Project Storage | Introduction
Project storage in Civil Site Design and Stringer Topo V25.1 offers a new way to manage project data, enhancing data organisation, protection, and version control. Instead of storing the project data folder next to the DWG file, as in the traditional format, project storage places this folder in a separate location defined by the project storage folder path.
A key feature of project storage is the assignment of a unique GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) to each project data folder. This GUID acts like a digital fingerprint, ensuring that even if multiple projects share the same storage location, their data remains separate and distinct. This prevents any accidental mixing of information, protecting data integrity.
Project Storage | Restoring Projects
Project Storage implements a version control system. Every time a project is opened, a new data folder is created with a unique GUID. This ensures that each work session begins with a clean copy of the project data, safeguarding against accidental modifications impacting previous versions. Previous versions of the data folder are preserved within the project storage location, allowing users to revert to earlier project states if needed.
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 […]
