Land Surveying & Civil Engineering Software
What's New In LISCAD Version 12.2

S.E.E.

• GDA 2020 supported
• GDA 2020 is supported with MGA 2020 projection zones 46 to 59 available as well as Bursa-Wolf Transformations between MGA 94 and MGA 2020.
• Create Polygon by Inside Mouse Click
• Supercharge subdivision allotment creation with this extremely fast and simple technique.
• Back option in Polygon Creation techniques
• A Back button is available when creating polygons by existing points, element selection or trace; this enables easy correction of a wrong selection any time during the polygon creation process.
• Spell Checking
• Check the spelling as you go in the Text Creation and Text Editing commands.
• New Examine 3D Offset commands
• Examine 3D Offsets to a Reference Line, Line or Plane.
• New Compound Combined Curve and Compound Spiral creation commands
• Create compound cubic spirals and compound combined curves by several new techniques.
• LAS point cloud Import and Export
• Import and export point clouds / lidar data in ASPRS laser (LAS) file format.
• New standard Leica DBX Code Lists available
• DBX code lists using the standard LISCAD numeric feature codes have been added to the LISCAD installation.
• Leica DBX Field Transfer and Data Conversions rationalised and enhanced
• Field Transfer: A new "Leica DBX" device option replaces multiple device options for System 1200, Viva and Nova.
• Data Conversions Import: A new "Leica DBX" import command replaces multiple import commands for System 1200, Viva and Nova.
• Data Conversions Export: A new "Leica DBX Points Lines and Areas" export command replaces multiple export commands for System 1200, Viva and Nova.
• Data Conversions Export: A new "Leica DBX DTM" export command replaces multiple DTM export commands for System 1200, Viva and Nova.
• Leica DBX GNSS antenna heights processed via Field Transfer are recorded in the Field File as commented target heights (105 records) and are referred to in the optional Detailed Reduction Report to assist with QA.
• Field Transfer Reduction Options enhanced
• Reduction reporting of comparisons between control point coordinates in the SEE project and the field file is now optional.
• Least Squares Adjustment extraction enhanced
• Feature codes of observed points to be adjusted are now automatically extracted from the field file into the Least Squares Adjustment Editor.
• Import SEE Cross Sections
• New command to import cross section sets from other LISCAD projects.
• Copy Scan Points enhanced
• New option for copied scan points can be coloured according to Elevation Banding.
• AutoCAD and MicroStation CAD Output enhanced
• The elevation given to SEE 2D objects output to 3D CAD files is now controlled by a new "Default Elevation" setting in CAD Output.
• Contour labels generated along the contours are masked.
• Long Section reporting enhanced
• A new option to include the base long section elevation in the long section points report.
• 3D Display Features Lighting enhanced
• Sun shadowing enhanced.
• Interpolate Elevations enhanced
• Enhancements to this process have exponentially shortened interpolation times in very large projects.
• Swiss-95 Projection
• This projection is now available for use with the system.
• MicroStation Cell creation enhanced
• Choice of using LISCAD point colour or the MicroStation object colours for cells defined in a MicroStation cell file.
• CAD Output Model Settings enhanced
• Option for continuous or broken contour lines when labels are set to be along the contours.
• Examine Model Elevation enhanced
• Now also shows the elevation of a selected point and its difference to the model in addition to the model elevation, grade and aspect.
• Point Comparison by Alignment enhanced
• To allow easy separation of "as constructed" survey data from design, the points, alignments and models utilised in these reports can optionally reside in different SEE files.
• Validate Alignment enhanced
• This report now includes any segments less than an a user entered length tolerance, and any positions where the alignment crosses itself.
• Export of 12DA files enhanced
• This export now allows the optional use of 12D Map files.
• D-Spec export enhanced
  • DSPEC export for drainage has been enhanced to support Head/End walls.
• e-Plan enhancements
• Various enhancements for all Australian e-Plan jurisdictions
• Other general enhancements throughout the system including but not limited to: Create Points by Section Markers; Create Points by Line/Line Extension/Trim;

C.A.D.

• Spell Checking
• Text Creation and Editing commands now support spell checking.
