Significant New Features
New Attribute Editor, replacing the old vector search function. In addition to querying, this tool now allows for spreadsheet-style editing of feature attributes in a dockable window
Improved hillshade rendering with an interactive tool for dynamically positioning the light source using real time click and drag control
Drag and drop docking for 3D, Path Profile and Attribute Editor windows
Many new online data sources for the U.S. and Canada including many individual states and provinces
New option to limit the extent of terrain data displayed in the 3D Viewer based on the geographic extent of the 2D map
Several new built-in raster calculation functions including Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI) and Advanced Vegetation Index (AVI)
Scripting Changes
Script commands that take a source FILENAME now support multiple FILENAME parameters for the command to match multiple filename masks
Improved handling of local files when loading a moved workspace. Local files at or under the workspace folder will be preferred to explicit file paths in the original workspace folder

Saved workspaces now include shared LiDAR draw mode setting if LiDAR data is loaded and the LiDAR module active
New LIDAR_COMPARE script command for performing LiDAR to control point compare and adjust in a script
New LiDAR draw modes for coloring by the withheld, overlap, and model key point flags
New ability to filter LiDAR points (either selected or when performing operations like gridding) by the withheld, overlap, and key point status flags
New option in LiDAR import dialog to control whether or not withheld points are marked as deleted
New in v18.1
