1.56.x - September 22nd, 2025

Introduction

Version 1.56.x delivers several highly anticipated improvements across key areas:

• Unified coordinate system setup for all project types
• Geofencing support for manipulations, storages, and comparisons
• DXF file import support in SDX-CAD

Unified Coordinate System Handling

• System Projects and Data Projects now use the same configuration options for coordinate systems
• You can now import Trimble DC-Files as coordinate systems
• Supported across both System and Data Projects for seamless configuration

There are now four types of coordinate systems you can create:

1. Preset

• Select from a curated library of predefined coordinate systems
• Mirrors previous Data Project workflows

2. LOK

• Import Leica LOK files to define the coordinate system
• Also supports GRD, GCG, and LCG files if needed

3. DC

• Import Trimble DC-Files as coordinate systems
• Fully supported across all project types

4. Custom

• Define coordinate system by separating horizontal and vertical components:
  • Horizontal: Choose from a list of EPSG codes
  • Vertical: Choose a height offset or select a grid file from a predefined list
• Ideal when exact geodetic accuracy is not required but a coordinate system is needed

Disclaimer about new Coordinate Systems

• Old projects will of course continue to work and there will not be any problems.
• New projects can only be used by Systems with a System version higher than 2.8.0
  • 1.6.x | 2.8.x - Sep 22nd, 2025.
  • This new version is released in parallel.
  • Please update your system by restarting them after they have been powered on for 20 minutes to get the latest version.

Disclaimer on LOK and DC File Support

• Both file types are reverse-engineered — no official documentation was used
• Extensive testing was done, but not all variations may be supported yet
• If a file fails to import:
  • You’ll receive a notification
  • Contact your Sodex support representative
  • Submit the file along with a support case
• Sodex aims to integrate new variations within 24 hours, barring complications
• Once supported, the file format remains supported permanently
• With each integration, compatibility improves

We appreciate your patience and your help in expanding support.

Geofence-Based Processing

• Users can now apply geofences for manipulations, storages, and comparisons
• Geofences can be imported from DXF files
• Use geofences to:
  • Limit cut/fill volume calculations to specific areas
  • Isolate storage regions
• Enables precise alignment with CAD-defined zones and plans

SDX-CAD: DXF Import

This new feature enables full DXF integration into SDX-CAD:

• Supports lines, points, and polygons
• Import into an existing layer or create a new one

How it works:

• In layer view, a new Import DXF button is available
• If no layer is selected, a new global layer is created at the root level
• During import:
  • DXF layers are preserved
  • Original structure and colors are retained

After import:

• Measurements are tagged as DXF imports
• Marked with a lock symbol to indicate they are read-only

Editing DXF content:

• To edit a locked element:
  • Duplicate the measurement
  • The duplicated version becomes editable

⚠️ Tip: Avoid duplicating very large lines (100+ points) unless necessary — this can impact InfoMap performance.
