NEW COMMANDS

Block Editor (_BEDIT). The Block Editor offers a special authoring area to enable free drawing
and editing of blocks geometry
Construction Line: a construction line is a special type of the infinite line that is typically used when quick drafting techniques are required. Similar to the infinite line, the construction line is a line through a given point, oriented at a specified angle in the three-dimensional space and extending to infinity in both directions
MULTIPLOT: select title-block blocks or Polylines boundaries to print them sequentially using the boundaries as print windows.
ADDSELECTED: create a new object of the same type and general properties (Layer, Color, Linetype etc.) of a selected object, yet with different geometric values.
QUICKWBLOCK: create quickly an external DWG file from a selected group of elements.
CAMERA: define settings for 3D views of drawings according to a location and target. You can also specify the camera height, clipping boundaries for the view etc.
ARRAYPATH: place object copies uniformly along a path or a portion of a path.
TABLEEXPORT: data export from a table object in the CSV file format.
POINTSEXPORT: Points export to ascii xyz or csv.
CENTERLINE: create centerline geometry associated with selected lines and linear polyline segments.
SCALETEXT: enlarge or reduce selected text objects without changing their locations.
DIMREASSOCIATE: the association or reassociation of selected dimensions to entities or points on entities.
DIMREASSOC: restore the measured value to overridden or modified dimension text.
AREATEXT: calculate boundary area and place the text with the value in the center of the area. Through the configuration dialog the user can set: Units used for drawing, Units desired for measurement, Prefix, Suffix Units of measurement, Decimal number, Retain boundary. It is possible to select an area through multi points, the direct selection of entities or by clicking inside a closed area.
CHANGEBLOCK: create a new Bock Definition from a Block instance and open Block Editor to create a new modified Block.
RENAMEBLOCK: rename a block and add a new block definition for further editing.
CREATELINETYPE: create custom textual Linetypes through the Dialog box.
DIMPOLY: the automatic creation of dimensions around a polyline.
OFFSETSMART: create an offset deleting the original entities.
DIMARRANGE: the aligning of a dimension line and a sub line.
TEXTARRANGEV: arrange the selected text with vertical alignment.
TOTLENGTH: show the total length of selected object.
