CSDP-Pro for Windows is the fifth generation of CSDP applications software. Two of the most important features in this new generation are about Plan mode, and also automatic design of longitudinal project line.
The plan mode in CSDP-Pro has changed entirely in such a way that drawing and editing in this mode now is similar to CSDPMAP, or AutoCAD. In this regard some of the capabilities of CSDPMAP for Windows application regarding CAD drafting has brought into CSDP-Pro plan mode.
Among these capabilities three of the most important ones are:
- Drawing commands by mouse-key combination along with simultaneous displaying of drawn objects
- Editing commands by mouse-key combination along with simultaneous displaying of drawn objects
- Using objects snaps effectively in drawing and editing command and also filtering tools for x and y coordinates
One the most important features in CSDP-Pro is the capability to design the project line for different kinds of roads and railway automatically.
In this regard, based on the specified parameters such as minimum and maximum slope (grade), minimum radius of vertical arcs, minimum elevation difference for considering bridge or tunnel, etc. and also ground shape, CSDP- Pro checks different alternatives for finding the routes with lowest costs and present them as best designed routes.
In this regard, many reports are generated to compare and check the results of automatic project line designing.
