We are pleased to announce the release of our next update for PDF Manager which addresses the crash issue introduced by TBC v2024.10.
The new update has a lot of improvements as follows, and is available from TMLStatus immediately. You will find that there is an increased productivity of ~10% for alignment based sheet placement with significantly fewer mouse clicks to place each sheet in this version.
Updates include
- Ability to set the display style for place page images (Dimmed, Bluelined etc) and to set image transparency
- Place markers to indicate the From and To locations for the page referencing
- 2 Point mode for Alignment based sheets to eliminate the need to use right click COGO snaps for each point selected.
- Ability to set the location for the Top Left Corners of the sheets for their unplaced / temporary location for those that want to drop the image right on top of the CAD data
-
Ability to delete an unneeded PDF Plan Set and all georeferenced sheets from that Plan Set
-
Improved Profile placement workflow to increase productivity
-
Full support for Alignments with Station Equations
-
Some improvements to Dashed vs Solid Line identification
Outstanding work items
- We still have some work to do on Color Mapping
- There is a minor defect in that you cannot grab an image from an already Georeferenced page
- We will add a 2 point mode for the multipoint method of page placement also
- There appears to be a TBC slow down if you close PDF Manager and then restart the command to add more pages, the slow down appears to clear if you open a new Plan View - we are looking into the cause of this slow down.
There are some bigger work items planned, these are small short term things that I hope to have addressed shortly in another patch update.
Let us know how you like the changes.
