Bug Fixes


General:

  • Resolved an issue with an error message appearing at start up for Civil 3D versions 2020 and prior.
  • Included basic settings in the installer so that if installer does not install to Documents folder application will continue working and notify user - just will not be able to save settings.
  • Added error message if product cannot write to settings file due to permissions.
  • Added some resolutions around ribbon not appearing at startup for some users.

Daylight Pipe to Surface:

  • Resolved an issue where command would not allow for exiting without selecting a surface.

Crossing Labels:

  • Resolved an issue where if the a Label's associated pipes are moved position horizontally, the label's leader location would not update.

Extended Settings Manager (for Slope Across Pipes):

  • Resolved issue with catalog not loading on start.
  • Resolved error message appearing for some items changed in grid.
  • Resolved issue with reading some legacy catalogs.

Network Quantities Label:

  • Resolved a defect where command seemed to not function process due to improperly saved settings/carry over from previous versions.
  • Resolved an issue with pipe depth quantities appearing only on some drawing files. Have worked out the issue to improve the quantity calculations for summarizing pipe depths by length.

Slope Across Pipes:

  • Resolved an issue when running Settings from Slope Across Pipes and having to perform selections before entering Settings.

Slope Across Pipes Slope Catalogs:

  • Resolved an issue with legacy catalogs not being read correctly in some circumstances

Swap Multiple Parts:

Enhancements:


General:

  • Added specific build support for 2020 and 2019 products. Any version of Civil 3D prior to 2019 should still work, but will be executed using 2019 built version.
  • Settings Global: Filter Mode has been added to control how the filter dialog works. Options are to use PartNameDescription or Description.
Ribbon:
  • Revisions to the Pipe Elevations panel in relation to the new Slope Across Pipes Branching tool listed below.
  • Revisions to the Services panel in relation to the new Services tools listed below.
  • Revisions to the Labeling panel in relation to the new Crossing Label tools listed below.

Switch Pipe Start / End Coordinates:
  • Command now only offers two modes, Network and Path.
    • Network: selects the entire network and rotates each of the pipes 180 degrees but keeps elevations at their same locations.
    • Path: Select a path through the network. Command will ensure the selected pipes' coordinates in the path, follow that of the path in regards to their Start/Ends. Elevations are not changed, just the Start/End coordinates of each pipe
  • This does not effect the flow direction for the flow of fluid in the pipe in regards to elevations, but the direction the pipe was drawn as this is important in some aspects of Civil 3D, such as exporting/importing to other software.

Extended Settings Manager (for Slope Across Pipes): 

  • Added button to import slope catalog.
  • Added right click for Select and Zoom to for Pipe Slopes and Structure Skips/Drops.
Update Pipe Crossing Labels:
  • Command has been removed from the ribbon and replaced with the new Rtcl_UpdateCrossingLabelsTables command.
Update Crossing Tables:
  • Command has been removed from the ribbon and replaced with the new Rtcl_UpdateCrossingLabelsTables command.
Create Crossing Labels:
  • New version of command offers two modes; Automatic and Manual
  • Manual functions like previous allowing for individual selections.
  • Automatic allows for selecting Networks to compare. All crossings found will be labeled according to settings. Selecting the same Networks will compare that Network against itself to ensure self crossings are found.
  • New setting for Automatic mode to ensure it doesn't locate crossings at the ends of pipes - ability to control the tolerance
Create Crossings Table:
  • Added the ability to control whether or not crossings that no longer exist in the file, appear in the table. IE: If a set of drawings has crossing labels numbered and sent out for review, user now has a control over how updates occur with crossing labels if there are changes to the piping systems in which a crossing label is no longer needed. On update, the label will be removed be recalled by the drawing file in storage. Table will be updated to show the removed label counted as previously, but the data will show "N/A" by default.
  • Locate this option on the settings tab for Create Crossing Tables
Update Crossing Labels and Tables:
  • Added a new command that updates all crossing labels and tables found in the drawing.
Create Service Tables:
  • Added the ability for creating a table of services in the drawing file. Command has specific settings as to how the services table should appear and update. User can select all or multiple services to include in a given table.
  • New settings tab for controlling the Service Table features
Update Services and Tables:
  • Added a new command that updates all services and service tables found in the drawing.

Service Connection Manager:

  • Added ability to create service table.
  • Adjusted the Update button to call the new Update Services and Tables function.
Label Pipe Elevation:
  • Added ability to select None from keyword or dialog if Surface or Alignment prompting is on and not desired.

Network Quantities Label:

  • When performing long quantity calculations, changing the dialog settings caused the quantities to recalculate every time causing the process to take a significant amount of time. An AutoUpdate option has been added above the quantities along with an Update button to trigger the update should AutoUpdate be turned off. A message is also displayed to notify the user the quantities are out of date, and the ability to insert the label to the file is
  • Relocated placement of Export CSV button to be more intuitive to user
