Features:

• The Tool Palette: Offers a full complement of drawing tools, including lines, rectangles, circles, arcs, polygons, curves, and parallel line tools. Using a pop-out, each tool can be configured to provide several drawing options.

• The Dimension Palette: Provides a full set of associative dimensioning tools that support ANSI and international standards, and allow you to create linear dimensions in single, chained or baseline modes.

• Resize Palette: The new Resize palette offers both an Absolute mode and a Relative mode for resizing objects.

• The Accessory Palette: Contains editing and object manipulation functions. There are tools to create fillets and chambers, add handles to objects, break objects into their edges, extend lines to their intersections, and automatically trim lines that overlap. PC Draft also provides many advanced tools. The Attach function lets you attach (glue) dissimilar edges together, such as arcs, curves, and lines, to form a solid shape that can then be filled.

• The Add feature merges objects together to form a single shape, while Subtract lets you cut the surface of one object from another, or use a line to cut an object in two. The Mirror tool is used to create a mirror image of an object, or a copy of the object, about a user defined axis. Create one side of the object... and get the other half free!

• New Find And Replace Modes: The Find/Replace feature now offers three different replacement modes: Object & Data (current method), Object Only, or Data Only. For example, you can use the Data Only method to find all of the objects with PN = 123, then replace their part numbers without changing their graphics.
