Activation
The Activation dialog (free Version *only*) is now displayed at start up instead of showing it at print/save.
New Features
- Sheet Dimensioning - User can now use eSnaps to draw relative dimensions on Sheets.
- Toggle dimension arrows- Users can now toggle dimension arrows from the inside of the extension lines to the outside of the extension lines -or visa-versa- by clicking on the new dimension arrow toggle cue.
- Smart Dimension- Users can now select the SmartDimension command and dimension all entity types without having to switch dimension tools to get their job done. I.e.: Select SmartDimension and select lines, circles, arcs, etc without having to hit escape or enter to select a different dimension tool. One tool does all.
- Improved crash report tool.
- API Development (printing, geometry, annotations):
- New interfaces through which dimensions can be created and modified
- New interfaces through which custom data can be stored in the drawing
- The DraftSight API templates for VB.net, C# and C++ will be installed on the user’s computer at install time.
