Version 11.4.1 - 01/07/2011
New
ATTRIBUTES: added support for FIELDS.
FLATSHOT command: creates a 2D representation of the 3D objects displayed in the current view. This 2D representation can be inserted as a block or exported to a file.
SVG: export to SVG format (Scalable Vector Graphics).
SVG export options were added in the Settings dialog.
Improved
SETTINGS DIALOG:
clicking on a checkbox has immediate effect now, no longer needed to click twice (once for selecting the property and once for changing the value).
space bar can be used to toggle the checkbox value.
STATUS BAR: 'Settings' from 'ESNAP' status bar button now opens Settings dialog on 'Entity snap mode' (OSMODE) i.o. on 'Entity snaps'.
SR24308 - TEMPLATE: added support for the '/t' command line switch, which allows to specify a template drawing.
SR24819 - DXFIN: added support for dropping .dxf files in the application window, also if no documents are open.
SR25702, SR26772 - LIMITS: 'Limits' item in 'Settings' now calls '_limits' instead of '^c^c_limits;t'> Previously, the menu item was a 'check' item: it could only toggle limits On/Off, not set the limit corners. The LIMITS command has been made transparent.
SR26689, 28978 - SNAP: performance of snapping to 3D solids has been considerably improved.
SR27361 - RENDER: bulged parts of polylines with thickness could be rendered hardly visible (too dark or too light).
SR29855 - TABLE STYLES: added support for copy/paste of table styles.
Fixed
BACKGROUND DIALOG:
A crash occurred when the background image file could not be found.
When modifying the background image file name by typing in the text field i.o. using the Browse button, the modification was not taken into account.
COPY/PASTE: temporary files were created in the current folder instead of the system temp folder. This caused the copy/paste operation to fail if the user did not have sufficient rights for the current folder.
COPY/PASTE: 'temporary' files were not temporary, but persistent.
CUI CUSTOMIZE DIALOG: selecting another tool Id in the 'Tool ID' property combobox did not work.
PC3 EDITOR: 'Save As' was saving the file in the current folder instead of the specified folder.
PRINT PREVIEW: sometimes print preview for configuration "None (uses Default)" did not work although default.pc3 file was generated and although preview did work for any other print configuration. This was caused by a path issue: plain pc3 files were identified by their full path whereas default.pc3 was identified by it's file name only, and not found.
RENDER: Grid and UCS icon were not visible in realistic render mode and permanent rendering.
SUN: a new sun object was flagged by audit because it's owner ID was not set.
SR17558, SR21110 - CLOSE: when closing a session with multiple modified drawings, the drawing names mentioned in the subsequent "Save?" prompt dialogs did not match the displayed drawing.
SR23955, 27185, 27323, 28555, 29825 - RASTERPREVIEW: this setting specifies whether or not to save a thumbnail image within the drawing. It was not obeyed: if no thumbnail existed, a new one was created, regardless the setting. If a thumbnail already existed, it was not updated, regardless the setting.
SR28544 - ATTEXT: text strings were not trimmed back to the length specified in the template.
SR29046 - FLATTEN: operation failed for polylines with thickness. Also corrected the command line prompt to display all options (EXplode and ELevation).
SR29319 - LINETYPE FILES: failure to load Japanese linetypes from .LIN file with ANSI encoding.
SR29735 - DDEDIT and DDATTE dialog: when several attributes of an insert had the same tags, the attdef prompts were incorrect.
SR29795 - XREF: display of unresolved xref names was failing intermittently.
SR29857 - TABLE STYLES: changing text height in table styles did modify cells with overrides, it shouldn't.
SR29858 - TABLE STYLES: did not automatically regenerate tables on modification.
SR29860 - SAVE: exception occurred while trying to save a drawing containing erased Fields.
SR29905 - TABLES: undo of a text edit required an extra regen in order to correctly update the display.
SR29943 - TABLES: unlocking/locking of cells could not be applied to a range of cells.
SR29945 - TABLES: clearing cell overrides did not reset the cell's color and format.
SR30098 - SINGLETON: opening the same drawing twice, by double-clicking it in the (Windows) Explorer, should not start a new Bricscad session.
SR30139 - EXPORT: to dwg/dxf used to include only entities from the current layout. Now EXPORT to dwg/dxf works similar to the WBLOCK command, including entities of the whole drawing.
SR30258 - GRIP EDIT: impossible to grip-edit arcs that were not in the XY plane (regression since V11).
Application Development
LISP: (arxload) function now also allows to load .NET modules, the file extension for .NET modules must be .dll.
.NET: added support for demand-loading of modules.
.NET: added support for drag and drop of modules into the Bricscad application window.
OPEN: when application code opened a read-only drawing, a message box popped up. Instead, the drawing should be opened silently.
SR18497 - DXFIN: when running in "programmed" mode (Lisp, Arx etc.), the DXF file is now added into the current drawing instead of a new one.
SR24081, 25736 - BRX/Bmodeler: Body::skin improvements.
SR24168 - BRX: disabled differential Undo for custom objects, to prevent improper data sequences during dwgInFields and dwgOutFields calls.
SR28220 - BRX: AcDbEntity::setDatabaseDefaults incorrectly made and overwrite of the text height if it was alrready set by the AcDbText constructor.
SR28467 - BRX: implemented OdGeCurveCurveInt2d::overlapCount()
SR29355 - BRX/Bmodeler: morphing maps improvements
SR29717 - BRX: improved compatibility of AcDbEntity::getGeomExtents
SR29837 - BRX: fixed acedGetCurrentColors which was wrong for background color.
SR29896 - BRX: fix to prevent empty Undo records when no database changes took place between AcAdDocmanager::lockDocument() and ::unlockDocument() calls.
SR30045 - Lisp/SDS/BRX:
1. when a selection filter was used with specific DXF groupcode, which appeared multiple times in the (entget) list, like for groupcodes 10, 100 etc., a hangup could occur (endless loop).
2. Fixed selection using 420 (truecolor) filter.
SR30049 - LISP: persistent reactors were improperly initialised during opening of a drawing.
SR30075 - .NET: added wrapper for acedInvoke.
SR30088 - BRX: AcCmColorBase::colorNameForDisplay now returns translated color names.
SR30089 - BRX: improvements to the AcApDocument locking mechanism, previous implementation was not able to handle nested locks.
SR30137 Lisp/SDS/BRX: _F (fence) selection mode for "ssGet": last fence point was ignored, when last and first fence points were the same.
SR30205 - .NET: solved ResultBuffer issues: there was an incorrect cast in method TypedValueToResbuf, and in some cases the ResultBuffer class was returning Handles instead of ObjectIds.
