Traverse PC Desktop Version 9.0
Update/Upgrade Policy

Enhanced AutoCAD Support

R10 - R2006

Version 9.0 reads and writes R10 to R2006 DWG / DXF files.  

AutoDesk has announced it is dropping support for R2000 / R2002 in January of 2006. Only R2004 and higher will be supported after that time. 

Version 9.0 extends its DWG compatibility backwards to R10 to accommodate those users who still need to interface with Softdesk DCA files when a number of Traverse PC users have requested support for.  

AutoCAD DWF

The DWF (Drawing Web Format) allows drawings to be exchanged more easily via e-mail and the web.  They are generally smaller than DWG files and can be viewed with programs like AutoDesk's DWF Composer. Many free viewers are available on the web (search for DWG Viewer).

Raster Image Support

Version 9.0 now supports raster images when importing and exporting DWG files (DWF is also supported on export).  You can now use a background image or vicinity map in any TPC drawing and export it to CAD. 

 

MicroStation V7/V8 DGN

Version 8.0 reads DGN V7 / V8 files and writes V8 files.  DGN is the drawing format used by Bentley products and MicroStation. They store drawing information much like AutoDesk's DWG files.

File Import / Export

Topcon GTS Files - Read data files directly from your Topcon GTS total station. You'll get raw angles and distances along with control points, side shots, instrument & target height.

SMI Jett CE Files - Transfer your Jett CE files with ActiveSync then read them right into TPC Desktop.

 

Adobe PDF

Write a PDF file from any view, including your drawings.  There are are millions copies of Acrobat Reader out there which can be downloaded FREE. PDF documents are viewable on Windows and non-Windows platforms alike. The PDF files add more muscle to TPC's Universal Map Sharing (UMS).

 

Coordinate Table

New Coordinate Table - Now you can include the coordinates and/or latitude and longitude of points used in your drawing.  Got a lot of points - specify multiple columns.

Multiple Columns - Break any table into multiple columns with Version 9.0.  Just tell TPC how many columns you want for each table.

 

HTML Help

Version 9.0 uses HTML help to bring you the easiest way yet to get the help you need when you need it. One of the best things about HTML help is adding topics to your Favorites menu. View your TPC help topics just by opening your browser.

 

 

Drawing Codes

Version 9 adds drawing codes so you can turn your field data into a map, even without point codes. Begin or end a line, draw a figure, draw a rectangle or fit a curve. Drawing codes aren't for everyone, but if you use them on your data collector, you can use them in TPC Desktop Version 9.

 

Extras

Other Version 9 extras include moving multiple traverses in Quick View, leading zeros in bearing labels, distance units in line tables, improved closure reporting in the Closure View, expanded support for Trimble RTK data records and more.

We have also renamed the Real Estate Edition to Property Edition to better reflect its use in mapping property deed descriptions.
