Measure Tools:
Quick and easy setting of scale factor for measurements - no more additional computations!
Changing lengths, areas and perimeters.
File Search:
Favorites and Explorer panels give the possibility for fast navigation among files. Thumbnails subprogramme allows one to view all files in the directory before they are opened, including DXF, PLT and other files not managed by Windows or ordinary viewers. Thanks to the up-to-date tab-based document structure you can navigate among files very quickly.
