ZWCAD Design today announced the release of  ZWCAD+ 2015 SP3, another updated version to its flagship product in 2015 featuring with new feature like 3D Clip and many other enhancements and fixed bugs. The availability of new ZWCAD+ 2015 SP3 will largely speed up the design process as well as guarantee design stability. Adjust 3D Clipping Panels in 3D Mode CAD design is not all about dealing with regular shapes, sometimes designing a shape that you can’t get from current shapes is very necessary, so 3D clip is here to solve the problem. By opening the "Adjust Clipping Planes" window and starts an interactive 3D mode. Users can see the clipping effect in current drawing area when they simulate front and back clippings for 3D solids in 3D space which diversify you design and expands the boundary of it. Text in table display with right size Improvements have also been made for table which guarantees the stability
