• Markers are now vector point shapes, letting them be transformed, searched, selected, etc. with vector tools.
  • Vector imports can have text data mapped to shape names, notes, marker IDs and to marker labels.
  • Vector exports include marker IDs and labels.
 

  • Vector shapes can be filled and stroked with color.
  • Vector shape importing via GDAL; more shapefile formats supported.
  • Vector shapes can be rasterized to georeferenced bitmap image files.
  • Create plateaued heightfield formations from elevated vector shapes.

  • Tesselate curved vector shapes into polygons/polylines.
  • Simplify (reduce points in) polyline shapes.
  • Add any number of even distributed anchor points to shapes.
  • Tool added to quickly raytrace selected areas of display.
  • GDAL library updated to 1.6.2 (more stable, some new drivers).
  • Preferences and other user data stored in My Documents folder (more Vista compatible).
  • Colormap, texture, and reference shapes are now document entities,
    along with normal scene and map appearances,
    greatly reducing the need to save and load view files.

  • Navigation tools function much more intuitively on scene pane.
  • Select vector shapes by searching on their attributes, or by matching shapes similar to those already selected.
  • Synchronizing scene and map panes can be done easily.
  • Animation flightpaths can be defined smoothly from vector shapes
    (Windows AVI example: 40 MB, Indeo codec 9 MB, DivX codec 2 MB).
  • Raytracer renders water texture and billboard reference shapes.
  • POV-Ray export (stills and animations) includes camera-facing textured billboards.
  • Map Navigator shows vector shapes.
  • Autosave added: automatically saves current document after a specified number of edits.
  • Different users of the same PC supported.
  • Several bug fixes (Pen tool, 8-bit alpha PNG textures, broken texture link handling, etc.).
 

  • Vector shapes layer added.

    • Create rectangle, oval, and arbitrary open or closed Bezier spline paths.
    • Selection masks can be made from selected vector shapes.
    • Shapes can lie on the heightfield and/or float at a given elevation.
    • Shapes appear using thin black outlines in a secondary drape texture that overlays the main drape texture.
    • Shapes can be imported from DXF/ESRI/AI and output to DXF/AI/SVG.
    • Heightfield convex hull formations can be generated from elevated shapes.

  • Multithreaded raytracer added, which can visualize lain vector shapes at high detail
    efficiently regardless of camera closeness using a megatexture system.

  • Map pane's auto-panning behavior can be customized.

  • Unused measurement units can be ommitted from unit choice fields.

  • TER 8 document format (not openable by 2.6 or older).
