New in CADopia Standard 17.1.1.2607 (Jun 14, 2017)
- CADopia 17 adds extensive new functionality to make CADopia a more versatile CAD software for creating, editing and viewing professional drawings in a production environment.
- The new functionality introduced in CADopia 17 range from productivity and efficiency features such as multi-functional grips, pattern along a path, automatic creation of center lines to ease of use tools such as Power Trim and dynamic print preview.
- Advanced PDF to DWG conversion:
- Advanced functionality allows you to derive more information from the PDF drawings. CADopia 2017 now offers you the option to recover the layer information and names when converting a PDF drawing into a .DWG format vector drawing. It also allows you to maintain the LineStyle and LineWeight of converted entities.
- Pattern Along Any Path:
- Create an array of entities along a specified path. Create multiple copies of a selected entity along a path defined by another entity. The previous functionality limited this path to lines, arcs or circles only, now it has been extended to include line, arc, circle, ellipse, polyine or spline. The entities created can be perpendicular to the path or can be drawn at a specified angle.
- Multifunctional Grips:
- Now the popular grip editing feature gives you more editing options. Hover over entity grip points and you will see new shortcut menus offering editing features that are context sensitive. Now, you can insert a vertex in a polyline or spline, convert an arc into a polyline change the radius of an arc and more. This is in addition to the existing functionality of the grip points in CADopia 16 and earlier versions.
- Center Lines:
- Insert Centerlines between pairs of lines, concentric arc and polyline segments. This popular feature is now supported in CADopia 17. The CENTERLINE command enables you to automatically draw a line at equidistance of the pair of entities you selected. The CENTER linestyle is be assigned by default to the Center line created. This command also applies to sets of circles and polylines for which you need to create the center line.
- Trim and PowerTrim in Hatches and Gradients:
- Now, the power of the PowerTrim feature is available for hatches and gradients. POWERTRIM is a productivity feature that was first introduced in CADopia 16 to trim or extend entities quickly and easily. Now the same functionality has been extended for editing hatches and gradients. Of course, the edited hatches and gradients maintain associativity.
- Polylines Editing Improvements:
- Some of the past limitations of polyline editing have now been addressed. Now, you can add additional vertices, convert a segment from line to an arc and vice-versa.
- New options in the command EDITPOLYLINE ensures increased productivity in the editing of polylines. You may convert an arc segment into a line and vice-versa, you may also add a vertex to the midpoint of a segment and change its position. Other new options include Taper and Reverse.
- Relative Angles in Coordinate Input:
- Use the popular “@” prefix to enter the angle or coordinates relative to the last segment or point. This feature simplifies the coordinate input process when you draw sketches.
- Split Dimension Lines:
- Create cleaner drawings by splitting dimension lines and extension lines when they overlap. Improve the readability of your drawings, when dimension lines or extension lines overlap each other. You can split the dimension lines by specifying a distance without breaking the associativity. You can also set a default values for repeated uses.
- Advanced Block Attributes Editing:
- More options for advanced editing of block attributes and properties. Now you can edit properties such as layer, linestyle, color, text style for attributes stored in a block.
- Dynamic Print Preview:
- The Print settings dialog has been redesigned to improve productivity. You can preview the drawing dynamically before printing to see exactly how it will print. As you make changes to the settings, the preview will get updated, showing you the results of the latest changes in print settings.
- More XtraTools Commands:
- More power features to help you solve tedious tasks. XtraTools, first introduced in CADopia 16 has been further enhanced in CADopia 17 with the addition of new set of powerful utilities. The utilities range from managing layout viewports, importing/exporting dimension styles, creating text labels to scaling blocks, defining draw order by color and more.
- SetByLayer:
- Change property overrides of selected entities to ByLayer. The new SETBYLAYER command helps you to enforce that selected entities inherit layer properties and you can decide which properties such as color, linetype, or lineweight are applied by layer to these entities.
- ChangeSpace:
- Move entities from Model Space to Layouts and vice-versa. The new CHANGESPACE command enables you to move content between Model and Paper Spaces. Besides moving the entities, this command takes care of inserting the entities at the same location and at the right scale maintaining the scale ratio of the viewport in the layout.
New in CADopia Standard 16.1.1.2057 (Sep 8, 2016)
- Quick Input:
- Dynamic information and input options as you go.
- Quick Input displays dynamic information about lengths, angles, prompts and options right next to your cursor and allows you to enter coordinates, angles and distances. Helps you in creating your drawing faster.
- Annotation Scaling:
- Intelligent scaling of annotations on layout sheets and printouts.
- Annotative scaling adjusts the size and scale of your dimensions, texts, hatches and blocks to the scale of each viewport. Annotations are displayed in sizes consistent with the viewport scales in layouts sheets.
- Images and blocks as Hatch Patterns:
- Now, you can create your drawings with hatches that are images or blocks.
- Create hatches using patterns of images or blocks. Advanced options such as scaling, spacing and rotation of the pattern are available.
- Curved Text:
- Draw texts along or inside arcs.
- Draw curved text entities along an arc. Options supported include text formatting, offset distance and selection between convex or concave sides of the arc.
- Drawing Tabs:
- Switch easily between open drawings using tabs.
- Drawing Tabs are now displayed at the top of the drawing window area. When moving your cursor over a tab, you will see a preview of the drawing and its different layouts, so you can switch quickly to the desired view.
- DGN Import:
- Convert DGN files into editable DWG entities.
- The ImportDGN command inserts content from DGN files (V7 or V8) as a block in your drawing. DGN import allows you to work collaboratively with other CAD users who use Bentley Microstation.
- Head-up Display Toolbar:
- Quick editing options available from a context sensitive toolbar.
- The new contextual toolbar appears next to your cursor when you select entities. Shortcuts include zoom to selection, change LineStyle or LineWidth, change entity layer, and allows you to create a dimension or a block from the selection.
- LayerState Manager:
- Create and manage configurations of layers.
- The new LayerState Manager allows you to create and name different Layer states for your layers to easily switch between them. You may for example hide some layers and change their color to show different aspects of the same project based on the audience, for example.
- New Selection Methods:
- Isolate or hide entities in your drawings quickly.
- SelectMatching allows you to find similar entities. IsolateEntities and HideEntities let you show or hide parts of your drawing. IsolateLayers has a new option to lock and fade the remaining layers. You can now search and select entities sharing similar properties with the new selection methods.
- New Utility Tools for Blocks:
- New XtraTools commands to manage blocks faster.
- ReplaceBlock and ReplaceBlockByReference help you substitute existing blocks by other blocks. You can generate a report listing the number of occurrences of each block using GetBlockInfo. You can also import or redefine block attributes
- More XtraToolsTM Commands:
- New pack of utilities to help streamline tedious tasks.
- CADopia 16 introduces a new set of utilities to improve your productivity. Some of these features include Break Lines, Convert a single line text into a multiline one, Make LineStyles by specifying entities, PatternHatch, curvedText, block manager and a Lisp Explorer.
