What's new in GstarCAD 2021
GstarCAD 2021 version optimizes 3D functionalities with adding a series of new commands. Other new features like Quick Measure, Import/Export custom settings, and point cloud greatly improve user’s efficiency to obtain dimensional data, transfer user settings, and view point cloud data. Plus, the significant improvements of tool palette and Mtext editor will lighten workload tasks and design process.
Import, Export and Migrate User Custom Settings
GstarCAD 2021 supports importing and exporting user custom settings, and your preferred custom settings like user profiles, CUI, linetype, and hatches, etc. They are easily migrated from earlier versions to GstarCAD 2021.
POLYSOLID
You can use the POLYSOLID command to create 3D solid in a shape of a wall directly or by selecting existing polylines. A polysolid is drawn the same way as a polyline, which is created with continuous straight and curved segments.
PLANESURF
You can use PLANESURF command to create a planar surface by selecting closed objects or specifying the opposite corners of a rectangular surface.
SURFOFFSET
You can use SURFOFFSET command to create a parallel surface at a specified distance from the original surface.
CONVTOMESH
3D objects like solids, closed polylines, regions, 3D face, 3D surfaces, polygon meshes all can be converted to mesh objects. And the objects will be smoothed at the same time of conversion.
CONVTOSOLID
You can use the CONVTOSOLID command to convert eligible objects like 3D meshes, surfaces, closed polylines and circles into 3D solids.
CONVTOSURFACE
You can use the CONVTOSURFACE command to convert eligible objects into 3D surfaces.
CONVTONURBS
You can use CONVTONURBS command to convert solids and procedural surfaces to NURBS surfaces. And you can convert meshes to NURBS after converting them to solid or surface by CONVTOSOLID or CONVTOSURFACE command. Furthermore, this version also adds a series of functionalities to show/hide, add, remove NURBS.
Point Cloud
GstarCAD 2021 supports two point cloud file extensions (.rcp and .rcs) as attachment in a drawing. Users can apply object color and RGB scan colors to display point cloud data.
RAPIDDIST
GstarCAD 2021 supports new RAPIDDIST command, which rapidly measures distance and angle between 2D objects along X, Y axis by moving your mouse.
Tool Palettes Improvement
GstarCAD 2021 supports to add hatch pattern in tool palettes and provides a tool to import the tool palettes of AutoCAD.
Mtext Editor Improvement
New enhancement of MText editor supports to tpye Numbering, Superscript, Subscript, Combining Paragraphs, Matching Text format and Adding Deletelines to the selected text.
