(2012-07-15
Build
670)
Fixed: Some commands in CadTools where designed to remain active until user hits
ESC. This behavior didn't work as planned on localized versions of AutoCAD,
there were no other options than terminate CadTools when using these commands
(endless loop). The solution for this problem was to add a question on the
command line
"Continue this command? [Yes/No] <Y>:"
This reduces the simplicity while using these commands but
I couldn't find a better solution.
(2012-07-05
Build

664)
Fixed: Create Surface Command:
The option "Set Duplicate Tolerance" didn't work as designed. This option has
been changed to reduce decimals only. Filter Object Elevations is now applied
before the user select objects and the result of the filtering is displayd as
reducing of "Number of Points". Triangulation halted and reported duplicate
points on huge dataset, this has been fixed. Also added info about triangulation
time, this information is displayed in the status bar when all is done (saving
or plotting)Fixed: Pasting more then 32 000
rows from Excel into "Draw from Coordinates" resulted in a error, this has been
fixed.
(2012-01-16
Build

Fixed: Stationing command, Using zero for decimals could produce a decimal
separator at the end of the annotation
Added: Stationing command, Added option to get annotations at polyline elevation
(2012-01-16
Build
662)
Fixed correct number of decimals is shown in "Volume by Elevation". The
number of decimals is now always same as in your interval even if you type ".10"
Some users have problems canceling commands with ESC. I can't promise
this is fixed because I can't reproduce same
behavior
myself. I've done some changing in the code, hope
it helps.
(2011-12-31
Build
661)
"Check for updates" is rewritten and implemented.
Fixed bug: Vehicle turning command. Minimum turning radious
displayed incorrect value for units other than meters(2011-12-16

Fixed a bug in "Annotate Cross-Section" pasting table to a
nonexisting layer didn't work.
Added multiple axels for some vehicle types in the drawing output for Vehicle
Turning. There is no option for the user to manipulate this
(2011-10-23 Build 654) Added Layer Name same as
text in Draw from Coordinates (Text at Point). This option is useful if you get
a file with coordinates and a tag (text). You can easily create layer names same
as the tag and draw the text at that layer. (2011-09-05 Build 653) Fixed: Issue
with saving edited triangles, CadTools always claimed: "Couln't find any CadTools triangles to save (no matching X-data)". Changed: "Tranverse 3D lines
between 3D Polylines" has been changed. If elevation difference between the polylines was huge the offset din't work as expected. Offset was set to follow
the transverse line direction, now it is set to follow horizontal direction.
Changed: "Polyline area" command. Added messagebox with a warning if you have
3DPolylines in your selection.
(2011-09-01 Build 652)

Build
643)
Fixed: "Annotate Block elevations". Some bugs in text height, added number of
decimals.
Fixed: "Stationing", sometimes the last station was placed elsewhere (this bug
has been around for a while).
Fixed: User selection for
current AutoCAD-version wasn't saved correct, this could cause problems when
using multiple versions.
Fixed: Smoothed polylines isn't a supported linetype in CadTools! I've tried to
manage them but I gave up. I'm sorry but the solution is to change the polyline
property "Smoothing" to none before executing any CadTools command on the
polyline. User gets a message informing of a "Unsupported line".

elevation as the contour line.
Almost all commands could give odd values in other UCS than World. Now CadTools
rejects commands if the drawing isn't in the World UCS
(2010-04-28)
Filter for Object Elevations in
Create surface, this is handy if you would like to exclude certain elevations. This makes it easy to exclude objects with bad elevations before triangulation.
Fixed bug in
"Annotate Cross Section", using vertical exaggeration combined with "Add points
to table" resulted in wrong elevation value.
(2010-04-11)
Extended "Draw from Coordinates" with a Actions
options. This option is available for polyline vertecies and helps you to draw
multiple polylines on different layers.

this is handy if text is aligned and you want to use these coordinates in the
"Draw from coordinates" function.
(2010-03-30)
Fixed a couple of minor bugs: Annotate slope in
cross-sections didn't work for slope with 1:1. Fixed missing column headers for
exporting polyline length to Excel. Changed Freeze X-ref by layer to work
without stopping (ESC to Cancel) Polyline
length and area
calculations now has separate buttons for sending result
to Excel
(2010-01-17)
Added support for 64-bit AutoCAD.
New command:
Station equations” is
a simple method to deal with railroad alignments
(kilometers can be shorter or longer than 1000 meters). This method can be used
in with the “Draw from coordinates” to put text or block at correct station. To
make this method possible some changes has been done to the "Text and Block
Station/Offset from Polyline to Excel" command.
New command:"Annotate
Cross-Section/Profile Slope” is a new handy command for annotation of sections
and profiles.
New command:"MText Color override

endpoints of hundreds of polylines. The procedure is described in CadTools forum
(Tips and Tricks section)
(2009-11-01)
Drag'n drop surface files from Explorer to CadTools is now
supported. Added a new button for scaled length and annotation in one step
(Slope Mode).
"Draw from Coordinates", "Block at Station/Offset from polyline" now support
3D-polylines (how could I miss that?). Also added a setting for Block elevation
relative polyline elevation in the same command.
In the settings user can set a folder for reports and temporary files. This can
solve problems with read and write access under Vista.

Minimize property for all forms. Region area to
Excel (miscellaneous). 3DSolid volume to Excel (miscellaneous). Rotate
annotation for respond label (Mode Slope), rotation angle is found in settings.

Now you can use settings for decimals in Surface
cross Sections (settings)

Automatically refresh surface commands if a included surface has been
modified since loaded. Redesigned the "Transverse 3D-lines" command and added
option for elevation difference. Added annotation rotation to the "Stationing"
command. Fixed another bug in "Stationing" (lines with many short
vertices was rejected)Position marker option for the
"Table Edit polyline" command.

Fixed bug in "Stationing", turned off support for polylines with arcs in "remove
duplicate points"

Added text rotation to "Draw from
coordinates"

Fixed a bug in "Place Sloped text", added
rotation and layer name to "Export text to Excel"
(2009-08-16 Build 529)
Added vertical text with layer name for
reference lines in Cross-sections, great for annotation of borders n
cross-sections. Added "Line
start at:" in the Draw from coordinates, block at station. Useful if
alignment station is other than zero.
Updated reference manual!

Fixed a bug in the "Place sloped text", problem due localization (decimal separator)
(2009-07-28 Build 527)
Fixed a bug in the Create
3D alignment (Surface profile). If user picked left
vertical frame as elevation reference the resulting 3D line (alignment) was
wrong. Similar command in the Profile polyline worked fine.
(2009-07-24 Build 525)
Fixed a bug in the Join
3Dpolyline command. Changed behavior of the "Create 3D alignment" now you get a
question if you want to keep the unprofiled line in the drawing or replace it
with the profiled line. Changed the
triangulation command to create better triangulations, the breakline part has
been rewritten and seems to work more stable now. Added support for booth
3Dpolylines, polylines and lines in the "Multi offset command"

The Trickle and Trickle All command (Edit/View surface, Tools) wasn't
doing the job correct, sometimes the trace path stopped. This has been corrected
in this update. I was testing some refinement for the triangulate algorithm and
discovered that sometimes the algorithm could result in overlapping triangles,
this is corrected in the update (no refinement is implemented). Added "Zoom to
Surface View" in the "Edit/View" command, located under "Surface". This zooms
AutoCAD's window to fit the loaded surface boundaries.
(2009-06-30 Build 520)
Added new command. Under Miscellaneous you find a "Dist" command for horizontal
length and slope that can be used with Autocad's snap on. Fixed a bug in the
"Table edit polyline". Added "Northing/Easting" in column headers in the "Draw
from coordinates" command.

Made som enhancements to
constrained triangulation. Fixed
problems with "Create longitudinal features" in surfaces with holes. Added
option to simplify (weed) longitudinal fetures.

New command for
calculating Cut and Fill and component areas in cross sections. The command work for all
kinds of cross sections not only those generated by CadTools and it will manage
exaggerated scales. The result can be annotated as a table of points containing
offset and elevation and a cut and fill area. The table can be useful as input
in other software (Pizer EARTH's Cut & Fill Calculator)Surface profiles now support crossing lines
similar to the cross-section "Display references". The profile plot can be
annotated with major and minor ticks and labels, you can annotate surface
elevation for minor stations. A nice feature is displaying projected
lines in the profile, you pick 3D polylines in the
drawing and then CadTools displays it as a projection. This can be useful in
many cases, as an example you could offset a couple of lines from the profile
and drape them on the surface and finally display them as projected reference
lines. By this you can get information of the surface elevation at any offset
from
the profile line.New command, "Export Hatch area to Excel" useful for quantity calculations
New command, "Place sloped text" makes it easy to place elevation text based on
a basepoint and a slope.
