What’s new in ZWCAD 2010

Faster Speed

You'll work faster and more efficiently because the Memory Optimization with compressed processing and new optimized arithmetic improves the efficiency of commonly-used commands resulting in greater speed and stability, especially when of dealing with large drawings. Viewing operations like zoom, pan, and redraw operate more smoothly.

DWG/DXF 2010 Support

ZWCAD 2010 is unparalleled compatible with AutoCAD 2011. Being able to create, saving drawing in DWG/DXF 2010 file format. Open and modify drawing which is saved as DWG/DXF 2010 file format.

Supports Windows 7

ZWCAD 2010 is designed to seamlessly integrate with Windows 7, both 32-bit and 64-bit, which strengthens your communication with Windows Operating Systems.

In-Place MTEXT Editor

ZWCAD 2010's newly-developed In-Place MTEXT Editor will help you focus on your design and make your work experience more efficient with new and improved functions for your convenience, such as, a new text formatting toolbar, a new dialog box for formatting paragraphs, and a new display options menu. Thus, you can create and edit text objects freely as in other professional word processing software.

Drawing Compare

Drawing compare helps you to find out the difference between two similar drawings easily.

Splinedit

More editing options are available in ZWCAD 2010 for changing the shape of Spline objects. You can edit fit data, adjust refinements, change directions and move vertices, which enables you to work more accurately with Spline.

Layer States Manager

With layer states manager, you can store your layer settings in advance and apply it whenever you need. Layer states manager makes it very easy to perform multiple layer settings by few operations.

Sweep

With SWEEP command, you can create a new solid or surface by sweeping an open or closed planar curve (profile) along an open or closed 2D or 3D path. SWEEP draws a solid or surface in the shape of the specified profile along the specified path. You can sweep more than one object, but they all must lie on the same plane.

Loft

With the LOFT command, you can create a 3D solid or surface by lofting (drawing a solid or surface) through a set of two or more cross-section curves.

View Manager

View Manager is used to create, sets, renames, modifies, and deletes named views; including model named views and preset views. Click a view to display the properties for that view.

Enhanced APIs

• LISP/ VBA

In ZWCAD 2010, APIs like LISP and VBA have been greatly enhanced, with a series of new functions added to the LISP Vlax and Vlr series. We've added new commands to VBA as well, such as AppendOuterLoop and AppendInnerLoop. ZWCAD uses arrays instead of point object, which makes VBA more compatible with AutoCAD} VBA.

• ZRX - Another Powerful Application Programming Interface

ZRX is a new application programming interface (API) that is similar to ARX. As one of the most powerful APIs in ZWCAD, ZRX enables developers to directly access DWG database, customize entities and migrate their former ARX applications to ZWCAD quickly.
