Carlson Software has released its latest CAD software versions – including Survey, Civil, Hydrology, GIS, Mining and Point Cloud – introducing new features, enhancements and powerful tools designed to boost user efficiency in the office, it says.
Carlson 2027 features IntelliCAD 14.1 as well as compatibility with AutoCAD® 2027. From native CAD tables and multiple ROW offsets to surface timelines and label style libraries, Carlson 2027 brings advances for every user, the company claims.
A few of the highlights include:
- A Multiple Point Spreadsheet Editor that to facilitate quicker point edits with an “easy to read” interface;
- Custom Layer Targets for calculating volumes at any stage of a project (preliminary, progress, as-built). This means when a custom layer target has been defined, it now flows into the rest of the SiteNet/Takeoff workflow, including quick commands such as Set Layer for Custom, Display Options Freeze/Thaw, Make User-Defined Surface and Set Active Surfaces for Calculate Total Volumes. There is also a new Surface Timeline command that allows users to step through the surface models from original ground to finish grade and any others in between;
- The new Label Style Library offers another step forward in setting up and maintain company standards within an office. Label styles can be created and then applied via a simple drop-down menu in many of the Carlson annotation routines. Within that library is Capture Style which allows users to create a Label Style by selecting any existing text entity;
- Vastly improved point cloud size capability, which includes the ability to handle “massively sized” point clouds without over taxing computer memory constraints
- New option to use a native CAD table for annotating routines such as line and curve tables to allow typical table edits, sizing and formatting for more control over table appearance. Additionally, line and curve tables now have an option to combine all curve data into a single cell along with more header control;
- Additions to the recently-introduced Carlson Compass, including toggled options for display of Control Points, Parcel Data, County and Town Borders, all downloadable via a shape (SHP) file. This program helps answer the perpetual problem of locating older projects as well as defining new ones complete with user defined fields, such as project status and options to designate icon colors and shape for each.
