History
TopoLT V3.3 - b.1 (
It introduces points including
points with elevation for 3DPoly or 3DFace entities when using command AutoPct or Pll.
In case you introduce in graphical
mode point with command IPCT when you work
with elevations, program extracts elevation accordingly to pointing out, only if
elevation from pointing out is 0.000 you will be asked to introduce it
manually.
Increments plan layout number what
is loaded when using command NrPlan.
TopoLT V3.3 - b.2 (
At areas calculation with command ARR multiple points are eliminated from a vertex
(corner) of polyline. In the previous version when you were passing several
times through the same point when defining area with a polyline, that point
appeared many times in table.
When you eliminate common points
that are at a smaller distance than Dmin (0.030 m conform initial
configuration) program makes test on elevation too. If level difference between
points that are at a plane distance smaller than Dmin is itself smaller than
Dmin then first point found in file is eliminated.
Errors:
In the previous version in case
detachment through an obliged point was made, when you choose obliged point
through a polyline corner detachment didn’t function.
TopoLT V3.3 - b.3 (
At detachments, value of last
introduced area is kept. When you continue detachments from left polyline,
selection will be made from the first polyline left from last detachment.
When changing plan scale you can
scale dimensions too relative to new scale. When you scale dimensions it is
taken into account of distance between dimension text and dimensioned object.
When changing plan type (with names,
elevations or with names and elevations) or when changing decimals number for
the way elevations will be posted, a new drawing of points it is possible to be
made.
For elevations decimals number it
can be introduced a value from 0 to coordinates decimals number. Maximum
interval is between 0 and 8.
When purging with command PUR program deletes lines with length 0.0 too
When initializing all types of lines
from used lines file are loaded.
Errors:
It was eliminated an error that
occurred at stations table creation. When one point, which was not station, contained
in code text (translated or not) at the beginning or at the end same characters
like code text allocated for station then program was selecting this point as
station point.
At coordinates table creation when
pagination wasn’t made not all points got to table.
New functions:
SelCod,
ChCod, RenPct,
Hpct, DelLay,
Mjoin, AllBlack.
TopoLT V4.0 (
It was introduced the possibility to
work in english measurement units system too feet [inch].
Distances and areas can be written
with a number of decimals and measurement units can be changed.
At configuration it is possible to
preview point drawing mode and layers designed for points can be accessed
directly.
At points interpolation with command
IP can be introduced more points on line and
outside the reference line for interpolation.
At points drawing operations of
ordering, eliminating of common points and of optimizing overlapped texts are
realized faster.
At points drawing it is possible to
check points overlaps and points with the same name.
Points can be received on serial
port from an instrument (total station), can be send from CAD drawing to an
instrument, coordinates files can be imported and exported in a format for
total station or in a personalized one.
It is possible to draw plan layout
with border and cartouche taking into account printable area or used printer.
It is possible to transform raster
images in order to correlate them with drawing system from drawing, images
format can be changed, parts from images that don’t present interest can be
cut.
It is possible to create field
three-dimensional model and contour levels can be drawn.
Points including elevations can be
automatically introduced also for entities PolygonMesh and PolyFaceMesh when
using command AutoPct.
Coordinates tables can also be saved
in format .csv when using command TabCoo.
When loading plan layout with
command NrPlan ViewPorts will be
selected only once.
A polyline can be dimensioned using
command DimPl.
Errors:
Once again areas detachment command
was modified DETAS because it were
possible to appear the same errors like that described at version 3.3 - b.2.
In some cases coordinates files were
not properly ordered.
New functions:

TopoLT V5.0 (octomber 2005)
Upgrades:
Function for drawing graticule CJ also works properly for polylines that are not
convex. Overlapping is avoided for texts situated on graticule’s limit.
Lines and arrows used at
dimensionings can be eliminated (dimensionings usually used parcel plans).
Elimination can be done using command TopoCfg
section Dimensions.
When transforming images it was introduced
possibility to make Clip from points situated nearest the limit. It is useful
in case there are more then 4 points at the contour on which Clip framing is
made.
When selecting a limit to realize 3D
model, a cut from 3D model is done. Limit can also be a polyline with arcs or a
circle.
Function for drawing contour levels CNN works much faster, dwg files are smaller because
there are used SPLINE entities for curves without width. Curves can be drawn
with different colors and text for curve dimension can be scaled on length.
There can be choused degree of spline curves and parameterization method of
curves. Contour levels can be drawn for any kind of 3D models (mesh).
New created 3D model, calculated
volume, 3D entities from drawing and 3ds files can be visualized with real time
rendering. For visualizing can be used both textures and images attached in
coordinates in order to create a photo real representation of 3D objects. AVI
movies, BMP and JPG images can be saved as files. Description of all facilities
can be found at VM3D.
There was introduced possibility of
receiving measurements from an instrument through serial port.
Sightshot points (polar points) can
be calculated.
Volumes for any kind of 3D models
(mesh) can be calculated.
One or several polylines can be
dimensioned.
There was introduced possibility of
using function "wheel" for mouse with ZoomInW and ZoomOutW for
AutoCAD R14.
Editing codes files, layer files
that are necessary to program, receiving measurements, sightshot (polar points)
calculation and visualizing of 3ds files can be done directly from Windows.

have images that have been georeferentiated with TopoLT, images that are not
evenly rotated and scaled, we recommend to save them once again with this
version of TopoLT.
You can use „Copy” and „Paste”
for an instrument from the list with instruments from Section - Instruments.
