Ezigrade 4.0.0.86

Couple bug fixs

• smoothing could be incorrect close to section lines
• some grading constraints were not being used - could happen if triangles are lying along the direction of the axes.

Changed the way layout was being saved. It was being saved everytime you closed the program. The problem was users were deleting some of the side docking bars; and program would start up in the same state.

You now need to explicitly save the layout. Go to windows -> Save Layout.

CDS 2.8.0.70

More options in point listings.

We have added in another radio button so that we now have the option of listing latitude/longitude in both degrees ,minutes and seconds or decimal degrees.

1. The position of the left vertical margin is stored when program exists. When program is re-opened this position is restored. Particularly good for things like a surface pro tablet.  However remember under options we can change the style from desktop to tablet and tablet small.

2. The design style (ie plane, variable or AllWay) can be set as a default. Look under Fields -> Defaults. Users in surface irrigated areas , would set as a plane while dryland users may prefer the AllWay option by default. 

3. We can now set the major and minor contour intervals. Look under Contours -> Surface Parameters and click on "Save Defaults".

4. We can now set thickness of both major and minor contours. Look under Contours -> Surface Parameters.

We have added in a structure called an "Outlet". This is a simplified drain used in conjunction with the AllWay grading. You can simply sketch it in; fill in a minimal number of parameters and the grading algorithm optimises the solution taking into account the outlet or outlets.

For more details look at our online manual.

When exporting job to dwg/dxf and doing by "layer with point". Now separate entities such as heights, codes etc go on there own layer  "heights_layer", "code_layer" etc. This makes it easier in Acad to be able to read height value, code value etc when points are fairly dense.

4.0.0.83

Have added in a "stop bank". When running Allway grading - it stops the water flowing out along this edge of the triangles. All relevant points need to be included. Under the Grading menu you can see the "Allway Stop" menu item. You draw in the line and are prompted for a width.

On left of the job you can see the red polyline which has a width. Any triangle edges within the "stop bank" will act as a stop to water. Without this the allway grading flows out west at this point. With "stop bank" we have:

The QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) has been updated so that user can customise it.

Look towards the right hand end and you will see the customisation icon. Click on this and you can add and remove any of the commands contained within the menu's.

After adding a couple of separators and a Trimble import and export, and the triangle based grading we can get the following:

You will see the extra commands. This will be remembered after you restart Ezigrade.
