GstarCAD 2018 supports the latest DWG 2018 format. Open, edit, and save drawings to the latest DWG version together with more compatible features. GstarCAD 2018 keeps a great running speed and stability with significant optimization and improvement in operating performance while consuming much less memory compared to any other competitive software especially when handling big drawings. New array options are available to create copies of objects arranged in RECTANGULAR, POLAR, or PATH pattern. Section Plane command creates a section object that acts as a cutting plane through solids, surfaces, or regions. If you turn on live sectioning and move the section object throughout the 3D model in model space, you can reveal inner details in real-time. Plot Options Enhancement Plot with transparency and Shade Plot options are implemented into plot dialog box to improve 2D or 3D drawing printing quality. Display Plot Styles Enhancement The Page Setup manager for layout supports the Display Plot Styles option. You can assign different plot style tables to each layout in your drawings. M2LVPORT command creates a viewport on layout space by specifying an area in the model space. It calculates the viewport size according to the set ratio and locates the viewport in layout space. Attribute Increment command helps to specify attribute of blocks with incremental value, and to modify attribute value of blocks according to the sort method.
What is new in version 2017:
1. New and Enhanced Functionalities: Table: create, export or edit a table conveniently, compatible with AutoCAD. Transparency: apply to gradient, hatch, or layer objects for better drawing visualization. Flatshot: 2D representation for 3D objects. Refedit Enhancement: directly edit an xref or a block definition. Wipeout Enhancement: support circle and complex polyline options to be used as a wipeout object. Mirror Enhancement: pick start and end point to define mirror axis or directly select objects as mirror axis. 2. More Innovative Tools: Symmetric Draw: draw symmetrical shapes directly instead of getting another symmetric half by copy or mirror. Outline: extract intersected objects as a polyline shape. Break Object: trim or break intersected objects with gap distance in four different modes. Block Break: wipeout or break an object overlapped by a reference block. Graphic Compare: make comparisons between two similar drawings and show the results.
