for station setups and for check point reporting. Added option to specify the traverse control points in a list of the points and with a graphic preview. With graphics window, new feature to highlight graphic
lines and points for the selected spreadsheet record and likewise the associated spreadsheet record will highlight when a line or point is selected in the graphic view. Reorganized reports with sideshots and
closure active to show the closure at the top of the report and report the traverse shots separately from the sideshots. Added more details for the Check Points report. For the modify measurements function, any
changes are recorded to the rw5 file and added an option for a description filter. On processing, when a referenced backsight point doesn't exist, the program has options to enter the backsight coordinates,
enter the backsight angle or return to the editor. Added startup option whether to prompt for the rw5 file and added an exit option whether to automatically save changes to the coordinate file or prompt to save.
Added a toolbar within the editor for common functions. Added another spreadsheet color setting for different colors between traverse and sideshot measurements.

graphics view. Improved processing speed. Improved 3D adjustment model. Added support for level data into 3D adjustment. Added support for control points and multiple angle sets from rw5 files. Improved initial
coordinate calculations to handle two or more control points anywhere in job. Added support for Topcon .TVF vector files. Added support for LandXML GPS vector data. Added the averaging of the same control point
coordinates while preprocessing data. Added import for Topcon digital level data.
Distance and Angle Input All COGO input fields for distances and angles support reading point numbers, units conversion and processing formulas.
Edit Points Added undo function. Added ability to sort by any of the columns in the spreadsheet.
Edit Point Attributes Added setting for the elevation label decimal places.
Edit Multiple Point Attributes Added selection method to pick point by point group or point numbers. Added setting to control the decimal places for the elevation labels.
HOT NEW Coordinate History All changes to the coordinate file record
the command and status to make a coordinate history that can be reported by point number or by command. Commands like Drawing Inspector and Point Snap show the most recent history for each point. All changes can
be rolled back.
NEW Move Point With Leader New command to move point attribute labels and draw dynamic leader to point node.
HOT NEW Fix Point Attribute Overlaps New command to adjust point
attribute labels to avoid overlapping labels. Applies adjustment methods in user-specified order and tolerances. Steps through any remaining overlaps in an Overlap Manager with ability to manually move labels.
This point overlap feature is also available within the Draw-Locate Point and Field To Finish commands.
Scale Points For the combined factor method, added the option to apply the geoid for the ellipsoid height for the elevation factor.
Import Text/ASCII File Added option to draw imported points by Draw-Locate Points or Field-to-Finish.
Export Text/ASCII File Added option to output point note data.
Coordinate File Utilities Added Helmert 7-parameter method for local transformations. Added function to swap northing-easting within the coordinate file. New Merge Points
Manager for handling point conflicts when combining coordinate files.
NEW Linework Intersection Points New command to create points at all the intersections between the selected linework entities.
Interval Along Entity Added option whether to label elevations on the new points and added option to set same description to all the points.
Label Station Offset Added options whether to label parallel or perpendicular to the centerline and whether to draw leader.
Offset Point Entry Added method to enter increment distances. Added option for cross slope percent and vertical delta-z when using a reference elevation.
NEW Set Point Elevation By 3D Polylines New command to assign elevations to points by referencing 3D polylines.
Closure By Point Numbers Added support for entering a range of points or point group.
HOT NEW Deed Reader New command to extract deed line and curve data
from the text of a deed. Shows the deed data in a spreadsheet and graphically. Deed data can be saved to deed file, drawn and reported.
Process Deed File Changed deed editor to a spreadsheet with dynamic graphic window to show deed perimeter.
NEW Deed Linework ID New commands to report deed name associated with selected linework. Deed commands that draw deeds now attach the deed name
to the linework.
Deed Correlation Added the ability to apply the alignment to the points and select drawing entities. New report function to compare the survey and deed points before
alignment. Added delta x,y to the Check Align report.
Lot Layout Added method to specify number of lots to equally divide whole area between them. Added method to define backlot by max setback distance instead of linework.
Create Lots Added the option to draw any new points for all the Create Lot routines.
NEW Lot File By Interior Pick New command to create a lot by picking a point and having the program figure the enclosing linework.
HOT NEW Lot File Manager New command that combines Input-Edit Lot,
Draw Lot and Report Lot into one command. New spreadsheet data entry for lot data with dynamic graphic preview. Added functions to change direction of the lot, to change the point of beginning for the lot and to
save and load lot name selections.
Label Coordinate New option to label the delta x,y and/or z between two points. Added setting to draw label at real z.
