C.2.65 4D CAD 1.0d26

• (329) Worked around bug in Pascal compiler of note 328. It caused the colors of color-palette areas to be incorrect.
  
  
• (330) Selecting an insert-object of an empty block could display an offside single pixel on the screen (apart from the insert’s blip). This has been fixed.
  
  
• (331) The hit test for selecting filled rotated thick rectangle and square objects ignored the object’s line width. This has been fixed.
  
  
• (332) Fixed a bug in selecting-by-line.
  
  
• (333) Editing a block loaded with CADLoadFromPict or CADLoadFromFile wouldn’t change the bounds of inserts of that block. This has been fixed.
  
  
• (334) Setting a layer to a non-editable mode with CADSetLayerAttributes didn’t deselect objects on sublayers of the layer. This has been fixed.
  
  
• (335) On Windows NT, with some printer drivers, the printing-preview could crash the application or display an alert "Warning: bad memory operation error #−25006". This has been fixed.
  
  
• (336) Continuous zoom didn’t properly show scrollbars on Windows. This has been worked around.
  
  
• (337) The logic of transformations applied to linewidths, linetypes, font-sizes and markings has changed. The changes were necessary to make transformations reversible: the inverse matrix of a sequence of transformations should always revert to the original.
  • Font-sizes are always scaled.
  • Linetypes are never scaled.
  • Linewidths are scaled by CADTransform , CADScale , CADShear , CADMoveByMatrix , CADCopyByMatrix , CADCopyObjByMatrix , CADMetricsByMatrix and CADAcceptDXF . They are not scaled by CADStretchObj and CADLengthenObj .
  • Markings are scaled for block-inserts only.
  • Scaling font sizes, markings and linewidths for matrix objects (block-inserts) uses the inside-scaling-factor of the transformation matrix.
  • Scaling font-sizes and linewidths for other objects uses the mean-scaling-factor of the transformation matrix (which is the square root of the determinant).

    Note. Exploding a block-insert into objects (using CADCopyByMatrix or CADMoveByMatrix ) might therefore produce objects that are slightly different from those in the block-insert.

  
  
  

• (338) On Macintosh, the width of string objects is now more precisely independent of zoom factor and printing scale.
  
  
• (339) The default fill style of DXF-solids has changed from kCADFillStyleSolid to kCADFillStyleTransparent (as the drawing order of objects in AutoCAD isn’t always clear).
  
  
• (340) On Windows, patterns for selecting object fills and thick object outlines have been replaced by color blends. This is due to limitations of Windows 95. (Also renamed parameters of CADGetDimPrefs and CADSetDimPrefs ).
  
  
• (341) The minimum width/height of a zoom rectangle is somewhat larger (6 pixels instead of 4).
  
  
• (342) The graphics engine for drawing and printing CAD objects on Windows has been partly rewritten. Macintosh calls (on Windows) to ASINTPPC.DLL have been replaced by Windows calls. This should solve most drawing and printing problems.

  Known issue − the graphics engine on Windows is still (much) slower than on Macintosh.
  
  

• (343) Optimized memory management for large CAD and DXF files with many blocks (e.g. > 4000). This results in faster load times and reduced memory requirements.
