Carlson 2013 - Intellicad 7.2

Ortho does not work properly. When snapangle is set and ortho is selected, you cannot draw a line in the desired direction. Only goes north-south or east-west.

BOUNDARY ignores bulged segments...

Hi,

Running BOUNDARY command and selecting an internal point produces a boundary that does not include the bulge for arc segments.

BOUNDPL does work.

7.2 Carlson 13

Downloaded Carlson 2013, ICAD 7.2
no issues until I edited a road profile.  When the prompt asked to update the profile, I said yes
The Peak Working Memory Set is at 1.8GB, computer performance CPU usage at 53%
nothing worked, so I crashed out through task manager
I have Windows 7 with 8 GB of memory

Thanks,

Offset command is still a little rough around the edges.

I have noticed that when selecting the direction for the offset if the cross-hairs line up with the object that you are trying to offset (see left example) the command works fine but when your cross-hairs do not line up (see right example) it does not offset, it cancels the command, and if you hit enter to repeat the command it brings up the last command that you used prior to the offset instead of offset.  This is particularly bothersome when I am trying to offset a short line while zoomed out.  Definitely not working as smooth as AutoCAD yet.

crashes

I have been having crashes when editing poly lines or points... anyone else having such issues with the new build?...

MATCHPROP with MText

Intellicad version: 7.1.1644.53233.P

MATCHPROP does not appear to copy the justification for MText entities.

F2F NOT SETTING COLOURS FOR LAYERS

When I run f2f the only layers which come up with the correct colours are the point attribute layers and the Dual 3d Polyline layer all other layers are defaulting to white.

I have recently done a clean re-install to attempt solve some other issues and now it seems another issue has been created.

 I can view the F2F fld file are the settings are all Ok.  I cannot find any setting where this could be set. When I run F2F I have the BYLAYER selected for the linework and colour on the pull down toolbar.

Two viewports?

Intellicad version: 7.1.1644.53233.P

I don't really understand what is going on here but:

1. Switch to a layout tab
2. Run MVIEW to create a polygonal viewport (clipped) and click a few points to define it.
3. Select the viewport.
4. Open the properties panel.

For me, the properties panel indicates three entities are selected, 1 polyline and 2 viewports. I am expecting two entities to be selected, 1 polyline and 1 viewport.

I ran LIST on the selected group and it indicates only two entities are selected but it does list two viewports, or more correctly the same viewport twice.

Seems strange.

Here is the output from LIST:

Window Background Colour

When I have more than one document open the window background colour can only be changed in one.

1. Open two or more documents.
2. Change the window background colour using either the CONFIG dialog or (setvar "BKGCOLOR" #)
3. Switch the active document, the background colour is same as before the change.
4. In second document run the (setvar "BKGCOLOR" #) or CONFIG again to make the same change and it seems to be ignored.

Active document...

Hello,

It is possible to change the active document using Ctrl+Tab while a long-running task is active. Doing so has caused an infinite loop using full CPU resources. This was initially done inadvertently as I was rushing and thought the command had completed.

Example:

Open multiple documents with many layers and entities.
Run ISOLATE to isolate layers.
Run RESTORE to restore the layer visibility.
While RESTORE is running hit Ctrl+Tab to change the active document.
The CPU usage should remain high.

Update:

After testing it again the restore layers did complete after many minutes. Several orders of magnitude longer at full CPU than if the active document did not change.

I am having some issues with the Roads package.

1.setting up a median strip in Road templates is problematic. As for many other functions the help manual could be a bit clearer. The setup relies on a grade point in and out. Without knowing what order the program is calculating the grades this a little beyond my ageing brain.
2. When a median strip is selected, the subgrade does not extend to point selected in the subgrade such as edgeconc. It does not add the width of the median strip.
3. If a median profile is setup in can be saved, but then if you set one profile for the left hand side and then one for the right the editor appears to save the last one created for both sides. I would like to mirror one profile, but the grade in / grade out throws that a muck.
4. I have several instances of the program going into infinite loop when I have been moving between Road Network and the model space 
5. i have to submit this plan next week so it would be good if the issues were sorted.

PEDIT changes properties...

The polyline created when using PEDIT on a line or arc does not have properties matching the line or arc. I thought this was fixed before but perhaps not...

1./ Create and make active layer "1"
2./ Draw a line
3./ Change colour of the line to 1 (red)
4./ Create and make active layer "2"
5./ Set CECOLOR to ByLayer
6./ Run PEDIT and select the line, yes to create polyline.

The polyline is created on layer "2" with colour ByLayer but should be on layer "1" with colour 1.

ICAD 6.6 / 7.1 : Project directory setting...

Using Intellicad 7.1.1644.53233.P to open an existing dwg file:

• the project path in Set Project/Data Folders is W:\rba\88\8841\
• the current project file is W:\rba\88\8841\Carlson\Settings\8841-Design.prj
• Use Data Folder for Settings is enabled

Close the drawing and open with Intellicad 6.6.179.0.P:

• the project path in Set Project/Data Folders is W:\rba\88\8841\
• the current project file is W:\rba\88\8841\Carlson\Settings\8841-Design.prj
• Use Data Folder for Settings is enabled
• Open project explorer : File | Project | Project Explorer and no drawings are found since the path displayed for the files in the project explorer appear to be based on the  project file location (W:\rba\88\8841\Carlson\Settings\) instead of the project directory (W:\rba\88\8841\)
• close project explorer
• now the project path in Set Project/Data Folders is W:\rba\88\8841\Carlson\Settings\

Project explorer / Dwg save

Intellicad 7.1.1644.53233.P

If the project explorer panel is open and the save button on the standard toolbar is hit then the project explorer panel is all greyed out and cannot be closed.

The panel can be refreshed by opening the project file again File | Project | Project Explorer and then closing works.
