342 Topcon Positioning Group has updated the MAGNET suite of software solutions to ensure customers have the most up-to-date information available.

MAGNET v3.0 includes several new and enhanced features designed to increase interconnectivity and productivity. Among the improvements are user notifications that new data is available, said Ronald Verheijen, Topcon manager of product support.

Previous versions required customers to seek out the updates, Verheijen said. “With the new version, it will notify you there is data available,” he said. “This will help make sure customers have the most up-to-date information.”

The updated system includes improvements for users at every level within the software suite, said David Ahl, director of software product management.

“Data exchange is more fluid than ever before between the office and the field with the addition of Topcon eXchange for CAD,” he said. “Now users can take advantage of seamless data transfer of 685 Autodesk solutions to Topcon solutions without additional file conversion steps.”

MAGNET v3.0 also offers customization options built to allow operators to save their most commonly-used functions to improve efficiency. It includes new project management functionalities such as redlines, schedules and tasks, and timecards.

MAGNET users that are currently covered with their software maintenance period are eligible to update to version 3.0 immediately.
