As you can see from this last slide, training and support ranks highest on the level of importance as the main barrier if counties were to replace their existing software.

"Eagle Point Makes Changes to Their Subscription Program" 5/23/08

This just in from Eagle Point Corporation..."Over the course of the last year, we evaluated our Subscription Programs. As part of this evaluation process, we conducted surveys with our clients regarding their respective plans. Based on that feedback, we are implementing changes to all of our Subscription Programs."

"Previously, a part of our Subscription Plans, we shipped CD's each quarter throughout the contract period. As reflected in the feedback from our clients, as well as our research, we are reducing the quantity of CD's that we send on an annual basis".

"We feel this change will benefit you by:

  • Providing the same number of enhancements, updates within the year without the quarterly installation and rollout overhead.

  • Having the CD releases coincide with the release of new CAD Platforms and Operating Systems".

 

 

"Eagle Point makes inroads into AutoDesk Business Relationship"

  Eagle Point has announced that they have recently formed a relationship with Autodesk as an Independent Software Vendor (ISV).  I have attached their latest release and for more information just click on this link: Eagle Point as Autodesk Vendor News

Important CD Release Information!

RECENT CHANGES TO THE DISTRIBUTION PROCESS FOR ALL FUTURE SOFTWARE RELEASES.
With the new contract with Eagle Point, CRAB has now taken on the task of distributing the CD releases directly from our ftp site to each of the sublicensed counties. The CD’s will no longer be sent out in snail mail, so all counties using Eagle Point will now need to download the new releases from our FTP site. You will still need the legal authorization codes on the computer that your downloading this folder to so this will insure Eagle Point of no illegal copying of their software.

We hope this new way of distribution will insure that all counties get their upgrades without any disruption. So if haven’t already done so, I would encourage you to download the latest CD folder from our ftp site and give a try to see how this new way of distribution works for you.

 Here is the link to the Eagle Point folder for you download the new software version: ftp://ftp.crab.wa.gov/DesignSystems/Eagle_Point_Software/
(Then just pick the CD release folder that you want to download i.e. 2008.Q1.Release 8.1.0.) 

Keep in mind these two rules when you download;

1) Copy the folder directly to your local hard drive and run the executable file from that location and not from your network. If you try to run from the network it will not recognize the executable.

2) If your county is on dial up or your internet gets busy during high usage, then it could take an incredible amount of time to download the files so they either have to do the downloading late at night or I will have to burn cd's just for these folks (hopefully there will only be a minor amount of these issues).

 Feel free to provide me feedback both good and bad with your experience so that I can make this new distribution method as  painless as possible for all. For more information you can contact me or Bob Davis, our IT specialist, at bob@CRAB.wa.gov

 Regards,
Jim

Eagle Point has released the 8.1.0 Patch for its Civil/Survey/LANDCADD product suite. 5/23/08

 

REGARDING COMPATIBILITY WITH AUTOCAD 2009, RECEIVED THIS RESPONSE DIRECTLY FROM EAGLE POINT CORP. 4/1/08. "As Acad 2009 Map official release/ship date is not for another week, April 8th, we do not officially support it yet.  Our timeline is to have our compatible release in early May.  The version will be the 8.1.0 or 8.2.0, which will be the next release after the version you have.  Over the past year we released our Pinnacle series of software and SMI 2008 (which used virtually all our internal development resources, and are just finishing our internal restructuring for development and enhancement track for the rest of our software."
SO THERE YOU GOT IT, STRAIGHT FROM THE SOURCE!

 

Here is the link to CRAB's FTP site to the Eagle Point folder for you to download the new software version: ftp://ftp.crab.wa.gov/DesignSystems/Eagle_Point_Software/
(Then just pick the CD release folder that you want to download i.e. 2008.Q1.Release 8.1.0.) 

 

Patch Updates:CRAB Design Systems Support Program recommends that you wait to install the CD from our FTP site rather than downloading and applying the patch. Our VIP status is maintained via installation of the software that is delivered on the CD. The patch does not do so. If you install the software patch, you will also need to "re-install" the software from the CD in order to keep our VIP status current.

Periodically, Eagle Point releases patch updates to the Eagle Point Civil/Survey/LandCADD product lines. These patches contain enhancements as well as fixes for reported defects.

Some of the new stuff in Eagle Point 2008 8.1.0        TOP of PAGE    

What's Changed in Eagle Point for 8.1.0

The following items discuss the most recent changes found in this version of Eagle Point software. Please note that the following sections are organized alphabetically, by module, starting with System level changes followed by enhancements and bug fixes.

System

  • Support Folder: The file format for the STRUCTURE.LIB file in the Eagle Point Support\SW folder has changed. This change was made to all custom sewer junction symbols to be placed in the plan drawing for both Storm Sewers and Sanitary Sewers. To avoid problems in a shared support folder scenario, all users should update to the current version at the same time.
  • AutoCAD 2009 is now a supported CAD engine. AutoCAD 200x users upgrading to AutoCAD 2009 only need to run the Configure CAD Engine from the Eagle Point Administrator Program to "point" to the AutoCAD 2009 acad.exe file. The 2008 8.1.0 CD also contains AutoCAD 2009 as a supported CAD engine during installation. If AutoCAD 2009 is the only version of AutoCAD that is installed on the workstation and there is no previous version of Eagle Point installed, you will need the 2008 8.1.0 CD.
  • AutoCAD Map 3D 2009 is now a supported CAD engine. AutoCAD Map users upgrading to AutoCAD Map 3D 2009 only need to run the Configure CAD Engine from the Eagle Point Administrator Program to "point" to the AutoCAD Map 3D 2009 acad.exe file. The 2008 8.1.0 CD also contains AutoCAD Map 3D 2009 as a supported CAD engine during installation. If AutoCAD Map 3D 2009 is the only version of AutoCAD Map installed on the workstation and there is no previous version of Eagle Point installed, you will need the 2008 8.1.0 CD.
  • AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 is now a supported CAD engine. AutoCAD Civil 3D users upgrading to AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 only need to run the Configure CAD Engine from the Eagle Point Administrator Program to "point" to the AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 acad.exe file. The 2008 8.1.0 CD also contains AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 as a supported CAD engine during installation. If AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 is the only version of AutoCAD Civil 3D installed on the workstation and there is no previous version of Eagle Point installed, you will need the 2008 8.1.0 CD.
    • Note: Eagle Point will only utilize AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 as a CAD engine. It will not take advantage of any Civil 3D data.
  • Prototye Drawings (AutoCAD Only): The profile prototype drawings for have been updated for RoadCalc, Sanitary Sewers, Storm Sewers and Water Surface Profiling. The prototype RCPROF.DWG, SSPROF.DWG, STPROF.DWG and WPPROF.DWG drawings located in \support\dwg\ folder were updated to allow object snaps in AutoCAD 2009, AutoCAD Map 3D 2009 and AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 to work on heavy polylines (plinetype = 0). These new drawings will not replace drawings that you have modified. It will only replace the original drawings that Eagle Point installed. However, it is a good idea to back up any of these drawings that you have customized. You may need to create new prototype drawings if you are having problems with object snaps. 
  • Accusnap (MicroStation V8, XM only): Accusnap did not display the snap marker within an Eagle Point command such as Place Node. Accusnap now correct displays the snap marker within Eagle Point commands.
  • Origin Snap (MicroStation XM Only): Using an Origin snap to snap to an Eagle Point Node would not snap correctly. This problem has been correct for all Nodes that are placed from this point forward. All existing Eagle Point Nodes will still have the same problem.
  • Publish from Sheet Sets Manager (AutoCAD 2007-2009 Only): Using the Publish command within the Sheet Set Manager no longer places Done repeatedly on the command line when you are using the Background Publish option.

COGO

  • Leader Attributes (MicroStation XM Only): When leadering an Eagle Point Node in MicroStation XM, the text attributes were not placed in the correct location. This problems has been resolved.
  • Command Line Place Node - EPPN (AutoCAD 2007-2009): When you turned off a prompt, all prompts following were also turned off. This problem has been resolved.

Drafting

  • Annotate Station-Offset (MicroStation XM Only): When using an Annotation Style that have Station and/or Offset individually, you can't snap to an endpoint of a line. That has been corrected.

Profiles

  • Modify Structure: When you modify a structure that has annotation that is leadered to the right, the text would be moved to 0,0 coordinates. The text now remains in the relative location to the structure being modified.
  • Modify Structure: Smooth leadered annotation on structures was reverting to straight line leaders when the structure was modified. The problem has been corrected.
  • Annotate Inlet/Manhole (MicroStation Only): If the Arrow option was selected to placed when annotating an inlet or manhole by leader, no annotation would be placed. Annotation is now correctly placed when an arrow is also selected to be placed.

RoadCalc

  • Plan and Profile Sheets (MicroStation Only): A new option called Sheet Creation was added to Plan and Profile Sheets. The two options are Scaled to Paper Size and Plan Drawing Coordinates. When Scaled to Paper Size is selected, the Plan and Profile sheets will be create as they were in previous version. The plan and profile drawings being referenced into the Plan and Profile Sheet are scaled down to paper size. The Plan Drawing Coordinate option keeps that plan and profile drawing at real size. The plan drawing is also positioned into its real coordinate location. This allows you to check values in the plan drawing. Annotation command within Drafting and commands within COGO allow you to check your sheets or place the finishing touches on your plan and profile sheets before they are submitted. For more information, watch the Plan Drawing Coordinate video.
  • Plan and Profile Sheets: An option was added to automatically reference a title block into your sheet. Toggle on the option, select a title block and enter a scale factor. Specify the Delta X and Delta Y values from the Sheet Origin. The Delta X and Delta Y values are displacement values in the X and Y direction respectively from the lower left corner of the sheet.
  • AASHTO 2004 Speed Tables are now included on the CD. To install the horizontal and vertical speed tables, place the 2008 8.1.0 CD in your CD drive. The install is located in the Goodies Folder on the root of the CD. The install will append the 2004 tables into the existing speed tables list.
  • Profile Settings: When you viewed the Sight Parameter Settings within the Profile Settings dialog box, the settings were written out with a space between values. This could eventually cause Eagle Point to crash if you accessed it enough times. Spaces are now removed from existing files and spaces are no longer written out between values.
  • Plan and Profile Sheets: When an alignment ended on a curve the rotation angle of the plan drawing was not always correct. This problem has been resolved.
  • Plan and Profile Sheets (MicroStation Only) - Levels are now correctly turned off in Plan and Profile Sheets for Storm and Sanitary Sewers referenced into the profile design file.
  • Plan and Profile Sheets: Plan and Profiles are now created correctly when using negative coordinates for sheet positions.
  • Update Cross Section Sheets (AutoCAD / BricsCad): Drawings that are currently in paperspace or last saved in paperspace were updated incorrectly. The command has been changed to change to modelspace before any updates are made to the cross section sheets.

Sanitary Sewers

  • Sanitary Sewers - Structure Library: A new option has been added to the Structure Library that allows you to select a custom symbol to place at junction locations. Modify any existing Junctions in the structure library or add a new junction and toggle on the Custom Symbol Option. Specify a path and block name or cell library and cell for the custom symbol. Specify the desired scale for the symbol when it is placed into the plan drawing along with the Sanitary Sewer Network. The CAD properties use the 2D Junction CAD properties found in Network Settings. For more information, watch the Custom Inlet and Manhole video.
  • Plan and Profile Sheets: An option was added to automatically reference a title block into your sheet. Toggle on the option, select a title block and enter a scale factor. Specify the Delta X and Delta Y values from the Sheet Origin. The Delta X and Delta Y values are displacement values in the X and Y direction respectively from the lower left corner of the sheet.
  • Plan and Profile Sheets (MicroStation Only): A new option called Sheet Creation was added to Plan and Profile Sheets. The two options are Scaled to Paper Size and Plan Drawing Coordinates. When Scaled to Paper Size is selected, the Plan and Profile sheets will be create as they were in previous version. The plan and profile drawings being referenced into the Plan and Profile Sheet are scaled down to paper size. The Plan Drawing Coordinate option keeps that plan and profile drawing at real size. The plan drawing is also positioned into its real coordinate location. This allows you to check values in the plan drawing. Annotation command within Drafting and commands within COGO allow you to check your sheets or place the finishing touches on your plan and profile sheets before they are submitted. For more information, watch the Plan Drawing Coordinate video.

Storm Sewers

  • Storm Sewers - Structure Library: A new option has been added to the Structure Library that allows you to select a custom symbol to place at junction locations. Modify any existing Junctions in the structure library or add a new junction and toggle on the Custom Symbol Option. Specify a path and block name or cell library and cell for the custom symbol. Specify the desired scale for the symbol when it is placed into the plan drawing along with the Storm Sewer Network. The CAD properties use the 2D Junction CAD properties found in Network Settings. For more information, watch the Custom Inlet and Manhole video.
  • Storm Sewers - Plan and Profile Sheets: An additional option has been added to the Custom Symbols option to allow you to specify different custom symbols for both inlets and manholes. Previously, you could only specify one custom symbol. The Profile Junction custom symbol is now used for any manhole junctions. The new custom symbol of Profile Inlet Junction will be used for any junctions that have inlets attached. It is optional to use both of these custom symbols. For more information, watch the Custom Inlet and Manhole video
  • Plan and Profile Sheets: An option was added to automatically reference a title block into your sheet. Toggle on the option, select a title block and enter a scale factor. Specify the Delta X and Delta Y values from the Sheet Origin. The Delta X and Delta Y values are displacement values in the X and Y direction respectively from the lower left corner of the sheet.
  • Plan and Profile Sheets (MicroStation Only): A new option called Sheet Creation was added to Plan and Profile Sheets. The two options are Scaled to Paper Size and Plan Drawing Coordinates.

   CRAB'S Eagle Point Training Schedule     TOP of PAGE

Schedule of Classes for WInter/Spring 2008 & 2009:

Training classes are closed during the annual County road project construction season and will commence once again following the fall Road Design Conference. If you have a large group in need of traininig, I will conduct a custom training class for your county, just let me know.


REGISTER FOR TRAINING
 

CRAB prides itself on offering the counties training courses suited for both the engineering and surveying professionals. These courses reaffirm our commitment to our county partners. No one can  match the level of knowledge and real life experience that our certified and licensed trainer can provide.    
For details, take a look at CRAB’s
Eagle Point Training Advantages:

   • Learning curve is sharply decreased so you become more productive to your County organization.
   • Each student has their own computer.
   • Instructor is a licensed engineer as well as having more than 20 years of professional experience.
   • Working relationship with the people that designed the software

In addition to step-by-step instruction using practical design solutions, users learn timesaving shortcuts.  Each student also receives a comprehensive training manual and data files that can be taken back to the office to be used as a valuable reference guide. Small class sizes insure that students receive the maximum amount of attention from the instructors. Students are taught using real-life examples, providing them with skills that can be applied immediately upon return to the office.

All classes use the latest release of the Eagle Point Software and AutoCAD 2006, as well as the Microsoft's latest business application Operating System. Our aim is to expose you to the best technology available and for you to take back with you valuable information not only on the design software, but other aspects of computing as well. As always, the coffee is plentiful and the donuts are always served fresh. The only cost to you is if you don't attend!

                                    Very approachable – answered all my questions. Look forward to follow-                                                  up answers – email, etc.


More feedback to come, so stay tuned!
