What's New

• AutoCAD 2008 Compatible: the CGSurvey 9 drawing file is AutoCAD 2007 format which is AutoCAD 2008 compatible and Windows VISTA compatible.
• New Intersect toolbar: user can perform all the various types of intersections from an on screen toolbar. The resulting intersection location appears as a red “X” on the screen and the user can decide to save the result to the coordinate file or simple review the results.
• New Point Symbol Dialog Box: shows images of ALL symbol drawings found in the Symbols directory. The images are extracted from the drawings found in the Symbols directory and no longer use pre-prepared slides. This makes it easy for the user to customized C&G point symbols or add new symbols. Just use AutoCAD to edit a symbol or create a new one and save it to the Symbols directory.

• New Label Lot/Areas: pick in side an area defined by points in a point group, intersecting lines or polylines.  Then place lot numbers, areas or both in the center of the area or at the cursor location.
• New 3D faces from Tin: create a 3D face from the C&G tin file.
• New create & Plot a Grid File: create a Carlson grid file (*grd) from #D entities selected from drawing
• New Shrinkwrap: introducing a Carlson feature, which creates a closed polyline, that encloses a given set of entities to be used in various other routines for inclusion or exclusion of entities.
• New Draw Mapcheck: allows the user to draw lines, points, and bearings specified in a C&G (*.CGM) Mapcheck file.
