What features would you like to see added to a future version of DataCAD?

I am working on imported PDFs.
After getting it in and properly scaling it, I want to draw overf it. I then want to modify the GIF in PSP by erasing part of it, and refresh it in DataCad.

I can work round it by changing the name and bringing in under that, but I would like to have a manager rather like the xref manager.

I second this idea.

My current work around is to close and reopen DataCAD. This forces it to look up the bitmap again and "refreshes" it.

I think if you change the Bitmaps in the .ini file, they will refresh, my settings below seem to work.

[Bitmaps]
MaxSize=0.005
MinSize=0.001

Thanks for that.
I have found it a bit flakey but that may just be procedural, and it is certainly better than what I had before!

I GET THE TRICK!!

1 work on the PDF in PaintShopPro

2 ctrl-S

3 Return to DataCad - see no change

4 hit arrows < and >

5 See the change, as DataCad is forced to refresh the image.

Thanks
