RoadEng/98, Terrain Tools/98 Version 3.138 Softree Technical Systems Inc. 604-519-6222 206-628-6454 (USA) mail@softree.com www.softree.com CONTENTS INTRODUCTION HARDWARE PROTECTION KEY AND PASSWORD COMPATIBILITY WITH PREVIOUS VERSIONS ENHANCEMENTS SINCE THE 98 RELEASE (VERSION 3.003) BUG FIXES SINCE THE 98 RELEASE (VERSION 3.003) INTRODUCTION Please see our web site (www.softree.com) for up to date information regarding new releases documentation and training. HARDWARE PROTECTION KEY AND PASSWORD The Terrain Tools product no longer requires a Hardware Protection Key (dongle) as of version 3.1. However certain functions are password protected. A password is provided when you purchase a licence. The remaining functions can be used as FreeWare and the protected functions can be viewed in Demonstration Mode without a passward. The RoadEng and Terrain Tools with Survey products require a Hardware Protection Key (dongle). Without the Key Survey/Map and Location modules will run in Demonstration mode. The Terrain module will run in FreeWare mode without a key or password. We recommend that you install the Sentinel System Driver on any computer that has a Hardware Protection Key attached; this is usually done automatically during installation. To install this driver manually, run "RoadEng\Drivers\Setup"; to uninstall, run "RoadEng\Drivers\Setup /u" (see also "RoadEng\Drivers\ReadMe.txt"). COMPATIBILITY WITH PREVIOUS VERSIONS There have been no significant file format changes from version 3.0xx to 3.1xx. Files are forward and backward compatible between both 3.xxx versions. Files created in previous versions of RoadEng and Terrain Tools (2.xxx and earlier) can be read in current versions.

This causes rounding problems if move from local to UTM or similar. 3.126 Terrain Can only display one terrain background at a time 3.127 Survey Retrieve screen layout (SLT) changes horizontal angle options (Declination, initial backshot, ForeShot/BackShot tolerance) - it should not. 3.128 Locatn Terrain background bitmaps not clipped in Multiplot 3.129 Survey Automatic Magnetic Anomaly adjustment attempts to adjust first shot (if foreshot-backshot difference large)- the first shot technically cannot be adjusted this way because there is no previous azimuth to turn from. 3.129 Survey Errors in notes when use dZ format and Inst. Ht. differs from Target Ht. Save and Reopen -> dZ values have changed from those entered. Also: sometimes type in new dZ, hit enter (or tab) and dZ goes back to it's old value. 3.129 Terrain Error if try to move all features in a terrain AND there is a background. (It looks like the foreground is not moving correctly, but if you look at the coordinates, you will see that the forground is correctly positioned but the background has changed incorrectly and there has been a scroll.) 3.130 All Network key only - KeySrv32.exe won't run NSLMS324.DLL not in install. 3.130 only (this dll is not required for earlier versions). 3.131 Locatn Plan Edit: mouse move of captured point does not work IF background turned on AND multi-plot with Plan window is visible 3.131 Locatn Profile Ground line draws incorrectly at first PLAN point (if it is not at start of P-Line) 3.132 All Net Sentinel C key fails on win98 machines -> "Demonstration Mode" 3.133 All Degree symbol does not display for many of the fonts stored in screen layouts 3.137 All Network Key Only - Slow to start (sometimes goes to demo mode) if NetKey roadeng.ini item not set.
