New build of Carlson 2015 / IntelliCAD 8.0 (150218) is posted

New Carlson 2015 / IntelliCAD 8.0 build (150218) is now available for testing.

Major change is the optional new Properties Pane component.
If you have experienced problems with Properties Pane in previous builds, you may want to try new one:
   1) Paste following command to the command line (including parenthesis) and hit Enter:
      (setvar "ENTPROPAPP" "proppalette.irx")
   2) Restart Carlson+IntelliCAD
After that new Properties Pane component will be used instead of old one. You should notice that it looks a bit different, more like AutoCAD's one.

If you want to switch back to old Properties Pane:
   1) Paste following command to the command line and hit Enter:
      (setvar "ENTPROPAPP" "")
   2) Restart Carlson+IntelliCAD

Some examples of other fixes included to the new build:
- ORTHO issue was fixed
- Fixed some MTEXT editor issues with indentation
- Solved problem with rotated symbols during printing
- Fixed some deadlocks on opening drawings / moving CRD points
- Some other fixes for IntelliCAD and Carlson Civil/Mining/Survey packages

Please let us know if you encounter any issue which will have to be fixed immediately or other issues which are new.
As always, if this build is problematic, the older patch can be used to restore.

Thank you,

Intellicad object linking...

Does the Intellicad platform support the object linking options?

• link points with CRD
• link linework with points
• link labels with linework
• link linework with centerlines

If yes, is there a plan for the implementation?

Thanks!

Toolbar Placement

Is it technically possible Intellicad to support placement of toolbars so they remain closest to the editing window? I am unable to position toolbars on the editing window side of the properties palette or between the editing window and the command console.

For me, I don't like to stack multiple toolbars and I really rather not have to pass over the properties and command windows so I tend not to use toolbar docked outside of them.

Thanks...

Printer Config with custom page size...

I create a printer configuration (PC3) file for 24"x48" sheet with the PDFCreator driver. To define the sheet I set the paper size to "Postscript Custom Page Size"

This shows up as a media size "User32767" in the printer configuration editor dialog. See:

When I go through the page setup dialog for my layout and choose my PDF24x48.pc3 the default page is defaulting to Letter.

I open the PC3 file in the config editor again and it shows the media size is set to "User257":

This relates to an additional problem when I open older files saved with page setups based on User32767 media size I always have to select the correct page size.

Thanks!

VBA in the Intellicad builds...

I just thought I would try to bring a VBA routine from Bricscad into Carlson but found VBA is not installed. I don't recall an option at install time but may have missed it.

Is VBA supported with Carlson Intellicad?

3D graphics adaptors...

I am currently considering replacing my desktop workstation. On that note, is there any advantage to a professional 3D card versus a good consumer card when using the Intellicad based products?

Triangulation problems when using Pick Referance Plane

Hi

I am having some problems with my triangulation files. The points I am triangulating from are a wall area and some overhang. To triangulate that correctly I twist the screen so it looks like a pond and triangulate using the Pick Reference Plane option. I choose to use the current view as the plane.

This will triangulate and draw the faces and lines correctly but the tin file itself contains wrong data. When I draw surface boundary using the applicable command I get the boundary far away. The same goes if I draw the surface, I will not get it drawn anywhere near where it should be. The drawing is in the twisted view of the surface and points triangulated but if you zoom extends you will see the boundary drawn.

Below is a link to the coordinate file, tin, dwg and all those zipped.

Layer states...

Hello, just wondering if the Intellicad group are actively working toward supporting layer states or if this is still down on the wish list.

Thanks.

Is anyone having problems upload point (text and raw) data files from data collectors to the .dwg? When I try to upload to the .dwg I get an error message asking me about 9pin and usb. I choose usb (which I have been using to date and in earlier versions), and it will not accept it.
