3. Exception Handling - An Exception is some illegal program code/data that causes the program to 'crash' or disappear.
   GeoCadastre will now write a 'GeoCadastre.dmp' file when it crashes.
   You can set where this file is stored in Program Settings/Advanced/Exception Settings
   When GeoCadastre is started again, it checks for a GeoCadastre.dmp file and if found displays a dialog which allows you to enter some info about the crash.
   This dialog can create a ZIP file, name format is (YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM-SS - GeoCadastre 6.47 - Exception.zip)
   The zip file will contain:
   
   • The GeoCadastre.dmp file
   • The job in use when it crashed
   • An Info.txt file containing your name, email, problem description etc.
   You can email the zip file to Mimaka for analysis of the problem.
   This approach should provide a much more precise handle on exactly what line of code caused the crash.

5. There is an option to move the lot centroid after right clicking on a selected parcel
6. In the Tools menu, there is a new option to set line accuracy by the line code. For example: if mean high water mark has been digitised from portion plans, these lines could be given a line code of 73 and all lines in the job of that code could be set to a particular accuracy.
7. In the adjustment process, points on isolated radiations which were excluded from the adjustment are now calculated in a better way.
8. Full implementation of the concept of categories for lines. From now lines will be grouped into the following categories and these categories will be used in decision making during the processing of data. The categories will be generated from the existing line types.
   Boundary: These are the lines surrounding parcels of land (Line types 0 to 899)
   Dependent: . (Easements, rights of way etc line types 900-994)
   Precise Connection: . This is a connection which is given a very high weight.(Line type 995) it is commonly used for short connections between a control point and the nearest boundary point so that the LSA effectively holds the connection as “fixed” and therefore also fixes the nearby boundary point.
   Connection: . For measured lines such as traverses, connections to marks etc(Line type 999).
   Radial: >. (line type 998) They are automatically created by the editor to join each curve centre with its corresponding boundary point. When a lot is brought back into the editor for changes or additions, the radial lines are first stripped out and then replaced as the parcel is exported out of the editor.
   Roads: . These can be used for creating “across-road” connections during editing.(line types 20 to 29)
   OriginConnection: . A special type of connection used in deed descriptions in the form: "from Point of Commencement .... to the Point of Beginning"..(Line type 996)

1. Fixed a problem when editing multiple parcels.

1. Occasionally quadrant bearings could be misread if the degrees, minutes and seconds symbols were imbedded in the text string.
2. An active control point attached only to an unjoined parcel could corrupt the adjustment and cause it to fail.
3. Major changes have been made to the XML file format for reading and writing of an XML format file.

1. Added an option to the File/program settings to reset the position of the Parcel Explorer dialog box. Sometime, particularly if multiple screens are used, the Parcel Explorer box can end up off the screen and cannot be located. This option will reset the position of the Parcel Explorer to the top right corner of the application.
2. Added a new toolbar button to get the Display Settings dialog box displayed.
3. Added a new option called Road Centreline Lot to “edit parcel” Where road centrelines are available as a framework for a parcel network, the centreline can be entered as an “unclosed lot” and this routine used to generate the connections from the centreline to the road boundary.
4. The table of accuracies and default dates can now be modified by data stored in the XML file. Existing default values will also be written to the XML file.
5. An error corrected in the calculation of areas for unclosed parcels in the “Report on Parcels” routine which could cause the program to hang. Now if a parcel is unclosed there are no area calculations in this report.

1. Fixed a problem in reading whole feet for feet and inches entry of distances for across road connections.
2. Generating an across road connection in a group of parcels could reuse an existing point in the group.

1. Fixed a problem in Find close points in Tools/Cleanup Job that did not process easement points.
2. Fixed a problem if you appended a file with control to a file without control, the join process would not work correctly because the parcels being joined were on the control point system and the main job was be on a local system. The appended parcels will now be transformed to the job co-ordinate system.
3. Fixed a problem if a datum was set and the co-ordinates were local, adjustment could fail during the formation of equations. This situation is detected and the datum is reset to ‘None’.
4. Fixed a problem if you unjoined a group of parcels and selected NO to unjoin them as a group, the program would still unjoin them as a group. This has been fixed. If you select No, they will unjoined as separate parcels.

1. Fixed a problem when the plan name is changed it automatically set the plan units to M.
2. Fixed a digitising problem where the grid ran out of rows every 10th digitised point.

1. Changed the way the date field works when a six digit date is entered. If the year is <= this year, the 05 becomes 200
2. If the year is > this year it becomes 19xx. Thus 05 -> 2005, 06 -> 2006 etc.
3. Added a plan description field to the admin tab of the dialog box.
4. Added an extra field to the Lines Tab to display the parcel units and the stated area.

9. The CleanUp job option will now automatically add radial lines to centre points if they are not present.
10. When Strings are formed, the historical parcels are placed on a different layer called Historical.
11. After entry of a group of parcels sometimes a subsequent parcel would be attached to the group.
12. The adjustment listing now shows the parcel accuracy number at the top of the parcel listing. If a line is of different accuracy to the parcel, the line accuracy value is displayed.
13. Fixed a problem on Check Lot on an unclosed parcel.
14. The Change Line Tags option has been improved to highlight the selected line and enabled or disables the Save button when you change the line type or accuracy. The name has been changed to ‘Change Line Details’.
15. When joining a group all the parcels were not moved in the Tree View from the Unjoined section to the Joined section.

1. Fixed a problem with the across road join tool which gave an incorrect connection bearing if the parcel did not have any points in the range 1-100.

1. The number of parcels which can be handled in an adjustment has been increased to about 3000, the exact number depends on the number of points.
2. The program will no longer allow a line point to be formed on a precise connection.

1. Fixed a problem in Mapinfo conversion where the .mid could get out of sync with the .mif file if an error had been reported in the data.
2. When a control point was attached to an unjoined parcel and the parcel was deleted, the control point was not deleted, this has been fixed.
3. In the Report on Parcels and Lines two extra fields have been added to the Lines report, the C-O as a ratio of the line length, the effect of a C-O in bearing on the line length. This gives an indication of the significance of the distance and bearing errors.
4. There is a new option in Cleanup Job to Force the connections to control points to be Precise Connections (995) to give them a higher weight in the adjustment.
5. The display of parcels lines on the screen has been changed to allow the user to select the line width. There is an option in File/Settings/program Settings to allow the user to enter the required line width on the screen. This has no effect on the data stored, it is only affects the screen display.
6. When editing a parcel, if you change the plan name, the program will prompt you to see if you want the new plan name to apply to this parcel only or to all parcels on the same plan.

1. Fixed a problem in joining which magnified the joining parcel.
2. The Project Report now optionally includes a list of control points. The summary line has the job and datum so that the user can user can cut and paste in a text editor or Excel to select and delete as needed and then sort to get rid of duplicates.
3. Updated the code to write XML file data to write strings data correctly.

1. Added option to hold boundary points of a job fixed during the adjustment.
2. Added an option to select parcels by window.
3. Changed the right mouse context menu for selected parcels to allow selected parcels to be unjoined.
4. When updating a control points master file, the master file can be a csv file or a .acs file. If it is an acs file, the program will check that the datum matches the current job.
5. Fixed a problem when writing the control points to the .acs file.
6. The project stats report and the Jobs Stats report now include the number of plans in each job.

1. Major internal changes have been made to model the Plans separately from the parcels. This means that when the Date, Units or True-Mid attributes of a parcel are changed, it actually changes these on the plan, and hence the changes apply to all other parcels on that plan.

1. Fixed a problem on entry of dates, it will now accept an eight digit date as ddmmyyyy in Australian locale or mmddyyyy in US locale.
2. When appending a job to an empty job the control points in the appending job are now handled correctly.
3. Fixed a problem if there was no date field specified which would crash the program.

1. Fixed a problem on entry of dates, it will now accept a six digit date as ddmmyy.

2. The Append File option can now append xml files.
3. When a group of parcels was joined, the Parcel Explorer did not move all the joined parcels to the Joined Parcels list.
4. When a group of joined parcels was appended to an empty file, the parcels were imported as joined, where they should have been automatically unjoined and formed into a group. This has been fixed.
5. Fixed a problem with some parcel co-ords not being computed for groups.
6. Fixed a problem in joining if there was an unclosed parcel.

1. Adjustment report is always generated even when the job fails with a simple initial fatal error.

It was possible to join a parcel without actually attaching it to another parcel. This has been blocked.
4. Improvements made for the interpolation of “unadjusted” points in true-mid unclosed parcels.
5. The Parcel Misclose is now shown in the join parcel window for information before joining.
6. Missing lines within an easement can now be calculated using the easement width.
7. When writing a Mapinfo file, the Compiled, Historical and True_mid parameters are now included in Lots output.
8. The order of the items in the lines report has been changed so that all the parcel data comes first and column for bearing error added. The bearing error is the measured bearing plus the parcel rotation minus the calculated bearing.
9. The Geodetic calculation engine has been altered to accommodate USA datums, please report any errors immediately.

1. Fixed a problem which crashed the program if a ‘New Parcel on Same Plan’ was done on a plan with no date of survey.

4. Fixed a problem in calculating two missing bearings or two missing distances in a parcel.
5. When a parcel is closed any unused point are automatically removed and the drawing is cleaned up.
6. Fixed a problem when units are changed when entering a new parcel, the distances are not scaled.
7. Note the Pan to Parcel option has been removed from the Zoom menu. There is a Pan to parcel option available on the Context menu (right mouse click) on a parcel in the Parcel Explorer tree view.
8. A new report on Parcels is available which includes the stated area, the area by co-ordinates (using grid distances if there is no datum, ground distances if the job has a datum) and the area by lines (measured distances).
9. The Mean Two Points option has been improved to provide a button to automatically find close points and to pan the screen to view the two points.
10. Fixed a problem reading control points from the .acs file which would assign a height value of 0.0 to points with no height value. You can change the height values in the Control Points dialog and set the height field to blank if you have no height values, or you can use the “Master File’ option to read new values for the control points.
11. The adjustment report will now note if no height values are available in the job and that the job will be assumed to be at sea level.

6. Fixed a problem in the misclose if the units were feet or metres, the misclose was being computed using the dimensions in metres and looked much worse than it was.

1. If you tick the compiled box on parcel admin dialog, the accuracy is now automatically set to class 5.
2. Fixed a problem with “check lot” and zoom all affects the screen display.

1. Fixed a problem in creation of new parcel and plan.

2. If the date is changed on a parcel, the date will automatically change for all other parcels which come from the same plan. The accuracies of those parcels will not be automatically changed.
3. “New Parcel Same Plan” will select the next available parcel number which has not yet been used. So, if the plan number is selected by clicking on lot 6 and lots 7, 8 and 9 exist, the lot number for the new parcel will be set to 10.
4. Tick box added to parcel properties menu to indicate if a lot is not a closed polygon.
This replaces the 997 parcel code. All lots with a 997 type of parcel code will automatically have the "unclosed" flag set when the job is read in and the 997 code removed.

1. Bug fixed in properties menu which could cause a job crash.
2. Bug fixed in parcel report which could cause a job crash
3. Additional tool added “connections from road lot”. This will build a series of connections for a road lot and attach them to the parcels fronting the road lot.

3. Can now change the radius and sign of the radius on a joined parcel.

1. Duplicate Parcel menu now closes correctly.
2. A problem which could sometimes occur while a group of parcels were being joined has now been fixed. Additional corrupt line point records were created for the group of parcels. These records were not saved with the job and the problem was only evident if an adjustment was run immediately after the joining process.
3. When new parcels have been created as a group, the internal line points are now automatically generated when the group is joined.

1. Changes to the properties dialogue box to automatically set the accuracy by the date or by the compiled status if the accuracy has not been set before.

The program will prompt you for the road width and the bearings of the boundary cuts at the start and the end of the road. It will then compute the offset parallel line and make it into a parcel. The line is computed to the Right’ of the existing line, if you want it on the left, set the width to be a negative offset.

1. Fixed a problem where changing a sequence of line tags with the ‘Lines’ option could crash the program.
2. Fixed a problem in Append which caused the display of the parcels to be corrupted if a join was cancelled.
3. Fixed a problem in Job Cleanup where the ‘Delete Unused Points’ option could erase some line points.
4. Added USB dongle support

6. Fixed a problem with MapInfo export which duplicated parcels with connections attached.
7. In the Lines data entry dialog box the Compute Line function would not compute any missing line outside the closed part of the lot. This was a problem when entering easements as there is often a line without dimensions. This has been fixed.

1. When reading control point names from old DOS format file (.dat,.str,.pts) the program was truncating the control point name to 10 characters, this has been increased to 20 characters.
2. When reading in parcel file, the program will now allow an accuracy code of 0, which is interpreted as ‘Use the date to derive the accuracy’.
3. A new option has been added to the Tools menu, Cleanup Job. This will reform the strings from the parcels, you can optionally erase all strings before starting. It will also now optionally erase any unused points in the job.

1. Fixed a problem with Mapinfo export file headers.
2. Fixed a problem in curves with negative radii in Mapinfo export.
3. Fixed a problem when line accuracy was set to a 6 or 7 it was not written to the output file.
4. A new option has been added to allow Program Settings. A tick box is available to turn on/off the special ‘Fix Accuracies’ processing to handle old format jobs.
5. Fix Accuracies - When reading in a compiled plan parcel, the program would set the parcel type to 0. It now does not change the parcel type unless it was a 16 or 17. The codes 16/17 were previously used to flag compiled plans and thus in this case the code is set to 0 and the compiled flag is set.

1. Duplicate parcel now allows the lot name to be changed and also allows the parcel to be duplicated to be selected with the mouse. This option no longer duplicates line points.
2. The relationship between parcels and strings has been changed to link them by name. Thus when a parcel is unjoined its strings are deleted.
3. The program will now preserve GeoSurvey Text items and will update their position if the job co-ordinates are transformed during an adjustment.
4. When reading in parcel with illegal accuracies, the user will be notified of the error and can choose to proceed or abort. If you proceed, the accuracy will be set to 7.
5. The Tools/Change Line Tag option has been improved so that it can now change the line accuracy as well. Click on the line in the parcel you want and the parcel will be highlighted on the screen and the plan and lot number will be displayed. Change the line tag and accuracy as required, the accuracy must be 1-7.

1. Fixed a problem with the Tools/Add Line Points option which would cause line points to be added to unjoined parcels.

1. A new main menu option is available ‘View’ to control the display settings. The display settings for the Points, Control and plan/lot numbers can now be turned on and off by options in this menu. A more complex display settings dialog box is available to turn all the displayable items on or off. In addition it can exclude certain parcel types from the display, this is useful when some parcel types (mining leases) overlay others and obscure them. In addition the index for the colour accuracy table is shown.
2. The display options now allow the point symbols to be turned on/off by the user.
3. The CTRL or SHIFT keys can now be used with the mouse to select multiple parcels. Once selected, the Unjoin option will unjoin all the selected parcels.
4. When editing the Lines of a joined parcel, the bearing distance and radius may now be changed. Be Careful of changing dimension of joined parcels - you should do another adjustment. Note that From/To point numbers cannot be changed.
5. When an adjustment is done, the listing file is stored in a .TMP file until the adjustment is accepted, then it is renamed to the final .LST filename. The adjustment summary display dialog box data can be selected with the mouse and copied to a text editor (and printed) if required.
6. Fixed a problem when deleting a parcel which caused a crash. It happened if you deleted the last parcel in the job, this was generally the last parcel entered or duplicated.
7. The Job Stats report is now displayed in a simple edit box. This facilitates cut and paste of the report text to a text editor. It also has extra information. It includes the job name, the name of the last parcel in the job (usually the last parcel entered - this is useful if you need to know where you are up to with data entry). It also includes the length and point numbers of the shortest line in the job and the longest line in the job.
8. When clicking on two points which are very close you can use the ALT key to select the ‘2nd’ point.
9. When duplicating parcels, the lot number is incremented correctly when the lot consists of lot and section number (‘2/17’).
10. After entering a new parcel, the program will automatically start a new parcel with the same plan admin info.
11. Fixed a display problem when some unjoined lot points were not deleted.

1. A new option is available on the Tools menu to clean up the generated strings. The strings are generated from the parcels as parcels are joined, sometimes they need to be completely reformed. This option will do that and will also clean up any associated text for the strings.
2. Improve the handling of curved easements.
3. The joining now allows a point to be joined to a radiation.
4. The mis-close in a parcel will now be displayed in the data entry units instead of always being in metres.
5. The adjustment would crash if the job filename was greater than 45 characters in length. This has been fixed.
6. The program will now check that the job Datum and Projection are present in the Map Projections file. If not, the user will be given the option of reading in the job with no datum and projection.

1. If you have a software key to activate the software, you will need a new key to run this version. Please contact your software distributor for a new software key. Run the File/Settings/License option and copy the ‘Raw Key’ value and send it to your software distributor via email. A new ‘Final Key’ value will be returned to you, paste it into the Final key fied and press the ‘Test Software Key’ button.
2. When parcels are entered in a group data entry of curves has been improved to allow entry of curved by arc distance only. It will check the adjacent lines to derive the curve chord details. If a line is defined by the point numbers are each end it will get the bearing and distance from a previous parcel if possible. Not that point numbers can be entered by clicking on the points on the screen.

1. During Lines entry the F8 key will now check the parcel close.
2. Fixed a problem with reading old .pts DOS cadastral jobs which contained line points, this caused some parcels to be corrupted.

1. The Select Parcel option has been improved is its handling of the list when parcels are unjoined or deleted. It can also handle parcels with the same name correctly.
2. During parcel entry, the parcel an automatic Zoom All is done after each line is entered. If the user does an explicit Zoom function, it will stop doing the automatic Zoom All.
3. During parcel entry the Zoom All is done to half scale so that the full parcel can be seen in the main window and is not obscured by the Lines dialog box.
4. Fixed a display problem for line point symbols not being displayed in the right quarter of the screen.
5. The Line Points display can now be turn on or off in the Tools menu - ‘Display Line Points’

8. The mouse wheel can now be used to pan the screen up/down or left to right or to zoom in/out. Move the mouse wheel to pan up/down, press ALT and move the wheel to pan left/right. Press CONTROL and move the wheel to zoom in/out. There is also a tick box on the job settings called ‘Mouse Wheel’ which set the default action of the mouse wheel to Zoom in/out.
9. A bug has been removed from the Join display box when autojoin was used. The residuals for Autojoined line points were not displayed correctly.
10. The program will now accept additional lots during data entry. You can enter any number of parcels together as a group. When entering a group, the entry of curved sides automatically check the adjacent parcels to determine the centre point to use for the curve.

1. Bugs fixed in the adjustment in the allocation of weights and the dE and dN values for the report. Both bugs probably came in during the changes in V3.35.
2. In adjustment report, ground distances are now shown instead of grid distances
3. The adjustment summary now includes the C-O sigma value, the maximum shift and a list of the worst errors in the job. It has also been enhanced with facility to view output file.

10. The LAIS “number” is now forced to be three characters e.g., 030 etc
11. Fixed a problem where a lot with more than 600 sides would not calculate mis-closes correctly when in the joined mode.
12. The parcel selection options have been changed to select the parcel on the first click and to colour the selected parcel in Yellow. It will also draw the parcel lines and highlight each of the parcel points with a small rectangle.
13. As new control points are added, they are now immediately displayed on the main network.
14. Mean two points routine improved.
15. In adjustment report, bug removed which sometimes gave a “Bad code on radiation” message incorrectly. The line number in the lot is now reported in the error message.

12. The error message “Error in reference in cadsolve” has been fixed.
13. When data comes from a cadastral database or a GeoSurvey job certain points may be marked as control point and have a control point name but will not have the ‘control co-ordinates’. The program will now fabricate a control point record and will use the point co-ordinates as the control co-ordinates. These control points will be flagged as inactive. This facilitates processing data extracted from the database.

1. USA grids now available using reference grid file.
2. Join vectors now displayed during the joining process.

1. Lambert projection now available for USA work.
2. Bug corrected in reading coordinates from Newgans adjustment for updating coordinates.

1. Bug corrected in handling “digitised” lots (Type 7) in the adjustment which could set the coordinates of these lots to x=0 and y=0..
2. Multi- easement line codes in old files (.par ) are automatically converted to separate easements. Easement type 961 generates easements type 994 and 99 Type 971 generates 970 and 992, type 973 generates 992 and 991, type 974 generates 991 and 990 and type 975 generates 970,992 and 990.

1. Revision of the joining process.
2. Revision of the append process to handle large data sets which include “digitised” parcels.
3. Mapinfo export of parcels and easements has been revised with respect to the way that line points are handled. If a line point exists for the particular line being tested (that is they both have the same end point records) it will be adopted. If the line point has been generated for another line and its offset is within the test limit and the distance from the line point to the nearest end point is greater than the test limit, then it will also be adopted.

1. Rewrote the Mapinfo extraction to handle the easment to easment line points.
2. If it has not been set before, the adjustment will now set the derived lot accuracy into the parcel record.

3. A report generating project statistics has been added. It will examine all .ACS files in the current work directory and for each file will report on the following: File Name, total lots, number joined, total lines, total connections, total radial lines. There is one line per file with the values separated by commas.
4. Digitizing lines in the parcel edit mode has been improved. Lines are now drawn and the lot recomputed as points are selected with the mouse.
5. Adjustment now caters for very short lines (less than 300mm) which can occur with steps in party walls etc.
6. The adjustment will manage curved easements even if the easement data is excluded.
7. The tools menu has an option to delete all unjoined parcels. This has been added to facilitate the “clean up” of a job.
8. When updating control coordinates from a control file, all control points in the file are tested but the program will only warn of unused control which is inside of a window which surrounds the job with 100 metres clearance.

1. Program name has been changed to GeoCadastre
2. Four new buttons have been added to the toolbar. They are:
   Properties to display or change the administration details for a parcel.

5. The ESC key can be used to quit out of most menus as well as to un-highlight any points.
6. A floating menu for zoom functions and properties can be invoked by use of the right mouse button.
7. The image routines have been improved. It will now orient using two just points if that is necessary. If three or more points are used it will use an affine transformation. If more that four points are used it will detect bad points and exclude them before computing the affine transformation parameters.
8. Changes have been made to the Lots Report
9. The dialogue box for point parameters now shows grid convergence and point scale factor if the job co-ordinates are on a geodetic datum.

1. The main toolbar has been changed.
2. Under parcels, the following options are available
   Select Unjoined To select an unjoined parcel

   Select joined parcels has buttons to initiate the menus for “Admin”, “Edit lines” and “Unjoin”. Parcels can be selected from the screen by clicking on to the lot number with the mouse.
   New will set up a new parcel and display the admin menu for that parcel. If a lot on the selected plan has been entered before, Some of the admin details from that plan such as the plan date etc will be set up.
   Duplicate will duplicate the selected parcel. If the lot number is numeric, it will add one to the lot number and use that for the new parcel. The new parcel will then be selected.
   If the parcel is accepted, the duplicate menu will be redisplayed for the next parcel. This allows the operator to generate a number of parcels when they are all the same. If you hit the cancel button, the current parcel will not be created.
   Admin displays the admin data for the parcel currently selected and allows editing of that data.
   Lines displays the lines for the parcel currently selected. If the lot is joined, line can only be added. If the lot is unjoined, lines can added or deleted as necessary.
4. The Mapinfo output will now generate a series of short chords for curved lines on parcels.

1. Digitizing has been implemented in the data entry module. The “from point” and the “to point” can be selected by mouse from points on the screen If the cursor is on the “to point “ column and there is a valid “from point” new points can be selected by clicking on points on the image.

6. An “order of accuracy” number is now stored for each parcel and one can be also stored for each line if desired. Parcel codes in the range above 1999 are automatically translated to lot accuracy codes. The existing rules for weighting in adjustments still apply, but the use of lot and line codes to force specific weighting will be phased out in favour of directly setting the parcel or line order of accuracy.
7. An “are you sure” message box added to the “Delete Parcel” option.
8. Button provided for Tags menu.
9. Job Parameters menu has been implemented.

1. Append a job has been implemented. The job is read in and displayed ready for joining to the existing data. If joining is carried out the lots are appended to the existing data. Provision has been made to also include unjoined lots and control points from the appended job if required.
2. When editing a Parcel, the current units, date and parcel tag are set from the existing values as soon as the plan is selected.

1. Error corrected in the joining when clicking on a point to deselect it.
2. Error corrected in the routine to add a line point.
3. Tags menu implemented. Type in the new line tag and the line type will be displayed. As you click on lines, the lot and plan for the line will be displayed and the line type changed.
4. Points in an unjoined lot are automatically re-numbered starting at point 1. This is necessary for lots created from strings in GeoSurvey as they may have high point numbers.
5. These weights will now be applied in the adjustment for the following parcel types:
   compiled plans (lot type 16) Bearingssd = 300 seconds
   Distancessd = 200mm + 125 ppm
   digitized plans (lot type 17) Bearingssd = 3600 seconds
   Distancessd = 1 metre + 1000 ppm
   Lot types in the 8000 series will be treated as lot type 16

3. Across road connections now calculated correctly for feet and links input.
4. Information box now provided for additional closing lines in a parcel.
5. Problem fixed when renumbering points during the un-joining of a complex parcel.
6. When a parcel is saved at the end of an editing session, across road connections will be calculated for all pairs of lines type 2 If a road width is not entered for a line, the connection will not be calculated for either end of that line. If the CANCEL button is pressed, the program will stop generating across road connections. This is useful when editing a parcel where the across road connections have been computed on a previous editing session.

1. When adding control, the new point can be selected by mouse, and the current position of the point will be displayed as the control coordinates.
2. Show parcel menu added for joined parcels and the lots can be selected by mouse.
3. Lines can be added to a joined parcel using the “change” option and number of lines can be added provided that coordinates can be computed for the new corners from the “joined” corners.

2. Line points now incorporated in all strings.
3. Angle mode can be toggled on or off with the tick box at the top left corner of the dialogue box. The first line must have a bearing and subsequent bearing fields are for angles. Each angle is on the right of the traverse measured from the previous line to the current line
4. Curves can be specified by arc length by entering the arc distance preceded by an A in the distance field. The chord distance will be calculated and written back to the distance field. If the bearing of the chord is not available, leave that field blank and it will be calculated as well. If the bearing is not available the preceding line must be a tangential straight or a tangential curve.
5. Connections across roads can now be automatically generated if lines with a road frontage have a line tag of between 20 and 2
6. When the parcel is saved, the system will ask for the road width for each road line and will then compute and add the “across road” connections. If a road width is not entered, the connection will not be computed.
7. In joining, the right mouse button is now used for selecting lines and the left mouse button for points.
8. When entering a new lot for an existing plan, the plan date, plan units and lot code will be set up automatically from the last lot entered for that plan.

1. Program now aligned with GeoSurvey
2. Old cadastral files can now be read in. Only the .PAR, .PTS and .DAT are used. The strings are rebuilt from the parcels as they are read in. The .DAT file is only used to read in the control data.
   For the strings:

   There is no provision to write old files and there is no guarantee that CAD20 will be able to use all the features in the .ACS files created by GEOCADASTRE.

1. Program has been restructured to allow it to include and manipulate strings and deal with layers. This is part of the process to align GeoCadastre and GeoSurvey so that they can be used on the same file without either program destroying data set up by the other program. This alignment is not yet complete for GeoCadastre.
2. Curves are now drawn during the editing and joining process.
3. Bug removed when printing out large adjustments.

1. Parcel Edit now implemented with parcel being drawn as data is entered or changed.
2. Feet and inches and quadrant bearing input now implemented.
3. Parcel Joining implemented. Note that all selection is carried out with the left mouse button. When joining, the lot can be dragged with the mouse by holding on to the lot number with the left mouse button down. The lot will rotate to the join azimuth after two points have been selected.
4. Autojoin is now implemented

1. Adjustment altered to directly access the ATA array
2. Curved lines are now drawn correctly
3. Line points are now checked before adjustment proceeds.
4. A check is made for any “Close points” before adjustment proceeds.

1. Options to Force Line Points and to “Straighten Lines” added to the adjustment.
2. Mapinfo Output added.
