DigiCad 3D Changelog

What's new in DigiCad 3D 10.0.5

Feb 23, 2021
  • Measures and distances on polygons and lines.. Selecting a polygon or a line displays a series of information: distances for each side of the polygon and on the line, perimeter, area and length for the polygons:
  • Measurements are displayed simultaneously on elements in the origin window and in the destination window.
  • The destination window displays any measures that have been transformed according to the set attachment points.
  • Tool Tips. Many Tool Tips have been included to help both the interface elements and the drawings. The Tool Tip appears by remaining stationary for a few seconds above the relevant element. In the case of graphic elements, the Tool Tip identifies the element in the foreground. For example, if I have an image with a polygon on it, the Tool Tip will display “Polygon”.
  • When opening a file, the preview of DigiCad 3D documents and images has been changed with a better view of the details of the documents and the insertion of quick folders on the left.
  • Fixed bugs:
  • No longer tries to transform a selected element in the target window.
  • Error message if there are no items selected in the source window to be transformed into destination

New in DigiCad 3D 10.0.4 (Oct 6, 2020)

  • Added the Transparent white command from the Transform->Images menu. The command applies to a selected image and creates a new image with white color parts made completely transparent. The new image is placed exactly above the original image and must be moved to see the result. This command is very useful to make transparent and stackable images of drawings and maps.
  • Import DWG-DXF of the z coordinate of the extremes of the lines. The imported lines can be modified moving the extremes as the lines drawn manually with the mouse.
  • Import DWG-DXF of tridimensional poly-lines with the z coordinate of the vertices
  • Export DWG-DXF of open polygons. In the previous version the polygons were exported always closed.
  • Export image export the comtent of the current page instead of the current scene. The elements of the scene outside the page frame are excluded.

New in DigiCad 3D 9.0 (May 4, 2015)

  • DWG - DXF: Importing and exporting DWG-DXF files are supported, from versions 12 to 2012
  • New algorithms: Better results outside the attach-point quadrilateral. This means being able to work on a larger area of the photo without losing precision. Faster image rectification - in some cases up to 10 times
  • New Graphic Interface: The graphic interface has been substantially modified with a new top bar and functions
  • MacOs and Windows: support of the newest Mac Os X and Windows operating system

New in DigiCad 3D 8.5 (May 4, 2007)

  • DigiCad 3D is already well-known as a state-of-the-art program for the photogrammetry and cartography sectors. Now it is offers some brilliant new functions for working with photographic images.
  • Digital cameras are now widely used in architectural photogrammetry. Unfortunately their big advantages (speed and ease of use) are often outweighed by the disadvantage of their not-very-wide-angle and their zoom's optical distortion when in wide-angle mode.
  • Previous versions of DigiCad 3D contained a unique function for eliminating optical distortion - using a procedure, however, which was rather slow and unwieldy.
  • Version 8.5 contains new simplified procedures which allow you to correct and calibrate various types of lens, while registering their parameters in an internal database, for rapid retrieval.
  • Other new functions concern:
  • Grouping raster and vectorial images in one single complex image
  • Deformation
  • Rotation
  • Changing transparency, number of colors, resolution
