Civil Designer 2011: Build 7 RELEASED

General

CAD

1. Optimise speed of dragging of hatches with complicated or multiple regions or region elements.
2. Results of publishing layouts now sent to the Output Bar as they could overflow a message box.
3. Text and hatches are now made annotative when importing a DRG file.
4. Merging a DWG drawing into a survey drawing now prompts for the DWG import coordinate transform (None/Negate/Twist180).
5. Enabled tracking vertical/horizontal scroll for grids.
6. Change the draw order of hatch boundary entities so that they are drawn in front of the hatch. This is only relevant for the entity selection and intersection and autotracking boundary methods.
7. Default line style to continuous and line weight to 0.0mm in hatch toolbar so it is like AllyCAD 3.6. The current line style and weight are restored when exiting the Draw Hatch function.
8. Instant redraw when swapping between layout tabs after initial draw of the layout when no subsequent resizing of the window has been carried out.
9. Added "repeat last command" support to addons; by default all addon commands can be repeated.

Survey & Terrain

1. The old-style shift-D method of snapping to a DTM point has been re-implemented. A simpler method to achieve the same thing and more in line with the new CAD is just to use point snap on the DTM entity.
2. To reduce the time and required memory taken for a save, terrain proxy graphics are no longer stored in Windows 32-bit.
3. Closing the drawing or application shouldn't now cause a crash, only an out-of-memory error message. A known limitation here is still an unresponsive system, requiring the application to be closed and reopened.
4. Speedup found for Cross-section Extract with screen output on.
5. Speedup found for DTM redraw with no display settings on.
6. Speedup found in Terrain when closing Display Settings.
7. Survey and terrain menu items are greyed-out when in a layout view.
8. Starting a strings function with more than one string entity selected now gives you a chance to stop and be more specific.
9. Insert vertex will now stop asking for insertion points if you indicate the terminal of the edge being modified.

Roads

1. Speed up Cross section extraction.
2. When importing CivDes6 projects, also import the Road Expert status.
3. Make the dialog that displayes the cross section while doing cross section calculations sizable.
4. Allow closing of the dialog that displayes the cross section while doing cross section calculations.
5. Add wait cursor when coordinating horizontal alignment.
6. Speed up road layout drawing.
