Leica Captivate v2.30-下一个出色的发行版

After the releases of Leica Captivate v2.10 and v2.20 we have received lots of great feedback about the new features contained. We have again been listening hard to our users and hopefully we will again receive good feedback for the Leica Captivate v2.30 release.

对于2017年6月26日发布的新版本，我们专注于两个人，因为我们的许多用户都在工作，然后我们投入了几个额外的好处。

这个新版本的主要主题是Coding and Lineworkand theStakeout apps. Let’s have a closer look at what we did.

New coding and linework functionalities

让我们首先看一下编码和线条的线路工作部分。

支持of line codes

新版本,Leica Captivatenow supports line codes in addition to point codes. When importing CAD drawings into Leica Captivate, the name of the layer containing a line will now be imported as the line code. This can be used to give additional information in the field and vice versa - lines measured in the field can be given a code and attributes to give additional information when editing the survey in the office.

导出到ASCII的线路工作信息

Some third party CAD software recreate the linework that was captured in the field by reading the linework flag stored with each point from an ASCII import.

Leica Caintivate的v2.30现在允许在编码设置面板中定义使用的线条标志。

When a point in a line is measured, the linework flag is automatically stored with that point. When a measured line is edited, the line itself is updated and in addition the linework flags belonging to the points are also updated.

Code boxes in the Stake/Check Road app and Measure to Line app

With Leica Captivate v2.30, the well-received coding method with code boxes has been added to the Stake/Check Road and the Measure to Line apps. This will be very beneficial when doing topographic surveys along roads or reference lines, e.g. at a certain corridor left and right of a road design centreline, and using coding for this survey.

Assign codes to points measured with a remote height

With this new feature, it is no longer necessary to add codes to high points in the office software as they can be coded directly in the field.

With this new feature, it is no longer necessary to add codes to elevated points in the office software as they can be coded directly in the field.

Extended code name length

With Leica Captivate v2.30 the possible length of code names, code descriptions and attribute values was extended from 16 to 48 characters. This includes the use of point codes, free codes and line codes.

The extended length is especially useful to enter additional information within the feature code, such as linework commands, or to include stakeout instructions for the field as part of the code.

New stakeout functionalities

对于使用Stake的每个人，Leica Caintivate v2.30中包含许多改进和新功能。大多数新功能都与放入道路有关，但也有一个用于占有点的道路。

存储一个具有多个海拔的固定点

For certain stakeout applications it is useful to store the measured point with more than one elevation. One example is staking out manholes. When measuring the centre of a manhole, the drain below may have pipelines joining at different height levels.Leica Captivate现在，允许进入多个高度以进行固定点，并在即时显示出进入高度的剪切和填充。

The new feature is available in the Stake Points app, the Stake DTM app and the Stake Points & DTM app.

Stake arcs along chords

现在要进行道路放行。第一个新功能与对齐方式中的构图有关。在某些国家 /地区，当将弧线放在对齐中时，链条不是在对齐的中心线上计算的，而是沿明确的和弦。Leica Captivate v2.30现在支持和弦定义方法，防止长期对齐的错误结果使用ARC定义。

新的道路出现横截面视图一目了然地显示了所有信息

The other new Road stakeout features are all related to the cross section view that shows a vertical cut through an alignment.

使用Leica Captivate v2.30，横截面视图现在显示了附加到作业的DTM和CAD文件的内容。此外，还引入了一个新设置，允许用户定义切换到横截面视图时应显示所有路线。

因此，在“横截面视图”中，现在显示了某个链条上的所有可用数据，以提供有关设计的完整信息。

However, the extended content of the cross section view means it can get a bit crowded. Therefore we have added a setting to vertically stretch the cross section view if needed. Users can define how much the view should be stretched and can therefore adjust this setting depending on how much information is shown in the cross section view.

The third additional feature for the cross section view is that it allows the selection of the active layer. So users can now change the active layer directly from within the Stake/Check Road app without the need to switch to a different panel. This should speed up the work process and makes it easier to check the different design elements also in the horizontal view.

The smart enhancements

Last but not least, we have added a couple of changes that we had been asked for quite a number of times.

Hide the 3D viewer in additional apps

The first change, we already started with Leica Captivate v2.20, were it was possible to hide the 3D viewer in the Measure app to see more information on the measurement while working, and switching to the 3D viewer only when needed. With Leica Captivate v2.30 this is now also possible in the Measure to Line app and in all Stakeout apps. This allows quick and easy switching between the graphical and numerical information, saving time and making sure that inconsistencies are detected early.

Persistently activate using capital letters

The second new feature relates to entering information intoLeica Captivate。一些用户更喜欢在大写字母中键入所有字母字符。使用Leica Caintivate v2.30，用户可以激活首都中的字母顺序字符，并且该软件在工作时以及在重新打开仪器后都将保持这种设置。

Notification when a new Leica Captivate version is available

我们计划继续定期发行，将新功能迅速连续地带入市场。但是，为了使我们的用户从中受益，可以及时了解新版本是有帮助的。从Leica Caintivate v2.30开始，将直接在CS20，CS35或TS/MS仪器上通知用户有关每个新版本的Leica Captivate如果仪器连接到Internet，则可以在MyWorld中使用。因此，我们的用户一旦发布就可以开始享受我们的新功能。

How can the new release be obtained?

新的Leica Caintivate v2.30现场软件版本将在myWorldfor download and will be loaded to all products runningLeica Captivateprior to delivery from the factory. To install this new version on your Controller or total station, a Customer Care Package (CCP) license valid until at least 01.05.2017 must be installed on the instrument.

If you have any particular wishes, pleasecontact your local Leica Geosystems representative.
