Going from Civil Drawing to Trimble Drawing

With the release of Novapoint 2023.4 we also changed the name of Civil Drawing to Trimble Drawing.

The latest release of Civil Drawing 2023 was version 4520.

The first version of Trimble Drawing 2023 is also version 4520, and so it has no other changes than the name and logo change.


NOTE: If you have not used Novapoint with Civil Drawing before, you don't need to read this page, just install Novapoint 2023.4 TDr and Trimble Drawing and start working.

Installation and first startup procedures

Installing Novapoint 2023.4 TDr

Novapoint 2023.4 TDr is a version compatible with Trimble Drawing 2023. In the installation process you will notice that it first uninstalls your Novapoint 2023.x CDr (compatible with Civil Drawing 2023), before making the new installation of Novapoint 2023.4 (TDr).

Since we have to install everything from scratch you will notice that the installation is a full installation of just under 2GB.
