In addition to providing basic compatibility with AutoCAD 2000, Civil/Survey 99 C also takes advantage of advanced CAD features which are key to the Civil Engineering and Surveying professional. For example, the new multiple document interface (MDI) allows for the ability to view and edit in plan, profile and section drawings simultaneously. By doing so, users will be able to move between the various drawings in a project with much more efficiency than ever before. UPDATING TO AUTOCAD 2000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have applied the 99C patch the necessary files are in place to configure Eagle Point to run with AutoCAD 2000. You will also need to run the Configure CAD Engine command found in the Eagle Point 99 Administrator program. You can find this program in your Eagle Point 99 program folder located in your Start menu. On the Configure CAD Engine dialog box change the ACAD.EXE file Location option to point to the R2000 acad.exe. Selecting the OK button will update the necessary user settings. ****Users Upgrading from R14 If you have not migrated your previous R14 profiles, a new Eagle_Point_98 profile will be created in R2000 for you by copying the Unnamed Profile. If the profile specified in the Command Line Arguments is something other than Eagle_Point_98 and that profile does NOT exist in R2000, a new profile with that name will be created. If the profile specified in the Command Line Arguments does already exist in R2000, it will be used when running Eagle Point. Whatever profile is specified, make sure that it contains the necessary search paths including the location of the EGPT\IMAGES folder. ****Users Upgrading from R13 Because R2000 uses profiles instead of ACAD.INI and/or the /s command line switch, a profile will be created for you when you configure Eagle Point to now run with R2000. Any other customizations to the original R13 Command Line Arguments would need to be added to the Eagle_Point_98 profile. ****Users Updating from Other CAD packages If you wish to change your current CAD configuration from Microstation, IntelliCAD 98 or the EP Graphics Engine to AutoCAD 2000 you must use the SETUP.EXE program on the installation CD to re- install Eagle Point. Network License Manager users must create new client deployment setups and re-deploy the software to the client workstations. In either case, you may re-install over your previous Eagle Point 98/99 installation choosing AutoCAD R2000 as the CAD Engine to run with. Prior to running the SETUP.EXE on individual computers, run the Configure Registry command found in the Eagle Point 99 Administrator and choose the Reset Current User's CAD Configuration option. This step is necessary so that the Setup routine can properly configure Eagle Point to run with the new CAD Engine. Any patches created since that CD version must be re-applied and can be obtained from the Eagle Point homepage (see Product Patches and Updates section of this document). Doing this does not require that you run the Configure CAD Engine command found in the Eagle Point 99 Administrator program. Refer to the Getting Started manual for more information (Re-Configuring Eagle Point When Upgrading CAD page 41). ****Users who have Multiple CAD setups If you are running Eagle Point with R2000 on some workstations and with R13, R14, IntelliCAD or the EP Graphics Engine on others, please note that the new DWG format is not at this time directly compatible with previous DWG versions. If you wish to share drawings between users who run under the above scenario you must save the R2000 drawings as R14 or R13. Also, because of changes made to the R2000 DWG format, a different RoadCalc Plan and Profile sheet prototype is needed. If you share the EGPT\SUPPORT folder under the above scenario you must establish separate Format Defaults for Plan and Profile Sheets that use different prototype drawings. The RCPLAP.DWG in the EGPT\SUPPORT\DWG folder will be replaced with an R2000 dwg version when you run the Configure CAD Engine command. If you need to also run Eagle Point with R13, R14, IntelliCAD or the EP Graphics Engine, you must create new Plan and Profile format defaults that use the RCPLAP13.DWG found in the EGPT\SUPPORT\DWG folder. Multiple Drawing Environment ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As a default, AutoDesk has set ability to open multiple drawings within one session to be on. This is controlled with the system variable of SDI. With the SDI set to 0, you can have multiple drawings open at the same time. With the SDI variable set to 1, only one drawing can be open at a time (similar to past AutoCAD versions). When working with multiple drawings open at the same time, there are some things you should be aware of. Each drawing has its own AutoCAD Command Line. You can be in the middle of a command in each drawing. For instance, in drawing A you can be running the LINE command and in drawing B you can be running the ERASE command. The command will stay running when you switch between drawings. Eagle Point will work in the same manner if the drawings are part of the project. Drawings are part of the project if it displays in the Project Listing on the Open dialog box. This displays the project plan drawing and any additional drawings that are contained within a project. Eagle Point commands can also be used in RoadCalc profile drawings, and plot sheets. In order use these drawings, the individual View commands must be used to make the drawing current. If multiple plot sheets are open, only the last sheet that was viewed within Eagle Point can be used with Eagle Point commands. To use Eagle Point commands in a different sheet you must highlight the desired sheet in the dialog box and click on the View Sheets button. If the current drawing is closed, Eagle Point will set the current drawing to the project's plan drawing. If the project's plan drawing is not loaded when an Eagle Point command is run, the project's plan drawing will be loaded before the Eagle Point command is executed. POP0 menu (middle mouse button/wheel behavior) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As a default, AutoDesk has set the middle mouse wheel on an Intellimouse to be dynamic panning. On a three button mouse the middle button runs the pan command if you hold it down. In either case you can still display the POP0 menu (snaps popup menu) by pressing the Shift key and the right mouse button. You can set the middle mouse button/wheel single click to be the POP0 menu with the system variable of MBUTTONPAN. When MBUTTONPAN is set to 0, the middle mouse button/wheel will display the POP0 menu. When MBUTTONPAN is set to 1, the middle mouse button/wheel will dynamically pan. With either of these settings, the Intellimouse wheel will zoom in or out. Right Mouse button Click menus ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As a default, AutoDesk has set the Right Click of your mouse button to display a short-cut menu. This can be controlled with the Options command found in the Tools menu. The options that can be changed are on the User Preferences tab in the Windows Standard Behavior frame. Partial Drawing Open ---------------------------------------------------------------------- At this time, Eagle Point has not taken full advantage of the capabilities of the Partial Drawing Load option within AutoCAD 2000. It is recommended that this option is not used on any Eagle Point intelligent objects. By using this option and making modifications to Eagle Point intelligent objects, the intelligence may be lost. You can use this option if native CAD objects (non Eagle Point objects) are being modified or deleted. In-place Reference File editing ---------------------------------------------------------------------- At this time, Eagle Point has not taken full advantage of the capabilities of editing a reference file. It is recommended that this option is not used on any Eagle Point intelligent objects. By using this option and making modifications to Eagle Point intelligent objects, the intelligence may be lost. You can use this option if native CAD objects (non Eagle Point objects) are being modified or deleted. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATING TO MICROSTATION J ---------------------------------------------------------------------- With the 99A (99Q1) release, the necessary files are in place to configure Eagle Point to run with Microstation J. You will need to run the Configure CAD Engine command found in the Eagle Point 99 Administrator program to change your configuration if you did not reconfigure for Microstation J when installing from the CD. You can find this program in your Eagle Point 99 program folder located in your Start menu. On the Configure CAD Engine dialog box change the USTATION.EXE file Location option to point to the Microstation J ustation.exe. Selecting the OK button will update the necessary user settings. If you are using a different User Configuration File (.ucf) other than the EGPT.UCF, make sure that it exits in the proper location for Microstation J and that the Command Line Argument reflects the .ucf name. Refer to the Getting Started Manual, MicroStation Modifications on page 45 for more information. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT'S CHANGED FROM 99B(99Q1B) TO 99C(99Q1C) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Administrator * Convert Previous Installation no longer overwrites the default Eagle Point speed tables if the number of tables in the older version of the software is greater than the number of tables in the newer software. * Convert Previous Installation correctly locates and converts the rcdata.dat file rather than the rcdata.lib file. * When converting previous projects that contain RoadCalc sub-projects, the RoadCalc sub-projects are now added to the Eagle Point 99 project list.
