We are pleased to announce the release of Stringer Topo V25.00. This version includes new features and improvements that aim to streamline your surveys within the CAD environment.
Stringer Topo V25.00 is available on the following platforms:
- AutoCAD 2019 to AutoCAD 2025
- BricsCAD V22 to BricsCAD V24
- Civil 3D 2019 to Civil 3D 2025
Traverse Editor
One of our bigger additions to Stringer Topo is the addition of a new Traverse Editor. This allows users to select the points of their traverse and visualise it before running one of four key adjustment methods:
- Bowditch
- Transit
- Crandall
- Grant Line
Linking COGO Points with Excel
Recognising the power of spreadsheets to quickly update non-geometric point properties (such as tree type and condition) we have implemented a link between Excel and COGO Points in Stringer Topo. Users can now:
- Export point geometry and property date across to Excel
- Link Excel spreadsheet/s to COGO point properties, enabling Excel spreadsheet edits to drive point geomery and property information
There are four commands to provide interoperability with Excel:
- Excel Export: structure an Excel file to contain your point data
- Excel Import: link point dat to an Excel file
- Sync Links: click-button option to update COGO points in the drawing from changes in Excel
- Excel Viewer: a simple spreadsheet editor for .xls files (if you don’t own Microsoft Excel or equivalent)
2D Transformations
In response to customer requests we have added options to Move, Scale, Rotate and Offset all points in a point group, without affecting point elevations.
Inquire Points
To simplify querying the data in the drawing, users now have access to the new Inquire Points command. This allows users to report differences between two selected points.
Field attributes provide Surveyors with the ability to include additional data in their Survey pickup of points. With Stringer Topo V26 users can now include additional data (attribute data) with their COGO points and survey strings for review, editing and output from their drawing. There are a number of ways to add attributes to your […]
In the Civil Site Design v26 release for AutoCAD and BricsCAD, a new Clone String command has been added. This command allows users to create a clone of an existing string as a profile string including the alignment and vertical profile. This command turns what was a multi-step process into a one step process. You […]
Civil Site Design v26 delivers a major upgrade to its Custom Variations functionality with the introduction of Standard Kerb Transitions. Since v25, Custom Variations have been a core feature of Civil Site Design, allowing users to apply conditional logic and geometry overrides to cross sections at specified chainages. With v26, this functionality is significantly expanded […]
Civil Site Design V26 introduces the new command Import Cogo Point File (by Alignment). This tool allows you to import a file that specifies chainage and offset along an alignment for points to be created. The command is available for Civil Site Design and Stringer across all base platforms. The command can be found at […]
