NEW FEATURES AND COMMANDS
64-bit architecture
Moving to a 64-bit architecture allows
GerbTool to make full use of all the memory available in the Windows
64-bit address space. This removes the restrictive 4GB memory limit
imposed on 32-bit applications. This allows us to support
significantly larger databases with increased accuracy.
Enhanced View Tabs
View tabs now save/restore all view
settings including viewed layers.
-
We have added the optional ability
to automatically load default View Tabs for ease of viewing and
working with your data
-
Customize your own working
environment by adding additional view tabs and controls
-
View Tabs support
Site wide environment control
Control of several configuration
options at a network level is now available via the new WSSI_SITE
environment variable. Some of the settings available are:
Options for object snapping
Using the HOME key during operations
which require a coordinate, now snaps to the nearest end or center
of lines, arcs, and polyline or polygon segments. Using SHIFT+HOME
allows snapping to the nearest point or centerline on the edge of an
item. CTRL+HOME and CTRL+SHIFT+HOME continue to pop the Absolute
coordinates dialog when snapping.
Fill Closed Polylines
It is now quite simple to turn an
entire design worth of drawn outlines into filled polygons with
voids. Options for cleaning up poorly drawn outlines help to solve
some of the toughest data manipulation needs.
Updated Dimensioning Tools
Modeless dialogs for Drawing/Dimensioning
allow on-the-fly switching of parameters for a faster, smoother
workflow.
-
Changed ordinate dimensioning to use a single
base point per drawing layer
-
Automatically create a drawing layer if one
does not exist during Add/Dimension command
-
Dimension changing to Horizontal/Vertical ask
for the position of the text
-
Note Balloon shape now surrounds the full
text
