New Features
- [F0529] COGO - You can now repeat the last entered distance or direction in COGO by using the new Repeat option, or by using ++ on your numberpad.
- [F0759] Cut Sheets - You can now copy elevation values from as-built points to design points using the Cut Sheet tool.
- [F1392] First Available Point - A new command called FAP is available for querying the first available point ID in any range and setting that as the Next ID.
- [F1505] Georeferenced Images - A new command called GEOTIFF is available for inserting georeferenced images, including JPEG (.jpg/.jgw or .jpeg/.jgw), TIFF (.tif/.tfw or .tiff/.tfw), MrSID (.sid/.sdw), and JPEG2000 (.jp2/.j2w) formats. (Note, each image format must be supported by your AutoCAD engine.)
- [F1335] Inverse - You can now use the INVERSE command to calculate between any two selected points in the drawing, it is no longer restricted to only using points stored in the coordinate database.
- [F0961] Label Points - The "Label N,E of Point" command will now label N,E or E,N depending on the "Use E,N format" system toggle.
- [F1386] Licensing - You can now "snooze" the startup message reminding you about an expired or nearly-expired maintenance subscription plan for 14 days so that it does not appear every time you start the program.
- [F1391] Tables - Line Table, Curves Table, and MultiTies Table commands now have a "Use Point IDs" option to include the point IDs directly in the table body, rather than creating named references like "L1" or "C2".
Important Fixes
- [D4543] Areas - The FASTAREA command could crash if you did not provide a lot name.
- [D4021] ASCII Import - A crash could occur when importing an ASCII file exported from FieldGenius in "Standard With Header" or "Extended With Header" formats.
- [D4368] ASCII Import - A crash could occur when importing an ASCII file containing any points with a description longer than 50 characters.
- [D4485] Audit Database - Point IDs may appear garbled in the "Missing distance text from point1 to point2" messages.
- [D4464] Building Library - A building could not be added to a lot if your current layer was not white (color 7).
- [D2219] COGO - New points could automatically assume a Locked status.
- [D2970] COGO - New points could present an inappropriate default description, it now defaults to the last used description.
- [D4205] COGO - Pressing Esc to abort from the Lines, Points, or Toggles prompts would proceed to the next prompt with no value specified in the previous prompt - you are now returned to that previous prompt.
- [D4449] COGO - The dialog showing the 3-point inverse results was missing a graphic.
- [D4340] Contours - The Smooth Contour command would not work if you do not have an alias named EDITPLINE for the Edit Polyline command; it now uses PEDIT instead.
- [D4414] Contours - The Index Contour command would not work if you do not have an alias named EDITPLINE for the Edit Polyline command; it now uses PEDIT instead.
- [D3697] Coordinate History - Internal behaviour of coordinate history functions has been changed to avoid interference issues seen with some virus scanner applications.
- [D2630] Cut Sheets - The option to copy as-built descriptions to design points did not update the drawing.
- [D4598] Drawing Cleanup Wizard - The Purge options did not work.
- [D0644] FieldGenius Export - The DXF file could contain entities from paper space when using the "Use entire drawing" option to export a FieldGenius project.
- [D4430] FieldGenius Export - An "Unable to create entity (VIEWPORT)" error could occur when using the "Use entire drawing" option to export a FieldGenius project.
- [D4494] FieldGenius Export - An "Access is denied" error could occur when using the "Make a LandXML file" option to export a FieldGenius project in Windows Vista/7.
- [D4233] Help - The Help button on the Label Alignment command's Newpoint dialog did not work.
- [F0922] Inverse - Dialog position is now retained, instead of always opening up in the middle of the screen.
- [T0647] IPN Labels - IPN Labels performed poorly when Hardware Acceleration was enabled inside AutoCAD; Hardware Acceleration is now being turned off by default (but can be turned back on if preferred).
- [T0647] IPN Labels - The IPN labels were being displayed incorrectly during the 3DORBIT command; they are now suppressed until the orbit command is finished.
- [D4482] IPN Labels - The IPN labels were being displayed incorrectly when a paper space viewport was activated, they are now suppressed until the viewport is inactivated.
- [D4397] LandXML Import/Export - LandXML import and export commands would not work, and an "ARX Exception" message would result.
- [D4403] LandXML Import - When importing a file with a surface model, it could not be drawn as a Polyfase Mesh during import.
- [D4404] LandXML Import - When importing a file with many (more than 128) parcels, only the first 128 would import.
- [D4120] Licensing - When starting the program with a MicroSurvey STAR*NET license key connected, the error message now identifies the problem more clearly.
- [D4429] List Unused Points - The List Unused Points command was extremely slow, it now takes about 1 second instead of over 3 minutes previously.
- [D4352] Open Project - A crash could occur when opening drawing with inCAD if the database contains a corrupt date field.
- [D4415] Polyline Utilities - The Delete Polyline Vertices (_pedit_rd), Insert Polyline Vertices (_pedit_ri), and Interpolate Polyline Vertices (_pedit_rz) commands would not edit the polyline.
- [D3499] Project Manager - The default 10-second delay when opening the Project Manager before the Open and New butons could be pressed has been removed, instead the Project Manager now will not appear until AutoCAD has completely finished loading.
- [D4467] Project Manager - The Open and New commands are no longer highjacked by the Project Manager, so you can still use the standard Open and New commands.
- [D4364] Sheet and Title Block - ATTREQ variable setting could prevent being prompted for attribute values.
- [D4362] Sheet and Title Block - The Layout Insertion method would produce an "scale viewport with mvsetup" error and not set the viewport scale as specified.
- [D4232] Shift Points - A crash could result from entering an invalid entry in the From Point or To Point fields.
