ZWCAD 2019 - New Features
Annotative Object
Annotations like dimensions and texts can be set as Annotative Objects, enabling their sizes to be adjusted automatically according to different view scales in Model space or Layout viewport, to guarantee their readability on screen and in plotting.
|
PDF / DWFx Underlay
Both PDF and DWFx files can be attached to your current drawing as underlays and references, so that you can continue to work on the existing designs, instead of starting from scratch.
|
Layer Properties Manager Palette
Layer Manager is now a palette, which means that you can operate in the drawing area with the Layer Manager on and the adjustments in it can be updated instantly in the drawing area.
|
Smart Plot
With Smart Plot, multiple frames can be plotted all at once from the Model space with ZWPLOT command. More efficient plotting process is realised.
|
Z-Tracking
Polar tracking on Z-Axis is available now in 3D design. You can draw lines parallel to Z-Axis easily without any other construction lines or switching to different views.
|
Custom Colour Scheme
In the previous version, Dark is the default color scheme helping reduce visual fatigue. Now Light is also available as another option to satisfy different preferences.

ZWCAD 2018 SP1 - What's new....
Design Centre
Manages and enables access to drawing contents such as blocks, xrefs, layers and others on your computer or network drive. |
Block Editor
Opens a seperate window for creating and editing block definitions. |
Layer Previous
Restores the last change or set of changes made to layer settings. |
Dimension Inspect
Adds or removes inspection information for a selected dimension. |
Helix
Creates a 2D spiral or 3D spring. Use a spiral path to create a 3D spring model. |
Pyramid
Creates a 3D solid pyramid. |
Mirror3D
Creates a mirrored copy of selected 3D objects about a plane. The mirroring plane can be defined as an object, three points, XY/YZ/ZX plane and others. |
Time
Displays the date and time statistics of a drawing including current time, created time, total editing time, etc. |
ZWCAD 2018 - What's new....
New UI
Te new UI is less bright with a higher contrast so is easier on the eyes. It is also neater and flatter. The skin colour is closer to the model space colour for a more professional look. |
Quick Calculator
Perform calculations within CAD as you would with a desktop calculator. The calculator supports the usual functions and users can define variables. |
Solprof
Project 3D solids onto a 2D plane to create 2D profiles. |
Mvsetup
Use Mvsetup to set up a drawing for plotting directly from model space. Alternatively, on a named layout, you can insert a title block into the drawing, and create a set of layout viewports in the title block area. You can specify a global scale as the ratio between the scale of the title block in the layout and what you have created in model space. |
Oops
Restores objects erased by the last ERASE command. |
Image Quality
The ImageQuality command enables control the display quality of images. The quality setting affects display effects; high-quality images take longer to display. Changing the setting updates the display immediately without regenerating the drawing. |
Flip Dimension Arrow
The AIDIMFLIPARROW command is now supported in ZWCAD 2018. Click a dimension node to flip the arrowheads in or out. 
LISP Compiler
Lisp Compiler is used to compile .lsp file to .zelx formats, which can be loaded on ZWCAD. It helps users to run Lisp programs more efficiently and developers to protect source codes. |
Customise UI
Partial CUI is now supported as well as customisation of the Classic Interface. |
