well as 32-bit floating point samples. o Added support for generating 8-bit (256-color) GeoTIFF files with transparency. o Added support for importing BIL and GeoTIFF imagery files with 32-bit floating point samples. o Fixed major performance issue from v11.00 with triangulating and gridding 3D vector data. It should now be 5-10 times as fast as in v11.00. o Added support for generating tiled GeoTIFF files. o Added new Search menu option to allow finding and editing loaded vector features with the same attribute values. This is useful for enforcing things like an attribute that needs to be unique. o Made elevation statistics calculated for area features include slope statistics. o Added font/label scaling option when exporting (Geo)PDF files, allowing you to easily grow or shrink labels written to the PDF file. o Added ability to export to a fixed scale when exporting (Geo)PDF files. o Added support for generating MapInfo TAB files for most raster format exports. o Changed behavior of drawing lines using the trace mode of the Digitizer Tool to work while the mouse button is depressed and complete when you release it. This makes the trace mode work much better with digitizing tablets. Also, if your drawn feature is nearly closed, you will be prompted whether to create an area or a line feature. o Improved the labeling of areas so that the area label will always be inside the area. o Updated KML export to allow displaying point features above the terrain surface. o Updated KML vector export to have option to use symbols displayed in Global Mapper for point features rather than default push-pin. o Added new Lidar import option to pull in data in "preview" mode, which just pulls in every 10th point for quick load and display. You can now also choose to only pull in ground-shot points during a Lidar point cloud import. o Added option to Control Center to create a layer with a point feature at the center of each gridded elevation layer cell center. This provides a handy way to edit elevation layers as you can easily edit the elevation values of the created points or remove problem points, then create a new elevation grid from the edit points. o When displaying a 3D path profile of a 3D line feature, show the 3D line feature as well as the elevation profile. o Allow selection of the text font to use when displaying a 3D path profile rather than just the color of the text to display. o Updated printing to a file to allow the full resolution of the selected printer always be available, regardless of paper size. o Added new option to range ring creation to allow creating rectangles of the specified range rather than rings. o Added LOAD_STYLE_FILE script command to allow loading .gm_style files saved from the Styles tab of the Configuration dialog from scripts and also created new custom types from scripts. o Updated Shapefile exports to maintain the field type and length values (if possible) from the source data files if they are Shapefiles or DBF files.
