Features
- Properties panel — a comprehensive rebuild: every entity now shows its full property groups (geometry, 3D visualization, dimension-style, plot style, hyperlink, material, solid history, and more), matching the reference layout. Read-only values are now selectable text you can copy.
- Quick-access toolbar — New / Open / Save / Save As / Print buttons replace the logo menu at the top-left, alongside Undo / Redo.
- Layer Manager in bulk — turn layers on/off, lock, freeze and set transparency across every selected layer at once, and Ctrl/Cmd+A selects all layers. (#236)
- Add Selected — recreates the picked object's type and properties without changing the current layer, and now supports dimensions, adopting the template's dimension style. (#239)
- System variables — typing a bare variable name (MIRRTEXT, FILLMODE, LTSCALE, …) prompts for the new value on the next line; Enter keeps the current one.
- Exact 3-D on save — extrude / boolean / loft solids are written with exact NURBS ACIS geometry, so they open as real solids in other CAD applications.
- Plugins — plugins can persist XDATA to DWG and modify or delete entities; layers they introduce are auto-registered so the added geometry survives a DWG save. (#249, #250, #252)
Fixes
- Mirror text — MIRROR now produces a true mirror image under MIRRTEXT, and keeps text right-reading at the mirror-symmetric position when MIRRTEXT is off; the live preview matches the committed result.
- Block attributes — inserted block attributes land at their proper position and alignment instead of stacking at the origin, and follow the block when it is moved. (#255)
- Xref 3-D solids — solids brought in through an xref now tessellate and render. (#203)
- Ellipse grip — dragging the minor-axis grip past the major length swaps the axes instead of clamping it short. (#242)
- Text justify — JUSTIFYTEXT sets the vertical alignment for single-line text.
- Numpad decimal — the numpad decimal key always types a decimal point, regardless of keyboard layout. (#201)
- 3-D rendering depth — surface fills draw at their real depth and orthographic depth precision stays constant across zoom, fixing z-fighting and flicker.
