COGO

• The Coordinate Geometry Editor now accepts Degrees/Minutes/Seconds in a spaced format.

Corridor Design

• An issue that caused feature lines to not display as expected has been resolved.

• An issue that caused errant feature lines to be generated between stations has been resolved.

Cross Sections

• Volume tables now remain as saved when reopening the drawing.
• Non-orthogonal sample lines now sample corridor links as expected.

Data Shortcuts

• Profiles are no longer duplicated in multiple alignments.

• An issue that caused pipes and pipe labels to not plot as expected has been resolved.

• Creating a reference to a grid surface no longer causes the application to close unexpectedly.

General

• The performance of tooltips has been improved.

Labels

• Alignment labels using the crows foot block are now aligned as expected.

LandXML
