Important Notes

Activating or Updating your USB License Key

If you are licensing MicroSurvey CAD for the first time you will need to activate your new USB License Key using the USB License Manager program on a computer with internet access.

If you are upgrading from a previous version of MicroSurvey CAD 2016, you will need to update your existing USB License Key using the USB License Manager program on a computer with internet access.

If you are upgrading from MicroSurvey CAD 2015/2014/2013/2010/2009/2008, you will need to update your existing USB License Key using the USB License Manager program on a computer with internet access.

If you are upgrading from MicroSurvey CAD 2005 or previous, you will need to activate your new USB License Key using the USB License Manager program on a computer with internet access.

A copy of the USB License Manager program is automatically installed with MicroSurvey CAD, or it can be downloaded from our online Helpdesk system and installed separately onto another computer which has internet access.

Please refer to the following topic for detailed instructions about activating or updating your key.

You might not be required to update your USB key to run certain MicroSurvey CAD service pack updates. For a detailed explanation of MicroSurvey's Annual Maintenance Subscription (AMS) program, and how we use product version numbers and USB keys, you can can refer to the following online article.

If your AMS has not yet expired, you can use the USB License Manager to update your key to work with the most current version. You can confirm the expiry date for the AMS by going to the About screen found in the Help menu. Each USB License Key has its own maintenance subscription plan, so if you have multiple keys it is possible that they may each have a different expiry date.

If your AMS has expired, you can phone us at 1-800-668-3312 or 1-250-707-0000 to renew it. Without a current maintenance subscription plan, you may not be able to update your key to work with the new version.

MicroSurvey Transfer Program for FieldGenius Users

FieldGenius users need to download a copy of the MicroSurvey Transfer program to simplify the process of transferring FieldGenius projects between your data collector and MicroSurvey CAD.

If you have a copy of MicroSurvey Transfer already installed from use with MicroSurvey CAD 2010 or previous, you will need to update it to recognize MicroSurvey CAD 2013 or newer. Previous versions of MicroSurvey Transfer will not show MicroSurvey CAD 2015 as a sync option in the Options screen.

The MicroSurvey Transfer program has not changed since the release of MicroSurvey CAD 2013. This is only necessary for users who are setting up communications between FieldGenius (any version) and MicroSurvey CAD (2013 or newer) for the first time.

MicroSurvey Transfer can be downloaded from our online Helpdesk system.

Note: A copy of Microsoft ActiveSync (for Windows XP or earlier) or Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center (for Windows Vista or newer) must be installed before MicroSurvey Transfer can be installed. Both can be downloaded free from Microsoft or from the MicroSurvey helpdesk.

MicroSurvey License Server for Network License Users

Users who have purchased a network license will need to install a copy of the MicroSurvey Network License software.

If you have purchased a Network License and are setting it up for the first time, you can download the Network License Server application from our online Helpdesk system.

The MicroSurvey Network License Server program has not changed significantly since the release of MicroSurvey CAD 2008. This is only necessary for users who are setting up a MicroSurvey CAD 2008 or newer network license for the first time.

Note: You will be required to enter a password in order to install the Network License Server.

System Requirements

MicroSurvey CAD 2016 is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, and Windows 10.

MicroSurvey CAD 2016 does not have any hardware requirements above and beyond what is required by your version of Microsoft Windows, aside from a compatible video card for the 3D Rendering engine.

Please refer to this online article for a list of compatible video cards.

MicroSurvey CAD 2016

Release Date: November 30, 2015

New Features

Powered by IntelliCAD 8.1

MicroSurvey CAD 2016 is built on the latest IntelliCAD engine, IntelliCAD 8.1a.

IntelliCAD 8.1 is a major release that supports Windows 10, and includes support for 2015 .dwg file format for both 32-bit and native 64-bit platforms.

IntelliCAD 8.1 now supports multi-core processing when opening and regenerating files, which provides a 1.5 to 3 times performance improvement on multi-core computers. IntelliCAD 8.1 also includes opening and exporting .dgn files, annotation scaling, publishing drawings, printing to .dwf (or .dwfx), .png, and .jpg files, drawing helices and revision clouds, lofting and sweeping entities, creating polysolids, and various other new commands such as SETBYLAYER, XPLODE, TXT2MTXT, and AUTOCOMPLETE.

In addition, more than 1600 issues have been resolved during the 8.1 and 8.1a product development cycles.

See below for additional details about what's new and fixed in IntelliCAD 8.1.

Point Cloud Module powered by Leica EpcA

MicroSurvey CAD 2016's Point Cloud module is built on the latest Leica EpcA engine , and is compatibile with Leica Cyclone 9.1.1 and Leica JetStream 1.0.1.

Leica EpcA is the same point cloud engine that powers other Leica applications including Cyclone and CloudWorx.

Point cloud data in various formats from other manufacturers can be imported.

Point Cloud in CAD Model Space

Point Cloud data is now displayed directly within your CAD model space, and you can snap to the point cloud points using standard CAD tools.

Dozens of new point cloud tools are now available for working with your point cloud data.

The external Point Cloud Line Work window which was used in MicroSurvey CAD 2010-2015 is no longer required.

Import Collada Models

Import .kmz or .dae models downloaded from the SketchUp 3D Warehouse, an online repository containing millions of 3D symbols.

Imported models are automatically added to your Symbol Library so they can be reused easily in other drawings.

AutoMAP Library Group Codes

Two new grouping options have been added, which can dramatically simplify your AutoMAP Library and make initial configuration much faster and easier.

Use the new Group Codes option to use a single AutoMAP Library entry for multiple, related point descriptions. For example, use a ROADING group code for all all your roading-related field codes like CL,EP,EG,EA, etc.

Use the new Group Range option to use a single AutoMAP Library entry for all points in a specified range. For example use a ROADING group code for all points in the 2000..2999 range, etc, regardless of their actual field code.

Join 3D Polylines

The Join command has been updated to support 3DPolylines.

The Edit Polyline command has been updated to support joining 3DPolylines.

Inverse Points to Alignment

You can now quickly inverse a list of points to a specified road alignment.

Quickly tabulate the station, offset, cut/fill (delta Z), slope distance, and slope grade.

Active Traverse Editor: Scan Records

Scan records are now created in the traverse file upon import from FieldGenius or Leica Viva/Captivate projects containing Leica MS50/MS60 scans.

Field errors such as an incorrectly specified backsight point ID or direction, instrument height, and more can be corrected in the traverse editor so that the cloud can be retransformed to the correct position and orientation.

Global Mapper Improvements

Many improvements to the global mapper command, including performance improvements, support for more coordinate systems, and bug fixes.

Imagery is now printable via the PRINT command.

MicroSurvey CAD 2016 SP1

Release Date: May 31, 2016

New Features

Powered by IntelliCAD 8.1b

MicroSurvey CAD 2016 SP1 is built on the latest IntelliCAD engine, IntelliCAD 8.1b

IntelliCAD 8.1b include over 140+ fixes since the IntelliCAD 8.1b release which powered MicroSurvey CAD 2016, including automatic workspace saving and improved stability with NVidia Quadro video cards.

See below for additional details about what's new in IntelliCAD 8.1b.

MicroSurvey CAD Ultimate: Scanner QA Protocol Reports

A QA Report that validates that your Leica ScanStation scanner is operating correctly can be generated.

Two-face scans performed on a Leica Target will result in a report showing the difference between the target coordinates as computed on each face.

Scans performed on a Leica Twin Target will result in a report showing the differences between the target dimensions as scanned and the target dimensions as independently calibrated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
