DataCAD 11 Principales Nuevas características
Access New Feature Cómo accesar a una nueva característica.
Hint Notas y ayudas útiles (Hints y tips)
 
Compatibilidad con versiones previas
DataCAD 11 es compatible con los mismos dibujos, símbolos, templates, tipos de línea, hatch patterns, fonts, y  DCAL® macros, desde el DataCAD versión 4 hasta la 10.
 
Mejoras de pantalla;  Mejoras visuales
DataCAD's graphic pipeline ha sido mejorado para aumentar el rendimiento.  El tiempo requerido para el  Panning, Zooming, Dynamic Panning, y Scroll Wheel Zooming ha sido reducido significativamente. Además, 
In addition, the Perspective Walk Through, Pan View setting is recognized when you use either the scroll wheel or the dynamic panning method to walk forward or backward or step up, down, left, or right respectively.  A new menu item, Scroll Dist., has been added to the Perspective, Walk Through, Options menu to set the walk and step distance when you use the mouse to navigate in a perspective view.
 
Base de Datos de Doble-precisión
12345678901234...
DataCAD 11 usa procesos matemáticos de doble-precisión y de punto flotante para calcular y almacenarlos valoresen la base de datos del dibujo. Versiones anteriores de DataCAD tenían solo una exactitud efectiva de ~7 dígitos después del punto. DataCAD 11 tiene una exactitud efectiva de ~14 posiciones decimales. Esto significa que DataCAD 11 es ahora más exacto que AutoCAD® y usted puede trabajar en proyectos más grandes sin que tenga problemas por redondeo de cifras, especialmente al importar dibujos extensos.
 
Aviso de Alerta de uso en la RED
DataCAD puede verficar si otras instancias de DataCAD están corriendo en la RED y determinar si un archivo está o no siendo usado. Cada vez que usted abre un dibujo, DataCAD registra la fecha, hora, usuario, y estación de trabajo en el archivo (.U$R) correspondiente. Si usted trata de abrir un dibujo que está siendo usado por alguien más, DataCAD le hará saberlo y solo le permitirá abrir una copia de ese dibujo.
 
Respaldo y Recuperación
Hemos reestructurado el proceso de respaldo y recuperación del DataCAD para ser más confiable y menos confuso. Cada vez que salga anormalmente de un dibujo, DataCAD atomáticamente tratará de recuperar la versión más reciente de su dibujo sin necesidad de pedirle nada o con alertas u opciones innecesarias.
 
File Purge
Purge Drawing DialogLos archivos de DataCAD son automaticamente eliminados cada vez..
files are automatically purged of any unused data each time you exit and save your drawing.  In addition, a Purge dialog replaces the Layer Utility macro, allowing you to create new drawings based on a sub-set of an existing drawing.

 

Access New Feature Para Acceder a las opciones de Purge Drawing, seleccione Purge... del Menú File.

Hint Seleccionando los "saved views" o las hojas de "multi-scale plotting" automáticamente abrirá los "layers" correspondientes.

Archivos de Dibujo Comprimidos
Los dibujos actuales de DataCAD 11 son almacenados en modo comprimido que los hace hasta una quinta parte más pequeña que las versiones previas.
 
Respaldo de Sesiones de Dibujo
Drawing session backups is a new feature that allows you to configure DataCAD to automatically save up to 10 incrementally-named backup drawings.  Session backups are only created each time you exit and save your drawing.
Drawing Session OptionsAccess New Feature To access Drawing Session options, go the Misc. tab of Program Preferences.
Hint A new drawing session is created only when you close and save your drawing.
Hint You can have a maximum of 10 drawing sessions per file.
Interface con el Programa
DataCAD 11 Application WindowDataCAD 11 features an updated program interface that provides Windows 2000-style properties and support for Windows XP Themes and "Skins".  You can position toolbars and menus where you want by tearing them off and docking them to the top, bottom, left, or right side of the application window.  You can also place toolbars and menus outside of DataCAD to "float" on the desktop, allowing you to resize the drawing area without adversely affecting the user interface and to take advantage of dual monitor displays.  In addition, all of the interface elements in DataCAD 11 will inherit the visual style of your current desktop theme.  For more information about Windows XP Themes, go to http://www.themexp.org.
 
Catálogo de Símbolos
Symbol BrowserDataCAD 11 introduces an easier way to browse, select, and manage symbols.  The new Symbol Browser allows you to rapidly find, place, customize, and manage symbols that you use in your drawings.  Inserting a symbol into your drawing involves little more than selecting it from the Symbol Browser and dropping it where you want it.  With just a few mouse clicks, you can open the appropriate folder, display the symbols in the browser, and select the ones you want to use into your drawing. If you developed custom templates with older versions of DataCAD, you can open them in the Symbol Browser, too. In effect, the Symbol Browser treats file folders as templates that contain collections of symbols.

 
 

Access New Feature To access the Symbol Browser, go to the View pull-down menu and select Symbol Browser.

Hint You can use the [CTRL] + [T] shortcut to open and close the Symbol Browser.

 
Campos de definición de Símbolos
Symbol Field EditorIt's now possible to assign an unlimited number of user-defined fields to symbols for enhanced reporting.  You're no longer limited to the five default fields.

 
 

Access New Feature To edit symbol fields, select Edit Fields from the Symbol Browser Options menu.

 
Reporte de Símbolos de campo
Symbol Report GeneratorWe've enhanced symbol reporting so you can run reports on all symbols in the drawing instead of just the symbols in the active template.  A new dialog gives you access to report forms and displays an on-the-fly preview of the results.

 
 

Access New Feature To access symbol reports, select Reports from the Symbol Browser Options menu.

Hint You can run reports on any symbol you've placed in the drawing, not just the symbols displayed in the Symbol Browser.

 
Atributos de Texto para los Símbolos
Symbol Attribute EditorText attributes can be defined and added to symbols. This lets you use the same symbol multiple times, supplying a unique text string for each one.  For example, you could use one desk symbol several times and label them “Jim’s desk,” “Nancy’s desk,” and “Bob’s desk.”

 
 

Access New Feature To create a symbol attribute, go to the Text menu and select Sym Attrib.

Hint A symbol can contain an unlimited number of attributes.

 
Reporte para los Atributos de Texto para los Símbolos
Symbol Attribute Report DialogText attributes can be defined and added to symbols. This lets you use the same symbol multiple times, supplying a unique text string for each one.  For example, you could use one desk symbol several times and label them “Jim’s desk,” “Nancy’s desk,” and “Bob’s desk.”

 
 

Access New Feature To access symbol text attribute reports, select the Extract Attributes option from the Symbol Browser Options menu.

 
Borre Símbolos directo de la imagen de polígonos
Place symbols directly on polygons.A new option available for inserting symbols allows you to drop any item such as a tree directly on the surface of a polygon.

 
 

Access New Feature To insert a symbol directly on to a polygon mesh, select Z Offset, On Polygon from the insert symbol menu.

Hint Note: Z Offset settings Z-Base, Z-User 1, Z-User 2, and Z-Height are now toggles.  So you can easily insert symbols at the current Z-Base without having to change the Z Offset value each time.

 
TIN Surface Modeler
TIN Surface Modeler OptionsA new TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network) surface modeler provides a comprehensive array of three-dimensional site modeling tools.The TIN modeler can connect a random series of survey points (3D markers) with triangular polygons. Once the polygons are generated, you can calculate the surface area of TIN models, use the flip valley option to “flip” the valley between coincident polygon edges, or create roads, foundation cuts, etc. with the 3D Knife.  The drop point option lets you place 3D markers on the surface of inclined polygons. You can create polyline contours from polygon site models.

 
 

TIN Surface








Access New Feature To access the TIN surface modeler, go to 3D Entity, Polygons, TIN Surface.

 
Drop Point
You can place a three-dimensional marker on a polygon at an inclined point.

 
 

Access New Feature To drop a 3D marker on a polygon, go to 3D Entity, Polygon, Drop Point.

Make Contours
You can make a topological contour map based on a group of three-dimensional points or polygons.

 
 

Access New Feature To generate two-dimensional contours from a three-dimensional surface, go to 3D Entity, Polygons, Gen. Contour.

Ruled Surface Modeler
Ruled SurfaceA ruled surface function allows you to mesh polygon surfaces between Polylines and Contours.

 
 

Access New Feature To access the ruled surface modeler, go to 3D Entity, Polygons, Ruled Surf.

Hint For the best results, draw a polygon boundary and use Geometry, Offset to create two boundaries to mesh together.

 

 
Navaja 3D
3D Knife SettingsA three-dimensional knife allows you to interact with TIN surfaces to create roads, sidewalks, and foundation cuts. You can use the knife to cut out, raise, or depress irregular areas and paths on the building site. Since DataCAD also calculates the volume of the affected area, you can estimate the amount of fill that must be removed (if you are digging for a foundation or a roadway) or added (if you are building up part of the site). To differentiate the cut area, you can specify a different color from the rest of the TIN model. Further, you can select distinct colors for each level and/or side of the cut area.

 
 

TIN Surface








Access New Feature To access the 3D Knife, go to 3D Entity, Polygons, and select 3D Knife.

Hint Note: You only have to select the polygons that will be effected by the path to cut.

 
Herramienta para Seccionar
You can easily create two-dimensional sections from three-dimensional models using the new sectioning tool.  Advanced options allow for automatically hatching and updating sections.  You can also create hidden line sections.  Straight, offset, and curved section paths are supported.

 
 

Access New Feature To access the sectioning tool, go to 3D Edit and select Section.

Enhanced Keyboard Macros
User-defined keyboard macro sequences can now include up to 1,024 commands and there is no limit to the number of characters you can use in the sequence.  We've also added a special PAUSE character so you can tell the macro to wait until you do something such as click or type.  Go to the Help pull-down menu and select What's New? for more information.
 
Nested Aliases
You can call a command line alias by name when you define a macro sequence so you can take advantage of existing aliases.
 
Classic-style Menu Window

Classic Menu Window, Navigation Pad, Projection Pad, and Status Panel are available.  To enable these classic-style elements, go to View, Toolbars.  If you would also like to have the classic look of raised buttons, go to the Interface tab in Program Preferences and check Classic Buttons.
 
Bitmap Orphans Manager
A new bitmap orphans manager allows you to redefine paths for bitmaps you've already inserted into your drawing.
 
Nested XREF Display Toggle
A new option allows you to disable the display of nested external references at the time you insert an XREF.  You can also toggle the display of nested external references on a per XREF basis via the Reference File Manager or the context-sensitive pop-up menu.  The display of nested references can be disabled globally with the Display Nested XREFs option in the Nested XREFs section of the Misc. tab of Program Preferences.
 
Duplicate XREFs Use Same Memory Space
Multiple XREFs of the same file now use a single memory space.  Used in combination with the Display Nested XREFs toggle, you can significantly reduce the amount of memory required to open your drawings that contain XREFs.
 
Self-referencing XREFs Use Same Memory Space
Multiple self-referencing XREFs now use the same memory space so DataCAD no longer creates a new swap file every time you reference a drawing into itself.
 
Plot Scale Saved with GoTo Views
A new option, Save with GoTo Views, has been added to the Current Plot Scale section of the Misc. tab of Program Preferences.  This lets you save the current plot scale with a GoTo View when you create it.
 
Global Line Overshoots
You can now set the line overshoot value globally so that it applies to all entities equally.  The global line overshoot is scale-independent and is defined as a real-world, plotted distance. You can access the Overshoots menu from the Line Type menu. Note: Overshoot must be toggled on in the Display menu in order to view/plot line overshoots.
 
Contour Search Supports Line/Arc and Arc/Arc
The contour search routine has been updated to handle line/arc and arc/arc conditions that were not supported previously.
 
2-Line Trim Supports Line/Arc and Arc/Arc
The two line trim command has been updated to handle line/arc and arc/arc conditions that were not supported previously.
 
Embedded Line Types
Line Types (up to 255) are now stored in your drawing file.  Now, you don't have to worry about providing custom line type definitions to your colleagues when you give them copies of your drawings.  DataCAD 11.01.00 automatically converts your line type definitions from DCADWIN.LIN to individual .DLT files stored in \DataCAD\Support Files\Line Types.
 
Creador de Tipos de Línea
Now, anything you draw can be converted into a new line type.  The line type creator allows you to select entities in your drawing (up to 65,536) to define one segment of a custom line type.  You can begin using your new line type immediately.
 
Line Type Manager
A line type manager has been added to the Line Type menu. Select Line Manage from the Line Type menu to access a dialog for loading or re-loading external line type definitions into your drawing. You can also set the End Correction and Default Spacing for embedded line type definitions.
 
Embedded Hatch Patterns (Optimizado)
