New features include
When extending pipes we can now extend the pipe so it intersects the extending line perpendicular.
Ability to draw in a pipe along an arc
When copying pipes along a main we have some extra functions.As well as a simple displacement we can now create parallel lines and also draw 'knuckles' to give extra control.
Now can design pipe layout in acad or similar and we can import this into Ezigrade.
Extra videos and tutorials are coming soon to show how to use these new features.Foresofthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07397569451350473995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1029882176839629447.post-85506702994155673352024-01-23T17:04:00.001+11:002024-01-23T17:04:34.658+11:00Ezigrade 4.0.2.44Miscellanous fix's for Pipe reports:

(1) Fixed state plane to .ezigrade file for levelguide system
(2) When creating an AGD file we can send over the displayed contours
(3) When we are using a neighbouring UTM zone instead of the zone we are actually in. KML import now works and the background bitmap is displayed properly.
(4) Background bitmap from Bing was slightly out in its alignment.

(2) dynamic zoom improved. It used to slowly pan across screen when zooming.
(3) Drawing measurement sections stopped working.
(4) Pipe report - now includes full page screen shot.

(1) You can lock a pipe. This protects the pipe from being changed when you do a "set all constraints".
(2) New menu item to allow you to "lock selected", "unlock selected", "lock all", "unlock all".
(3) New menu item to change parameters for locked item only. Also options to only change a certain parameter. eg min grade and nothing else
(4) new menu item for "set all constraints" with options to only change a certain parameter.
(5) re-ordered the menu items so they are more in the order of doing things left to right
(6) added in a new parameter of offset. This parameter has a maximum distance. Setting this means the lateral can finish above the main and then joined with a vertical riser.
(7) when running pipes PDF report it checks first whether we need to recalculate, calc catchment areas, calculate pipe sizes etc
(8) The PDF report. Sections are smarter. If they are short we put up to 3 sections across the page.
(9) PDF report. Pipes displayed and plotted are in order of
1st main
1st submain
laterals
2nd submain
laterals
2nd main etc
(10) If the pipe doesn't have a valid solution we remove the depth constraints and draw a profile anyway. In the plan view we have a purple squiggly line on this pipe to easily find it.

Graphics is now aware of any graphics hardware acceleration and will use it if available. Screen redraws are much faster. We have created a routine that will show catchment areas.
