KML Support
Incorporate Keyhole Markup Language (KML/KMZ) geographic data into your plans and streamline your workflow by getting access to content created in Google Earth and similar KML-based systems.

RapidPath 3.9
Predefined Styles improvements
Predefined object styles can now automatically adjust scaled properties to the current plan scale. This lets you use on-site units to specify values for properties like road lane width or delineator spacing and use such styles to draw objects with the correct dimensions on plans at different scales.
Additionally, individual styles can now be added to the Scratchpad for quick access and it's much easier to create custom style icons.
Print Regions List
A dockable panel listing all Print Regions on the current plan allows accessing, editing and printing them without having to manually scroll the plan canvas.
Plan Location tools
Right click on any location while drawing a base map plan and use the location coordinates to look it up in a number of external services including Google Maps and Street View.
