DraftSight V1R3 rilasciato per Windows, Mac e Linux

Nuova versione per DraftSight, il CAD gratuito disponibile per Winwdows, Mac e Linux. 
DraftSight V1R3 va ad introdurre a correggere alcuni bug riscontrati nella versione precedente e ad aggiungere alcune nuove funzionalità. Migliorate anche le perfomance del programma che risulta consumare il 30% in meno rispetto alla versione V1R2.1 nell’apertura dei file.
Sotto il profilo Windows introduce il supporto a Windows 8.

Ma vediamo cosa c’è di nuovo

System requirements: they have been updated, refer to the FAQ.
Windows 8 Support: DraftSight V1R3 is supported on Windows 8 64-bit.
64 bit version: DraftSight has now introduced a 64-bit version for Windows.

  1. Users need to port their 32-bit add-ins to the 64-bit platform
    for the add-ins to work on 64-bit machines since V1R3 blocks 32-bit
    installations of DraftSight on 64-bit OS. (If you’re not sure if your
    version is 32-bit or 64-bit read this post: https://swym.3ds.com/#post:14677)
  2. Some signatures to the API were changed so C++ add-ins need to be recompiled using the new C++ SDK.

Deployment Wizard: The DraftSight Deployment
Wizard allows you, with a few easy steps, to create and define a
deployment image to broadcast DraftSight to all users in your network.
Align Viewport command: This feature adds new
functionality to the VIEWPORT command to align viewports by picking on
the geometry inside of a viewport. Users will be able to align viewports
horizontally and vertically by selecting on entities within each view
port. Objects snaps can be used for precise location.
Revision Cloud command: This
tool helps to highlight annotations and other objects.  There will be a
variety of shapes to choose from such as rectangular, elliptical and
freehand.
In-place TEXT Editor: DraftSight now supports an in-place text editor for note and simple note.
Explode text: Text can be exploded into editable entities using the EXPLODETEXT command.
Memory Improvement: Significant improvements in reducing the memory consumed when opening drawings. (Up to 30% less memory than V1R2.1.)
New functionalities for API’s: Major enhancements are the abilities to:

  • Access Tables
  • Access Viewports
  • Access entities that are members of a group of entities.
  • Access DraftSight system files
  • Receive notifications about command execution
  • Receive notifications when command options change
  • Receive notifications when objects are appended or detached, erased or restored, or modified in a document
  • Receive notifications before entities are selected
  • and many more….
