CDS 4.0.0.35

The Contour -> Interpolate -> Point Heights routine has been speeded up.

CDS 4.0.0.34

Improvements to the Importing Trimble JXL files. Now supports "RoundRecords" "Mean turned angles" etc.

Ezigrade 4.0.0.173

Ezigrade now has a routine to run a rainfall simulation. See how the water runs across the picked up surface Compare with water run-off on the design surface. Make sure there is no ponding. To run click on the "Rainfall" icon on bottom left docking pane icon bar. Documentation coming soon. Have a look in the Support -> Ezigrade Videos for a support video.

CDS 4.0.0.33

Fixed up a bug from last update. String -> Attributes was not updating string ID's, areas etc.

Ezigrade 4.0.0.171

Outlets may now join to another Outlet. As before outlets need to be clicked in from the outlet to the source. If you want a child outlet to join to a parent, then simply enter the child with its outlet inside an existing outlet. When you grid the outlets. Grid the parent first and then grid the child. Documentation and video's coming.

CDS4.0.0.9 and Ezigrade4.0.0.170

CDS Bug fix for LAS GIS import. CDS & Ezigrade: Alignment of Bing map background images has been improved. The rotation has been improved.

CDS 4.008

The Options -> QA Routines -> Check Breaklines Interrogate breakline issues such as "crossing breaklines" and "points on breaklines". We have some menu items to make on the fly adjustments.

Ezigrade 4.0.0.169

Importing AG3 - couple of improvements in creating design and cut/fill surfaces.

cds 4.007

Miscellanous fix's: Join command now shows a difference in height and a difference in design height. Drawing triangles on screen was ignoring the triangle color in File -> Plot Parameters -> Contours now fixed. Bug fix in import DWG. Possible overflow in point code.

CDS 4.006

Some bug fix's in roadworks. Could get confused with multiple roads. Cross section printing routines could crash on section plots.

CDS 4.005

Import LandXML: Was ignoring first point if it's position was at 0,0

Ezigrade 4.0.0.168

You can right click on a section or drainage node and enter a coordinate. If you know the coordinates you can click in a rough position and fine tune the position using calculated coordinates.

CDS 4.004

Doing a File -> Save As could cause a crash. Now fixed.

CDS 4.3

Importing stopped working. Internal error finding CDS4 in memory. Fixed.

Ezigrade 4.0.167

When creating a topcon civil tn3 file. We now put in the filename to the file to make navigation easier in a Topcon Civil system.

Ezigrade 4.0.166

AGD export using gridded data was ignoring the surface selected and using the first design surface in the job. Importing AGD files could fail in northern hemisphere.

CDS 4.2

Join now has an option to set an Azimuth. A handy feature for example if you have a job in UTM but want the grades relative to true north. Linetypes stopped working after all the data went into the "programdata" directory. Now fixed.

CDS 4.1

This is a major revamp of CDS3. When doing road design you can see in plan view the road design as you design profiles and sections. You can see straight away if there are issues at sharp corners. Easy to pick problamatic sections and delete them. Easy to see if we need extra sections in an area if natural surface changes quickly. Change a profile or template section and see the result straight away. (You need to hit recalc button)

We have made thesame changes to Pad design so you can see what we have as we go. Roads and Pad design now have a merge button. This creates a new design surface so we can send the design straight to machine control via appropriate export function in CDS or Ezigrade. We have changed the location of some of the data associated with CDS. Originally it was under the "Program Files(x86)" in a sub-directory; but this is a windows protected directory. So if you don't have admin access it wasn't possible to modify things here. In version 4 we have this data under ProgramData -> Foresoft -> CDS4

Ezigrade 4.0.165

Drain sections. Improved the variable grade routine that tries to equalize cut/fill volumes as we proceed along the drain. Thus minimising haulage distances.

Ezigrade 4.0.1.164

Tributaries/ponding display. When printing they could be shown in the incorrect position.
