New in nanoCAD 25

A new setting Scale Block Reference (PARAMS – Main options tab – Edit section), which allows you to enable and disable block scaling. By default, the option is enabled, the block is scaled when the symbol scale changes.

The design has been updated for the Formation of a package of files (ETRANSMIT) dialog and its work has been optimized. The file type icons have been changed, and the ability to select multiple files using the SHIFT and CTRL keys has been added.

The possibility has been added to set the accuracy of export (EXPORT) to STL (*.stl) format by specifying the maximum allowable distance between neighboring points (Max chord length).

For more convenient interaction with the interface, the icons of unused files in the External References (EXTERNALREFERENCES) functional toolbar have been changed

A new Constrained dimension (DCAUTO) command has been added to insert Parametric dimensions by one command (similar to MDIM). This command can only work in the sketch edit mode.

The Insert map by control points toolbar has been implemented for inserting a raster map underlay by control points. You can open the toolbar by opening the Map Underlay (MAPVIEW) dialog: on the Raster maps tab, select the required parameters, check the By control points box at the bottom of the dialog, and click the OK button.

The GLB and GLTF formats have been added to the export command (EXPORT). These formats for 3D scenes and models have the following main advantages: small file sizes, fast loading and processing, full representation of the three-dimensional scene.

The possibility to specify Y axis (up) rotation settings has been added for exporting GLB and GLTF files:

A floating Quick Properties (QUICKPROPERTIES) mini-bar has been implemented for more convenient interaction with the interface.

When you click the 

Settings button, the Customize Properties List dialog box appears, where you can specify properties for each object type to display in the floating bar.

A new Vector Correction (AUTOVC) command has been implemented. The command allows you to correct geometric deviations made during construction or as a result of automatic and semiautomatic vectorization (tracing) for the following objects:

• line
• polyline
• arc
• circle

Automatic correction allows you to:

• delete objects smaller than the specified size
• restore contacts between objects
• “paste” fragments into a single object
• align lines along standard directions (UCS, Ortho-grid), if their deviations do not exceed the value specified by the user
• change the order of rounding the coordinates of drawing objects

When critical errors occur in the program, the possibility to automatically collect data containing statistics and event chronology has been added using the ReportProblem command.

The command creates a folder specifying the time and forms a file package for transfer in it. After that, the user is prompted in the dialog box to add or remove files for sending. Then there are two options: you can report it as a ZIP archiveand save it on computer (Save report button) or send it by email in EML format (Send report button).

In the Batch Files Processing (BATCHPROCESS) utility in the standard default profile, one more processing stage has been added – Remove proxy-objects (RMPROXY). By default, the option is disabled. The command allows you to select the type of proxy objects to be removed (with graphics and/or without graphics).

The Add the current file automatically setting has been added to the list of selected files for batch processing:

By default, the setting is enabled and when you run the Batch File Processing (BATCHPROCESS) command, the current drawing is added to the Selected files list automatically.

You can now add to the Selected files list not only files with the DWG extension (drawing format), but also DWT (template format).

The dialog has been added for setting up the Sheet List Table, in which you can specify the following parameters: table style, title text, table data (column settings), and also specify a previously saved sheet set or select sheets to include in the list.

Associativity of DST format files has been added. Now, documentation set files are automatically opened in nanoCAD and the Sheet Set Manager (SHEETSET) toolbar is launched simultaneously.

The possibility to move sheets inside the document set/group by simply dragging them has been added in the Sheet Set Manager (SHEETSET) toolbar.

The usability of the Rename & Renumber Sheet dialog box in the Sheet Set Manager (SHEETSET) toolbar by automatically selecting the Number field has been improved.

On the Sheet Lists tab of the Sheet Set Manager toolbar, the menu button 

 has been added for publication of selected sheets or the entire sheet set. The following output options are possible:

• publish to PDF
• publish to Plotter
• publish to DWF
• publish to DWFx

The publish of document set/sheet group/sheet set/sheet is also available in the Sheet Set tree context menu.

A file name suggested by default for a multi-sheet document when plotting now matches the name of the documentation set instead of the name of the first sheet.

The Create bookmarks option has been added to the Print as PDF and Internal PDF Plotter settings dialog to create bookmarks for sheets and named views in a PDF file.

The Include hyperlinks option has been added to the settings dialogs for Internal DWFx Plotter, Internal DWF Plotter, Internal PDF Plotter, Print as PDF. This option converts document hyperlinks into hyperlinks in a PDF file.

For all internal printers, the possibility to save plotting device settings as a separate file with the PC3 extension has been added for easy use on multiple computers.

The Use subfolder option has been added to the settings dialogs for all internal printers to create an additional directory with the format name (DWFx, DWF, EMF, PDF, or Raster) and save files to the created subfolder. The option is available when the Use predefined file name and Use document file folder modes are enabled.

The PC3 plotter settings file can now be located not only in the standard plot configuration file folder C:\Users\User_name\AppData\Roaming\Nanosoft AS\nanoCAD x64 25\PlotConfigs, but also in the directory where the DWG file itself is located.

Search for network plotters has been optimized. The time to connect to disconnected or “nonexistent” network plotters has been reduced to several seconds.

A new PARAMETERSCURLAYOUT command, which opens the Page setup dialog for setting up the plot settings for the selected sheet.

A new command Recalculate all tables in the drawing (RECALCTABLES) has been added. The command recalculates data in all tables in the drawing. When recalculating, auto-recalculation locks and report freezes are ignored. During recalculation, the Refresh reports and Recalculate options are applied.

The possibility to load tables (TABLE) from XLSX files without a pre-installed office suite has been implemented.

In nanoCAD Tables (TABLE), the following buttons for formatting text in cells have been added to the full editor interface: Underline, Strikeout, Overline, which allows you to edit the wording in several table cells at once.

A new system variable MTEXTFIXED has been added, which determines the display of hard-to-read text objects during editing (small, large, or rotated text is considered hard to read):

• MTEXTFIXED = 0 (or 1) – the text is displayed in accordance with the size and rotation in the drawing;
• MTEXTFIXED = 2 (default value) – the text is displayed in a convenient size and in the horizontal direction.

The following combinations are now available for entering superscript and subscript characters in Multiline text (MTEXT):

• superscript – CTRL + UP ARROW
• subscript – CTRL + DOWN ARROW

The combinations also work in nanoCAD Tables (TABLE).

The following combinations are now available for formatting Single-line text (TEXT):

• strikeout text – %%K or CTRL + K
• underlined text – %%U or CTRL + U
• overlined text – %%O or CTRL + O

For all tools to create and edit Multiline text (MTEXT) and Single-line text (TEXT), the sequence and name of paragraph alignments have been brought to a unified form: Align left, Align center, Align right, Justified, Distributed.

The functionality of the Paragraph dialog, called from the Text Format (MTEXT) bar, has been expanded.

The following settings have been added:

• selection of tab type, as well as the number and positions of tabs, • indent options and values
• paragraph alignment

The settings for intervals before and after a paragraph and setting line spacing within a paragraph have been expanded.
A warning message has been added when entering invalid values of the overlap coefficient in the Hiding the Background (BACKGROUNDMASK) dialog.

The possibility to create a new document based on a specified DWT template file has been added to the nanoCAD 

 button.

The list of templates offered for selection in the menu is limited. To select another template not presented in the list, open the Choose template dialog or configure the Template Names List in the Template Usage section of the Options (OPTIONS) dialog.

The 

Choose template (TEMPLATESDIA) command opens the Choose template dialog box with a list of file templates.

You can add or remove a template by selecting the appropriate command in the context menu. The order of templates can be changed by simply dragging and dropping.

The functions of the classic dialog Linetype Manager (STYLEEDITCMDCLASSIC) have been improved and implemented in the new 

Linetypes (STYLEEDITCMD) toolbar. The linetype editor is located directly on the toolbar and allows you to quickly edit the selected linetype or create a new one.

The functions of the classic 

Text Style (TEXTPROPSCMDCLASSIC) have been improved and implemented in the new Text Styles (TEXTPROPSCMD) toolbar.

When creating a duplicate group (a group containing the same set of objects as an existing group in the drawing) using the GROUP and -GROUP commands, an additional prompt has been added to the command line: “Group with the same objects already exists. Create a new group anyway?”.

The context menu for creating a group (GROUP) has been optimized. The Exploding a Group, Add to Group and Removing from the Group context menu commands are blocked when pre-selecting existing groups and individual objects.

In the Object Grouping (GROUPCMD) dialog, the mechanism for highlighting objects in the selected group on the screen has been changed. Now the Object Grouping dialog box does not close. When the Highlight option is enabled, the group whose line is selected in the dialog list is highlighted on the screen.

A new command Replace Block with Another Block (BLOCKREPLACE) has been added, which allows replacing all selected blocks with one specified block. The objects to be replaced can be pre-selected or specified in response to a command line prompt.

A new system variable OFFSETGAPTYPE has been added, which determines the type of external corners when constructing a polyline offset (OFFSET):

• OFFSETGAPTYPE = 0 (default value) – the offset lines are extended to form a corner;
• OFFSETGAPTYPE = 1 – at the intersections of the offset lines, a fillet is constructed with a radius equal to the offset distance;
• OFFSETGAPTYPE = 2 – at the intersections of the offset lines, a chamfer is constructed, the perpendicular distance from each chamfer to the corresponding vertex on the original object is equal to the offset distance.

The Intersection snap for spline self-intersection points has been added (SPLINE).

In the External references (EXTERNALREFERENCES) toolbar, for more convenient interaction with the interface, the following icons of external reference statuses have been added: File not found, Unloaded, Unreferenced.

The POINTCLOUDSECTIONUCS system variable has been added, which allows you to manage specifying UCS when performing cloud sections.

Index vocabularies for all attributes have been added in the cloud storage core. All index vocabularies are displayed in the Point Cloud Info (NPC_INFO) dialog.

The procedure for constructing cloud detail levels in order to improve the visual perception of the transition from one detail level to another has been redesigned.

The problem of importing PTS files with normals has been fixed.

The possibility to undo and redo the creation of areas in the point cloud preview window during import has been corrected.

View Mode (NPC_VIEWMODE) of point clouds has completely changed and is now presented as a new bar that expands the capabilities of the old dialog.

The possibility to create independent coloring buffers untied from the basic cloud settings has been added. This allows using independent coloring in preview and optimizing work with color through multi-threaded processes.

A new type of metadata for point clouds has been added – spatial dimension (topological, correlation, fractal). This type is supported when saving to the Database, for histograms, coloring, access via API and MetaData structures.

Coloring of points based on their spatial dimension has been implemented using interpolation by color scheme. The mechanism is integrated into the new View Mode bar ensuring data visualization by normalized values.

The possibility to bind classes to layers is disabled. Now, when importing point clouds, new layers corresponding to the classes are not created and the Note field is not filled. Also, it is not possible to control the visibility of point cloud classes through the Layers dialog. However, classes are still managed using the View Mode.

A new functional toolbar Layers has been implemented for quick manipulations with layers.
You can open the toolbar in the ribbon interface in the Home and Settings tabs:

In the classic interface: menu View – Toolbars > Functional > 

Layer Manager… or in the Properties bar – 

Layer Manager…
The command for opening the Layers functional bar in the command line – LAYERSQUICK.
The list of layers can be presented in a tree or table view:

In the tree view, the names of layers are displayed in the left column, and the main properties in the form of icons are displayed in the right column (Status, Color, VP Color, Layer Visibility, Freeze, Lock, Plot, New VP Freeze, VP Freeze). The remaining parameters are expanded in a list under the layer name when you left-click on the arrow to the left of the layer name. The default display mode is a tree view.

In the table view, layer properties are displayed in the form of a table with columns; the functionality corresponds to the Layers dialog.

Due to addition of the Layer Manager functional bar, the old Layers dialog has now become modal, i.e., while the dialog displays all relevant information on the layers in it and changes outside configure dialog are not taken into account. The bar synchronizes and displays current data after closing the dialog.

A new CAD Standards toolbar has been created, which includes such commands as:   Standards settings,  Configure,  Check,  Layer Translator.

The LAYTRANS command has been added. The Layer Translator is designed to convert the layers of the current drawing in accordance with the standards specified for layers. You can also use the Layer Translator to visually control the contents of layers and to remove unused layers in a drawing.
The command opens the Layer Translator dialog box:

The following functional toolbars have been updated and improved:

• Coverings browser (COVERINGBROWSER)

• Covering editor (COVERINGEDITOR)

• Texture editor

• File Explorer (FILEEXPLORER, ADCENTER)

The possibility to lock and unlock layers has been added to the Drawing Explorer functional bar. To do this, in the Layers group, click the lock icon while holding down the CTRL key for the selected layer.

The possibility to redefine blocks has been added to the File Explorer functional bar. The Insert and Redefine and Redefine only commands are available in the block context menu 

.

A new Centroid object snap has been added – snap to the center of mass of closed objects (circle, ellipse, polyline, spline, region, block). You can call the one-time Centroid object snap using the GCE (geometric center) keyword.

A new AREA command has been added to the Inquiry toolbar to calculate area and perimeter by specifying points of an area or an object.

The Area (AREA) and Cumulative Area (CAREA) commands now calculate area, including for objects of the Region (REGION) type.

The Preview… button has been added to the right side of the Plot and Page Setup dialogs, which opens the Preview dialog that can be expanded to full screen.

The behavior of the Plot dialog when there is no plotting device (printer/pc3) specified in the document has been fixed. The Internal PDF-plotter will now be used. In this case, whenever possible, the format dimensions and orientation specified in the pc3 file or document are preserved. The Internal PDF-plotter will select a format that exactly matches the size specified in the document or pc3, or the next larger one from the list of formats available for that plotter.

In the OPTIONS dialog box, in the Import/Export and Print Settings section, a new option has been added: Plot temporary hidden objects:

It controls the printing of objects that are temporarily hidden by the HIDEOBJECTS or ISOLATEOBJECTS commands. When the option is enabled, hidden objects in temporary isolation mode (system variable OBJECTISOLATIONMODE = 0) are printed; when disabled, they are not printed. By default, the option is disabled; temporarily hidden objects are not printed.

In the Page Setup dialog, the name of the Frame Width field has been changed to the Frame Weight. The field is available when the To file mode is enabled.

The following shortcuts have been added:

• CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR – inserts a non-breaking space in texts;
• CTRL+B – enables/disables the bold style for new or selected text;
• CTRL+I – enables/disables italics for new or selected text;
• CTRL+U – enables/disables underlining for new or selected text;
• CTRL+O – enables/disables overlining for new or selected text.

It has become possible to automatically set the frame width to fit the text size by double-clicking the left mouse button on the 

 element of the text input window.
It has now become possible to switch from the “text insertion” mode (text is entered starting from the insertion point) to the “text replacement” mode (text entered from the keyboard replaces previously typed text) using the INSERT key.

Color display of the positive direction of the abscissa axis (X axis) and the ordinate axis (Y axis) when displaying the grid has been implemented. This additionally allows you to navigate the editing plane.

The colored rays are directed from the origin of coordinates. Red is assigned to the X-axis and green to the Y-axis. Display is enabled/disabled when the grid is enabled/disabled (command line: GRID; hotkeys: F7, Ctrl+G).

The grid display style in form of points (GRIDSTYLE variable) has been added.

Default GRIDSTYLE = 0 – the grid is displayed as lines in model space, block editor, layouts, and paper space layouts. The following variable values are also available:

GRIDSTYLE = 1 – display of grid as dots in 2D model space.
GRIDSTYLE = 2 – display of grid as dots in the block editor.
GRIDSTYLE = 4 – display of grid as dots in layouts and paper space layouts.

You can also set up the Grid style in the Drafting settings (command line: DDRMODES, DSETTINGS, SE).

The Copy text format function has been added to the Text format bar (command line: MT, MTEXT, MTEXTCREATE, T).

The function allows you to copy the following properties within one multiline text: font, height, style (bold, italic, strikethrough, underline, overline), skew, tracking (character spacing), aspect ratio, text color, text alignment (left, center, justify, right, distributed), line spacing, bulleted and numbered list options, paragraph options (indents, tab stops). To use the function, you need to select a part of the text or place the cursor on the text whose formatting you want to copy. On the Text format bar, click the Copy Text Format button. Select the text to be formatted. To complete formatting, press ESC or uncheck the Copy text format button.

Attachment of the standard file (*.dws) in the profile settings to all created and opened drawings has been implemented.
You can configure the settings in the Options dialog box (Command line: OPTIONS, PREF; hotkeys: Ctrl+9) in the Standard Audit Usage section.

Options in the Standard Audit Usage section:

• No – prohibition to attach the standard file to drawings being opened. The option is selected by de-fault;
• Use for all documents – use the standard file for all documents being opened;
• Standard Audit File Name <> – setting the *.dws standard file.

When a standard file is assigned in the STANDARDS command dialog box, the file will be displayed first in the list.

The dialog box of the Text decoder (TEXTDECODER) command has been supplemented with viewing the results in the form of “Before After” table, as well as the ability to sort columns in an alphabetical order has been added.

The non-dialog version of the scale list edit command – SCALELISTEDIT to be used in scripts has been implemented.

Now the ETRANSMIT command not only creates a package of files for transfer to another user, but also creates a *.eml file and automatically opens it with the mail client installed on the computer. If the user has Outlook as the standard email client, then instead of creating an eml file, the command will create a letter with an attachment.

The generated package of files includes an information file with a *.txt extension, containing a list of all files (including folders), instructions and notes for users.
The command is supplemented with the following settings:

• setting the root folder to form an organized folder structure;
• inclusion of textures created and/or used in the drawing in the file package;
• inclusion of point cloud in the file package;
• inclusion of unloaded external references in the file package.

The command also includes adding 3D files in *.stl format to the package if they are in external references of the document.

A new system variable SHOWMODIFYFRAME has been added, which controls the visibility of the dotted frame around selected objects in editing operations (copy, move, etc.).

The functionality of the command to construct a circle using 2 tangency points and a radius has been improved 

 . Now you can also specify block elements as tangents.

The set of model viewport configurations has been expanded:

The commands are available in the Ribbon: View – Model Viewports – Viewport Configuration and in the classic interface Menu: View – Viewports, Toolbar: Viewports.

Now, when copying properties of a polyline using the MATCHPROP command, in addition to the width, the linetype generation is also copied.

The standard Coverings library has been supplemented with new textures in the sections of Wood, Roofing, Landscape Design, as well as with a new Water section.

The possibility to delete the Defpoints layer (a service layer containing control points) using the LAYDEL command has been added. During further work with the document, when setting dimensions, the layer will be created again.

The possibilities for inserting blocks into mcad objects (tables, leaders) have been expanded. Now, using the Explode Geometry command, you can also add blocks with the Allow Explosion – No option.

The possibility to expand the expression input field in the Table edit dialog.

The possibility to install the PostGIS extension for PostgreSQL has been added to the program distributive. The extension is necessary to use the functionality of Databases when storing point clouds. If you do not plan to work with point clouds, you can skip this step during installation.
