DataCAD LT X3 New Feature Highlights |
Where to find the new
feature
Helpful hints |
|
|
|
Increased File Size Limit |
|
DataCAD LT X3 now has an uncompressed file size limit of 32 MB (the previous
limit was 15 MB). |
|
|
|
SketchUp 7 File Import |
DataCAD X3 provides direct support for SketchUp 7 files.
|
|
Select SketchUp from the Insert pull-down menu and choose the SketchUp file you
want to add to your drawing. |
|
Object Viewer Enhancements |
A number of new toolbars and a set of pull-down menus have been added to the
Object Viewer interface to improve ease of navigation and provide quick access to
frequently-used options. In addition, the Object Viewer now supports saved
views, similar to GoTo Views in DataCAD.
  
   
 
  
New Object Viewer Toolbars
o2c Lights with custom color settings
|
|
Use
the Eye / Focal Point toolbar to set your view point precisely where you want
it. |
|
Smart Arrows |
In addition to the standard, built-in arrow styles, you can now define your own
symbol-based arrow heads. Smart Arrow leaders are polyline-based so they can be
curved. When you stretch a smart arrow, the arrow
head orientation is updated automatically based on the new angle of the leader.
|
|
Go to Text, Arrows, Style and select Symbol to define a custom arrow head. |
|
Smart Symbols |
|
DataCAD
LT X3 includes more than 1,100 smart symbols you can add to your drawings. Smart
Symbols contain view-dependent layers which are designed to display separately
in plan or three-dimensional views. |
|
|
|
Polyline Enhancements |
|
Polylines created via the 2D Curves menu may now be rotated off the ground
plane. You can use the 3D Rotate command to rotate them about the X, Y, or Z
axis. You can also create them in any parallel view projection. |
|
|
|
Multi-View Window Enhancements |
Multi-View Windows now support custom names based on GoTo Views. The GoTo View
name is used for the Multi-View window name. Their names are saved on a
per-drawing basis, so they may be unique from one drawing to another.

Bézier and B-Spline curves may now have up to 20 control points instead of only
8. In addition, you may now apply a Z-Height in order to extrude them for 3D
purposes.
