KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Panorama" version 14.5.2. The new version implements the saving a set of open spatial data, including geoportals, vector maps, images, matrices, databases into pyramids of tiles in the format Mbtiles or KMZ according to the selected scale range. The format Mbtiles is a database SQLite that stores images in png, jpg, or png8 formats. Pyramids of tiles can be published via the protocol OGC WMTS by the service GIS WebService SE or displayed in the programs GIS "Operator", GIS "Panorama", in various mobile applications. The purpose to form a set of rasters (tiles) is to accelerate the display in WEB and mobile applications of spatial data containing a large number of objects or occupying large amounts of data. The pyramid Mbtiles is formed in the coordinate system EPSG:3857 with the pyramid type GoogleMapsCompatible. It is possible to create tiles using the menu File – Export to a pyramid of tiles - Pyramid of tiles Mbtiles/Pyramid of tiles KMZ.

The task "Report Designer" has been improved. It is added dynamic display of sash lines when drawing new insets. This lets to make mutual alignment of report elements already at the stage of their creation. It is added the ability to lock and unlock the design map of the project (report maps). After the report project has been created and configured, it is prepared for use. It consists in setting restrictions on the display and selection of objects contained on auxiliary maps. This reduces the number of mouse clicks when selecting objects of the background map, simplifies the solution of computational tasks and the usual editing of the information background map included in the project. Objects located on design and auxiliary maps during the work with the ready-made project, it is not included in the list of objects found at the cursor point when clicking on the map. The new mode of report designer "Lock Project", which is included in the group of modes "Project", it prohibits selection for objects contained on the report map, which includes report design elements (frames, insets, additional design elements). When deleting or adding additional maps to the report project, changing the properties of the added maps, It is necessary to save MPT-project (File - Save). The main properties of the map (Editing, Copying, Object select) are assigned in the dialog "Data List" ("Properties" button). If the background map included in the project, it is MPT-project itself, it is necessary to open this project separately, configure the visibility and access to the maps included in it, and resave the project. It is improved saving projects and reports to a packaged MPTZ project. If the display area restriction is set for the source data, then the data are recorded to the packaged project with cropping within the specified area. This lets to reduce the volume of reports or work maps by several times. When saving a report in MPTZ on the background map in the task "Report Designer", the data will be automatically clipped to the boundaries of the report. If the maps in the project contain references in semantics to other MPT projects or maps (for example, insets), then they will be automatically packed. This makes it possible to simplify the preparation of working maps for specified territories with the addition of inset sections for maps of different scale, images, legend of conventional symbols, tables and documents, recording all information in one compressed file. The packaged MPTZ project is supported in software products of KB "Panorama" on all platforms, including mobile devices.

The task "Raster editor" has been improved. The new mode "Restore" has been added to the raster editor panel, and the mode "Step back" has been improved. The specified modes provide step-by-step restoration of the rasters edited in the task, both backward ("Step back") and forward ("Restore"). While drawing on a raster, auxiliary files are created with the original and edited blocks of the edited raster. Auxiliary files are generated in the temporary files folder. The modes "Step Back" and "Restore" are functioning in one session of the raster editor. After the "Raster Editor" panel is closed, the auxiliary files are deleted and restoration of the raster imagebecomes unavailable. The mode "Building the graph network" has been improved. There are recorded all the selected characteristics of the objects in the objects of the new graph (arcs), on which the graph was built. If there is no characteristic in the graph classifier, the characteristic is recorded into arcs in special semantics with a service code starting from 660001. This method lets to save not only the value, but also the name of the source map classifier semantics.

There are improved topographic fonts designed to prepare for the publication of topographic maps of various scales. The changes have been made to the fonts P151, T132. Fixed display errors of characters, changed their width and distance between them. It is added support for the Cyrillic character set to the font D432.

The construction of the marginal design of topographic maps has been improved. It is fixed the placement of kilometer grid captions, adjacent zone kilometer grid strokes, geodetic grid, terrain conditions, and factory code. It has been refined the metric of dashes for the kilometer grid of the adjacent zone for maps of scales from 1 : 10,000 to 1 : 200,000. It has been ensured the deletion of kilometer grid labels that intersect with the geodetic grid coordinates and with indices of the angular zones for maps of scales 1 : 500,000 and 1 : 1,000,000. When constructing a linear scale, objects with graphic design are replaced by standard objects, the appearance of which is described in the classifier. The construction parameters (FRM files) have been updated and the classifiers used to build the marginal design of topographic maps at scales from 1 : 10,000 to 1: 1,000,000. The type of fonts used for the captions of the margin design has been clarified in the classifiers, the square second points of the geodesic frame have been replaced with round ones. To build a marginal design, it is necessary to select in the main menu: Tasks - Preparation for publication - Marginal design.

The module "Geodesic editor" has been improved. It has been added a step for changing the initial number in the dialog "Automatic completion of the semantics for selected objects". The boundary lines of each plot are formed in accordance with its points in the dialog "Designing a plot with boundary lines".

The module "Complex of cadastral tasks" has been improved. When forming a boundary plan, there were implemented algorithms for analyzing the semantics of characteristic points: "Cadastral number" paired with "Object part number" and "Registration number in the register".

Unloading into the boundary plan in the section "Information on the performed measurements and calculations" the information about the methods of determining coordinates (METHOD) and formulas for determining the points SCP (FORMULA) are performed in accordance with the semantics of boundary points. For generation a boundary plan in the file XML in the section "Information on changed land plots and their parts" (ChangeParcel) of the element "Contours of the multi-contour land plot, the transformation of which is carried out" (TransformationContours), it is added reading information about registered numbers (PART_NUMB) of the external contours MKU for the option cadastral work "Section ...". The composition of MCU does not need to include removed contours, only those are changing (transforming) are needed. When recording the error formula for determining the area to the report, there has been added the ability to insert a formula from the program settings with substituted values. If there is semantic value FORMALA_S, then it is inserted. If there is no semantics, a formula is inserted with values with the selection option: "formula", "formula and initial data", "formula, initial data and error value".

The new version of the program is available for download on the page Download.

KB "Panorama" has developed the Converter of large-scale plans to format DXF version 8.6.0. The program lets to generate a large-scale topographic map or plan in format DXF in standard symbols adopted for cartographic work in the Russian Federation. In the new version of the program, the functionality has been expanded in terms of obtaining a drawing in the required units of measurement. When converting data, the coordinates of the source map objects are automatically converted to the established units of measurement. This lets to set up symbol templates for conversion in various programs that work in different coordinate systems. The program supports coordinate systems with the following units: inches, feet, miles, millimeters, centimeters, meters, kilometers, micro-inches, and so on up to light years and parsecs.

As part of import substitution, most domestic companies - manufacturers of cartographic data that previously used AutoDesk products (for example, AutoCAD) in their work, are forced to switch to alternative software that supports the format DXF. To ensure a more accurate transfer of the color palette for objects in the output map (DXF drawing), the functionality of setting the color code by index and RGB code has been corrected in the new version of the converter. This will display map data in the specified color palette when opened with alternative software.The new version of the converter now displays more detailed information about the license. In addition to the license key number, the user has access to information about the license validity period and the end date of the program technical support. The package includes classifiers and libraries of symbols in format DXF for large-scale maps and plans of scales 1: 500, 1: 1,000, 1: 2,000, 1: 5,000.

The new version of the program is available for download on the page Download.

Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared the video tutorial on the operation of the mode "Adding semantics". Users of "Workstation of cadastral engineer", GIS "Panorama" or "Panorama-editor" can add semantics to objects using the tasks of the complex "Geodetic editor".

The mode "Adding semantics" is located on the subpanel "Processing the object attributes" of the geodetic editor. The task is intended to add the value of semantic characteristic to the selected objects. It is necessary to select objects on the map, activate the mode "Adding semantics", specify the name and value of the added characteristic, and click "Execute".

The result of the mode operation is the filled in specified semantic characteristics. It is possible to be sure that the necessary semantic characteristics of the object are filled in using the mode "Request of object description" (Object selection) or the mode "Editing attributes for the object of the cadastral works" of the panel "Cadastral documents" of the complex "Geodetic editor".

It is possible to be acquainted with the training materials in the section "Video Tutorials".

The geoportal "Bank of spatial data" is supplemented with a map of the Argentine Republic, formed according to data OpenStreetMap. To work with the map, it is possible to use the program GIS Panorama Mini or other software products of KB "Panorama".

The map is brought to the modernized classifier of large-scale plans on a scale of 1: 5,000 (map5000m). Updates were placed in the spatial data bank using the program Data Bank of digital maps and remote sensing. The contents publication of the spatial data bank on the geoportal and access to data for downloading are implemented by means of GIS WebServer SE.

Free maps based on data OpenStreetMap are available for download on the page "Digital maps".

KB "Panorama" developed "Workstation of cadastral engineer" version 14.5.1. In the new version during creation a cadastral map using the mode "Creating objects from XML file of the real estate cadastre" the procedure for filling in identification semantics for isolated plots as part of a single land use has been updated for their use in the dialog "Semantics of the object for cadastral works". There are added reading and writing attributes to the semantics of real estate objects: "Status of a record about the real estate object", "Copyright holder(s)", "Type, number and date of state registration of rights".

In the mode "Reading of CPT and updating the map" there are plotted the characteristic points with taking into account the type of boundaries of the cadastral object. Drawing the point objects at the nodes of the municipalities boundaries and various zones, it is used the object "Characteristic point of boundaries" from the layer "Map-plan". Drawing points of buildings, structures and objects of unfinished construction is carried out with the conditional sign "Characteristic point of the contour OH". Loading points without Average Square Error value for land plots and their parts is carried out with the symbol "The characteristic point is existing one, the coordinates of which are determined with the error." For the characteristic points of all cadastral objects, there is added semantic "ID of the coordinate system" and the identification semantics of the cadastral object (cadastral or registry number, contour registration number). For characteristic points of land plots, it has been added semantics 1331 "Number of object part". There is added a record of the semantics for the points of the reference boundary network. There is fixed the data reading error for populating the composite semantics 1340 "Unregistered restrictions". The dialog "Semantics of the object for cadastral works" has been improved. There are added functions to automate the input of initial data from the cadastral map. If the object has semantics with the key KADNUM_K, its value is entered in the field "cadastral block number", and if it is absent there is called, the function for searching of the cadastral block and displaying in the corresponding dialog element the semantics with the cadastral block key KADNUM . For multi-contour plots, the input of the value "Area by document" for external contours and the calculation of the total area have been corrected. It is fixed rounding when calculating the area of a multi-contour plot. The areas of individual contours are first summed up and then rounded up to integer values.

The new mode "Adding semantics" has been added to the "Geodesic editor" task. The dialog "Automatic completion of the semantics for selected objects" has been improved, there has been added the step of changing the initial number. In the dialog "Designing a plot with boundary lines", the boundary lines of each plot are formed in accordance with its points, taking into account the identification semantics of the cadastral object. In the dialog "Filling a report for the object", it has been added the filling of markers containing the calculated total area value. These markers are used in the templates "Forest Declaration". In the dialog "Signing the area and the name of the object", the length of the applied demarcation line has been corrected and it has been added the output of area measurement units.

The dialog "Boundary plan" has been improved. When filling in the report of the position

"Formulas used to calculate the maximum permissible error in determining the area of a land

plot", a new procedure was implemented for using the initial data. If the object (site) has

semantics with the key FORMALA_S, then the read value is used. If there is no semantics, the

value from the program settings specified in the dialog "Parameters for generating cadastral

documents" is used. When generating a printed form of the approval act for adjacent sections, the

output of the values for the method and date of notification, the details of the document for the

representative of the allied company, and the method of withdrawing objections have been

added. To support these functions, the survey classifier of versions 5 and 6 has been updated, in

which new semantics have been added: "Details of a document confirming the representative

authority"," Method and date of notification about the coordination for the location of

boundaries, "Method of removing objections regarding the location of boundaries." When

generating the file XML of the boundary plan in the section Survey for the element

TochnAreaParcels, the area value (Area element) is read for the entire multi-contour plot, and

not for one the first external contour. It is added saving to the element

GeopointOpredDescription of the file XML for the value from the field "Additional information

about the method of determining the coordinates". For this, in the classifier survey.v5 and v6,

there has been added the new semantics with the key METHOD_ADD. When forming the

section "Information on the performed measurements and calculations" to fill in information

about the methods for determining the coordinates and formulas for determining Average Square

Error of points, the identification semantics for the characteristic points of the boundaries are

used. When generating the file XML of the boundary plan, in the section ChangeParcel

"Information on changed land plots and their parts" of the element TransformationContours

"Contours of the multi-contour land plot, the transformation of which is being carried out", it is

implemented the analysis of information about the registration numbers of the external contours

MKU when performing cadastral work on the division of the plot.

In the mode "Technical plan", it has been added processing the method of forming a real estate

object and the output to the date of surveying the points of the geodetic base has been added to

the report. The template 02_techplan.dot has been updated, in which markers have been added to

display the date of the survey In the text report of the technical plan of

construction object in progress, the insert of section "Conclusion of the cadastral engineer" has been added.

The new version of the program is available on the website in the section Download.
