This week's update focusses on some helpful features which are aimed to save designers more time creating assets and also tidying up some loose ends with some of the automated features recently added.

  • 'ADACClone' has been updated to accurately clone polyline and polygon assets from selected model space objects. Dynamic attributes such as length, invert, area and elevation are updated automatically to match the new asset, while static attributes remain consistent with the source asset.
  • Level based attributes from nearby assets can now also be prefilled automatically during cloning. Pipe assets will extract surface levels from the elevation/Z value of the nearest connected manhole, maintenance shaft, pit or end structure at each end. Likewise, point assets can automatically inherit invert levels when cloned from existing nearby pipe assets. For this to work, the relevant source assets must already be present in the drawing.
  • When selecting the invert level of point type assets with multiple entering/exiting pipes the user can select as many polyline/line objects as desired, pressing enter to end the selection. The lowest end point elevation/z value will be assigned.
  • ADACId/ObjectId now accepts spaces and special characters.
  • When exporting a project, a new option to package all exported files into a single zip folder is available.
  • Users will no longer have to remember to type 'ADACCUIx' each time the ribbon bar tab is updated or currently isn't installed. infrADAC now recognises when the tab is not installed or out of date when starting and will prompt the user to install the latest version.
  • Supplementary assets can now have their global attributes preset in the 'ADACGlobalAttributes' window.
  • When updating the surface level of a point type asset the objects elevation/z value is also updated to match. Similarly, when updating a line or polyline type asset's end point invert level, the objects corresponding end point is also updated to match.
  • When cloning more than 30 assets the ADACId/Object list shown in the success message prompt is removed to reduce screen clutter.
  • Changing the length or invert of a pipe asset will now automatically update the grade attribute.
  • The asset properties form no longer clips the right edge of the form from being visible. This is still being improved but solves the clipping issue in the meantime.
  • The processing form that appears when adding bulk contours now correctly animates instead of freezing.
