  • News
    • Added the LiDAR files (LAS, LAZ) data provider [F2643] (Related video)
    • Added the georeferenced raster images (TIF, JPG, PNG, JPEG, TIFF) data provider [F2756] (Related video)
    • 'Spatial Manager' API
      • New LISP functions to managing the Coordinate System (CRS) assigned to the drawing [F2660]
        • (spm_csgetdrawingcrscode) : Returns the current drawing CRS Code
        • (spm_csgetdrawingcrsname) : Returns the current drawing CRS Name
        • (spm_cssetdrawingcrs CRS#) : Assigns to the drawing the CRS whose Code isCRS#
  • Improvements
    • New option to bring the Background Map to front [F2760] (Related video)
      • Very useful with maps that include transparent areas
    • New options when Capturing a Background Map image [F2735] (Related video)
      • Choice of the image format
      • Generation of the geo-reference file (World File)
    • The Background Maps selection window can now be resized [F2678]
    • The properties of the polygon fill Hatches can now be selected from Fields values when importing [F2762] (Related video)
    • The percentage of the imported or exported entities is now shown in the task run information window (if the total of entities to be processed is known) [F2763]
      • In addition, the thousands separator is shown in the numbers of the imported, exported and total entities
    • The application "remembers" now the last path selected when Importing (through SPMIMPORT) or Exporting [F2729]
    • Several import options that were unnecessary when importing point elements have been disabled [F2778]
    • Improved (or disabled) the default option to import the Z coordinate depending on the source to be imported [F2726]
    • 'Import-all' tool enhancements (Related video)
      • The function has been adapted to make it compatible with the new data providers for LiDAR files and raster images
        • Set a working path where to store any auxiliary file required by the process (such as transformed images)
      • Now you can select from several options the CRS of those data sources to import that do not have it defined [F2773]
      • New option to distribute the entities in Layers according to the source Table name [F2775]
        • The distribution already existed according to the source file name but this new option is of interest for files that can contain several tables (SDF, SQLITE, etc.)
    • The current Layer is no longer changed after the Import processes [F2783]
    • New option to export the Hatches data (if any) in the data table [F2761] (Related video)
      • Name, Angle, Scale (Spacing for User patterns) and Double (User patterns)
    • When publishing to Google Earth, the user can now set the size reduction of images so that they are not hidden or cropped in GE [D2066] (Related video)
    • The number of entities selected for which Properties are shown in the application palette is now limited by the system variable PROPOBJLIMIT [F2766]
    • The application data source tree is enhanced by hiding certain "ghost" files, whose extension is confused with that defined for a particular data provider (for example, "Thumbs. db" files in some versions of Windows) [F2771]
    • New options have been included in several application windows to access detailed information about a selected coordinate system or transformation [F1316]
