Multi-language character set support
CADopia allows you to manage the character set that is assigned to a drawing. This feature can be very helpful when sharing or distributing drawings in geographic regions where several languages are used that require different character sets to display the text properly.

Entity snap enhancements and fixes
Problems in snapping to entities from a previous version have been fixed now. In addition you can now snap to:
  • Middle points and end points of hatch pattern lines.
  • The nearest point and perpendicular point on a hatch pattern line.
  • Intersection or apparent intersection point where the pattern line intersects with other entities that are supported by entity snaps.
When using the extension option with Intersection snap and Apparent Intersection snap, CADopia draws dashed extension lines to help guide you as you use the extension snap option.
Audio notes
CADopia provides the ability to record audio notes as sound clips attached to entities. The sound clips can be played back at any time. For example, you can attach detailed audio notes if you are collaborating with a number of engineers on a large project. You can also create audio notes from existing .wav files. Audio notes created from an existing .wav file are saved with the drawing file.
Command line
The command bar and Prompt History window includes enhanced text editing options for cutting, copying, and pasting text. You can also copy the entire command history or a single command and repeat a previously executed command.
Modeling enhancements
In addition to slicing and sectioning solids, you can now slice regions and ACIS solid bodies.

New and enhanced system variables. Many new system variables have been added to allow you to tailor the behavior of the software to your specific needs.
