GstarCAD 2019 optimized edition comes with new and improved features to shorten different tasks efficiently. In this version users are able to create, modify, and save workspaces at will, check spelling of a current mtext, flexibility for import layouts to a sheet set file, verify the real scale of viewports created on layout space, redefine inserted blocks from design center and more enhancements available.
The new WORKSPACE command allows to create, modify and save workspaces current. You can customize ribbon or classic workspace to suit interface environment needs much easier.
With the new SELECTION CYCLING system variable you can quickly select overlapped or coincident objects in current drawing as well as set more options for selecting objects.
Now design center offers a quick way to update instances of block. Redefining a block allows you to overwrite each block instance without changing the block name, all while keeping the original block’s position. Alternatively, if you just copy a newer version of a block into your active drawing, the block will not update – it will instead inherent the active drawing’s block definition. By redefining a block, there is no need for deleting, purging, and copying.
Now Mtext supports check spelling that determines whether as you type spell checking is on or off. If you are typing a wrong word it will show a red line under the text. In addition, you can correct a word easily by selecting an alternate word from the suggestions list or type a word in the suggestions box.
Now you can 'import' additional drawing layouts into your sheet set file using the Sheet Set Manager. When import layouts as sheets you are creating a new pointer to an existing drawing.
The new VPSCALE command reports the real scale of the current viewport of a selected layout viewport through the command line.
Using the right-click + drag method, you can select an object, then hold down the right mouse button and move to a different location, then release the right mouse button and select from the popup context menu different options like Move, Copy, Paste as Block.
Within the option dialog box, under “Users Preferences” tab, you can find the new “Hidden Message Settings” option that controls the display of previously hidden messages. After a message has been hidden, it can be viewed and re-activated.
The new MOVEBAK system variable changes the destination folder for drawing backup (BAK) files. Once you specify a path, the drawing’s BAK files is placed in that path after every save operation.
The new MKSHAPE command creates a shape definition based on selected objects.You can create custom linetypes easily. If you create a shape that exceeds 2200 bytes of data, MKSHAPE creates complex geometry shapes to form a single shape.
