New Drawing
Wizards ModelCAD 3000 allows you to define standard title blocks and borders for easy insertion into a blank drawing, or make your own blank drawing sheet by specifying drawing units and unit width of the screen. Other standard values such as print margins and large and small cursor step can be saved as defaults.
-
New Double-Line Command
Double-lines can now be created in the program to a specified offset while drawing, removing the need for paralleling them later as a separate step. Lines can capped at the start, finish, or at both ends of the line. Additionally the right, left, or center of the double line can be aligned to the cursor's position while drawing. You can also decide to have filled or hollow double-lines when placing them on the drawing. Double lines that cross each other will even Auto-trim, cleaning up the intersection of two double-lines seamlessly.
