*ZWCAD 2010 is available in 14 multilingual versions, including Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Czech, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Hungarian, Korean, Polish, Russian, Spanish and Turkish.
Experience Major Advances in CAD Optimization With ZWCAD 2010
Memory Optimization
Viewing operations like zoom, pan, and redraw operate more smoothly, and the user work faster and more efficiently because their Memory Optimization improves the efficiency of commonly-used commands, resulting in greater speed and stability, especially when working with large drawings.
More Efficient Drafting Features
ZWCAD 2010 provides improved drawing features like:
MTEXT Editor. ZWCAD 2010’s newly-developed In-Place MTEXT Editor will help the user focus on design and make his/her work experience more efficient with new and improved functions such as a new text formatting toolbar, a new dialog box for formatting paragraphs, and a new display options menu. Now the user can create and edit text objects freely as in other professional word processing software.
Splinedit for changing the shape of Spline objects. The user can edit fit data, adjust refinements, change directions and move vertices, which enables his/her to work more accurately with Spline.
Powerful Application Programming Interfaces with new functions
SDS (similar to ADS).
LISP (similar to AutoLISP) now with a series of new functions added to the LISP Vlax and Vlr series.
VBA with new functions such as AppendOuterLoop and AppendInnerLoop.
ZRX (ZWCAD Runtime Extension, similar to ARX) is one of the most powerful APIs in ZWCAD. ZRX enables developers to directly access DWG database, customize entities and migrate their former ARX applications to ZWCAD quickly.
