TopoMan CAD changelog

• Solids and surfaces from AutoCAD's DWG 2000, 2004, 2007 and 2010 files show and save: the surface used to be lost on opening and a DWG 2000 solid was not drawn; saved again, AutoCAD now opens them in any version, with the same area.
• AutoCAD solids and surfaces saved as DXF 2010 or older no longer reach AutoCAD empty: they come out whole, with their area.
• AutoCAD DXF files with solids save as DWG without losing them, all the solids of an AutoCAD DWG 2007 show —only some did before— and a drawing with an offset or NURBS surface saves in any version.
• Large 3D models and terrains saved as DWG open whole: past 250,000 faces, the rest was lost on opening.
• Join into polyline keeps two polygons apart even when the boundary between them misses by a hair: before it made one for both.
• A single PDF reader: what the viewer shows is what gets traced, signed and annotated, and PDFs that could not be signed or traced before now can.
• The desktop PDF reader, with its ribbon: PDF, Edit and Sign tabs, Acrobat's pointers and a sharper page. Electronic signing lives in the ribbon, with no separate window.
• Password-protected PDFs: they open, can be protected and keep it on saving. And a new PDF from images.

• Bing in the geo-image, with street and place names: satellite, hybrid and map, like Google.
• «Labels on top» puts those names over the CNR orthophoto or Esri's photo.
• Twelve new 2026 CNR flights, built in.
• 2D drawings from the 3D model: the plan of each level, the four elevations and the sections, with filled cuts, door swings, rooms and dimensions; one button brings them up to date.
• The walkthrough with a game controller, on the desktop, the phone and the web.
• Parametric modeling in the style of Fusion: sketches with constraints —shown as icons next to each piece—, dimensions, splines and patterns; extrusions, revolves, patterns, mirrors, fillets, chamfers and shells in a timeline, several bodies and named parameters; change a number and the solid rebuilds.
• Real reflections in the Realistic style: glass, metal and water reflect the walls, the furniture and the floor, not just the sky; in Ultra, light also bounces. And more than sixteen material images, each face with its own size.
• 2D drawings of the model, complete: dimension chains for every wall and opening —also sill and head heights on elevations and the inner walls—, dashed hidden lines, a drawing of the current view in perspective or parallel, and everything onto a layout to scale with its title block, which is a block with attributes.
• Volumes with slopes: a platform's cut and fill go on at their slope until they reach the terrain, in the 3D terrain model.
• The 3D terrain model, complete: breaklines the TIN respects, growing the surface with a point outside it, the satellite photo on top and the volume of the edits against the surface before.
• The 3D viewer measures, selects and orbits freely, with thicker edges on the phone, hatches in their plane and the curved faces of AutoCAD solids and surfaces.
• AutoCAD 2026 solids and surfaces save to DWG 2004, 2007 and 2010, and AutoCAD opens them; asked for DWG 2000, the drawing comes out as 2004 and says why.
• The technical description writes figures in words: «Porción 2» becomes «Porción dos». It is a new checkbox in «Text format», ticked.
• «Labels» in «Show overlay» now shows names: Bing's.
• The current layer's bulb shows off with the drop-down closed too.
• Terms of use in «About» and in the Windows installer, and the notices of the libraries the program uses.
• The area of a lot with a curved boundary includes the arc, as in AutoCAD and the plugin.

• Undoing a command also removes the layers it created, if they are left empty: Define boundary, Data table and the rest.
• A drawing reopens on the current layer it was saved with.
• 3D Modeling, on the desktop: a new selector in the status bar switches from 2D drawing to modeling. Draw a rectangle, a circle or a polygon and raise it with Push/Pull, as in SketchUp; move, copy, rotate and scale with exact measurements. It is saved in the same DWG and AutoCAD opens it.
• And its solid tools: boxes, cylinders, cones, pyramids and spheres; union, subtraction and intersection; Follow Me, Offset, Fillet and Chamfer; painting with materials; section plane; and OBJ, STL, glTF and DAE import and export.
• 3D Architecture: design a house by levels with walls, doors, windows, slabs, roofs, stairs, rooms with their area and furniture, and paint it with brick, wood, tile or roof tiles, on the ground with the sky behind. Walls can be raised on the lines of a 2D plan.
• Realistic render and walkthrough: the sun of any date and time with its shadows, the sky, lamps at night, five quality levels, and a walkthrough to walk through the house at eye level, climbing stairs.
• The walkthrough for the client (.tm3d): export the house in one file and your client walks through it with TopoMan CAD with no license, on the computer, the phone or the web: they open doors and windows, switch on the lights and go from day to night. The file has its own icon and thumbnail.
• A click with the mouse still moving no longer pans in MOVE or any other command, nor gets lost when closing a selection window.
• The GPS moves live with you: as you walk, your point advances every second on the drawing and in Measure with GPS, without freezing or jumping.
• On the phone, the buttons of the floating bar are easy to tell apart: Esc and Enter no longer look like one.
• A saved DXF keeps its angles clockwise: when reopened, bearings no longer come out reversed.
• On the start screen you choose the mode new drawings open in —2D Drawing, 3D Modeling or 3D Architecture—, and every file reopens in the mode it was saved in.
• The text editor no longer cuts a word or jumps between lines when zooming: it always breaks where the drawing does.
• 3D Architecture with measurements: walls, slabs and roofs are drawn by typing the length, «dx,dy» or, for a slab, «width,length». The ground grid no longer disappears with the Home view and turns off with the status bar grid.
• Layers work in 3D: picking a layer moves the selection to it, and what is on a locked layer cannot be selected or edited.
• Dynamic input in 3D too: when drawing walls, slabs, roofs and lines the length and angle show live next to the cursor, and Tab locks them, as in LINE.
• Hatches as in AutoCAD: the gallery has the same patterns as AutoCAD's for that drawing —the nine gradients and USER too—, at the same size for the same scale, and no swatches look duplicated any more. The hatch just placed stays selected, and the scale, angle or pattern changed on the ribbon apply to it.

• Page Setup drop-downs are visible: they opened hidden behind the dialog and seemed to do nothing.
• The paper size list shows many more in Plot and Page Setup, instead of three with a scroll bar, never going off screen, and no longer stays behind when the dialog is moved.
• "Fit to paper" reaches the printable limit —the blue line in the preview—, and only leaves a small margin on a paper with none.
• Picking "Window" with none set asks for it right away, like AutoCAD.
• Clicks on the drawing are no longer lost now and then.
• Areas and distances have a thousands separator: "AREA: 7,000.04 M²". It is chosen in Settings › Units, which now uses two columns and is almost half as tall.
• A page setup saved here loads in AutoCAD with its scale, not at 1:1 and without a name.
• The Page Setup Manager no longer widens when one is picked.
• LIST opens the console at the command itself, with the report below.
• A text box can't be made narrower than its widest word.
• In the empty part of a centred text, right-click shows "Paste" and left-click puts the cursor there while editing it.

• The Properties palette, as in AutoCAD: Esc no longer closes it, and dragged against the left or right edge of the drawing it docks to that side; it reopens where you left it.
• LIST writes like AutoCAD: every polyline vertex with its coordinates, the center and radius of curved segments, and where a line goes from and to.
• SCALE no longer misplaces title block labels: centered ones ended up right-aligned after scaling.
• Moon base on an upright phone: dialogs no longer stack on top of each other and the texts fit.
• A single-line text is edited on one line: a table title no longer breaks in two when opened with a double-click.
• The Page Setup Manager, as in AutoCAD: the list one below another, rename by clicking the selected one, double-click to set it current, and «New…» with its own dialog and «Start with».

• A bigger Moon base: five new robots and five new aliens, a different theme on each level, and with more robots than fit you pick them when the level starts. Difficulty reworked: you start with less energy, and medium and hard are a real challenge. Lanes not in use are bare moon ground, and the game has a new icon.
• New icon for DWG files on Windows.
• Page setup, as in AutoCAD: the manager stays open while you modify —with its «Close» button—, the dialog says which page setup you are modifying and has «Preview», and picking the plot window again shows the current one with the rest greyed out.
• A patterned hatch is selected by its lines, with a click or a crossing window: between them you can select what lies underneath. And the text editor breaks lines just like the drawing.

• Measure with GPS, reorganised: «Take» is now called Measure and «Measure», Compute, with Distance and Area in view. In Points you can create a point by hand with its coordinates, and in Lines you create a line by tapping the points on the map.
• Photo with coordinates (Android): in Tools › Location, a photo with the coordinate, the date and whatever you choose stamped where you want it, saved to the gallery.
• On the phone, more drawing in view: the bar at the bottom —Model, layouts and aids— is lower, and in viewer mode the touch bar only shows when there is something to drop or finish.
• The compass north arrow sits at the bottom right, above the command line, and is no longer covered.
• A paragraph text widened here looks the same in AutoCAD: there it was still wrapped at the old width.
• New game: Moon base, in the style of Plants vs Zombies: put robots in the lanes and stop the alien invasion, with energy falling from the sky, waves and a new robot every level.
• Games go full screen on the phone: no page header; at the top, a strip with the back arrow, the figures, the actions, help and sound.
• A more snake-like Snake: a longer head, it bends in curves, tapers towards the tail, looks at the apple, blinks and flicks its tongue; it opens its mouth like Google's, bites and chews, and crashing looks better.

• Undo inside a command undoes in the command: in the text editor, what you typed; in any command, the last step; while measuring, the last point. It no longer quietly undoes something in the drawing.
• The corners of rectangles and polylines look closed when zoomed in.
• Double-clicking a text to edit it no longer moves the text.
• The editor of a rotated text stays put while you stretch its ruler.
• Update tables asks first: it highlights them on the drawing and lets you bring them up to date or keep them as they are, all or one by one. A table's title is now yours: changing it does not flag the table as stale and is not lost when updating it.
• New icons for the installer, the uninstaller and DWG, DXF and PDF files.

• The closest zoom reaches 0.0001 in any drawing, even a drawing several kilometres across, and at that zoom everything stays in place.
• The web version downloads 25 % faster: the program is smaller.
• A drawing opened from the file manager goes to a tab of the window that is already open, or to a new window if you choose so in Options. On the Mac, double-clicking in the Finder now opens the drawing.
• Tabs can be reordered by dragging, pulled out to a new window and moved to another window.
• If it was closed maximised, it opens maximised, without first showing as a small window.
• With the Split polygon, Label sides or tables bar open, any other command can be used —a polyline, a text— without losing what you were doing; and Cancel in Set boundary undoes everything.
• On the phone, a bar with Esc, Enter and each command's options, and a button to draw windows with your finger: commands that needed a keyboard can now be finished.
• The cursor changes with the command, as in AutoCAD: the red cross when erasing, the match properties brush, the zoom magnifier…
• Text editing goes on to the next text, as in AutoCAD: click another text and it opens, until you press Esc.
• The technical description follows its boundary: if the polyline gains a vertex or you change the start, the sides move along by themselves; if that is no longer possible, it warns and won't export an incomplete document.
• Grips work as in AutoCAD: grips of two selected objects at the same point are dragged together, and a hatch has its own on its boundary and at its centre.
• Scaling with the mouse is under control, as in AutoCAD: it grows as you move away from the base point and shrinks as you come closer, instead of jumping to ×50 at once.
• Links in a PDF work: those in the contents take you to their page and web links open in the browser.

• Two new games: Wood blocks, get the red block out by sliding the others, level after level, with stars, points and a best score; and Blocks, fit the falling pieces together and complete rows.
• On the phone, back returns to the home screen from a 3D model.
• Measurement, in Tools: a GPS data collector —points with a description and any name you like (A1, M01…), distances, areas, lines, named surveys saved automatically, with the map rotating with the phone's compass— and, on Android, measuring with the camera. Everything can go to a drawing.
• «Join into polyline» now closes the polygons of a data collector DXF, and on the home screen several recent files can be removed or shared at once.
• Undo brings layers back as they were —turning one on or off is undone with Ctrl+Z— and the console no longer stays open by itself after LIST.
• Very close zoom has a limit and at that limit everything looks and moves right, and the scale rule works in millimetres even when the sheet comes in inches.

• 3D mode: «View → Orbit» shows the model in 3D, lit, to turn it, zoom and move it with the mouse or with your fingers. A cube to jump to each view, four visual styles and perspective or parallel view. SketchUp models exported to DWG or DXF open whole, and so do AutoCAD and Revit 3D solids, with their text in place.
• The terrain 3D model: in «Topography → Surface → 3D model» you select the surface —the TIN, the points or the contours— and it opens in its own window to look at it from any side, measure distances and areas on the terrain, compute cut and fill against a platform while moving its elevation live —and see both solids on their own, with swell and shrinkage factors—, see the project's point cloud, edit it point by point, draw polylines that follow the terrain and save it separately as DWG, DXF, OBJ or STL, or take it to the drawing.
• Fill in PDF forms: fields show in blue and are filled in by tapping them —text is typed in place, boxes are ticked—, and it is saved in the same PDF, which opens the same in Acrobat.
• A new game, Starships: four ships to choose from, power-ups, levels and a boss at the end of each one.
• And another, Gems, in the style of Candy Crush and Bejeweled: line up three or more of a colour, with special gems and levels with limited moves.
• A «Hint» button in Gems and Solitaire, for when you cannot see the move.
• The games work with the phone on its side too: the bar goes to the side and the board gets the whole height, and it no longer sits under the camera hole. On a tablet on its side too: the board gets the full height.
• On Android, TopoMan buttons in the pull-down shade (quick settings): sound mode, volume —for data collectors without volume buttons—, current coordinate and compass. Set them up in Tools → Quick settings.
• A setup wizard the first time the program opens, and whenever you want from View › Options.
• Options in two columns on the desktop: it fits on any screen.
• Share and remove from recent files, in a «⋮» menu next to the name.
• The games need a licence: without one you can play Stake-out.
• A beaten record shows: «New record!» as soon as you pass it, and the new best time when you win.
• The drawing area background, your way: in Settings → Interface, some swatches and a wheel for any other colour; the theme's, one fixed for both themes or one for each theme.
• The colour of accents and icons, your way too: «Custom», with its wheel, the same in both themes or one for each.
• On phones, the converters redesigned like a modern Android app: big full-width boxes, the result on a card with its copy button and the equivalents in a list.
• With the light theme on Android the clock and signal now show at the top, and the drawing area is a shade darker.
• Minesweeper has «New», like the other games.
• DXF thumbnails in Windows Explorer, and in the program's recent files the thumbnail of every drawing you open, even if you do not save it.
• In a PDF, Ctrl+C copies the selected text.
• The DXF and DWG engine is upgraded, and AutoCAD opens drawings saved here with zero errors in every version, including those carrying objects from other programs and those that could not be delivered as DWG 2000 before.

• On Android, TopoMan CAD now shows up in «Open with» for DXF files too, not only for DWG and PDF.
• Games on the start screen: a Solitaire with the TopoMan logo on the cards, a Sudoku and Stake-out, a surveying game: you get the bearing and distance and drive the marker in. With sound, which can be turned off.
• A new start screen on phones, like today's Android apps: a bar at the bottom with Files, Tools, Games and Settings. In Files, a search box, a card, grid or list view, a filter for only PDFs or only drawings —both remembered— and the open and new-drawing buttons. Whatever opens from there goes full screen, with a back arrow.
• Print a drawing from the phone: the plot dialog on Android now lists «Impresoras de Android», which opens the system print dialog to choose the printer. Before, the only way out was the PDF.
• Printing, reviewed for any printer brand and on all five systems: the dialog no longer freezes while the printer driver answers, on Linux each printer's paper sizes and two-sided printing show up and a landscape plan goes to its own paper, and inside the Flatpak the printers are now visible.
• The plot preview no longer stutters on drawings with many lines.
• Surveying: «Set boundary», «Label contours» and «Contour lines» with their own bar and live changes —the contours one stays open after drawing them, to adjust the interval and smoothing—, and «Change start» in the boundary one. In «Split polygon», what you pick up lands exactly where you drop it with object snap, whatever does not comply is drawn red instead of disappearing, and «Side» is gone.
• Two new games, Minesweeper and Snake, and the others with a new look and a help button explaining how to play each one. Stake-out, the surveying game, comes first. Snake and Stake-out have a difficulty, medium out of the box, and the snake opens its mouth to eat.
• A pink colour for the interface, and on phones files in a grid, «Share» on a PDF that now works and «Layer properties» full screen.

• Large DXF files open in a second: a 60 MB drawing with 200 000 objects took almost two minutes and looked as if it would never open.
• AutoCAD resources: install or uninstall, one at a time.
• In the Start menu, TopoMan CAD sits in the «TopoMan» folder, shared with the AutoCAD plugin.
• The Microsoft Store version's icon matches the installer's, without the white background.
• «Licence and device» shows your plan and whether it renews by itself, with the next charge, and if it cannot be cancelled from the program it says how to do it in n1co.

• Manage your subscription from the program: in «Licence and device», a foldable section with your devices and free slots, releasing a device and cancelling the subscription. What you paid stays valid until its date.
• Comment on PDFs: the speech bubble in the annotate row leaves a comment wherever you touch the page, and any comment —yours or from another program— opens when you touch it. It is saved as in Acrobat.
• Type text directly on a PDF page, in the area you mark, with its size and colour: Acrobat's «Add text».
• Large drawings open on data collectors and mid-range phones, and moving around them is about twenty times faster; on Android, zooming and panning are twice as smooth in any drawing, and the first zoom after opening the app no longer stutters.
• Work between the letters of a large text, as in AutoCAD: an SHX text is picked by touching its strokes, and what is behind can be selected.
• In Samsung DeX the mouse works as on a computer, without capturing it: the crosshair follows the cursor, with right click, wheel and DeX's bar at hand.

• Opens PDFs in their own tab, next to DXF and DWG, to view them: with unlimited zoom that stays sharp up close, their pages with thumbnails, finding and copying their text, printing them, and signing or validating the one in front of you. On the PC and on the phone.
• Annotate PDFs: highlight and underline the text, and write or circle whatever you like with the pen and the highlighter; the eraser removes annotations and it can be undone. It is saved in the same PDF, and Acrobat or the phone see it the same way.
• «Current coordinate» chooses its coordinate system in the same dialog, without having to georeference the drawing; with «Show compass», it also opens from the recent files screen.
• The pages of a PDF: rotate them, reorder them, delete them and insert pages from another PDF or an image, from the pages panel. Everything can be undone, and deleted pages do not stay inside the file.
• Images inside a PDF look smooth, as in Acrobat.
• PDFs read as in Acrobat or Word: all pages in a row, scrolled with the wheel or your finger. And with a PDF in front the CAD ribbon is gone: at the top, PDF mode with save, save as, undo, redo and print, and the electronic signature on the page's bar.
• PDFs show their first page in Windows Explorer, as with Acrobat, even if you don't open them with TopoMan CAD.
• The start screen, without the ribbon: instead of the tabs, a strip with what works without opening a drawing —current coordinate, compass, converter, electronic signature and about—.
• The signature text, your way: in «Signature setup» each line shows the detail you choose —name, date, reason…—, your own text, or both, with bold, size, alignment and color; the name can go as in the certificate, capitalized or in capitals, and the date and time are picked from a list with examples (23/09/2026 5:21 PM).
• Up to two images in the stamp, each to the left, to the right or behind the text, with its own size, distance to the text and opacity —faint behind the text, so it can be read—.
• Lock document after signing, as in Acrobat.
• Signature format: PAdES inside the PDF —the usual one, or the European B-B profile—, or a separate CAdES (.p7s or .p7m) or XAdES (.xsig) signature.
• Smoother across the program: PDFs with many pages are painted on several cores and the next page is ready ahead of time; and when editing a large drawing the pause after each command drops to less than half —on a 213,000-entity drawing, from 0.21 to 0.09 seconds—.
• Your signature design is no longer lost: it lives in its own file and only «Set up signature» changes it.
• Label sides and Label area open their bar when pressed, with undo and redo; the distance and the area in any unit of the converter —with its conversions below the area— and the bearing in degrees, in degrees and minutes or in degrees, minutes and seconds.
• Split polygon: splitting a second polygon no longer erases the first; «Direction» can also be grabbed by the ends; and the new «Number of lots» criterion starts with equal areas and lets you move each line: the one you move stays and the rest share what is left equally.
• Side, area and lot labels come out in Arial, with «Á» and «²» written properly even if the drawing has a stroke font set.
• What you see while drawing follows the color chosen in Options —blue and turquoise, or orange—: measuring, the rubber band, the front and side of «Split polygon»; and a cross marks the first click of a polyline.
• A lot's frontage adds up its stretches when the street bends within it: it is no longer shown in red for the minimum frontage if the stretches together reach it. And with «A to B» the front is marked from one point of the boundary to another.
• CNR notices open for signing, and sharing on the phone shows the drawing's name.

• EXTEND extends a line lying on a side of a closed shape, as AutoCAD does: it used to pick the shape and say it had no ends to extend. And TRIM cuts where another line ends exactly on the one being trimmed, instead of erasing too much.
• Sign PDF leaves more room for the sheet, the stamp handles always respond, and with «No visible stamp» the sheet stays visible.
• Dialogs no longer slide under the program's title bar on small or scaled screens, and the close «X» lights up and says «Close».
• The program starts on the Tools tab, with the converter, signing and the licence at hand; opening a drawing switches to Home. With no drawing, the buttons with nothing to act on are disabled.
• On the phone, the converters work with the keyboard: you can type, scroll down to every conversion with the keyboard up, and the dialog no longer goes under the status bar. The start screen drops the bottom bar so the recent files get more room.

• Nothing stays selected when a command ends, Copy included: the copied objects stayed selected after pressing Enter or Esc.
• Angular dimension by picking two lines, as in AutoCAD: a polyline side counts, so a lot corner is dimensioned without picking the vertex.
• Sign PDF without Adobe: in Tools → Electronic signature, with your UKC Desktop certificate. Mark the stamp on the sheet, UKC asks for the PIN and that is it; AutoCAD PDFs too. And «Signature setup» saves your stamps —with your logo or your name and the details you want— as Adobe does. Any certificate works, from any country, also as a file (.pfx), and on the phone too.
• Import PDF, closer to a drawing: arcs and circles come back as arcs and circles —survey marker symbols, centred on the vertex—, layers the PDF has off come in off, the sheet follows the cursor while placing it, and the scale can be calibrated from two known points, which gives the rotation too.
• More MicroStation DGN files open: those carrying certain blocks from other programs, and labels stored in an unusual way.
• Validate signatures: in Tools → Electronic signature, checks the signed PDFs you receive, like the BCR validator: whether the document changed, who signed and when, the backing authority and, online, whether the certificate is revoked.
• Easier to tell you are inside a viewport: a thick cyan border, as in AutoCAD, and a «Model space» label. And grips are larger, with the one in the middle of each segment elongated so it is not mistaken for a vertex grip.

• Buttons with more options, such as Circle or Arc, open by tapping their name, not just the small arrow: the name and the arrow are one area, as in AutoCAD, and hovering shows it. And the large ribbon icons are a little bigger.
• Layer properties and Plot, made for the phone: layers as cards with finger-sized switches, and the plot dialog in one column that fits the screen. You can now get a drawing's PDF from the phone.
• The ribbon no longer shows a scroll bar when resizing the window.
• «About» shows the program's website, topoman.net.
• «Export PDF» works, in Output: it exports the sheet to PDF with its page setup, without opening the plot dialog. And location and compass have their own panel in Georeference.
• Undo and redo inside a command: in a polyline they remove and bring back the last segment without leaving it, and in Trim or Offset the last trim or the last parallel.
• Rectangle and Ellipse have a drop-down, as in AutoCAD: Polygon, ellipse by centre and elliptical arc.
• «Show current location» follows you until you move the drawing, and «Current coordinate» has «Copy all».
• If the program closes abruptly, work is no longer lost: when reopened it offers to recover the drawings that had unsaved changes, as AutoCAD does.
• Modify, as in AutoCAD: its title has an arrow that opens more tools —Order and Join are there—, Trim and Extend share one button with an arrow, and Fillet and Chamfer another.
• Blend Curves joins the ends of two objects with a curve without a corner, and Array also works along a path: posts along a curved boundary. Point has an arrow: one point or several in a row.

• Three decimal settings in «Table format»: distances, areas and bearing seconds, each with its own figure, in the tables, the area label, the sides and the technical description; columns widen so nothing overlaps the lines. And «Set as default» in the three boundary format dialogs.
• The technical description in Word is a real .docx: the format that Word, LibreOffice, Google Docs and the phone's office apps open. It used to be a .doc that was RTF inside, and not every program opened it well; and now each page ends on the same line as in the PDF.
• «Label format» fits on the phone: when two fields do not fit on one row, they go one per row.
• On a Chromebook the window width decides the interface, as on Windows, instead of always using the touch one.

• Three field buttons in Georeference: the device's current coordinate in the drawing's system (East, North, elevation and error), a real compass, and the drawing rotating live with it. Track location also zooms to the point.
• Location is honest in three steps: green only from GPS, orange from the network with a good error, and what only says the country is not drawn.
• Linking the subscription without typing: the e-mail and the code paste with a button or by pressing and holding, and on Android the keyboard no longer covers them nor fails to come back.

• “Mobile (touch-adapted)” interface: the whole program sized for a finger, dialogs as sheets rising from the bottom, the TopoMan menu as the phone's sheet, and the back key closing any dialog.
• Divide polygon also lays out by frontage: equal frontages, fixed frontage, frontage and depth, and equal frontages and areas; street crossings are left open.
• The technical description knows Guatemala, with its departments, municipalities and villages.
• Fixes: the unit converter fits on the phone; recent drawings no longer vanish; the start screen leaves more room for the recent list.

Lay out lots by pointing at the street, not by marking points

• New Lay out lots button in Survey → Subdivision, beside «Split polygon». Select the parcel, point at the boundary facing the street, and that is it: the lots hang from there. No method, no cut shape and no two points in mid-air to mark — the drawing answers those questions.
• Point at a side boundary as well and the party lines come out parallel to it, which is how a skewed parcel is really laid out. Press Enter instead and they come out square to the street, which is the ordinary case.
• You can take a strip first of whatever area you type, against the street, and lay out only that one: the back of the parcel is left as it is. Handy for splitting the front row and leaving the rest for later.
• Anything short of the minimum frontage comes out labelled RESTO, in red and with no lot number, and is counted separately at the end. Before, a two-metre sliver was drawn just like the rest — a lot that cannot be sold, handed over as if it could.
• You see it before you click. Hovering over the boundaries lights up the one the click would take; with the front already chosen —which stays marked in blue— the lots that would come out are drawn, yellow for the ones that sell and red for the leftovers. So you can try which side boundary works best without splitting, looking and undoing.
• You can lay out in rounds. The back left over when a strip is taken is now drawn, so you can select it and lay it out in turn with another criterion — and the new lots carry on the numbering instead of starting at LOT 1 again. The rule is simple: select a lot or the back of the layout you already have and only that gets subdivided; select anything else and it starts over as before. Works for «Split polygon» too.
• Blocks in two rows, with the party lines aligned. Tick «Block: two rows back to back» and the parcel is split at half depth with each row facing its own street — and the party lines at the front fall exactly opposite those at the back, which is what makes a layout look like a layout. The number of lots is the one for each row. In a wedge-shaped block the cuts stay the same, so the rows differ in size and the party lines still read as aligned from the street.
• All of it honours curved boundaries: the area of a lot with a curved front counts the curve, and the frontage measured is the arc and not its chord.

Laying out a subdivision: streets and polygons

• Two more buttons in Subdivision. Lay street selects the parcel, asks for the width —8 m to start with, then the width of the previous street— and asks for the two centreline points: the street is drawn and the polygons come out of whatever is left between streets.
• Polygons works them out again. That is what you use after moving a street: a street is an ordinary rectangle in the drawing, so you move, rotate and stretch it with the usual grips, and this button redoes the layout.
• Two streets that cross give four polygons, three give six, and so on. The street is drawn stretched to the edge of the parcel, which is as far as it really cuts — what you see is what was done.
• And splitting one does not wipe the lots in the others: do one, do the next, and the numbering carries on. The polygon outline stays in case you want to split it again.
• What it does not do yet is a street that stops inside the parcel without coming out the other side.

And one single command to split

• Split polygon is now the command you ask for by pointing at the boundary facing the street. The one that used to carry that name —a dialog with four methods and four cut shapes, and two or three points marked in empty space— did exactly the same with more steps, so it is gone. If you type LOTEAR or LOT, they still take you to it.
• "Blocks" is now "Polygons", button, command and layer (TopoMan_Poligonos): what comes out of cutting a parcel with its streets is not always a city block.

And lot labels are tuned with the drawing in front of you

• "Label format" (Survey) now has one more section: each lot's label. The height, the decimals and the area in square varas were only asked for in the "Split polygon" dialog, that is before there was any lot to look at; now you raise and lower them here, and the labels already drawn are redone on the spot, like the side ones.
• You can also take them off and put them back from there, without repeating the split. The numbering does not move: each lot keeps the number it had, and the RESTO still carries none.

Split polygon is now designed by eye: streets, curved corners, dimensions and a bar

• Once the polygon is selected, the dialog becomes a bar above the drawing and everything else is done on the drawing, watching the result redo itself with every gesture. Nothing reaches the drawing until "OK" (or Enter), and then it all goes in as a single undo step. "Cancel" or Esc drops it without touching anything.
• Four modes in the bar, which say what the click does. *Front*: the boundary facing the street of each block; click it again to remove it. *Side*: a boundary beside it, so the party lines come out parallel to it; without one, square. *Street*: two clicks on the centreline lay out a street with the bar's width, which splits the polygon into blocks; it can then be grabbed and dragged with the mouse, and right-clicking on it removes it. *Corner*: a click on a lot corner gives it the curve or takes it away.
• Curves on the corners facing two streets, with their radius in the bar and the "automatic" box to put them all at once; with "Corner" they are corrected one by one, both ways. The curve is made on the lot itself, so its area and label already include it.
• Temporary dimensions. Every lot in the preview shows the length of its sides and its area, in the same boxes that appear when hovering a grip: they do not resize with the zoom, and the party line two lots share is dimensioned once. They are switched off with "Show temporary dimensions" in the dialog or "Dimensions" in the bar; on by default.
• The bar also carries the criterion and, depending on it, how many lots or what area; the minimum frontage; the two rows back to back; and the street width.
• The dialog is smaller: each field's help moved to its tooltip and the fields were gathered into one grid.
• Selecting the polygon no longer asks for Enter: touch the polyline and the design begins.

Split polygon: each section does its own thing, its own undo, sidewalks and medians

• Undo and redo inside the design: two buttons next to OK, and Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y with the bar open, undo the last design step —a street, a front, a corner— without touching the drawing.
• Each section does one thing: in "Lay out" you only lay out, in "Move" you only move, in "Remove" you only remove. Dragging a street or removing it with the right button no longer works from any section, and dragging outside "Move" and "Width" pans the drawing.
• The bar is always the same size and shows only the settings of the current section: the width appears in "Lay out" and "Width", the split in "Front", the curves in "Corner". Texts were shortened; the long explanation is in each section's tooltip.
• A new street can have a planting strip and a sidewalk, on each side —roadway, planting strip, sidewalk— each with its own width and each optional; they go into the drawing in their own layers, and a street that already had them enters the design with them.
• "Street outside": with that box ticked, a click on a parcel boundary lays the street outside, against it; clicks on the neighbouring boundaries extend it along them, so it follows the whole frontage vertex after vertex, and another click on a boundary it already covers removes it. It does not split the parcel, but its corners count as street for the curves.
• "Move" also changes the direction: a click on one end of the street carries only that end, with the other one fixed.
• "Width" chooses the street: a click marks it and the bar shows its roadway width, planting strip and sidewalk to change them there; a click on its edge carries it with the cursor, as before.
• "Labels and dimensions" comes in two sections, "Temporary dimensions" and "Lot label", each with its own settings; the label starts off.
• Streets stay in the drawing as lines, not as a rectangle: the two roadway edges, and those of the planting strip and sidewalk if it has them, each in its layer. The street is left free. A street the drawing already had as a rectangle comes out the same way, as lines, on OK.
• "Lay street" on the ribbon opens the same design as Split polygon, on the streets tab, and from there you move to the other two. "Polygons" left the ribbon: the blocks are left by the design on OK.
• Two more sections in "Lots": "Direction" and "Back line". With "Two rows", the back-to-back line moves like a street: dragged whole, by one of its vertices, or bent with a click —"Click adds vertex" box—; right-click removes a vertex or puts it back to automatic. And dragging a party line turns all of its block's with it; it overrides the side, and right-click on one puts it back to automatic.
• The grips of what is moved by hand are round and bigger —street ends, the back line's vertices and the middle of each party line— to tell them from the square corners. And while dragging, the point snaps to whatever object reference is on.
• Each lot's label is two boxes, "Lot number" and "Area", in the Split polygon bar and in "Label format": you can write just the number, just the area or both. And the default height is now 1.00.
• "Tables & names", on Surveying → Subdivision: a bar like Split polygon's to produce the three tables of a subdivision —lot areas of each polygon, lots per polygon and polygon areas, with their total and the style of the boundary tables— with the names decided while looking at the drawing. It loads the split's lots and polygons and any closed polyline joins with a click, so it works for a subdivision drawn by hand or coming from another program. The names show on each piece: change the naming —prefix, letters or numbers, starting number, zero padding, series per polygon or continuous—, order by clicking the pieces in the order you want, and give any of them a custom name. On OK, lots and polygons are labelled —editing the label they already have— and the tables are left where you placed them, each one following the cursor before you drop it. And the Tables tab now has "Delete": a click removes the table that is in the way, and the "Delete all" button removes the ones from that session — none of that touches the drawing, and Ctrl+Z brings them back. Command LOTTABLES.
• The layer manager no longer cancels what you are doing: it opens in the middle of a command, of the split design or of the tables bar, like AutoCAD's transparent 'LAYER.

"Label format" now holds every label of the drawing, and is shorter

• Each polygon's name joins in, the one "Tables & names" writes: raise and lower its height and the ones already there change at once, without moving and without losing the name they were given.
• And lot labels are no longer renumbered. Touching any box of this dialog on a drawing named with "Tables & names" used to send them back to "LOT 1, 2, 3…" without a word — and the drawing went out with the lots named differently from the deeds. Now each lot keeps the name it has written.
• The dialog is condensed: numbers go two per row, the lot label boxes on a single row, and "Text inside the lot" becomes "Inside" next to Both/Distance/Bearing. It fits on a laptop screen.

"Licence and device" and "About" are on the ribbon

• New About group on Tools, between Converter and Plug-ins, with both of them. They were only in the corner menu, and they are exactly what you look for when you have to write and ask for a licence: the device identifier and the installed version. They are still in the menu too.

Layers can be turned on and off while you design

• With Split polygon, Label sides, Lay street or Tables & names open you can turn layers on and off without losing any of the work in progress, and the change shows at once. That is what you need when drawings overlap and a layer has to go out of the way so you can click what is underneath.
• And turning a layer off also turns off what the tool shows of it: in "Tables & names", lots or polygons on a hidden layer stop being drawn and clicked, and come back whole —with their name and their place in the series— when you turn it on.
• What gets drawn turns its layer back on. If the layer where the lots, the labels or the tables land was off when you pressed OK, it is turned on and named: what you just asked for is visible. You can turn it off again whenever you want.

Object snap tracking suggests the polar angles, and polar tracking restricts

• With object snap tracking on (F11, on by default), while drawing a line or a polyline the point softly locks onto the horizontal, the vertical and the polar tracking angles from the previous point —with its dashed guide— when passing close, and moves freely away from them. Before, it only did so with ortho or polar on, and on the polar angles only with polar on.
• Polar tracking (F10) keeps restricting to the angle, as always: it is the other aid, for drawing at a fixed angle.
• The tracking guide is green and dashed, and starts at the point being tracked from, running to the edge of the screen, as in AutoCAD.
• Object snap tracking has its own angle in Options → System ("Tracking every:"), apart from polar's ("Polar every:"). The box is titled "Snap, polar and object snap tracking", shorter, so the window does not widen.
• Label sides works like Split polygon: click the polyline and the labels and their bar appear, no Enter. The dialog in the middle is gone: it is now a bar at the top, like the design's, with what is written, the height, the offset and the decimals, and how many polygons carry labels. And with the bar open you keep selecting polygons —one at a time or several with a window— and all are labelled at once with the same format; another click on an already labelled one removes its labels. Enter or Esc finish keeping the labels; "Cancel" undoes the session. Everything labelled in one session is a single undo step, and "Label format" later redoes the labels of every polygon, not just the last one.

Object snap tracking, and Split polygon entirely in its bar

• Object snap tracking (F11), like AutoCAD's: rest the cursor a moment on an endpoint, a centre or any snap point and it is acquired with a cross; then, when you pass aligned with it —horizontally, vertically or at the polar tracking angles— a dotted line appears and the point snaps to it, and where two cross, to the crossing. Resting the cursor on it again releases it. It is in the status bar and in Options, and starts on.
• Laying out streets in Split polygon obeys ortho, polar and tracking, and the street in progress is shown where the click is going to land.
• Streets are edited in the design, with the lots redone live: in the Streets tab, "Move" takes the street with a click, carries it with the cursor and another click drops it; "Width" does the same for the width; "Remove" removes it; and right-click puts back what was taken. Dragging it with the button held also works. The streets the drawing already had over the parcel enter the design and are edited the same way.
• Streets are clipped to the parcel: the two grey leftovers the rectangle left outside at each end are no longer drawn.
• The "Split the polygon into lots" dialog is gone: pressing Split polygon selects the polyline and the bar appears with everything in it, in three tabs — Streets; Lots (front, side, corner; strip, criterion, lots or area, two rows, tolerance, minimum frontage, curves); and Labels and dimensions.
• "Label" in the bar shows in each lot the number and area as they will be, at their height and with their decimals and varas, instead of the area box; the numbering follows the drawing's.

Lineweights come out right when printing from AutoCAD

• A drawing started in TopoMan CAD printed thin from AutoCAD even when the page setup and the plot style table had been created there: the two layouts of a new drawing carried the plot boxes unticked, and AutoCAD passes them on to any page setup created on top — "plot object lineweights" stayed off inside, even though the dialog showed it greyed out. A new drawing now comes with "plot with plot styles" and "plot object lineweights" on, and a drawing that already came out that way is repaired when saved again here, in any DWG or DXF version.
• Pasting from AutoCAD left one AUDIT error per label ("Extension dictionary … Wrong type"): what was pasted dragged a reference from the source drawing along. It no longer travels, and a drawing carrying it is cleaned when saved.

The subscription includes the phone, and the licence dialog says so

• Since 14 September 2026 every subscription plan includes, on top of its computers, one more device only for an Android phone with the complete TopoMan CAD; the AutoCAD plugin plan too. The «Licence and device» dialog shows it by kind: «Covers 1 computer(s) and 1 Android phone(s). 2 of 2 devices in use» instead of «2 of 2 devices».
• When no more devices fit, the dialog says what applies to the one being linked: to a computer, how many computers the plan covers (the phone is separate); to a phone, how many slots it can use. And the list of which one to release only shows the devices that would actually make room.

OFFSET that works, Delete in the layer list and pasting with the layer on

• OFFSET now produces the parallel copy. Picking the side in empty space —which is how the side is picked— started a trim window and said “That stroke crosses nothing that can be trimmed”; it only worked when clicking almost on the line. And the preview of the parallel now shows with the mouse anywhere, not just next to the line. FILLET and CHAMFER pick with the same gesture and had the same defect.
• With one entity already selected, OFFSET does not ask for the object again: the distance and then the side directly.
• In Layer properties, Delete removes the highlighted layer —with the mouse over the window and if the layer is empty, same as the Delete button—. Over the drawing, Delete still erases what is selected.
• What is copied carries its layers as they look on screen. Turning on a layer that was off, copying its objects and pasting them into another drawing created them in a layer that was off —the bulb travelled as saved in the file— and the pasted objects could not be seen.

The Explorer thumbnail shows the drawing, not a dot

• A drawing with layers turned off —the cadastre background, the collector points— showed in the Windows preview and in «Recent» as an almost black box with the sheet tiny in the middle: what cannot be seen was framed too. The thumbnail now shows what was on screen when saving, as AutoCAD does, and if that view is not over the drawing, everything visible. Drawings already saved are fixed by saving them again.

The logo is blue again, and the program takes its brand colours

• The logo has a new design, in the blue and turquoise of topoman.net, and the change reaches everywhere: the program and window icon, the installer wizard, the Android icon —now on a navy background—, the web version's icon and the macOS and Linux ones.
• The program's accents drop the orange: the colour the ribbon icons use to mark "where the action points" and the colour of the contextual tabs —text editor, hatch— move to the logo's turquoise, and the blue of the active tab and links is the website's. Icons, program and web page now share one palette. What was orange because of what it means stays as it was: the hot grip under the cursor, the approximate location and the amber warnings. And the light bulb and the sun in the layer panel are yellow, their real colour.

Tools tab, with the unit converter

• A new tab after Output, Tools, for what does not touch the drawing. It opens with the unit converter from TopoMan Móvil, now inside the program, with one button per part: lengths, areas, the deed area —hectares, ares and centiares, with its equivalence in every other unit—, angles in DMS, decimal degrees or radians, and coordinates between latitude and longitude and the GEOREFERENCE systems. Each button opens a small dialog with just that part, and several can be open at once; it opens with or without a drawing, and every result has a copy button. Real and approximate manzanas share the symbol “mz”.
• Light theme and a choice of colour, in Settings → Interface: “Theme” —light, dark or automatic, which follows the system— and “Colour”, the brand's blue and turquoise or the orange the program was born with. Dark and the brand by default, as before. With the light one, the drawing area turns mid grey —not white— so that colour 7 in drawings stays legible, and the start screen has a light background of its own so its text reads well.
• Plug-ins move to Tools. The Plug-ins tab is gone and its button, now “Manage plug-ins”, goes to the end of the new tab; the panels each plug-in adds appear right there, after it. A plug-in is removed from that dialog: the “Remove plug-in” button each panel carried is gone.
• And custom units: define one by saying how much of another it equals —“1 chain = 21 varas”— and from then on it converts with every unit of its kind. They are saved on the computer, so they are there in every drawing.

New icons for the installer and the uninstaller

• The Windows installer and its uninstaller have new icons, and the uninstaller now shows its own inside the program folder too: until now unins000.exe showed the installer's icon there.
