commands
Enhanced or changed
1. GT_PARTSTRETCH (GeoTools  Kit de herramientas de polilínea 1 Estirar parte de
polilínea) A bug
has been fixed in this command which caused malfunction of the command
when the first segment of the polyline was picked for stretching.
2. GT_PARTROTATE (GeoTools Kit de
herramientas de polilínea 1 Girar parte de polilínea)
When the
base point for rotation is asked, the OSNAP mode is now set automatically
to ENDpoint. (enhancement)
3. GT_PARTOFFSET/GT_PARTCOPY/GT_PARTRESHAPE/GT_PARTROTATE/
GT_PARTSTRETCH (GeoTools Kit de herramientas de polilínea 1) : All these commands now set and restore
their OSNAP setting.
4. GT_XFER_OD_XD : (GeoTools Kit de
herramientas de AutoCAD Map Transferir datos de objeto / Xdato entre dos objetos: This command caused a crash in plain AutoCAD. This
has been fixed.
5. GT_ALIGNTEXT (GeoTools Texto Alinear objetos de texto) and GT_ALINGTEXT2LINE
(GeoTools Texto Alinear objetos de texto a una línea) These two commands now
call and run correctly from the pull-down
menu as well as the toolbars. Until
now, they were calling a wrong command name and displaying
a message to the effect that the command name has changed but
with no offer to run that command.
6. GT_OD2XD (GeoTools Kit de herramientas de AutoCAD
Map Convertir datos de tabla de objeto en Xdato): This command
would not work correctly if there was only one object table in the
drawing if the user clicked Ok without selecting it with a mouse
click. The implicit, autmoatic selection of
a single object data table was not
working. This has been fixed now.
7. General change: All commands that require a
block to be inserted would work
correctly only if the block was defined with the default setting
of "Non-Uniform scaling". If this default was changed and a
block created with "Uniform XY
Scaling", the block insertion would not work
correctly in certain AutoCAD versions. This has now been fixed. A
number of other small bugs have been fixed and improvements made.
8. General change: The AutoCAD
menu bar with the GeoTools menu is now made visible automatically upon
loading GeoTools.
Tip: In the event you do not see the
AutoCAD (and GeoTools) menubar, type MENUBAR on the command line and
set the value to 1.
9. GT_IMPEX (GeoTools Exportar
Importar/Exportar puntos y líneas) ahora tiene la opción adicional -
"Añadir identificador de objeto al registro exportado" bajo las opciones de exportación. Si selecciona esta opción,
el último campo en el registro exportado incluirá el identificador de objeto. Cuando usado conjuntamente con
GT_HNDLABEL, la exportación de identificador podría ser usado como medio de correlación visual entre los
registros en el archivo ASCII y los objetos en el dibujo.
10. The GT_MREDEFINE (GeoTools
Bloques
Redefinición múltiple de bloque – Capa/Color) command
updates block definition - color, layer, elevation and thickness of
objects. A new option 'LineWidth' has been added and this command will
now update line widths of lines, polylines and arcs within the block
definition.
11. The GT_IMPEX command (GeoTools Exportar Importar/Exportar puntos y líneas) now supports additional options for
import/export. You can specify 'Start' and 'Stop' codes for linear
records. A Start or Stop code is added to each linear record at the
beginning or end of the record and denotes if the point in question is
the last point or not in a linear sequence of points.
12. The GT_AUTOINCROD command (GeoTools Kit de herramientas de
AutoCAD Map Crear datos de tabla de objeto auto-incrementando)
now has an additional
option to assign incrementing object table data in a X/Y sorted manner.
With options similar to those provided by the GT_SORTEDPOLY command,
you can now assign incrementing object data with X/Y coordinates
sorted.
13. The GT_ANNOGRID (GeoTools
Kit de
herramientas de Civil Crear rejilla de mapa) use
supporting DWG files which used to be located in a common folder called
'BLOCKS' under the GeoTools installation folder. Anticipating that commands
may need to use their own support files in the future, a new folder called
"Support" has now been created under the GeoTools installation
folder and all support files specific to each command will be placed in a
folder by the name of that command.
For example, the support files
used by GT_ANNOGRID will now be placed in <install_folder>/Support/ANNOGRID
folder.
14. The GT_VEGLINE command
(GeoTools Dibujar
Dibujar símbolos de cubierta de vegetación) now offers 6
pre-defined PAR files which are useful to draw vegetation symbols for (T)rees,
(S)hrubs and (H)edges, with scales of 1:200 and 1:500. The names of the files
are HPOLY500.PAR, TPOLY500.PAR, SPOLY500.PAR, HPOLY200.PAR, TPOLY200.PAR and
SPOLY200.PAR. You can use these files as a guide to set GT_VEGLINE parameters
which are suggested best fits for the type of vegetation and the scales. If
you don't like the parameters, feel free to save your own and retrieve later.
15. The GT_ATTEDIT command
(GeoTools Bloques
Editor global de atributos) now allows block
attribute increments and decrements in real numbers also. Until now, only
integer increments and decrements were possible
16. The GT_ENCLOSE command (GeoTools Texto Encerrar
texto en una caja) : The GT_ENCLOSE
command now supports additional options to enclose text objects. You can now use either a WIPEPOUT, SOLID or 3DFACE
object to create the enclosing bounding
box. These are provided under the 'Box' sub-option
and closely mimics the AutoCAD TEXTMASK command.
17. The GT_LAYERMAN command (GeoTools Miscelánea Editor de nombre de capas): Two additional options have been introduced 'Add at Position'
and 'Strip at Position'. These two options
allow you to add or remove a specified
number of characters from the layer name starting from a specified position.
For instance, if you have layers called LOTS-LABELS,
LOTS-LINES and LOTS-CENTROIDS and would
like to rename them to LOTS-OLD-LABELS, LOTS-OLD-LINES and LOTS-OLD-CENTROIDS,
this is the tool to use.
18. The GT_SURFAREA command (GeoTools Miscelánea Calcular área de
superficie de caras 3D): can now be used to optionally create 'projected' 3DFACE objects on the XY plane, when you
choose the option 'Projected(horizontal)'
area. This is in addition to the projected
area reporting that is performed by the command.
19. The GT_INSVX command (GeoTools Kit de herramientas de
polilínea 1
Insertar vértice) : Until now,you
were only able to add a new vertex at a point on the existing segment of the polyline. The GT_INSVX now allows you
to pick a point outside the polyline
and a new vertex will be added at the picked location. The segment closest to the picked point will redraw
itself to include the new vertex.
20. The GT_FLIP command (GeoTools
Kit
de herramientas de polilínea 1
Dar vuelta (ir al reverso) dirección: The
GT_FLIP command has been made more intuitive, with clearer dialog descriptions. A bug has been fixed
which affected 2- vertex polylines.
Additionally, support for LINE objects has been added when 'High-2-Low' and 'Low-2-high' options are chosen.
21. The GT_ENDELEVCHECK command (GeoTools  Limpieza de
dibujo Chequear para puntos finales de XY coincidente, Z diferente):The
GT_ENDELEVCHECK command now provides an
option to create a single 3d polyline from the joined objects.
22. The GT_3DJ command (GeoTools Kit de
herramientas de polilínea 1 Unir polilíneas 3D) : The GT_3DJ command now allows LWPOLYLINE objects to be
selected as inputs. You can now provide
a combination of light-weight, heavy-weight polylines as well as lines and 3DPOLYlines as inputs for this
command.

Bug
Fixes
----
1. GeoTools V11 (running in
trial mode only, not licensed versions) was causing an unexplained freeze in
AutoCAD 2011 and the only way out was to shut down AutoCAD. This has now been
fixed. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused to all our AutoCAD
2011 evaluation users.
2. Some commands in GeoTools were
incorrectly displaying a message "There is no license to run this
command". This bug sneaked in during one of the earlier updates back and
has been fixed now.
3.The GT_DRAPEPOLY (GeoTools
-> Build Tools -> Drape a 3d polyline across a set of intersecting linear
objects) command would freeze AutoCAD if a LINE object was supplied as a source
object. This has been fixed now.
