DataCAD 14 estende le
funzionalità introdotte nella versione 13 nella gestione di
testi, note e quote indipendenti dalla scala di stampa in questo
modo una volta impostato le dimensioni in fase di stampa queste saranno
mantenute indipendentemente dalla scala di stampa.
Questa particolarità è possibile estenderla anche ai simboli.
Leggibilità delle note e
quote sono una priorità nella stesura del disegno, con DataCAD
14 è possibile mascherare automaticamente la parte di disegno sotto la nota o quota.
Con questo aggiornamento, abbiamo ampliato la precisione degli elementi 3D e aumentando il limite di 36 lati delle entità 3D. Ora è possibile avere poligoni e lastre con 256 vertici e entità 3D come sfere, coni ecc.. con fino a 128 divisioni primarie e secondarie.
Di seguito alcune delle principali funzioni contenute in DataCAD 14...... |
|
KnockOut |
|
DataCAD 14 includes a new property called KnockOut which you can use to hide
information that is behind the portion of the drawing you want to appear
unobstructed. This feature is particularly useful when adding text or
dimensions which you want to display over hatching. You can apply the
KnockOut property to Text, including MText and PText, Associated Dimensions, 2D
Arcs, Circles, and Ellipses, Polylines, 3D Polygons and Slabs.

|
|
Enable [F8] KnockOut in the Text menu or [S8] in the Dimension, Text Style menu.
|
|
Improved Smart Walls with Hatching and Fill Properties |
DataCAD 14 adds hatching and fill options to the Wall Type Manager.

|
Select the 2D Cavity Settings tab in the Wall Type Manager. |
|
Improved Smart Walls with Independent Top/Bottom, End Cap, and Opening
Materials |
DataCAD 14 adds independent material settings to the Wall Type Manager for wall
Tops/Bottoms, End Caps, and Openings.
 |
Select the Cap Settings tab in the Wall Type Manager. |
|
Improved Smart Wall Cleanup |
Manual X, L, and T intersection cleanup routines now allow you to define a
'master' wall so the other wall will form a 'butt' joint instead of a miter
joint.
 |
Select 'Master Wall' when prompted during X, L, and T intersection cleanup. |
|
Scale-independent Associative Dimensions |
The size of associative dimensions can be locked so they always appear the same size,
regardless of plot scale. This allows you to plot a particular drawing in a
range of several scales without having to edit the size of each dimension.
Associative dimensions with this property enabled will automatically change their
settings
accordingly based on the current plot scale.
|
Enable
Text Scale and Lock Size via the Dimension Text Style menu. |
|
Scale-independent Symbols |
The size of symbols can be locked so they always appear the same size,
regardless of plot scale. This allows you to plot a particular drawing in a
range of several scales without having to edit the size of each symbol.
Symbols with this property enabled will automatically change their size
accordingly based on the current plot scale.
|
|
Enable Symbol Scale and Lock Size while inserting a symbol.
|
|
Scale-independent Hatching |
The scale of hatch patterns can be locked so they always appear the same size,
regardless of plot scale. This allows you to plot a particular drawing in a
range of several scales without having to edit the scale of each hatch entity.
Hatch entities with this property enabled will automatically change their scale
accordingly based on the current plot scale.
|
Enable Lock Size via the Hatching, Hatch Type menu. |
|
3D Polygon and Slab Vertex Limit Increased from 36 to 256 |
|
The maximum number of vertices on a 3D polygon or slab has been increased from
36 to 256. |
Add
as many as 256 vertices while creating 3D polygons and slabs. |
|
3D Entity Division Limit Increased from 36 to 128 |
The maximum number of primary and secondary divisions for 3D entities including;
3D Curves, Cylinders, Cones, Spheres, Tori, Contours, Mesh Surfaces, and
Revolved Surfaces has been increased from 36 to 128.

 |
Define
as many as 128 Primary and Secondary Divisions while creating 3D Curves,
Cylinders, Cones, Spheres, Tori, Contours, Mesh Surfaces, and Revolved Surfaces. |
|
Enhanced XREF and Symbol Clipping Boundaries |
XREF Clipping boundaries (XClips) and Symbol Clipping boundaries (SClips) can
now be edited in-place without have to redraw the entire boundary. The
familiar polyline editing tools are now used to re-shape the clipping boundary.
|
Select
Edit from the XClip or SClip menu and the polyline editing tools will
automatically appear. |
|
Layer Manger Layout Enhanced |

The layout of the Layer Manager has been adjusted to provide a smaller minimum
width. |
|
|
|
Miscellaneous Enhancements |
- XREFs linked to GoTo Views now remember layer highlight settings and clipping
boundaries.
- Pen Sorting can now be disabled via the Print/Plot menu.
- DataCAD 14 allows you to export to either SketchUp 7 or SketchUp 8 format.
- A 'Zoom %' option has been added to the Multi-view Window context menu.
- Enabled dynamic mouse panning button combination Left Mouse Button + Right
