Improved AutoCAD® DWG/DXF Compatibility
Read and write AutoCAD files through version 2008 - and enjoy improved compatibility with AutoCAD layouts and PaperSpace, plus expanded support for AutoCAD Layers and Blocks in both DXF and DWG file formats. Supports import and export of more than 20 CAD and graphics file formats.
Imports and exports the following vector data formats:
• DWG
• DXF
• WMF
• HPGL
In addition, DesignCAD imports XYZ data as lines, curves, or points. It can also export RIB, VRML, WPG, and PDF files.
DesignCAD can also read and save the following image file formats:
• JPG • BMP • TAG
• EPS • TGA • PCX
• PNG • PSD • WMF
• WPG • AWD • TIFF (non-LZW compressed only)
3D Visualization Improvements
NEW! Procedural Textures - DesignCAD offers several versatile new procedural material textures that can enhance the realism and variety of your rendered drawings. You may apply several different types of noise textures to produce woodgrains, stone-like textures, composite chipped materials, marble layers, bricks, and other effects. Up to four different texture patterns may be combined in the same material.
NEW! Associative Dimensions
Associative dimensions will automatically update as you change the size of the object they are assoicated with. For example, if a radial dimension is associated with a circle, when you change the radius of the circle using the Info Box, the associated radial dimension is automatically updated to match the new radius.
NEW! Automatic Reformating of Dimension Text
Now when you reposition the location of dimension text, the dimension arrows redraw themselves automatically to accommodate the new text position.
NEW! Auto-Flow Dimension Text
As you set points for the dimension, the text and arrows are automatically placed inside or outside the leader lines, depending on where they will best fit.
Improved Info Box
The Info Box now has a "Rollout" style. When the cursor is hovered over the "Info Box" tab on the right edge of the drawing frame, the Info Box will roll out to display the details of any selected object. If nothing is selected the Info Box remains closed. The Info Box can also be pinned into a permanently-open condition. This may be handy when you wish to examine and possibly edit several entities in rapid succession.
NEW! Grouping Tools Icons
The Grouping commands have been added to the Drawing Toolbox as graphical icons.
NEW! User Notes
The Drawing Information dialog box now has a User Notes panel that lets you enter text information that may be of interest but need not be displayed visually as part of the drawing.
NEW! Print Scale Options & IMPROVED PaperSpace
Commonly used printing scales are now available from a droplist within the Print dialog box. Of course, you may still specify a custom print scale if so desired. These preset scales may also be selected in Paperspace viewframes.
NEW! Smart Menus
DesignCAD now offers smart menus like those found in Microsoft Office. Initially presented with a shortened list of available menu commands, to help reduce screen clutter, the menu can be expanded to show all items by clicking on the double arrows at the bottom of the menu. This option can be enabled or disabled depending on the user's preference.
NEW! Save for Sharing
When you save a drawing, all files referenced externally (textures, symbols reference, images reference ) are saved to a subfolder with the host drawing’s name.
NEW! Hatch Command Enhancements
The Hatch command offers a couple of new enhancements:
• Gradient fills with muliple keyed colors.
• Use of images as tileable fill patterns.
NEW! Walkthrough Interface
The Walkthrough interface has been updated, making it easier to set camera and target locations for each step of the walkthrough.
NEW! Animation Controls
The Animation interface has been enhanced, enabling greater keyframe control on a per-entity basis using the Info Box. Keyframes can be added or removed via the Info Box, and each keyframes transformations can be examined in detail and modified at need.
NEW! Show Center Marks
Show Center Marks displays a pointmark at the centers of all circles, arcs, and ellipses. The type and size of the center mark can be set globally.
Improved Shadows
Shadows can now be anti-aliased for a smoother appearance.
