What's new in PloView 11.01
Jun 22, 2023
- Fixed the problem that the paper size of the PDF file output by automatic paper selection is slightly deviated from the standard size when the standard size paper is selected for PDF output.
- Fixed the problem that when the paper is set to "drawing area + zero margin" in PDF output, the figure at the drawing periphery of the output PDF file is slightly out of the paper size and is not displayed.
- When the left, right, top, and bottom drawing positions of various outputs are set again in one of the outputs, they are reflected in the other outputs.
- However, when the output device for plotter/printer output is switched to HPGL Plotter, the drawing position is automatically set to the lower left. There is a possibility that other output may be performed without noticing the automatic switching.
- Therefore, after outputting to HPGL Plotter, the drawing position is automatically restored.
New in PloView 11.00 (Jun 22, 2023)
- Compatible with Windows 11.
- Code signing was added.
- By attaching a code sign, the software distribution source is authenticated, and it is guaranteed that spoofing and content tampering have not been performed. Recently, Windows and security check software have tightened security checks, and there are increasing cases of false recognition even though there is no virus. Code signing may reduce false positives.
- Added the following text to Article 2 of "License agreement". "This software cannot be operated remotely."
- Open a black-and-white TIFF file, select [Set] [Pen], set [Set to Black and White mode] and [output] to ON, and when outputting to PDF, the black and white reversed PDF file will appear. Fixed this bug.
New in PloView 10.06 (Mar 27, 2018)
- The paper standard (ISO A0-A4, ISO B0-B5, JIS B0-B5, ANSI A-E, ARCH A-E,E1) can be set by specifying the paper size of the printer, PDF, TIFF, Bitmap, JPEG, GIF, PNG, PCX, FPX output Dailog.
- At "File" - "Create new comment" command, or "Set" - "Comment draw area" command, drawing size can be selected from next paper standard paper size. ISO A0-A4, ISO B0-B5, JIS B0-B5, ANSI A-E, ARCH A-E,E1
- In the case of automatic paper selection with printer output, when the output drawing size exceeds the maximum paper size that can be selected, the largest paper is selected and the output scale is automatically adjusted so that the drawing size matches the paper size.
- When selecting automatic paper for output (PDF, TIFF, Bitmap, JPEG, GIF, PNG, PCX, FPX), change the smallest paper selection order as follows.Conventional: A4 landscape → A4 portrait → A3 landscape → A3 portrait. New: A4 portrait → A4 landscape → A3 landscape → A3 portrait
- The paper size was displayed in the preview window toolbar when previewing with printer output.
- By double clicking the status bar of the main window, XY coordinates of HPGL unit (0.025 mm is 1 HPGL unit) are displayed in addition to ordinary XY coordinates.
- When opening a multi-page drawing with different drawing size and previewing the plotter and printer output, we corrected to display abnormal.
- Fixed the problem that character position shifted under extremely rare conditions.
- Condition: When characters are drawn with multiple LB (label command) without pen movement instruction after LO (label origin command) other than initial value.
- Under the following conditions, we corrected the fault that black and white color selection was displayed incorrectly: Set to black and white ;data that draws figures while changing colors with PC (pen color designation) command.
- Fixed an obstacle in which filled figures are not displayed with EMF output.
- When the special output version of PloView of automatic output is activated on the command line and the output type changes, the problem that the output condition becomes indefinite unless the same output is made in the dialog mode beforehand was fixed.

- It was made to set up input file relations with set input file
- menu. It enabled it to set up file extension for every file type.
- Extension set up here is displayed on "kind of file" of OpenFile
