Latest CAD Engine |
| |
MapScenes 2008 uses IntelliCAD's newest release, IntelliCAD 6.3. |
| |
|
| |
Advanced Rendering |
| |
MapScenes now includes an advanced rendering engine that allows you to view your whole drawing in a dynamic 3D view. Pan, rotate, zoom around your drawing using advanced viewing controls. Save and print high resolution images directly from the render window. |
| |
|
| |
EVR Raw File Encryption Support |
| |
MapScenes now includes the ability to decrypt Evidence Recorder encrypted raw files. |
| |
|
| |
USB Licensing (Stand alone) |
| |
MapScenes is now activated by using a USB License Key. USB License Keys make MapScenes more portable for organizations who need flexibility in where and when their software is used. All activation is done over the internet, no more calling or faxing us for activation passwords. |
| |
|
| |
USB Licensing (Server) |
| |
New for 2008 is the MicroSurvey USB License Server. The License Server is perfect for organizations that want to have a network license system for MapScenes or Capture. |
| |
|
| |
Alphanumeric Support |
| |
MapScenes now has full alphanumeric point name support. Give your point names more relevant meaning such as EVD1, or RP1, or RM1. |
| |
|
| |
Microsoft Vista |
| |
MapScenes 2008 is fully compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP and Vista. |

More Features |
| |
|
| |
Faster Importing and Processing |
| |
Many of the routines you use on a daily basis have been sped up. Importing ASCII files, processing measurement files, and importing EVR projects is on average 25% faster. |
| |
|
| |
Standardized Database |
| |
New for 2008 is a standardized database (DBF) format for all databases created by MapScenes. The new database format is quicker, more stable, and more compact than previous versions. |
| |
|
| |
Symbol Creation from Vehicle Specification Database |
| |
You can now create a basic 3D symbol derived from the dimensions contained in the Vehicle Specification Database. |
| |
|
| |
Rich Text Log File Editor |
| |
Included in MapScenes and Capture is an updated log file editor and viewer. Record all your notes regarding your investigation using the Log File command. |
| |
|
| |
Compressed Database |
| |
The main project database is now automatically compressed when you close your project. On average, the new compressed database is 90% smaller in size compared to previous versions. The new database has a “msz” extension. You can open older MapScenes projects, but you cannot convert MapScenes 2008 databases to older formats such as 2006. |
| |
|
| |
Create and edit color books |
| |
You've always been able to add color to your drawings using index colors, but now you use two new color features:
-
True colors — Defined using 24-bit color, there are more than 16 million true colors from which you can choose.
-
Color books — Defined with a list of colors, color books help you organize collections of colors. For example, you can store a unique color scheme in a color book for a client and then use colors only from that color book for the client's drawings.
|
| |
Work with images |
| |
MapScenes includes enhanced imaging features to help you work with images in your drawings. Working with images is similar as in previous versions, with easy-to-use features located on the Image menu. |
| |
|
| |
Use new layout viewport features |
| |
-
There are several new features for layout viewports:
-
Snap to model space entities from paper space.
-
Lock layout viewports to lock the model space view or location while panning or zooming in paper space.
-
Assign a unique UCS to a layout viewport.
|
| |
Export to PDF and 3D DWF format |
| |
You can export drawings to two new formats:
-
PDF — Portable Document Format files allow you to distribute your drawing to others for viewing with Adobe® Acrobat® Reader®, which is free software that users can download, and for viewing, reviewing, and editing with Adobe® Acrobat.
-
3D DWF — 3D Design Web Format files can be viewed in a Web browser if Autodesk® DWF Viewer is also installed on the computer. DWF Viewer is a free tool from Autodesk® that always supported viewing 2D DWF files, but now supports viewing DWF files in three dimensions.
|
| |
|
| |
Edit text in the command line |
| |
The command bar and Prompt History window include enhanced text editing, including cutting, copying, and pasting text; copying the last command line or the entire command history; and repeating a previously executed command. |
| |
|
| |
Create wipeout entities |
| |
Wipeouts are unique entities that can help you hide areas of your drawing. They display with the current background color, so the details behind the wipeout do not display or print. However, if your version of MapScenes does not include raster image capability (that is, does not include an Image menu), wipeout entities display, but the details behind the wipeouts also display. |
| |
|
| |
Create audio notes from existing *.wav files |
| |
In addition to recording audio notes in MapScenes and attaching them to entities, you can now create audio notes from existing *.wav files. Audio notes created from an existing *.wav file are saved in the drawing file and the separate *.wav file remains unchanged. |
