Here's a summary listing of What's New in The Jump 4 2011 products.

The Higher Standard to Build On

The Jump 4 2011 Release of products is 
National CAD Standard 4.0 compliant and More

Many of the included changes also reflect the changes made in the Jump 4 2010 NCS 4.0 release of products. Upgrades of drawings and entire projects from any Jump 4 2010 release product to Jump 4 2011 product in the futures will be hassle free.

Upgrade Existing Work

Upgrades of drawings and entire projects from the Jump for 2010 and Autodesk California Country Kit (Content Pack) product to this NCS 4.0 compliant release should be simple and reasonably hassle free. Minor script files need to be run to conform and upgrade files produced in a previous release to this release. 

Current Jump Station and Jump Start Service customers will be able to download these script file resources on product release with new product downloads.

Free Jump 2010 customers may manually use RENAME and LAYER to  make the changes or upgrade to Jump Station 2011 or InstantOn Basic 4 2011.

Our Free Jump 4 2011 product differs from the previous Free Jump releases. 

How is The Jump 4 2010 release and Jump 4 2011 related?

Our simultaneous Jump 4 2010 products release is also NCS 4.0 compliant.

ByDesign the Jump 4 2011 products release supplies Jump Platform foundational support for future multiple International, US State DOT, and other "standards".
In other words, if you need to convert (publish) drawings and projects created in one "standard" format to another "standard" format that task will be substantially easier and require substantial fewer man-hours from any Jump products produced in either NCS 4.0 release.

We accomplish this by employing our Symbol Set technology delivered in specific Jump Kit Standard products and maitained and managed in our Platform product - Jump Station.

We produced a "backwards" compatable Jump 4 2010 release so customers may continue to confidently employ AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 to complete and maintain current projects.

Customers may also upgrade from any Jump 2010 products to Jump 4 2011 directly without major issues.
