GeoTools V 6.09 update:
Pick up this latest update from
http://www.4d-technologies.com/geotools/download/geotools.exe
Command updated GT_IMPEX: (Export Tools - Import/Export
points and lines) - The GT_IMPEX command now has
additional options to handle exporting of linear features.
The following enhancements to the GT_IMPEX command have
been done in this update:
1. You can now optionally create a blank line between two
line/polygon records
2. You can now optionally use a different last point
elevation identifier for line/polygon records. If this
option is checked, the last elevation of each line or
polyline record will have a different elevation string as
entered in the edit box below. This feature is provided
because some systems identify the end of a line/polyline
by reading a special value set in the elevation field of
the last point.
3. You can now overwrite an existing output file or simply
append to it.
Progress Indicator Interval : Often, GeoTools displays a
progress indicator by way of an informative message on the
command line that indicates how many objects have been
processed and how many are remaining to be processed.
Until now, the progress indicator message was updated for
each object that was being processed. This can be quite
time-consuming when large data-sets have to be processed
and it takes up significant computing time. To overcome
this, we are introducing a parameter called 'Progress
Indicator Interval' in the General Settings dialog box (GT_GENSET
command).
Here, you can now specify the progress indicator interval
you want. So, if you specify 100 as the interval, the
progress indicator will refresh itself only once each 100
objects are processed. This speeds up processing
significantly.
Command updated: GT_ASN_PROP: (Assign inherited properties
from neighboring objects - Conversion Tools) : The
GT_ASN_PROP command can now assign to each vertex of a 3d
polyline elevation values inherited from neigbouring text
or block attributes.
Command updated: GT_MODTXT: (Globally Modify Text/MText
objects): This command now has an added option to trim
characters from the beginning or end
of a string of text/mtext upto a specifed marker
character. The marker character should be a single
character that has to be specified in the object
edit box labelled "Enter value for selected
property"
Bug Fix & Update : GT_DENSIFY : The GT_DENSIFY command
has now been bug fixed and updated. The command now
correctly interpolates the in-between added vertices and
it acquires 3d elevations correctly by interpolation.
There have been some minor changes in the program options.
The option to measure distances by 'Slope' or 'Horizontal'
has been removed and the program now measures in Slope
only. The option to "Interpolate" 3d polyline
vertices has been removed and interpolation is now
automatic for 3d polylines.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important note: While all of GeoTools commands are tested
quite extensively before they are released, it is humanely
impossible to test-run it under every different data type
or operating environment. In the event that you notice any
GeoTools command not functioning as expected, please bring
it to our notice asap. We will attend to it and fix the
problem as soon as possible.
