New Toolbars
Toolbars can now be modified and re-arranged, with better icons and big buttons for laptop screens:
-
Importation of GPS/GIS/CSV Data
Drawing and elevation data from CSV and ESRI SHP files can now be directly imported into IRRICAD. Elevation data is entered via File|Import Contours while File|Importis used for normal drawing information.
-
Valve Symbol Colors
Multi-colored symbols may be selected for Valves etc. If a symbol is specified with the "Use symbol colour(s)", in the database editor, then the symbol will be displayed using the colors contained in the symbol definition.
- New Copy Tools
Mirror Copy and Offset Copy have been introduced and all Copy tools are now enabled for use with hydraulic objects.
-
Merge Designs
Yes it is finally back! IRRICAD designs may now be merged together using the Merge… option in the File menu. This function merges all drawing and hydraulic objects, as well as fittings selection, Management and Design information.
-
Draw Order
Z-Order tools, Move to Front and Move to Back will allow specification of which order items are drawn. Helpful when placing images on top of plot layouts.
-
Exporting Reports to Excel
Report templates can now be made that save directly to a file. These files may be opened by Excel.
-
New Manual with Pro Version 10
A new on-line manual is available with Pro version 10. This can also be downloaded as a PDF or can be purchased as hard copy.
- User Attributes and User Keywords
A 'User Attributes' field has been added to control valves, water supplies, block entities and miscellaneous hydraulic items. It allows the user to attach any textual information, to these items, that can be subsequently displayed in labels and reports.
- For example for an Irrigation Area:
- Adding the appropriate keywords to the label settings for Irrigation blocks:-
- Will produce labels similar to this example:
- Hatch and Fill Editing
The colour and the layer of an existing Fill entity may now be changed. Hatch editing has also been enabled, allowing all properties of a hatch to be changed.
- Multiple Water Supply Systems
Designs with multiple but separate water supplies can now be fully analyzed (and LP Design used where appropriate) directly. It is no longer necessary to 'join' the separate systems with notional pipes.
-
Label Changes
New Keywords - More comprehensive hydraulic labeling has been enabled with the introduction of several new label keywords. New labels include maximum and minimum Pressures, Flows , Headlosses and Velocities, Flow per Area, Number of emitters, Group Spacing, Laterals per group and Row Spacing.
Label - When updating labels, IRRICAD now retains the position you moved the label to if it has been moved.
Keyword Combo - A keyword dropdown box has also been added to the Label text dialog. This displays and briefly describes the label keywords, and allows them to be easily inserted.
