run the Annotate Crossing command again to have the crossing annotation reflect the changes made to the alignment.

The Update Sheet command will only update cross-section surfaces, cross-section annotation, utilities and utility annotation placed by Eagle Point. Any geometry or annotation you have placed to customize your cross-section sheets will be not be changed.
