Leica Captivate v2.30 - the next great release

在Leica Caintivate v2.10和v2.20的发行版本之后，我们收到了许多有关包含的新功能的很好的反馈。我们再次向用户倾听，希望我们将再次获得Leica Caintivate v2.30版本的良好反馈。

For this new version, released on June 26th 2017, we have concentrated on two are-as that lots of our users work in and then we have thrown in a couple of extra goodies for good measure.

The main topics of this new release areCoding and Linework和StakeOut应用程序。让我们仔细看看我们的所作所为。

新的编码和线条功能

Let’s first look at the linework part of coding and linework.

Support of line codes

使用新版本，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.

Linework information exported to ASCII

一些第三方CAD软件通过阅读ASCII导入的每个点存储的线条标志来重新创建现场捕获的线条。

V2.30 of Leica Captivate now allows defining the used linework flags in the Coding settings panel.

当测量线中的一个点时，将自动存储该点的线路标志。编辑测量线后，将更新线本身，此外，还会更新属于点的线路工程标志。

赌注/检查道路应用程序中的代码框，并测量到线路应用程序

使用Leica Caintivate v2.30，带有代码框的良好的编码方法已添加到股票/检查道路和线路应用程序的措施中。在沿着道路或参考线进行地形调查时，这将非常有益，例如在道路设计中心线的某个走廊的左右走廊上，并使用编码进行调查。

Assign codes to points measured with a remote height

有了这项新功能，不再需要将代码添加到Office软件中的高点，因为它们可以直接在现场进行编码。

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.

扩展代码名称长度

使用Leica Caintivate v2.30代码名称的可能长度，代码描述和属性值从16个字符扩展到48个字符。这包括使用点代码，免费代码和行代码。

扩展长度对于在功能代码（例如LINEWORK命令）中输入其他信息或作为代码的一部分中包含字段说明的其他信息特别有用。

新的利益功能

For everyone using Stakeout, there are a number of improvements and new features included in Leica Captivate v2.30. Most of the new features are related to staking roads but there is also one for staking points.

Store a staked point with multiple elevations

对于某些放行应用程序，以多个高程存储测量点很有用。一个例子是放下人孔。在测量人孔的中心时，下面的排水管可能会在不同高度水平上连接。Leica Captivatenow allows entering multiple heights for a staked point and, on the fly, shows the cut and fill for those entered elevations.

新功能可在Stake Points应用程序，Stake DTM应用程序和Stake Points＆DTM应用程序中使用。

Stake arcs along chords

Now for the Road stakeout. The first new feature is related to staking arcs in alignments. In some countries, when staking arcs in an alignment, the chainage is not calculated along the centreline of the alignment but along defined chords of the arc. Leica Captivate v2.30 now supports the chord definition method, preventing wrong results over long alignments from using the arc definition.

New road stakeout cross section view shows all information at a glance

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

With Leica Captivate v2.30, the cross section view now shows the content of the DTM and CAD files attached to the job. Further, a new setting is introduced, allowing users to define that all road layers should be displayed when switching to the cross section view.

So in the cross section view, all data available at a certain chainage is now shown at a glance to give full information on the design.

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.

智能增强功能

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.

使用大写字母持续激活

The second new feature relates to entering information intoLeica Captivate.Some users prefer typing all alphabetical characters in capital letters. With Leica Captivate v2.30 users can activate entering alphabetical characters in capitals and the software will stay with this setting while working and also after turning the instrument off and on again.

Notification when a new Leica Captivate version is available

我们计划继续与普通版本,bringing new features to the market quickly and in short succession. For our users to benefit from this, however, it is helpful to be informed about new releases promptly. From Leica Captivate v2.30 onward, users will be informed directly on the CS20, CS35 or TS/MS instrument about each new version ofLeica Captivatethat is available in myWorld, if the instrument is connected to the internet. So our users can start enjoying our new features as soon as they are released.

如何获得新版本？

The new Leica Captivate v2.30 field software version will be available on我的世界用于下载，并将加载到所有运行的产品bob综合app下载Leica Captivate从工厂交付之前。要在您的控制器或Total Station上安装此新版本，客户服务包（CCP）许可证有效，直到必须在仪器上安装至少01.05.2017。
