Design, share and visualize your CAD drawing is better with GstarCAD 2018. Best-ever core performance, best-ever features and best-ever innovations are what this CAD platform offers.
New array options are available to create copies of objects arranged in RECTANGULAR, POLAR, or PATH pattern. The new array object is a whole (dynamic block). It can be dynamically adjusted by number of objects, spacing and other related parameters through Ribbon panel and Multifunctional Grips.
New CLIP command clips a block, external reference, image, viewport, and underlay (PDF or DGN) to a specified boundary. It can be used to replace XCLIP, IMAGECLIP, VPCLIP, PDFCLIP, DGNCLIP commands.
Convert one or a bunch of selected drawing files to another DWG version available. The newly generated file can overwrite the original file, and it can also be compressed into a self-extracting EXE file or a ZIP file to facilitate batch format conversion of the entire project drawing.
Create a section object that acts as a cutting plane through 3D objects and saves the selected section plane as a 2D or 3D block. You can move the section object dynamically in a 3D model or in a surface area. You can use the active section to analysis model by moving the section object in the object. Create cross-sectional views that can be saved or reused.
Set the display order of all the fill patterns to back position from all other objects.
Create a new object of the same type and properties as selected object but with different geometric values.
Execute a command repetitively, avoiding press enter or space bar key.
Change the property of the selected objects to ByLayer including color, linetype, lineweight, and materials.
When entering a command at the command line, a list of related commands and variables are displayed for easy recognition and selection. In the status bar, when right clicking the polar track, the object snap and object track button will display a menu with related setting options.
Control the time to issue a new layer notice, layer behavior when isolating certain layers, whether to apply a layer filter to the Layers toolbar and the background color of the viewport in the Layer Property Manager, etc.
Improve 2D/3D drawing printing quality via Plot with transparency and Shade Plot options. “Default Windows System Printer” is supported to use the default plot driver on any machine.
You can set the page settings in layout space so that the plot style can be displayed directly , and then you can preview the plotting color and linewidth in layout.
