Object Styles
You can apply and make your own styles for objects such as text, dimension, point and multiline objects regarding to your drawing requirements.
Documentation
Multiline Style Creation and Edit
Multiline style allows you to create, modify, save and loads multiline styles. You also can edit multiline intersections, breaks, and vertices according to your design.
Documentation
Multileaders

Revision Cloud
Revision clouds are polylines that consist of sequential arcs. You can use it to call attention to parts of a drawing during the review stage. You can select a style for a revision cloud: Normal or Calligraphy. If you select Calligraphy, the revision cloud looks as if it was drawn with a calligraphy pen.
Documentation
Hatch and Superhatch
Hatch allows quickly fill an enclosed area or selected objects with a hatch pattern, solid fill, or gradient fill. And superhatch offers more filling pattern options for get a more realistic drawing representation.
Documentation
Raster Images
Raster images, like many other drawing objects, can be copied, moved, or clipped. You can modify an image with grip modes, adjust an image for contrast, clip the image with a rectangle or polygon, or use an image as a cutting edge for a trim.
Documentation
Dynamic Block and Dynamic Block Editor
Dynamic Blocks saves time and standardize drawings with ease, you no longer have to redraw repetitive standard components, and you can reduce your cumbersome block libraries in the process. What’s more, you can create and modify dynamic blocks properties in the dynamic block editor.
Documentation
Block Attribute Manager
Block attribute manager allows you to edit the attribute definitions in blocks, remove attributes from blocks, and change the order in which you are prompted for attribute values when inserting a block.
Documentation
Drawing Compare
Drawing compare is an exclusive function that allows compare two drawings, and display the results of the comparison by different colors. Drawing compare support a range of trackable items like styles and block attributes to get accurate comparison.
Documentation
Express Tools
Express Tools contain a library of productivity tools designed to help you extend the power of your design. They are easy to use, easily integrated into your menus and toolbars, and cover a wide range of functions, including dimensioning, drawing, and selecting and modifying objects.

Digitizer Integration
GstarCAD has built-in a digitizer tablet command-driver. Users can execute TABLET command to setup a digitizer tablet. Users can take advantage to select commands much faster from the tablet menu as opposed to selecting them in the software. Digitizers are great time-savers when entering data into estimating and cad programs.
Documentation
Leader

Documentation
Text and Mtext
You can create several paragraphs of text as a single multiline text (Mtext) object. With the built-in editor, you can format the text appearance, columns, and boundaries.
User Interaction
Annotation Scaling
GstarCAD 2015 has added annotative scale and some related settings to objects, spaces and viewports.
The annotative object, such as text, dimension, block or hatch, could automatically adjust its size when changing the annotative scales
in spaces and viewports. Users could arrangeand plot drawings for different scales in a faster way.
User Interaction
Sheet Set Manager
Managing large sets of drawings manually can be complicated and time consuming.
With the Sheet Set Manager, you can manage drawings as sheet sets plus manage and edit data,
automate drawing set up, provide easy access to department drawings, simplify publishing/printing
of the entire design set (or any part thereof).
