Issue: Add single corridor link to surface definition

Need an efficient way to add a breakline to a surface that mirrors a corridor link.

Solution:

New command DOTAddCorridorEntityAsBreakline. Command prompts for the surface to edit and then the corridor subentity to add to the surface definition as a breakline. A corridor link or feature line segment may be selected. Corridor entities can only be added to the surface definition if the end points are on the surface. The selected entity is converted to a siteless feature line and the feature line is added as a breakline. The feature line is named "BreaklineFromCrdrEntity#". If the entity end points are on a surface that was pasted into the surface being edited, the feature line elevations are set relative to that surface. Otherwise, the feature line elevations are static.

Issue: Purge unused references tool

Drawings can become bloated with many references that are not needed or used. Need a quick way to identify and remove unused references.

Solution:

New command DOTPurgeUnusedReferences presents the user with a list of XReferences, and a list of unused Data References in a TreeView. The user chooses references to purge. The tool also identifies any surface profile data references in the drawing as a reminder that the best practice is to avoid data referencing surface profiles to avoid circular references.

Issue: Command to import multileader style and create multileaders

WisDOT palettes for Multileaders have the style definitions baked into the palette .atc files. This can result in the palattes getting out of sync with the Multileader source files.

Solution:

Create custom commands to create MultiLeaders. The command prompts for the style name and then starts the mleader command. If the style does not exist in the drawing, it checks the WisDOT style source dwg files and imports them.

Issue: SurfaceStatistics property set updates

The SurfaceStatistics property set in “ref-property-sets.dwt is referencing the incorrect version of AutoCAD. Users need guidance on how to use this property set.

Solution:

Change the ‘ACADver’ property to a formula property so it can be updated at the property set level when the AutoCAD version changes. It is currently a text property, so it must be updated at the object level.

Include a Civil 3D ‘Note’ label (Surf_3DArea) example in the “ref-property-set.dwt” to demonstrate how to use the SurfaceStatistics property set in labels.

Issue: Supplemental tools for AutoCAD drafting

Several gaps exist with out of the box AutoCAD draw tools.

Fillet: When creating a fillet between two arc or circle entities, the fillet direction cannot be chosen.
Draw Line tangent to Arc/Circle: This works with out of the box tools, but only to the extent of the arc. Need to draw a line tangent to the full circular projection of the arc.
Draw floating arc: Need to dynamically draw an arc tangent to lines, arcs, and circles while seeing it’s proposed position as the cursor moves.

Solution:

Create four new commands and add them as buttons to a new “Draw” panel on the WisDOT Design ribbon.

Ribbon buttons on the new Draw Panel:

WisDOT Design > Draw > Lines > Floating Line
WisDOT Design > Draw > Lines > Free Line
WisDOT Design > Draw > Curves > Floating Curve
WisDOT Design > Draw > Curves > Free Curve

Commands:

DOTDrawFloatingLine: Command prompts for an arc or circle entity. A preview of the line is drawn dynamically based on the cursor position. User selects the end point of the line to add the entity to the drawing.
DOTDrawFreeLine: Command prompts for two arc/circle entities. User is presented will all possible tangents between the entities. User selects the desire tangent to add to the drawing.
DOTDrawFloatingCurve: Command prompts for a line, arc, or circle entity and a radius for the proposed arc. A preview of the arc is draw dynamically based on the cursor position. The radius can be change while the command is active. User selects the end point of the arc to add the entity to the drawing.
DOTDrawFreeCurve: Command prompts for two arc/circle/line entities and a radius. User is presented with all possible curve options and can choose one to add to the drawing. The radius can be changed while the command is active.

Issue: Create Verification Surface

The process of creating a verification surface for the breakline extraction workflow is time consuming.

Solution:

New tool "Create Verification Surface". The tool is run from the breakline raw data file. It copies the pertinent breakline and boundary data into a new file and creates a new surface from that data. The design surface is data referenced into the drawing and a verification surface is created (volume surface) to compare the design surface and breakline surface. Command is DOTCREATEVERIFICATIONSURFACE. It can be accessed from the WisDOT Design tab - Output panel - Contractor Data menu

WisDOT custom coordinate systems have been retired

All coordinate systems formerly found in the "WisDOT" category have been moved to the "Obsolete Coordinate Systems" category. These coordinate systems are no longer needed. Users should refer to the coordinate systems found in the "USA, Wisconsin" category moving forward. Issues identified with the "USA, Wisconsin" coordinate systems in previous versions have been resolved. Users do not need to reassign coordinate systems if they used "WisDOT" coordinate systems for existing drawings.
Object right click command menu shortcut added for the following commands:
- Move Pipe End
- Pipe Separation at Structures
- Label Assemblies
- Profile View Elevation Range
