June 8th, 2007· Work with DWG 2007 files
· BtoCAD supports opening, modifying, printing, and saving drawings in DWG 2007 format. The DWG 2007 format is now the default format in which BtoCAD drawings are saved.
· Create and edit color books
· Now you can create and edit color books, which help you organize collections of colors, right from BtoCAD.
· Use new layout viewport features
There are several new features for layout viewports:
· Lock layout viewports to lock the model space view or location while panning or zooming in paper space.
· Clip layout viewports to display only the viewport contents within the clipping boundary.
· Assign a unique UCS to a layout viewport.
· Set text language
· If you work with text written in a language other than your operating system language, you can select that language in BtoCAD so you can view and work with the text.
· Reverse the zoom direction of the mouse wheel
· Instead of zooming in and out moving the mouse wheel forward and backward, you can reverse the settings to zoom in when spinning the mouse wheel backward and zoom out when spinning the wheel forward. This can be especially helpful if you use the mouse with your left hand.
· Use new and enhanced system variables
· New system variables include: DIMARCSYM, IMAGEHLT, RASTERVERNUM, RTDISPLAY, and ZOOMWHEEL.
· Enhanced system variables include: DELOBJ, FACETRATIO, HALOGAP, HIDEPRECISION, OBSCUREDCOLOR, OBSCUREDLTYPE, OLEQUALITY, and TEXTEVAL.
· There are many new system variables that are supported for AutoCAD compatibility only.
