What's new

v5.6 [Jul 24, 2018]
- Fixed an Internal Error renaming a view in the View Manager to an empty or duplicate name.
- Fixed an Internal Error renaming something (logs, drawn objects, etc.) in the Object Manager to an empty or duplicate name.
- Fixed an issue using NTV2 datum to reproject NAD27 to NAD83.
- Fixed an issue where using Free Rotate to rotate an enhanced metafile (which is not broken apart) results in a size change.
- TIF Import: Fixed an issue importing TIF files with 32-bits per pixel JPEG encoding.
- PDF Import: Fixed an issue where PDFs import as empty at certain resolutions.
- DXF Export: Added transparency support to the PNG attachment.
- Added a new coordinate system: EPSG 2169 (Luxmebourg).
- Added lock selector and license type to offline activation file.
- Make offline upgrades / license renewals easier (Single-user licensing).
- Improve license logging when performing an offline activation and license update.

v4.8 [May 28, 2016]
Fixed a crash creating a cross section
Fixed a crash trying to delete a cross section from a large project
Fixed a crash loading very large JP2 file
Fixed a crash when importing EMF file with “Break apart metafile” enabled
Fixed a crash pressing Enter when highlighting a subsection title in the Property Manager
Fixed a crash/ "Unhandled Microsoft Standard Library Exception: invalid vector subscript" error upon using Update Borehole Data command to update old SDG file with new well data
Fixed an Internal Error opening XLSX file that doesn’t have a spreadsheet style
Fixed an Internal Error exporting to multi-sheet XLSX file with empty sheet name
Fixed an Internal Error importing MIF that contains ‘arc’ objects with degenerate parameters
Fixed an Internal Error deleting columns and individual cells in a table
DXF Import: Fixed a “contains no known objects” error upon import of DXF file
GSI Export: Fixed an issue where font bolding not saved
JP2 Import: Fixed an issue where a file using alternate false easting/northing parameters imported with incorrect false easting/northing
LAS Import: Fixed an error upon import of LAS 3 file: “LAS file is missing the CURVE definition. Unable to import the file.”
TIF Import: Fixed an issue where GeoTIF with different image warp tag imported with pixel coordinates instead of UTM coordinates
WMF Import: Fixed an “Premature end of file reading meta-record” error on import of WMF file with header that indicates file is longer than it actually is
Multi-Sheet XLSX Export: Fixed an issue where exporting a multi-sheet XLSX file could create sheet names with invalid characters
Coordinate Systems: Fixed an incorrect datum in Amersfoort / RD New coordinate system
Fixed an issue where copying a text object and Paste Special as an Enhanced Metafile with Break Apart enabled resulted in polygons/polylines rather than text
Fixed an issue where if the line-feed was the 254th character of a line, that line was combined with the next line of the file for colormap files, text files, etc.

Additional Usability Enhancements

v2.5 [Oct 2, 2011]
User Friendly
View all of a project's borehole and database tables in a single tab array at the top of the project panes.
Easily change the order of tabs with a single mouse click.
Easier method to clear all selections in a detailed borehole by simply clicking off-page to deselect all.
Instantly make all data tables visible with the show all tables command.
Easier navigation in the Property Manager: set the sections to display as an array of tabs or in the classic array of horizontal bars.
Customize your work environment: Customize buttons, commands, keyboard shortcuts, menus, options, and toolbars.
Accurately and quickly relocate work areas: Dock the Object Manager, Borehole Manager, and Property Manager easier than ever with the new docking system.
Use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out of the borehole view.
You have the option to display the splash screen when opening Strater.
The command File | New quickly opens a new project, or creates a new borehole view or data table for the current project
Borehole View Enhancements
Multiple Boreholes in a borehole view is now available. Add an unlimited number of boreholes into a single borehole view.
Quickly set opacity for fill, line, symbol or text properties.
You can now draw objects in the log pane. You can add items such as text, polylines, polygons, symbols, scale bars, and legends to the log pane.
You can import an object into any of the three borehole view panes.
All borehole views automatically open when opening a project.
You can quickly zoom the borehole view or a single object to the width of the pane.
Scale your borehole view by entering the scaling ratio (ie. 1:5000).
Set the scale of your logs when using Automatic or Collars Table for the Depth Settings.
You can copy and paste almost any object, including text or data from Microsoft Word or Excel files or logs from other Strater projects, directly into the log pane.
New Log Features
Set the properties of a line/symbol log as either discontinuous or continuous to accurately show missing data.
Add a legend in any pane.
Create a cutoff fill line for line/symbol logs and select to display the cutoff fill area to either the right or left of the cutoff value.
Add text labels directly onto a percentage log. You can now let users see the actual percentage values represented in a percentage log.
Add text labels directly onto line/symbol logs. Users can now see the actual values represented by points along a line/symbol log.
You can format numeric labels. For example, insert a comma separator for thousands (1,200 vs. 1200) in depth logs, line/symbol logs, and percentage logs.
New stock hatch and gradient fill patterns are available.
Change a keyword scheme into a lithology scheme, and vice-versa.
There is now an unlimited number of items you can use in a scheme.
You can set the label either above or below a scale bar for better usability with headers and footers.
Tick labels for depth logs straddling a page break are repeated on the bottom of the first page and the top of the next page.
Text blocks in a complex text log straddling a page break can optionally be displayed on both the bottom of the first page and the top of the next page.
Merge identical and adjacent text blocks in a complex text log.
You can rotate text in a text log.
Scale bars have a title field to add titles to the scale bar.
Data Table Enhancements
Instead of one cell at a time you can now select multiple rows of data simultaneously to copy, clear or delete.
Rename Hole IDs in a data table.
You have the option to reload all data tables automatically when opening a project.
You have the option to open or not open data tables when opening a project.
You can enter scaling information for each well in the Collars Table.
Strater offers the option to perform data transform calculations inside data tables.
Utilize the Find/Replace functionality in the data tables.
Export the data to any supported data file format.
Format cells in the data tables.
Calculate statistics on selected data within a data table.
Convert text to numeric data, and numeric data to text.
The command File | Reload All automatically reloads all the data in a currently open project.
When a data file is imported, or data added to an existing table, the edited table is automatically the active table in the borehole view.
Templates Improved
Stored templates save all data tables whether or not they're used in the borehole view.
You can now save a project as a template from the Active view.
Schemes are saved to the template.
You can save templates using the File | Save As command.
You can open templates using the File | Open command.
Printing Enhancements
When using File | Print Multiple Logs, the scale for each log will update automatically.
