Updates in GeoTools-CADPower V 17.19 & 17.20
Bengaluru, India
GeoTools V 17.20 Update
Enhancement: GT_PROFILE @ GeoTools -> Civil Tools -> Draw cross-sectional profile from 3D Polyline:
The GT_PROFILE command now has an option to space the multiple profiles in horizontal and vertical directions automatically.
If you chose this option, you will not need to pick the insertion point of each profile separately.
Translations Update: Many translations in the Brazilian Portuguese & German versions have been completed and updated.
CADPower V 17.20 Update
Command fixed: CP_ISOD (Menu: CADPower -> Layer -> Isolate Layer(s)): The CP_ISOD command is fixed now and working.
The CP_ISOD command is used to isolate (segregate) layer-wise data from large complex drawings.
It thaws and switches on the layers of selected objects and freezes all other layers in the drawing.
The CP_ISOD command provides two ways to select layers to isolate: by picking an object on the layer or by selecting from a list.
Note: CP_ISOD command stores the current layer settings as CADPower_ISO and can be restored using the CP_RESTORE command.
Translations Update: Many translations in the Brazilian Portuguese & German versions have been completed and updated.
CADPower V17.19 Update
Enhancement: CP_INIEDITOR (CADPower -> Miscellaneous -> File Management-> INI Editor):
The CP_INIEDITOR command has undergone some improvements. The ‘Replace’ button in the section data editing area has been improved, and it now applies the replace operation only to selected records. The ‘Edit Section’ dialog of the command now accepts multiple selection of records.
Enhancement: CP_TILEPLACE (CADPower -> BOM/BOQ Tools -> Place tiles / XY sized panels): In the last update, we added ‘Material Resources’ to the BOM-Q Quantity takeoff tool. This was enabled in the CP_FLEXITILE tool. In this update, we have extended the same to the CP_TILEPLACE command also.
The updated dialog now allows to specify a tile as 3D, as well as attach material resources to the objects.
There is also an option to automatically round off the Width and Height of a tile to the nearest specified value in X and Y.
The material resources and 3D information is stored in the tile object as XDATA.
