Sincpac C3D Change Log
Here is a synopsis of changes to the Sincpac C3D. As a customer, you will
have access to new features as they are added. No need to wait an entire year
to get new features! And should you discover a bug or problem in the Sincpac
C3D, we can often have a fix for you within one day of your report.
New commands are being added on a regular basis. And if you have something
that you need, be sure to let us know. Currently, almost all functionality
is supported in all versions of the Sincpac C3D, although some commands have fewer
features or reduced functionality in the 2008 and 2009 versions. Most of the
new functionality we plan to release in the immediate future will also work in Civil
3D 2008, 2009, and 2010. At some point, new development will stop on the
2008 version, but we currently plan on continuing to actively add new features to
the 2008 version until at least May of 2010.
Below is a summary of the release history of the Sincpac C3D:
- SP2008, SP2009, SP2010 v2.11.3716, March 5, 2010
- Fix issue that could cause an exception to be thrown by LotCorners dialog box.

Point Groups in the drawing.

- Fix incorrect message in Extract2d command, displayed when switching Modes.
- Combine Civil and Civil 3D installers into a single installer package that works for both products.

be force-loaded when the Sincpac-C3D was installed (using the automatic
installer) and Civil 3D was started "As Autocad". The loading of the
Sincpac-C3D is now completely supressed when using "Civil 3D as Autocad".

DisplayPoints command.
- Modify DisplayPoints command
so that it remembers selected points between invocations.

point numbers while running this command.

is created, it is automatically selected in the list.

- Enhance STRETCHPROF and MOVEPROF commands with additional
features, and workaround issue that prevented PVIs from being moved beyond the ends
of the Alignment.
- Fix issue where Dynamic Links could be "forgotten" when drawings were closed. This

- Add SPLAYMCH (Layer Match) command.
- Add ability to isolate Alignments and Surfaces to the
SPLAYISO command. When isolating an alignment or surface with this command,
the layers containing the alignment and surface labels also remain on, in addition
to all layers required to display the surface or alignment itself (although this

- Fix issue where PT3D command would terminate
suddenly while creating points off of the surface, when set to take elevations from
surface (affected 2008 version only).

DLPROFILES command.
- Enhance DisplayPoints command,
adding control for the offset display format, as well as ability to display Grid
Northing/Grid Easting/Latitude/Longitude. Also, fix row selection issue, so
that rows may now be selected by selecting partial rows or single cells, instead
of the entire row.
- SP2008 & SP2009 v2.2.3208, October 13, 2008
