Changed

  • Licensing system replaced — now uses online activation (Keygen) instead of bundled licence files
  • Product edition determined by licence type, not licence file

Fixed

  • Arc creation at non-zero elevations
  • R3Properties — area display with significant figures, arc details at non-zero Z, sync with layer and swing changes, custom units
  • Smart Strings — fieldbook numbers in warnings, layer overwriting, code handling edge cases
  • Traverse entry in feet and inches
  • Dh command — decimal places reduced

1.0.0.1 — March 2025

Added

  • Initial release
  • Traverse entry (R3TRAV)

  • Survey plan layer management (R3PL)

Known issues

  • Configure plans and layers before drawing — renaming layers afterwards can cause issues

  • .11 is not accepted as 0'-11" in feet and inches — use a leading zero
