What's New in Professional?

 
 

 We are very excited about Version 5.  Not only have we added Contours, Volumes, DTM, Drawing Rotation and DWG & DXB support, but we've integrated them in a way you just have to see to believe.  We've also added many of the Professional Edition features to the Basic and Standard Editions, making them more powerful than ever.

Read the Review of Contouring from Professional Surveyor, November, 2002

Contours - Contouring alone are worth the update - we've made it a 'walk in the park'.   You can turn topo points on or off right in Quick View and watch as TPC redraws the contours.  Same with border points and breaklines.  You'll find yourself 'interacting' with the contour in real time, getting it to look just like it's supposed to.  Turn on contour smoothing and you've got a great looking contour.

Volumes - TPC does volumes three different ways 1) to the contour border, 2) to an arbitrary elevation or 3) to another surface.  You'll get cut and fill volumes along with the net volume, surface area and cut and fill areas.

DTM - We've added basic DTM (Digital Terrain Modeling) features so you can generate transects from drawing objects or traverses, cut / fill reports and more.

DWG & DXB - Now you can import / export DWG & DXB (binary DXF files) files just like you currently do with DXF files.  Supports R12 - R2002.  WOW!

Drawing Rotation - Rotate the survey any amount on the drawing.  Not only that, but set objects like the north arrow to rotate automatically with the survey!

Polyline Smoothing - We've added polyline smoothing via a curve fitting routine that guarantees that the smoothed line passes through all the original polyline points.  Plus, you can specify the maximum distance you will allow the smoothed lines to vary from the original lines.

Text Centering - There's a new 'Align Center' command that automatically centers the selected objects, including text.  Plus you can now select Left, Right or Center justification for any text, angled text or text boxes.

Inserting Symbols - Insert any symbol in any font using our new pull down symbol list.

 
     
 

What's New in Standard?

 
 

 We’ve added lots of features to the Standard Edition including, legal descriptions, polylines, polyline smoothing, trimming / extending / breaking and copying drawing objects, chamfer and fillet commands, text box with word wrap, alignment and spacing tools for drawing objects, drawing templates, drawing rotation, user-defined groups and blocks, DWG & DXB export, Garmin GPS support, coordinate transformations, curve fitting, stakeout report, traverse report and the Report View.

 
     
 

What's New in Basic?

 
 

 We’ve added lots of features to the Basic Edition including, legal descriptions, point protection, coordinate conversions, arcs, circles, rectangles, rounded rectangles, user-defined grid, text boxes with word wrap, multiple drawings, insert objects multiple times, drawing templates, drawing rotation, DWG & DXB export, select points by proximity, range, matching, tags, search and replace tools and the Report View.

 
     
 

What's New in Real Estate?

 
 

 The Real Estate Edition now includes cul-de-sacs, rounded rectangles, text boxes with word wrap, drawing rotation and full text search and replace.

 
     
 

DXF Imports...

 
 

Starting with v4.5 you can import DXF files right into your TPC drawing.  We are using this in our own surveying business to import contours into our drawings, but you can use it for any DXF file.  TPC recreates the layers, blocks, symbols – everything you need to pick up right where you left off in CAD.  And because the imported objects are part of the drawing, you can hide their layer, change their properties, convert them to survey points and lots more.

 
     
 

Layers...

 
 

Starting with v4.5, TPC does layers. With TPC’s Quick View and Traverse Settings, you’ll do most of your drawings without even thinking about layers.  But what about the times you want to hide the contours you just imported in the drawing or lock all the lot dimensions. That’s when you need layers.  TPC provides the standard layer functions like On/Off, Freeze/Thaw, Lock/Unlock and the ability to specify object properties (color, line type and line width) by layer.  The layer tools actually make the Traverse Settings even more powerful.  TPC puts all your lot labels on their own layer so you can hide them all at once or lock them so they can’t be moved – it’s all very easy and very powerful.

 
     
 

Converting Drawing Objects to Survey Objects...

 
 

Starting with v4.5, you can convert any drawing object to survey points - even traverses.  Just right click the curb line in the drawing and convert it to a traverse.  Now export the traverse to your data collector and stake it out.  Or how about right clicking a light pole and converting all the objects on the light pole layer to survey points?
