SiteNet

I have followed the steps in the SiteNet movie, without success. The create existing surface does not trim to the boundary polyline and the final surface is the design layers only and not merged to a new resultant tin.

The trg file created is always put in the project folder regardless of which subfolder you save it to. A copy is put in the project folder and is updated with most operations in SiteNet.

Feet/Inch option in Extend a line. If the job default is set to metric the fee/inch option in extend a line sometimes treats the feet as metres. It will work sometimes, and I cannot find the pattern when it does not work, it is almost random.

Won't open drawing

I just updated to the 120712 build and still can't open a drawing that opens with ease in ACADlt.  I removed all images and it still doesn't get past _open command. It works fine on dwgs created with ICAD 7.2.

XREF PROBLEM

I'm running 2013 7.2 build 120712
Windows Vista 4G

After inserting a XREF into my drawing and then closing the drawing, I am prompted to save the drawing that appears to work, but then I get the standard Intellicad message <Intellicad encountered a problem> and the lock up.

The XREF is saved but it's a pain restarting Intellicad every time.

Purge command dialog...

Items in the PURGE command dialog are not sorted. i.e. layer names and block names are not sorted.

Plotting problem...

I understand the plotting issue has been reported here and has been "escalated". I am aware it does not affect all users / systems.

Is there sufficient information about the defect to identify it or is there something the affected users can do to assist with the resolution of this issue?

Rotate in Intellicad 7.2 2013

I'm using build 120712 and when I use the rotate command the line work is not rotating correctly.

If I say rotate 10deg the line work is rotated 190deg

Plot Dialog Freezes Carlson 2013 ICAD 7.2

Carlson 2013, build 120712

ICAD 7.2.178854549.P.VC9X86

Windows 7, 8 GB ram

This occurred 3 times Friday and once already this morning.

After a couple of plots, when attempting another plot, the plot dialog will freeze.

All the selection fields are blank.  At this point ICAD/Carlson is locked up and it takes windows task manager to close it.

Then it either takes a full reboot of the system for the plot dialog to work again, or if the drawing is reopened and the menu is switched from Civil to GIS back to Civil, then it will work again.  Which I think means it is looking for a switch of some kind somewhere.

Without the reboot or the menu switching the plot screen continues to freeze everytime.

Carlson 2013, build 120712 - several issues

Insertobj – to insert a spreadsheet into a drawing does not work, “failed to create the item”

Wipeout – either from command or from button on toolbar does not allow existing polyline to be picked

Hydrology menu – very very slow response time in the dialog and numerous crashes, very simple pipe system, one inlet, one pipe, one headwall, crashed 4 times.

Editing of mtext inside of a twisted viewport, the text gets moved and rotated in model space.

Carlson 2013 Intellicad 7.2, latest test ver.

This version will not plot a paperspace layout. Dialog box appears with all fields empty. The computer freezes and all data since the last save is lost.
Love the properties dialog that is saved and re-appears each time you start the program..

Calculator cut/paste

I just installed 2013/7.2
So I'm using the calculator icon from the Inquiry icon menu.
why can I not copy the results?
Would it be difficult to include?  Do I need to set something so I can copy?

As a second question the snap to parallel command doesn't seem to be working; anyone else?  I tried both 2dp and line function.

Train has left the station or what has been keeping us busy.

Hello Everyone,

As you may have heard, we have been very busy getting Carlson 2013 with IntelliCAD 7.2 release out of the door. The product was released in the end of June and I know many of you have already installed and running it. This time, IntelliCAD 6.6 is not included (as well as AutoCAD 2000-2002 support), but IntelliCAD 7.2 is and it is official this time.

IntelliCAD 7.2 has received significant number of performance upgrades on the graphics end as well as few features. It also has newer DWG reading/writing engine which has better support for newer AutoCAD entities.

In meantime we have been keeping lookout for crash submissions from users on both IntelliCAD 7.1 and 7.2 and both have received many fixes as result of this input.

Some of the key changes:

-- Fix for keeping  plot jobs small has been included in 7.2 (not possible to port to 7.1, unfortunately)
-- Image problems with 7.2 were fixed after the release
-- Several deadlocks (hangups) have been fixed in 7.2 and more will come in next update
-- Problems with PDF attachments lead us to disable them in 7.1 to improve on stability with such drawings
-- Many crash fixes (both 7.1 and 7.2)

Carlson 2012 update (120712):
http://files.carlsonsw.com/mirror/patches/carlson2012/Carlson2012.exe (full install)
or
http://files.carlsonsw.com/mirror/patches/carlson2012/Carlson2012Update_icad7_install.exe (patch)

and

Carlson 2013 update (120711):
http://files.carlsonsw.com/mirror/patches/carlson2013/Carlson2013.exe (full install)
or
http://files.carlsonsw.com/mirror/patches/carlson2013/Carlson2013Update_icad7_install.exe (patch)

We are getting steady input from users on IntelliCAD 7.2, identifying problems and able to turn around fixes rather quickly, so these updates will keep coming.

We also intend to make another official (public) update to Carlson 2012, IntelliCAD 7.1 soon, which will probably be the last one for 2012 release.

Thank you for all the input,
Leonid

Xref and block screen resolution

Please let me know if there is a way to resolve the degredation of screen entities in blocks and xrefs. Zooming in and out the linework moves around and is notdepicted where it actually is located. If you bind and explode the blocks/xrefs the degedation goes away. This is a real problem in knowing for certain you are snapping to correct entities and just normal visualization.

Status of Blog?

Was this Blog / Forum limited to the Intellicad engine v7.1? Should all comment / issues be sent in as support requests now?

Surface Reports

I have measured points and I am comparing them to a surface file. Is it possible to get a report on all points above or below the surface?

I could make another tin file from the measurements and just use the daylight contour as a selection zone for points, but is there an easier way of reporting this?
