Amine 2.7.4 introduces support for the .DMX file format, new batch processing tools for survey imports, and enhancements across layout, drill and blast, database configuration, and usability, alongside a wide range of targeted defect fixes.
You can now read and write .DMX files throughout Amine, with all relevant interfaces updated to handle the new format. File handling dialogs include clear options for saving in either .DM or .DMX, and modules such as DDHImport, ProductionModelling, SurveyImport, and ConfigDB_CS have been extended accordingly. This update broadens compatibility and streamlines workflows where .DMX files are required.
The Survey Import module sees major upgrades with the addition of the SRVIMP_Batch command for batch processing, as well as workflow refinements such as multi-job selection, duplicate detection, automatic job insertion options, and smarter file path recall. Improvements also ensure accurate job numbering, even for filenames with spaces, and increase the supported length of job numbers. These changes reduce repetitive tasks and help you manage large sets of survey data more efficiently.
Additional tools include the new Lay_CurvePt command in the Layout Tools, which enables you to curve any 3D polyline vertex with a point-based approach. The Amine CUI now features tooltips and quick access buttons for several popular commands, including Lay_CurvePt, GATTE, and 3DP Line Styles. Drill and Blast workflows benefit from updates to the ABLS_VRemDrill command, which now remembers user display preferences for remote drilling lines, while the Amine_3DPLineStyles tool retains its ON/OFF state between sessions.
This release also resolves several critical defects, improving the reliability of features such as annotation display, section flipping, drill and blast setup values, compliance window layering, and clipping behaviour. Core stability issues—such as layer addition errors, cleaning tool hangs, and command failures with specific mesh types—have been thoroughly addressed. These fixes, alongside usability improvements like improved layer log visibility and DB Config panel behaviour, ensure a smoother, more predictable experience across Amine.
