Now polyline objects support multifunctional options. The available functions (Stretch, Add Vertex, and Convert to Arc) can be seen by hovering over a grip.
Now the ability to snap points at certain distance more accurate has been improved through two new options: ‘Distance from Endpoint’ and ‘Divide Segments’.
The FILLET command now offers a new option called Invert. Invert Fillet has a very wide range of usage particularly in construction and furniture industry.
Layout space switching optimization reduces time considerably. Especially when switching layouts over twice is even much faster than before.
In this version you can take advantage of improved graphics that can display perfect curves in 2D wireframe visual style and they will be smooth at any zoom level.
The new dynamic input displays all options of a command and could select them in different methods. Users no longer need the command line either floated or docked, gaining more workspace to get wider viewing of the drawing.
Full DGN files and related commands such as DGNIMPORT, DGNATTACH, DGNADJUST, DGNMAPING, etc. are supported. Now you can import and attach as underlay a Microstation native format.
Polyline objects support multifunctional options. The available functions (Stretch, Add Vertex, and Convert to Arc) can be seen by hovering over a grip.
‘Distance from Endpoint’ and ‘Divide Segments’ options are added in Object Snap tab in Drafting Settings, the ability to snap points at certain distance more accurate has been improved, so you don’t need to waste time on useless object length calculation.
Invert Fillet has a very wide range of usage particularly in construction and furniture industry. The FILLET command now offers a new option called Invert. You can create a reverse fillet by this option.
GstarCAD 2016 focuses on layout space switching optimization, which reduces time considerably. Especially when switching layouts over twice is even much faster than before.
