QP 7.03.06 Update - IKE Import and other improvements
Posted: Tue Jul 30, 2024 7:45 am
In this update a couple of significant features have been introduced.
First, in support of one-person field detailing teams, Quick Pole supports the collection of Clearance Points (example - shoulder of roads/driveways) using just one person taking a "Height" type measurement at that location. The distance from the last pole will be determined from the coordinates of the shot, and the ground elevation from the altitude measures; both included in a standard "Height" type measurement.
The traditional two-person team of taking these measurements, first with a "Vector" type measurement to determine the distance from the last pole, is still supported. Without the "Vector" measurement, the single-person process above will be used.
So the first new feature enables one-person field data collection teams and could also make two-person teams more efficient.
The second feature in this update is the ability to select multiple spans in the Plan View and edit their "Clearance Type" in one operation. This is the default Clearance Type for a Span and does not change any Clearance Type defined at specific points along a span. This was suggested by customers as a way to improve the efficiency of Designers. This was done in conjunction with a rework of all span menu functions in the Plan View to also work from the Explorer Tree beside it. This feature can be used with the "Select all spans" right-click choice in the Explorer View on a Street/Lead node or even the top node representing the entire Design. Once selected, right-click on any span in the Plan View or the Explorer Tree to change all Clearance Types at once.
