Plex.Earth Tools 2.0 now supports AutoCAD 64-bit

May 27, 2010 02:43 by Admin

Today is an important day for us; a milestone in the lifetime of our software.

Now you can enjoy Plex.Earth Tools 2.0 in your 64-bit AutoCAD 2010 & 2011.

We have to admit it was quite tough to make it communicate with Google Earth in 64-bit systems.

The reason was that Google Earth installer doesn't implement properly the necessary registry entries in 64-bit Windows (Vista & 7). In order to surpass the problem, we created a patch to correct the appropriated registry entries.

You will have the option to apply the patch during installation since it's a prerequisite to be able to enjoy Plex.Earth Tools 2.0 functionality in your favorite environment. You can always examine the patch: simply deny it during installation and then, when you will be prompted at run-time, open it with Notepad or another text editor.

We invite you to download and participate in beta through the following link:

New beta release is uploaded

We take our software seriously and we're happy to have so many friends around the world who help us in our mission.

So, today there's available a new release of Plex.Earth Tools 2.0 Beta (2.0.517):

http://www.plexscape.com/services/plexearth/betav2.aspx

 

This release is here to fix two issues, tracked during the first week of the public beta phase:

  • In text parsing feature in surface creation, wrong coordinates could be assigned in the point due to the "Text Alignment" property of the text objects.
  • When undoing vertices in Polyline digitization from Google Earth, in specific conditions (the mouse pointer was over the last vertex), it could raise an error.


Thank you all for your feedback and especially to B. Simpson (United States) and W. Flores (Mexico), for tracking the above issues.
