Multiline Text Editor

With the brand new in-place WYSIWYG multiline text editor you can create and edit multi-line text in the drawing itself instead of separate editing window. As a result you can now adjust the width of the text box or the font size the as you create or edit the text and see the effect in your drawing.

Quick Select

Using Quick Select you can specify filters, such as entity type, color, linetype or any other entity property, to compose a selection set. After composing the filter criteria you can choose to add the matching entities to a new selection set, add the entities to the current selection set or remove them from the current selection. Quick Select applies to the entire drawing or to a previously created selection.

Wipe Out

A wipeout is a polygonal area that hides the underlying objects using the current background color. Most commonly wipeouts are used to mask part of a drawing for clarity. For example, you may want to add text to a complicated part of a drawing. A wipeout could be used then to mask an area behind the text increase the readability of the text.

Drawing Explorer with Layer States

Layer states let you save and restore configurations of layer properties and states. You might want a layer to display in blue sometimes and green at other times, or you need some layers to be off or frozen or locked when editing a specific part of a drawing. After spending a lot of time adjusting all layer settings you can use layer states to save your settings. You can save multiple layer states in a each drawing.

Settings Manager

In the Settings Dialog you can check or modify the current value of all settings. The settings can be viewed alphabetically or categorized, grouping related settings in a tree view. The built-in search feature lets you find settings quickly and intuitively. For each setting you get a short description, whether the setting is global or drawing specific and, if possible, a graphical preview.
