CAD Engine
|
|
- Complete new CAD Engine - Built on the AutoCAD 2007® OEM Engine.
- Full AutoCAD Drawing Support - Reads and writes all AutoCAD drawings (.DWG, .DXF), including AutoCAD 2000 and later.
- Layouts - Ability to generate multiple layouts (or paperspaces). Layouts provide a WYSIWYG preview of exactly what will plot before the drawing is plotted reducing plotting errors. Non-rectangular viewports are
also supported. Viewports can be locked to keep the scale from changing.
- Digitizing - Ability to connect to a WinTab digitizer for input.
- MDI Interface - Multiple Drawing Interface means that you can open and work with multiple drawings at the same time. Switch between drawings at any time. Cut, copy, and paste between open drawings.
- Full Time Command Line - Command line is permanently enabled. The old Carlson Survey method of using "Quick Keys" is no longer necessary.
- Symbol Names - Symbol names have been extended from 31 to 255 characters including special characters such as spaces, allowing for flexibility in naming.
- Lineweights - Industry standard lineweights can be assigned on a per object or per layer basis providing WYSIWYG presentation quality drawings on screen.
- Internet Access - Carlson Survey has Web aware file access which enables the customer to open drawing files (DWG, DXF, etc) directly from a web site.
- Hyperlinks - Ability to attach Internet hyperlink addresses and descriptions to Carlson Survey objects or graphics.
- Electronic Plot - The ePlot provides an electronic plot of a drawing file (or an equivalent layout) in a secure, Internet-ready, neutral file format, DWF (Drawing Web Format).
- Plotting Enhancements - New plotting user interface and improved architecture together with drawing layouts enable WYSIWYG plotting. Plotting data is saved in the drawing. Plot styles enable the application of
screening, lineweight, linetype, gray scale, end joint style and fill patterns. Ability to plot multiple copies. Ability to plot multiple layouts at once. Paper sizes are now dictated to Carlson Survey
based on the plotting device.
- Partial Open - Increase overall performance and productivity by opening a portion of a drawing based on specified layers.
- Object Filtering - New Qselect command allows you to filter a selection set. Include or exclude the objects that meet the select criteria into a new selection set.
- Object Properties Manager - Replaces approximately 40 different editing commands and dialogs with one very simple 2 column formed based editing tool. The Properties dialog is resizable, dockable, it remembers
its last position, size, and docked state. Drawing properties are displayed when no object is selected. Object properties can be quickly accessed since they can be organized in general categories or
alphabetically.
- Context Menus - Extensive right click support with context sensitivity throughout Carlson Survey. Right clicking on the graphic screen with no geometry selected enables access to basic CAD and Windows editing
commands. Right clicking while in command mode, parses all command options to the right click menu. Right clicking with a selection set active enables access to the specific object editing commands.

Surveying, Drafting Tools
|
|
- Area By Closed Polylines - New command to report the areas of the selected closed polylines.
- Break By Closed Polyline - Now handles more entities and polylines with arcs.
- Change Block/Inserts - Added option to screen pick the symbol in addition to typing the name.
- Change Polyline Linetype - Added several new linetypes. More than 55 linetypes are now available, not including user defined.
- Coordinate File Utilities - New function to switch the format of the current coordinate file between numeric and alphanumeric point number format.
- Cut Sheet - New option to create a report based only design station and offset without survey data. This report can then be used to make labels before stakeout. New controls for settings the decimals places for
X,Y coordinates separately from the elevations. Added options whether to report points missing in the design or survey file. When using the report formatter, the cut and fill fields can be separate columns and
there are separate options for whether to report the design and survey northing, easting and description. When comparing coordinate files, the names of the coordinates files are included in the report title. For
comparing points from the same coordinate file, there is a dialog for matching points to compare. This dialog allows for assigning multiple design points to the same survey point. Also this dialog has a function
to automatically match points based on a specified tolerance distance. When comparing points, there is a new setting for distance tolerance to flag points in the report that exceed this tolerance.
- Design Pad Template - The inside slopes option has a new option to go to a set elevation. For outside slopes, there is a new option to specify different slopes on different sides.
- Draw Legend - Legend entries can be set on or off by matching selected entities from the drawing. Symbol color has been added as a defined attribute for legend entries.
- Draw-Locate Points - This command now uses the Points Defaults option for using the Field-To-Finish code table for the point layer and symbol. Added new option to erase existing duplicate points already in the
drawing.
- Drawing Inspector - New command to show entity information as pointer is dragged over entities. Available data includes entity layer name, elevation, bearing-distance, etc.
- Edit Polyline Vertex - This routine now highlights the polyline vertices. The coordinates are edited in a dialog and there is a new option to set the elevation by a slope from a neighboring vertex.
- Enter Deed Description - New option to output deed data to a raw (.RW5) file. Another option whether to draw linework. For non-tangent curves, added the option to specify the curve by radial bearing.
- Field To Finish - The Report Code Table routine now uses the report formatter to customize the layout of the report. In the main dialog, added a function to search and find a code in the table. Each code now has
the option for complete control of all the point attribute layers for point number, elevation, description and symbol. Also codes now can set the point attribute layout format. New code setting to set the
elevation label of a code to none. New JPN special code to join linework to a specific point number. New JOG special code for entering "jogs" to draw linework with left and right perpendicular offsets. New RECT
special code to close the linework as a rectangle. Also RECT code can be used with user-specified offset distances and two points to create a polyline rectangle. Changed the behavior of the CLO special code to
both close and end the linework. For the SZ code, if no size number follows the SZ code in the description, then the next point is used to size the symbol. New companion codes settings to allow connecting
linework between different codes. Codes can contain a '*' for wildcard matching with point descriptions. In the Draw Points & Lines function, there is a new option to pause and prompt when a description is
not defined. At the stage of the Draw Points & Lines and Draw Lines Only dialogs, added the option for linework real Z as either on (3D), off (2D) or by code. For drawing point elevations, there is a new
option to put brackets around the elevation label. Added support for processing Eagle Point style coding.
- Import/Export SHP Files - New routines to import and export ESRI shape (.SHP) files.
- Insert Symbols - Before drawing a symbol, this routine now detects if a point symbol is already there and prompts whether to erase the old symbol.
- Interval Along Entity - Added option to have different intervals for straight and curve segments of a polyline. Another new option to create points at the endpoints.
- Label Coordinates/Elevation - New options to label elevation only and to prompt for the elevation. Added option for commas in the numbers. Also the coordinate order can be X,Y or Y,X. New option to pick the
angle of the label text instead of being horizontal.
- Label Station/Offset - New option to select the points to label by drawing selection set. New layout method for perpendicular at a fixed offset. The label text size can be set in this command instead of having
to run Drawing Setup.
- Legal Description - Added option to report angles in azimuth format.
- Map Check - Added area into the report.
- Offset - Standard Offset command is now included in addition to 3D Offset command.
- Offset Dimensions - New option to turn off the endpoint object snap when picking the second point.
- Point Object Snap - New object snap method that shows point data in a context menu as the cursor is moved over points. Picking will snap to the node of the point.
- Profiles - New commands to create, edit and draw profiles. Multiple sheet profiles use new layouts.
- Raw File Conversions - Added more support for C&G, MapTech and Russian 3TA5 formats. Added export routine to convert RW5 to SDR and Caice formats. More support added to Leica raw file conversion to handle
multiple simultaneous direct-reverse shots and to handle C&G style linework coding.
- Remove Polyline Vertex - This routine now highlights the polyline vertices and keeps removing points until Enter is pressed.
- Station Polyline/Centerline - New settings to control the layers and sizes for the text and station marks. New option to pick points to station. When creating points, there are new options to specify a profile
and cross slopes to set the elevations of the points.
- Text Import - New dialog interface, more options.
- Translate Points - Added ability to define translation by selecting points on the screen. Also added option to output results to a separate CRD file.
- Write Polyline File - Now handles lines and arcs in addition to polylines.
