CHANGES/ADDITIONS FROM PREVIOUS TO

LATEST VERSION

The development of Version 6 was prompted by providing Swift modelling that lives within a GIS model.

Version 6 features a fast native comprehensive intuitive graphical environment, similar to a GIS program but with the power of a CAD system, in which the system data can be entered, viewed and edited. Stands can be drawn in on a cadastral or bitmap background straight into the model which lives in the GIS environment. All GIS operations can be performed directly on the model, such as spatial correlation or advanced SQL based selection queries. In addition existing CAD representing stands can be converted to GIS and existing GIS entities can be imported into the Swift model.

An extensive reporting system has now been added which includes graphing of results.

Model tables are now fully spatially linked and do not live in row-limited spreadsheet tables. This means working with large models has become much easier.

Full support for internet-based maps such as Google Maps, Microsoft Bing, OpenStreetMap or Mapbox is now included.
