Commands
Enhanced or changed
1. GT_PARTSTRETCH [Polyline Tool Set 2 ->
Stretch part of a polyline]: A bug
has been fixed in this command which caused malfunction of the command
when the first segment of the polyline was picked for stretching.
2. GT_PARTROTATE [Polyline Tool Set 2 ->
Rotate part of a polyline]: When the
base point for rotation is asked, the OSNAP mode is now set automatically
to ENDpoint. (enhancement)
3. GT_PARTOFFSET/GT_PARTCOPY/GT_PARTRESHAPE/GT_PARTROTATE/
GT_PARTSTRETCH [Polyline Tool Set
2]: All these commands now set and restore
their OSNAP setting.
4. GT_XFER_OD_XD : (AutoCAD Map Tools ->
Transfer object data / xdata between
two objects) : This command caused a crash in plain AutoCAD. This
has been fixed.
5. GT_ALIGNTEXT (Text Tools -> Align Text
Objects) & GT_ALINGTEXT2LINE (Text
Tools -> Align Text Objects to a line): These two commands now
call and run correctly from the pull-down
menu as well as the toolbars. Until
now, they were calling a wrong command name and displaying
a message to the effect that the command name has changed but
with no offer to run that command.
6. GT_OD2XD (AutoCAD Map Tools -> Convert
object data to Xdata) : This command
would not work correctly if there was only one object table in the
drawing if the user clicked Ok without selecting it with a mouse
click. The implicit, autmoatic selection of
a single object data table was not
working. This has been fixed now.
7. General change: All commands that require a
block to be inserted would work
correctly only if the block was defined with the default setting
of "Non-Uniform scaling". If this default was changed and a
block created with "Uniform XY
Scaling", the block insertion would not work
correctly in certain AutoCAD versions. This has now been fixed. A
number of other small bugs have been fixed and improvements made.
8. General change:
The AutoCAD menu bar with the GeoTools menu is now made visible
automatically upon loading GeoTools
