3.1.0.5521

March 23, 2016 - Release 3.1.0 Improvements The application is now compatible with AutoCAD 2017 and other Autodesk 2017 products The handling of the Coordinate System catalog has been improved when used to assign a system to a drawing, or modify one already assigned By default, only the "Projected" type Coordinate Systems are shown in the list (unless the currently selected is another type) During a working session the search filter used previously remains unchanged Now, when there are multiple search terms, they are searched for in any field (not all in the same field) The application performance has been significantly improved when only the geometries of the objects are imported (and none of their data are used to set the layers separation, labels, etc.) The option "Import Features data…" is now turned off by default The options "Elevation" and "Thickness" will now be disabled when importing 3D Polylines only The Z-coordinate is now exported in all the cases.
