The following is a list of critical bugs or important limitations that users should be aware of which affect SurveyTools for BricsCAD v24. It is not intended as an exhaustive list of all issues.
Important Note: If you ever experience a crash when using SurveyTools for BricsCAD, a .dmp file will be generated in the same location of the drawing that was open at the time. MicroSurvey and BricsCAD programmers can use these files to help investigate and fix crashing problems that occur within the program, even if it is a problem that is not easily reproducible.
Please contact technical support if you experience any problems.
Problem: Changing the Visual Style between 2DWireframe and any other style, or any other style and 2DWireframe causes the Independent Point Numbers, Independent Point Descriptions, and Independent Point Elevations to no longer display
Workaround: Save your drawing, then close and re-open it.
Status: Fixed in SurveyTools for BricsCAD v24.1
Problem: There is a bug where we lose communication with the MicroSurvey Database when creating a drawing through File + New or the Quick New (+) button.
Workaround: This can be resolved by closing, then reopening the newly created drawing either through the Project Manager or the Start Page. Always use the Project Manager to create new drawings.
Status: Will be fixed in a future update.
Problem: The display of Point Nodes and Images may appear distorted or not honouring their draw order.
Workaround: Run the REGEN command.
Status: Will be fixed in a future update of BricsCAD.
