The setting persists until changed again. Turn off   Selection Previewif you are not using it – it may slow down the cursor with large polyfaces. 6 Deswik.Suite 2016.1 Release Notes 7 Deswik.Suite Graphics Changes OVERLAYTYPE l l l The OverlayType property allows entities (primarily text, polylines, and 2D shapes) to always appear in the foreground or background regardless of their actual depth. The property may be set to NONE (default, and existing depth-sorted behavior), FOREGROUND, or BACKGROUND.   OverlayType should be used with caution: o o 8 Values other than NONE impact performance, and also may have strange effects in the case of geometry with significant depth (for example, polyfaces), as depth-order is by-passed. Snapping also does not take into account an object’s FOREGROUND or BACKGROUND setting. Deswik.Suite 2016.1 Release Notes POINT COLLECTIONS IconFileName The POINTS entity now supports user-defined icon styles. This has the added advantage of being much faster for large point collections. PointStyle and SizeType POINTS entity is now consistent with POINT by enabling PointStyle and SizeType properties, rather than just using the document settings. For ABSOLUTE SizeType, size is measured in Drawing Units (v5.1 was using something else). 9 Deswik.Suite Graphics Changes ELEVATION COLORING l l l 10 TheSmooth coloring option enables or disables smoothing of elevation colors applied to polyfaces. The smoothing behavior is also different (more accurate), as the colors are interpolated at pixel-level, not vertex-level. Also, unlike v5.0 or v5.1, elevation coloring does not slow down the display. Deswik.Suite 2016.1 Release Notes SLICE SELECTION Select View | Visual Styles | 3D Slicing or click to enable 3D Solid Slicing mode. l l l A polyface slice may now be selected either by clicking on their boundary (existing behavior), or anywhere inside the slice. Selected slices are highlighted with dashed style. Toggle this behavior ON or OFF by selectingEdit | Pick Inside Slice. Selection by clicking in overlap areas is undefined. You will need to click on the outline of the target polygon (as before) in such areas. 11 Deswik.Suite Graphics Changes PRECISION Various precision-related issues have been fixed in 2016.1: l   CAD-14692: Graphics regen issue (large model extents). l CAD-11359: Apparent bugs with working plane and plane definitions (narrow clip section precision). l CAD-12146: Cannot snap to point at bottom view (snapping precision). l CAD-12392: Snapping is not working at the correct position (snapping precision). l CAD-14006: General quality of string work in Deswik.Suite (snapping precision). l T20150114.0001: Polyface selection bug with MineCAD® data (Selection issue for objects with 64-bit handles). PRINTING Some issues with layouts should now be fixed or improved: 12 l Printing in 3D modes (allowing clipping) improved, PDF sizes at higher DPI now relatively smaller. l Points disappearing in printouts or inconsistent sizing – fixed. l CAD-6219: Hatching Issues (transparent polyhatches appearing darker on printing). Deswik.Suite 2016.1 Release Notes l l   CAD-11837: Dynamic block model slices too dark when plotted. The built-in PDF printer is now available in Print Preview. In some cases this may be preferable to the installed PDF printer such as Adobe, CutePDF, FoxIt, and so on. 13 Deswik.Suite Graphics Changes VISUALIZER / ANIMATION MODE l l 14 POLYLINE, POINT, POINTS, BOREHOLE, UGDRILLHOLE, BLASTHOLE, SURVEYSTATION entities are now drawn identically or more consistently in Animation mode as well. Zooming behavior is more consistent with Model view. Deswik.Suite 2016.1 Release Notes HOW OLD ARE MY GRAPHICS DRIVERS? Deswik.CAD performs checks to determine if your current graphics drivers may be outdated, or may not support certain graphics features. You are prompted if an issue is found. In this case, you should upgrade your graphics drivers for improved performance with Deswik.CAD. Use these instructions to determine which graphics cards are installed, and what drivers they are using.   After you have determined which graphics cards are installed, you can then get updated drivers from the company that made the graphics card, or contact your corporate IT department to do it for you. Instructions:  You must be an administrator. 1. Open Windows Explorer. 2. Right-click My Computer or This PC (depending on your Windows® version), and then click Manage. 3. Select Device Manager from the panel to the left, and then expand Display adapters in the middle panel to see the graphics cards for the machine. 15 How Old Are My Graphics Drivers? 4. Right-click a graphics card, and then click Properties. 5. Click the Driver tab. The date and version are displayed. 16 Deswik.Suite 2016.1 Release Notes  If required, get updated drivers from the company that made the graphics card, or contact your corporate IT  department todo it for you. 17 Deswik.Blend DESWIK.BLEND  If you have previously installed a beta version of 2016.1, please uninstall it before installing the released version. If you have side-by-side installs of different versions, you will need to upgrade each version to the latest patch. New Commands and Features l Blend | Enable Verbose Logging Mode: We have significantly improved the speed of a blending run, particularly for smaller schedules, by restricting the screen updates to once for each blending period. You can use this feature to return to the previous, and more time-consuming, method of continually updating the screen throughout the blending run.  Deswik.Blend will also no longer automatically navigate to the CPLEX Log tab when a blending run is complete. Enhancements and Modifications l l   Blend: When you process a scenario, Deswik.Blend produces a number of intermediate files to show the decisions the solver engine (CPLEX) has made. Previously, these files were overwritten with new values at the end of each period. Now, these files are preserved for each period to help you debug your blending results.   Global Settings: A new tab, named Cut off grades, has been added to the GLOBAL SETTINGS dialog box that you can use to incorporate cut off grade information for each of the blending materials. 18 Deswik.Suite 2016.1 Release Notes DESWIK.CAD  If you have previously installed a beta version of 2016.1, please uninstall it before installing the released version. If you have side-by-side installs of different versions, you will need to upgrade each version to the latest patch. New Commands and Features l   Draw menu: o o o l Draw | Annotation | Coordinate Table: Create a table of coordinates. Draw | Polyhatches Automatically: Create polyhatch entities from multiple polygons automatically. Fill output polyhatches with a selected hatch pattern. Draw | Ramp Tools | Automatic Decline: Draw a 3D decline between two points. Add multiple curves to the output ramp polyline.   Edit menu: o Edit | Cancel Command: Cancel the current command.  The purpose behind this new command is to allow you to create a shortcut using the Tools | Shortcuts command to assign a button or keystroke combination other than Esc to perform the same action. o o l Edit | Selection Preview: Show or hide highlighting on entities as your mouse moves over them in the Model Space.   File menu: o l Edit | Pick Inside Slice: Previously, when in 3D slicing mode, you could only select a polyface slice by clicking on its boundary. Now you can click anywhere inside the slice to select the polyface. In addition, selected slices are now shown using dotted-lines with increased line thickness to indicate selection. File | Print Batch: Print layouts from multiple Deswik.CAD documents simultaneously.   Format menu: o o o o Format | Color Palette: Create a customized color palette (starting from the DeswikStandard palette) by changing the color associated with a color index. Optional; export the palette for use as the default palette in Deswik.CAD. Format| Display Styles | Apply: Permanently change the properties and figure types of selected entities by applying a display styles file. Format | Draw Styles In Document: Insert an annotated preview of blocks, hatch patterns, colors, line type or text styles that have been created or loaded to the active document. Format | Snap Mode | Force Snapping: Enforce snapping to entities. 19 Deswik.CAD  Use this new toggle button when doing design work that requires you to snap to points on existing  entities. For example, there is a chance in these instances that you may click in the Model Space near a  point which appea rs close, but in reality is not. If Force Snapping is turned off, you would snap to the working plane. If Force Snapping is turned on, a point will not be generated unless you actually snap to an entity. l   Help menu: o l   Insert menu: o l Help | System Information: Use this new command to easily share your computer configuration with the Deswik Software team (if requested) in order to troubleshoot issues with printing and graphics performance. Insert| Block From Manager: Use the BLOCK  MANAGER to create block sets with customized 'block' buttons. Click these buttons to insert blocks with predefined properties into your document.   Layer menu: o o Layer | Polyline Vertex Attributes: Previously, for each attribute assigned to an entity, you could assign a single value. Now, you can add polyline vertex attributes to polylines, which give you the ability to assign different values to each vertex on the polyline. Layer | Refresh All Layer Objects: Refresh all layer objects (including annotation, unfolded sections, tunnels, solid slices, and so on) in the active document.  Layer objects are the layers that are generated as part of a process, where the outputs of that process are saved to a layer, for example, annotation. These layers can also be refreshed using the new individual  commands found in the shortcut menu that appears when you right-click the layer object. However, this new command provides a quick and easy way to update all of them simultaneously. l   Modify menu: o o Modify | Attributes | Polyline Vertex Attributes | Set Incremental: Add incremental numeric or text values as a polyline vertex attribute to selected entities. o Modify | Move | Move To Layers: Use filter-based rules to move entities to different layers. o Modify | Multiline Text In Editor: Modify existing multiline text using an editor. o o o 20 Modify | Annotation | Coordinate Table: Modify an existing set of coordinates. Modify | Order | Remove Overlay From Surfaces: Remove the temporary background overlay property from visible surfaces. Modify | Order | Surfaces To Background Overlay: Set the new OverlayType property of visible surfaces to 'background'. Modify | Points | Remove Icon: Remove icon point styles (previously added using the new IconFileName property) from selected POINTS entities. o Modify | Polygons | Remove Overlaps: Remove overlaps between polygons. o Modify | Polylines | Segments | Delete: Delete segments from one or more polylines using a Deswik.Suite 2016.1 Release Notes 'selection fence'. Any segments which fall inside or are crossed by the fence are deleted. o Modify | Polylines | To Polygon | Selection: Create a single, closed polygon where input polylines or polygons overlap to create a visible boundary.  This command differs from the existing  Modify | Polylines | To Polygons | Selection command, which creates multiple polygons wherever input polylines or polygons overlap to create a visible boundary. This command outputs a single polygon using a similar algorithm. o o o l Modify | Polylines | Trim | To Polygons: Trim polylines by selected polygons. Polylines are automatically trimmed and kept inside the polygons. In addition, this command can detect if a polygon is inside another polygon. If a polygon sits inside another polygon, that polygon is assumed to be a hole. This command also recognizes polygons which are inside a polygon which, in turn, is insideanother  polygon. Modify | Polylines | Trim | To Polylines: Trim polylines (selected with a 'selection fence') using polylines to govern the trimming. Any segments which fall inside or are crossed by the fence are trimmed by the governing polylines. Modify | Surfaces | Dynamic Editing: Dynamically modify the vertices and triangles on a selected surface.   Tools menu: o Tools | Geological Models | Datamine | Commands: Multiple new commands. n n Block Model Coalesce: Reduce the number of parent cells or subcells (or both) in a block model by combining them together. Block Model Polygon Generation: Generate polygons from a block model. n   Join: Join two Datamine tables together. n   Delete Files: Delete specified files.  This new command is not limited to Datamine commands. It works with any file extension. o o Tools | Geological Models | Vulcan | Grid Manipulation | Dip and Thickness Grids: Generate dip and thickness grids from an existing surface stacking rule. Tools | Pit | Signal Towers: Place signal towers on a surface. Apply coloring to the surface to indicate 21 Deswik.CAD the signal's reach and strength. o Tools | Pit | Short Term Scheduling: Create blocks interactively, and then immediately see the results from processes such as interrogation.  This command is under active development. The user interface may change. o Tools | Query | Solid Bar Builder: Generate 3D bar solids based on a formula. o Tools | Survey: Multiple new survey commands. n n n n n n n n n n o   Options: Specify the settings for the various survey commands.   Import Jobs: Use the IMPORT  SURVEY JOBS wizard to import survey jobs from either the files captured directly on an instrument, or the transfer files exported from an instrument. Convert imported jobs to survey stations, polylines, or points based on the 'display styles' file used during the import. Record new survey stations in the ledger and stations database. Export To Instrument: Export graphical data that represents set-out or reference data from the active document to a survey file format, including Leica SML, Leica GSI, Surpac string or text file. Export Stations To Instrument: Export the survey stations from a survey stations database to a Leica job file. Load Survey Stations: Load survey stations from the active survey stations database to the Model Space. Search Loaded Stations: Search the survey stations currently loaded in the Model Space based on the name of the station.   Edit Ledger: View or edit the ledger values stored in the survey stations database. Edit Survey Stations: Edit the survey stations stored in the active survey stations database. Development Laser Offsets: Press a wall polyline to the elevation of the floor grade centerline to ensure the wall outline is at the same grade as the floor centerline. Press Floor Outline: Press a wall polyline to the elevation of the floor grade centerline to ensure the wall outline is at the same grade as the floor centerline. Tools | Underground | Auto Development Designer: Use the new Create Multipoint Polylines command to generate multi-point slot connections using a set of user-defined commands.  This command replicates the Auto Polyline Designer  used in Deswik.LHS, which uses a rules-based  approach to create multi-point slot connections. Use it to create slot connectors to join mining blocks to haul  roads. o l   View menu: o l 22 Tools | Underground | Deswik.UNO (Network Optimizer): Deswik.UNO (Underground Network Optimizer) is a new module available through Deswik.CAD that facilitates the layout of underground development and, optionally, an associated decline network, to minimize life of asset haulage and development costs. View | Views: Divide the Model Space in the active project into multiple viewports. LAYER  CONTROL  window shortcut menu: Multiple new commands have been added to refresh various layer objects. Deswik.Suite 2016.1 Release Notes l o Refresh Gradient Change Annotation o Refresh Point Annotation o Refresh Polyline Annotation o Refresh Blast Holes Annotation o Refresh Underground Drillholes Annotation o Refresh Polyline Plane Intersections o Refresh Solid Slices o Refresh Slice Along Polyline o Refresh Tunnels By Rule o Refresh Tunnel As-Built   Properties: o o o l l Use the new IconFileName variable property to display a graphic at each point in a POINTS entity. The new OverlayType variable property lets you display entities in the foreground or background regardless of their actual depth. Previously, if you wanted text to stand out in the Model Space, the only way to do this was to draw a polygon around the text, and then fill in the background of the polygon. With the addition of several properties, including BackgroundMask, BackgroundMaskColorand BackgroundMaskOffset, you now have the ability to turn a background on or off automatically behind interactive and multiline text entities. You can change the color of this background, as well as control how far the text extends behind a text entity. OUTPUT window/Model Space: Use the new predefined Command line input strings to digitize points at a specific coordinate location in the Model Space, or to digitize polylines of a specific length and azimuth. o @relativeY,relativeY,relativeZ: Digitize a point at a coordinate relative to the last point digitized. o #absoluteX,absoluteY,absoluteZ: Digitize a point at an absolute coordinate. o @length to use the pattern from a multi pass as the basis for the pattern. Gantt Chart | Fence Selection: When you use fence selection, by dragging your mouse across tasks to select them, you can now move all tasks by dragging any selected task. Deswik.Suite 2016.1 Release Notes DESWIK.SVIZ  If you have previously installed a beta version of 2016.1, please uninstall it before installing the released version. If you have side-by-side installs of different versions, you will need to upgrade each version to the latest patch. Enhancements and Modifications l   Animation Options: We have updated this command to give you more control over your animations. The update also lets you use different animation modes, including the ability to set a different animation mode for separate layers. 51 Deswik.UGDB DESWIK.UGDB  If you have previously installed a beta version of 2016.1, please uninstall it before installing the released version. If you have side-by-side installs of different versions, you will need to upgrade each version to the latest patch. Enhancements and Modifications l Define Ring Sections | Add Rings Manually and Edit Drillholes | Options | Ring Properties | Ring Options Tab | Modify: Previously, when placing rings manually (or modifying an existing ring), the location of the drive floor was determined as the intersection between the drive slice and the design line, if this intersection existed . If there was no intersection, then the lowest point of the drive slice was used instead. Now you can force Deswik.UGDB to use the lowest point of the drive slice, even if an intersection exists, giving you greater control.  This feature has also been added in v5.1. l Edit Drillholes | Charge Holes | Manual: Multiple changes to make the process more intuitive and give you greater control. o o o 52 Existing fields for this command have been grouped by purpose. Previously, you would specify a toe stemming distance and then toes were placed automatically after you chose a collar location. Now you can manually place both collarsand  toes while maintaining charge collar or stemming minimums. Use the new Adjustment type field to specify the method to use for placing collars and toes: Select on screen (previous method), minimum collar or stemming distance, or no adjustment at all (when Deswik.Suite 2016.1 Release Notes modifying existing charges). l Initial Setup | Primers Or Booster Rules: Now you export existing configurations to a *.prm file, and then import these configurations into other designs.  This feature has also been added in v5.1. l l Initial Setup | Rig Database: Use the new Use relative mining coordinates option to display the drill setup relative to its location in the mine. When plotting, the dump of a ring plane and dip of drillholes can be reported in tables on plots in angles relative to the direction of the design centerline, for example, -78N. Process Rings Configurations | Export IREDES: o o You can now define and include navigation holes as part of the export to the IREDES file. Use the new Atlas Copco NA option to export IREDES files to a file format that is compliant with drill rigs in North America.  This feature has also been added in v5.1. l l Process Rings Configurations | Export Survey: Generate and save navigation holes to a layer in your ring design. This options gives you the ability to visually validate the position of the navigation holes that you intend to export using the Export IREDES command. Any holes generated using this feature will not be included in drilling reports. Views | View Options: Use the new Pivot ID text height field to change the default height of the text in the pivot ID annotation. 53
