Version 11.1.6 - 18/10/2010 New
DYNAMIC INPUT and DYNAMIC DIMENSIONS:
DYNMODE variable: controls whether dynamic dimensions are available while creating/editing entities.
DYNMODE can be switched ON/OFF using the new DYNMODE button on the status bar.
DYNDIVIS variable: specifies how many dynamic dimensions are displayed simultaneously.
DYNDIGRIP variable: specifies which dynamic dimension types are displayed.
DynDimColorHover setting: specifies the color of dynamic dimensions when hovering over a grip point.
DynDimColorHot setting: specifies the color of dynamic dimensions when moving grip points.
DynDimLineType setting: specifies the line type of dynamic dimensions when moving grip points.
DynDimDistance setting: specifies a factor for the distance between the dynamic dimensions line and the grip points being dimensioned.
DYNAMIC BLOCKS: insertion of dynamic blocks and modification of properties through the properties bar have been implemented, so existing dynamic block libraries can be leveraged.
PDF UNDERLAY
PDFATTACH command: allows to attach PDF files similar to image files and reference files.
PDFLAYERS command: allows to control the display of layers in a PDF underlay.
PDFOSNAP setting enables/disables snapping to geometry contained in a PDF underlay.
PDFCLIP allows clipping PDF files similar to reference files
LAYER PREVIEW: the content of layers, selected in the Drawing Explorer, is displayed in the Layer's preview pane. (according to the currently active viewport). To disable layer preview, simply close the preview pane. This will only affect the Layer explorer preview pane, the preview pane in the other Explorer windows will remain available, each category of explored items stores its own pane layout.
SELECTIONAREA, WINDOWAREACOLOR, CROSSINGAREACOLOR and SELECTIONAREAOPACITY variables control whether, and how, the selection area is visualized.
MIDPOINT SNAP: the MTP (midpoint-between-two-points) command modifier can be used at any Command prompt to locate a point by keying in MTP or M2P.
PARALLEL SNAP: constrains a line, polyline segment, ray or xline to be parallel to another linear entity.
PARALLEL command: toggles the parallel snap setting.
PERFORMANCE:
CACHELAYOUT setting: controls whether the content of layouts is cached, making layout switching up to 10 times faster. Caching requires extra memory, but while implementing the cache mechanism we could reduce the memory needed to display entities. The net result is that the memory needed to display drawings has been reduced, even when layout caching is activated.
INCREASED MEMORY LIMIT: until V10 the limit of the amount of memory that could be used by Bricscad was around 1.6 GB. In V11 this limit has been increased to 4 GB on 64 bit systems and 3 GB on 32 bit systems. On 32 bit systems additional manual changes to the boot process are required.
32 bit XP: set /3GB flag in boot.ini. It is recommended to back up your boot.ini beforehand.
32 bit Vista/Windows7: on windows commandline run 'bcdedit /set increaseuserva nnnn', nnnn being a number between 2048 and 3072. The default value is 2048, to allow for 3 GB set it to 3072.
HPSEPARATE: the hatch dialog now offers the possibility to create separate hatches when clicking subsequent points to detect and create hatch boundaries.
MTEXT: added support for background masks.
GEOGRAPHICLOCATION command and LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, NORTHDIRECTION and TIMEZONE variables: allow to set the geographic location of a drawing.
CREATEVIEWPORTS variable: controls if a new viewport is created for newly created layouts.
RENDERING (Pro license only):
Based on the Redway3d rendering engine (www.redway3d.com). By default the rendering engine will try to leverage the hardware on the graphics card. If experiencing problems, please switch off the setting RenderUsingHardware. It is recommended to install the most recent drivers for your graphics card.
RENDER command: renders the current view. By default the rendered display is overwritten by the next redraw of the display. When switching to Permanent rendered mode, every subsequent redraw of the display will produce a rendered image. Rendered views can be saved to file at any desired resolution.
LIGHT, SPOTLIGHT, POINTLIGHT, WEBLIGHT, DISTANTLIGHT, LIGHTINGUNITS commands allow to create and set various light types.
A light list was added to the Drawing Explorer, it offers a quick way to switch lights ON/OFF, or to select lights in the drawing (e.g. distant lights have no graphical representation...).
MATERIALS command: opens the Materials Explorer which allows to create and modify rendering material definitions.
TextureMapPath setting: allows easy switching between using render textures of low/medium/high resolution.
Materials can be assigned using the Layer Explorer and/or the Properties Bar.
ACIS: upgraded to ACIS R19 modeler libraries.
ImprovedPDF export: major performance improvement for gradient hatches.
PDF export: size of exported files has been reduced by activating the 'deflate' option.
PROPERTIES BAR: remembers collapsed status of categories.
BACKGROUND: default background color was set to white (index color 7), several color settings have been adapted to work more comfortably both with white and black backgrounds.
SR22000, SR25260 - HATCH BOUNDARY DETECTION: developed new numerical intersector, providing robust handling of special cases such as tangent intersections, and cases where spline curves almost completely overlap with other curve types like e.g. arcs.
SR23583 - DIMENSIONS: improved dimensioning of 3D solids.
SR24364 - PRINT PREVIEW: added zoom combo-box in print preview window. Its list contains some predefined values from 10% to 500%, its edit box accepts arbitrary integers within this range and is updated on mouse wheel/middle button zooming.
SR25804 - PROPERTIES BAR: added AREA info for 2d polyline.
MOUSE BUTTON CUSTOMIZATION:
Section MouseButtonRoot in the CUI file allows to override the right button click action, the middle button click action, and the mouse buttons with modifiers Ctrl and Shift.
Section DoubleClickRoot in the CUI file allows to override the double click action on an entity.
There is no user interface yet for these sections, but when these sections exist in the CUI file, they will be applied.
