Important Fixes in MicroSurvey CAD 2013 SP1.1
- [D6121] AutoMap Library - An AutoMap Library located outside of the default folder could not be automatically opened, so the mscad.csv library would load instead.
- [D6054] Check For Updates - The online updater command did not check to confirm that your USB license key has already been activated for the update available for download.
- [D6203] Import FieldGenius - The SyncWizard Import command did start in the correct default folder.
- [D6066] Import Leica DBX - If multiple DBX databases are imported into a drawing, only images referenced in last imported database were accessible. All images and scans imported from multiple Leica DBX databases and MicroSurvey FieldGenius projects are now accessible.
- [D6157] Import Leica DBX - Figures are now imported as 3D by default instead of 2D.
- [D6168] Import Leica DBX - A new option was added to process linework using either the figure code (as previous) or the point code from the first point on the figure.
- [D6045] Render - A performance issue when rendering Text entities is resolved via a new "Render Text" view option which prevents rendering of all text entities for improved performance.
- [D6095] Render - The Rendering commands were missing from the View menu, they are now accessible via View | Rendering | Render, etc.
- [D6083] Status Bar - The Graphics Mode indicator (OpenGL or BMP) was missing from the status bar at the bottom of the main interface.

- [D6123] Surface Modeling - In the Surface Color Options dialog, when "Drawing Legend" is enabled it may not drawn onto the same layer as the surface.
- [D6045] Point Cloud Linework - A performance issue when rendering Text entities is resolved via a new "Render Text" view option which suppresses the rendering of all text entities for improved performance.
- [D6122] Point Cloud Linework - When drawing in the point cloud viewer, the CAD display did not immediately update until the mouse was moved over the drawing area.
- [F2227] Point Cloud Linework - When drawing in the point cloud viewer, the AutoMap Library did not control how linework is drawn (including: layer, linetype, 2D/3D, Lines/Polylines).
