ANNOTATION TOOL

ANNOTATIVE SCALE

GstarCAD has added annotative scale and some related settings to objects, spaces, and viewports. The annotative object, such as text, dimension, block, or hatch, could automatically adjust its size when changing the annotative scales in spaces and viewports. As a result, users could arrange and plot drawings for different scales in a faster way.

ASSOCIATIVE DIMENSION

This function builds a dynamic association between the dimension change and annotation update in model space. It helps to simplify the modification of entities with annotation in the drawing.

DIMENSION BREAKS

Places dimension breaks automatically at all the intersection points of the objects that intersect the selected dimension. Any dimension breaks created using this option are updated automatically when the dimension or intersecting object is modified.

HOW TO EXPORT / IMPORT A DIMENSION STYLE?

TEXT ON LINE

EXPRESSTOOLS

Insert text in the selected line and automatically break (or not break) the line at the insert position.

TEXT AND MTEXT

You can create several paragraphs of text as a single multiline text (MTEXT) object. Then, with the built-in editor, you can format the text appearance, columns, and boundaries.

TEXT STYLE

Set unique fonts, sizes, angles, orientations, and other characteristics, and preset styling options let you instantly customize text size and height, font type, dimension lines and arrows, extension line, unit, and tolerance, annotate right when you create them, so each drawing has the standardized signature.

TEXT INCREMENTAL COPY

EXPRESSTOOLS

Copy text while increasing a specified letter or number automatically in alphabetical or in numerical order. Users can specify the increment value.

Customers will find this function useful in a wide range of applications, such as automatic numbering of electrical connectors in industrial designs

TEXT MATCH

A specific tool to match both Mtext and text properties such as content, color, height, angle, align, layer, width factor, and style in the current drawing, avoiding select and edit text attributes one by one.

TEXT ALIGN

This tool is used to align text or Mtext. You can select several Mtext in your drawing to align along with X or Y coordinates or along a line of specific direction by selecting two points as a reference.

CHANGE TEXT

This tool is used to align text or Mtext. You can select several Mtext in your drawing to align along with X or Y coordinates or along a line of specific direction by selecting two points as a reference.

SPELLING CHECK

Check the spelling of any specific text in a drawing with suggestion vocabulary. Supporting 8 languages

FIELD

FIELD is handy while preparing drawings with title blocks or tables. Those fields marked with gray are stored in GstarCAD with special variables, and they can be placed at any location inside the drawing with any text style. Fields are really nice additions that give you quick access to various types of information via TEXT, MTEXT, or an Attribute.

The latest version of GstarCAD has complemented the FIELD command with the OBJECT option. Users could make the object attribute or formula as the content of a FIELD. For example, users could select one of the properties as the content of a FIELD, such as the area of Hatch; the FIELD will automatically update when the Hatch boundary changes.
