Largely bug fixes from the many changes made for Version 1.6.3.0, but a few useful additions were made as well. The expiry cycle for GEM4D is now 6 months as the software is getting mature.
New functionality
A 64-bit version of GEM4D is now available in addition to the normal 32-bit version. Please note that 64-bit software opens substantially slower than their equivalent 32-bit versions. The 32-bit version is thus best for normal use, and the 64-bit version to open very large files (obviously only possible on a 64-bit computer with a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows installed).
Quick toolbars were added for the "Measure" and "Map disc" options - see the image below. These quick toolbars work slightly differently from the normal button presses, as they do not activate the pop-up selection forms, but use the previously selected values.
Large parts of the code were refactored into separate libraries, mainly to use in other software packages that are planned.
Changes
The way DXF files are written was changed, and the saved DXF-files should now open in all mine design and modelling packages. Let me know if you experienced any issues with reading DXF-files from GEM4D into other CAD-packages.
Bug fixes
Some options were inactive when they should have been active - fixed.
When creating mapping discs manually, the trace lengths changed spontaneously -fixed.
A Shepard Method error occurred with come selection combinations - fixed.
"Marker" and "Map disc" text files duplicated column caption numbers - fixed.
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.
