Official version history and changelog information for Surfer Beta (2021).

Surfer Beta 22.0.111 (July 6, 2021)

New features and Improvements:

  • Drillhole data: Specify vertical well with checkbox (no directional data)
  • Drillhole layer: select multiple drillholes in the plot view
  • New Drillhole Layer: update so more obvious how to load new data

Fixes:

  • 3D View: Drillholes: still displayed when turned off in 2D view
  • Alpha shape: All points in data file: destination layer shows base(vector) layer if points are selected
  • Alpha shape: All points in data file: New Layer is available when post layer exists, but doesn't give you an option which map to add it to
  • Alpha shape: Can't create from 'Selected points only' if there are non-point objects in the layer
  • Alpha shape: clicking OK acts like Cancel
  • Alpha shape: doesn't recover if select wrong columns from input data file
  • Alpha shape: if you create pgon and delete it, it's recreated if you try again with a bad alpha value
  • Crash in Alpha Shape dialog when switching between loaded data (Wks2dmu_dll+76406)
  • Crash opening file with drillholes saved back to Surfer version 15 SRF
  • Crash when loading LiDAR LAS as Drillhole
  • Drillhole data import: Add Field does not have a column header
  • Drillhole data import: do not allow Next/Finish if required fields aren't filled out
  • Drillhole data import: Have to click '< Back' twice on second page to get to first page
  • Drillhole data import: Units aren't being utilized or converted
  • Drillhole layer: copy/paste doesn't show the drillholes
  • Drillhole layer: Deviation line: vector lines look solid (missing spaces between dashes)
  • Drillhole layer: does not geotransform
  • Drillhole layer: limits don't update after displaying paths
  • Drillhole layer: new drillholes are displayed outside of map limits
  • Drillhole layer: selection handles include deviation path after turning it off (have to move map)
  • Drillhole layer: Undo does not restore symbol previous symbol size
  • Drillhole layer: Undo symbol method from Fixed to By collar recreates an empty symbology
  • Drillhole legend: empty legend created and deletes itself checking a property (resulting in potential crashes)
  • Drillhole legend: undo symbology creates empty legend
  • Drillhole Manager: reloading data adds/removes data
  • Drillhole Manager: when all wells are filtered out, still be able to open manager
  • Internal Error when export from 3D View (TrPolymesh.cpp)

Surfer Beta 22.0.68 (May 5, 2021)

New features and Improvements:

  • New Layer Type: 2D Drillhole layer shows drillhole locations, deviation paths and bottom hole location
  • 3D View: display drillhole layers in the 3D view to show trajectories, paths, interval data, point data, and labels/leader lines
  • Drillhole Manager stores and displays all the drillhole data
  • 3D View: Create a true 3D sphere symbol
  • Alpha shape: create a tight boundary around data points (e.g. convex or concave hull) where you control the amount of tightness in geoprocessing, Grid Data and Grid from Contours
  • Grid Math and Grid Volume: calculations can use grids that have different sizes (different numbers of rows and columns)
  • Grid Math: apply math to XY values, not row column location so the calculations work on grids offset from each other or in different coordinate systems
  • Grids: easily create isopach maps (true stratigraphic thickness) or isochore maps (true vertical thickness)

Fixes:

  • 3D View: VRML Export: surface artifacts exist and blanked/NoData areas not removed
  • Axes: Automatic Scaling should not default to something that gives you an error
  • Axis Grid Lines: minor grid lines don't show up before first major tick
  • Base from Data: doesn't import coordinate system information for data (e.g. from GSR2, PRJ)
  • Base layer: Coordinates: when you move a polygon into base layer, the tracker isn't visible
  • Convert Layer: converting to 3D surface creates empty map
  • Coordinates Page marker tracker incorrect after moving shape within a Base Map
  • Coordinates Page vertices do not update when moving shapes within a Group within a Base Map
  • Crash after closing when displaying drop-down from Properties control
  • Crash after pasting contour layer into base layer
  • Crash in notifications when NotificationStatuses.txt has been altered
  • Crash reports: thousands of ZIPs in Temp were created when report cannot be sent (connection issue, etc.)
  • Crash when drawing filled contours after undo Break Apart
  • Crash when Grid Data - Variogram after minimizing window
  • Crash when Undo
  • Endless Internal Error setting map scaling to 'inf' (axis.cpp, line 133)
  • Export KML/KMZ: object IDs for point objects are not exported
  • GPX Import Filter wasn't reading the elevation data
  • Internal Error after closing a window (gscatch.cpp)
  • Internal Error after creating 3D view (memorymappedcache.cpp)
  • Internal Error after grouping/ungrouping objects (Scenelist.cpp)
  • Internal Error when adding a profile over Z values with high number of sig digs (usertransform.cpp)
  • Internal Error when converting a 2-grid vector to a 3D wireframe or 3D surface (iogrid.cpp)
  • Internal Error when expanding Map and then delete (polygonnode.cpp)
  • Internal Error when gridding data with Kriging (polarvariosurface.cpp)
  • Internal Error when importing file with '%' character in filename
  • Internal Error when opening a Surfer 7 SRF file with filled contours that have bad header info (contourfill.cpp)
  • Internal Error when reshaping a polygon (reshapetool.cpp)
  • Internal Error when Undo Order Change or Undo Delete (scenelist.cpp)
  • Internal Error when undoing group with color scale after breaking apart layer (scenelist.cpp)
  • Internal Error when undoing group, ungroup and reshape (gscatch.cpp)
  • Internal Error with Grid Data using Kriging (kriginggridder.cpp)
  • Internal Error: Grid Data: when loading settings for pages that don't use the settings
  • KMZ import: File is stretched/wrong limits after import
  • Objects are not grouping when the Attribute Table is open
  • Open Grids: item added for each time you click on an open grid

Fixes:

  • 3D View: VRML Export: surface artifacts existed and blanked/NoData areas were not removed
  • Crash after pasting contour layer into base layer
  • Pasting text from one base to another twice results in large bounding box and no text
  • 3D View: performance improvements so it is faster
  • Axes: error opening SRF file which opened without error in previous versions
  • Crash in worksheet after getting Invalid row number error
  • Crash when using map wizard
  • Error: encountered an improper argument saving to default Temp folder
  • Error: encountered an improper argument when editing grid from internal storage

  • Internal Error when pressing left arrow key (scenenodetreectl.cpp)
  • Internal Error when saving a grid with 1-grid node dimension (iogrid.cpp)
  • Notifications: message text is too small to read on high resolution monitors
  • Notifications: users often see "error occurred when we tried to download the latest notifications"
  • Save: improve the save process for SRF files to not rely on the Temp folder when resaving
