New features
Version 2.04 now allows sketching in left-extended profile and later change the direction of development without experiencing display problems. If you had sketched in left-extended profile with an earlier version, you must follow these instructions to fix those sketches:
Install version 2.04
Save the PDB cave file (on the SD card or via HotSync) as a backup in case of a problem
Open the cave in Auriga and select a left-extended profile in Cave Details
either, if you only have a few survey shots or sketches to change:
Display the Map in extended profile
Select self-adjusted sketch elements in extended profile and convert them into fixed sketch elements (with the Element Details form)
or, if you have a large number or sketches to change:
Open the Main form
Select the cave that must be fixed
Open the Operations form (with the Cave/Operations menu)
Apply the "Self-adjust Sketch->Fixed" option of the "Shots" view
Open the Main form
Select the cave that must be fixed
Open the Operations form (with the Cave/Operations menu)
Apply the "Flip Sketches" option of the "Shots" view
Note: If only part of the cave must be flipped, it can be done through a Selection (see manual) or an export of that part into an empty cave, later merged back into the original cave after the exported survey shots were removed from it.
- timestamp of survey shot updated when its geographic position, measure or measure-related attributes are changed
- in Export form, when changing the default name of the export file, if this file already exists, an alert is popped up before overwriting it
- in the SVG map export, when exporting only selected survey shots, the automatic export scale is computed based on the selection size
- in the SVG map export, the scale can be determined by the user as long as it remains suitable with the exported map and paper sizes
- when using the Text tool in sketch, the Auriga Keypad opens in its previous layout (alphabetic or numeric)
- option "Recount Session Shots" added in Caves view of Operations form
- option "Full Screen Cave Map" moved from Preferences to Display forms for consistency
- Auriga preferences can now be backed up and restored from memory card when called from Main form
- cave origin station displayed as a landmark in Map if not on 0,0,0
- streak-free Map move in Pan mode
- if only one loop in the cave, it is automatically set as the current loop for analysis
- in the Loops view of the Operations form, the "Export as New Cave" option now allows to select the target cave category
- in Sketching mode, the "Full Screen Cave Map" option in Preferences was not well ignored, sometimes hiding controls in Map when zooming the Map, sketches would sometimes not be redrawn
- in black Map background, the scale could appear highlighted
- in black Map background, after selecting a sketch color, the sketch tools could disappear
- sketches drawn in Extended profile did not follow the direction of development when it changed
- upon returning from the Paper tab in the (line plot) Export form, the Card checkbox did not reappear when relevant
- sometimes, with the Auriga-computed scale, the Map would appear truncated in the SVG export
- wrong passage heights exported in hidden DXF layer in Top view
- using the Auriga Keypad to input cave names in a network could crash
- beaming one or more selected caves from Main form did not work well
- the new loop alert could pop up in Survey Shot form after saving an already existing survey shot
- in very odd cases, the Selection form could crash after changing the viewed cave category filter
- the Auriga Keypad could not be opened from the Measures form
- in the Measures form, upon saving a survey shot form with no backsight, the azimuth and slope fields would get cleared
- when applying the "Associate to Session" operation, the number of shots in sessions were not updated
- selecting survey shots from Map no longer worked
- the "Accept Dubious Data" preference was not saved
- the List form would not always scroll to the currently selected line on devices with a virtual Graffiti area
- networks built from caves with origin XYZ corresponding to geographic coordinates linked with the "Use Cave Origin as Offset" type did not appear properly ordered in Map
- beaming a network and its caves would fail
