The project is also a framework for further development of these tools and information particularly related to Architecture and Engineering. RELEASE FEATURES Some specific new DodoCAD features in this release: o Better language support for all commands. o Beginning metric capabilities being added to some commands. o New polyline join command (PLJOIN, PLJ) will join lines and existing polylines. o New menu item layout that is simpler and has less submenus. o New command to move display of hatch to back (HTB). o Restructured menu to avoid top level groupings. o New shortcut for Scale, non-uniformly (SCC). o Touched up the RGB Color Block tool. o New command to move dimension text to home position (DDH). o New radius length and polyline width options to Draw Rounded Rectangle (RREC). o Improved Rev Cloud routine guesses polyline width and arc length. o New menu option to load DodoCAD custom linetypes. o New command Draw Circle, 2 point (CRR). o New command DISTANC for more informative distance output. Additional changes and details can be found in the ChangeLog document.

DodoCAD Version 0.5 Released Updated: 30 December 2004 DodoCAD (http://dodocad.sf.net) is a Free suite of AutoCAD utilities licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). The project is also a framework for further development of these tools and information particularly related to Architecture and Engineering. RELEASE FEATURES Some specific new DodoCAD features in this release: o New Insert Annotation routine allows user to enter standard annotation marks and tags by selecting them from a graphical menu. o New Insert routine can insert any drawing that is accompanied by an AutoCAD slides with the same name. The routine can autocreate slides on demand (prompting before proceeding.) Options exist to rotate and explode after insert. o New Layer Set Add routine adds layers based on discipline and drawing type. o New Metric additions to drawing setup (beta). o Added Draw Square option to draw it from a given area. o New Draw Rounded Rectangle routine. o Modified drawing setup to use default font styles "Arial" and "RomanS" and dimension variable DIMCLRT to use ByLayer rather than ByBlock. o Fixed ATTBX and ATTBXE use of tag values and layers. Additional changes and details can be found in the ChangeLog document.

DodoCAD Version 0.4 Released, 2004 September 02 DodoCAD (http://dodocad.sf.net) is a Free suite of AutoCAD utilities licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). The project is also a framework for further development of these tools and information particularly related to Architecture and Engineering. RELEASE FEATURES Some specific new DodoCAD features in this release: o New Drawing Setup routine configures settings (mostly scale, unit and dimensions) common to Landscape Architecture, Architecture, and Engineering disciplines using Imperial standards. o New Wall Trim routine to trim pairs of intersecting lines such as might be used to represent walls. o Completed new drawing browser module which displays multiple thumbnails for each drawing (and optionally other file formats) that has a corresponding slide file. Auto-creation of slides for drawings that do not have them is optioned. This will be used in upcoming releases to select routines and insert blocks. o New Slide Make function to create a slide of the current drawing. o New new keyboard shortcuts for several commands. o New key commands for each feature beside menu items. o New Xref Reload to automatically reload all Xrefs without input. o New Zoom Extents 95% to zoom the screen with a small portion of space at the edges. o New Block Scale to non-uniformly scale a block. o New Draw Square routine to draw a square with minimal input. o New Layer Lock All But of object selected and makes layer current. o New Unlock All layers. Additional changes and details can be found in the ChangeLog document.

DodoCAD Version 0.3 Released 2004 August 12 DodoCAD (http://dodocad.sf.net) is a Free suite of AutoCAD utilities licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). The project is also a framework for further development of these tools and information particularly related to Architecture and Engineering. Release Summary This release includes a fix that was causing problems loading DodoCAD when profiles weren't being used. New tools include Join Lines, Break at Point, Weld Lines, Revision Cloud, Areas of Polylines, Attribute Box, Duplicate Removal, Flatten, Global Properties change for plotstyle, and new Property linetypes. Also completed was the new slide browser that we hope to use in upcoming releases for the selection of objects, templates or other routines. Release Details o Profile path checking now handles unspecified situations which was preventing DodoCAD from loading in some situations. o Added Join Lines (JOIN) to connect two lines together at their intersection. o Added Break at Point (BRR). o Added Weld Lines function to connect two different lines between their farthest endpoints. o New Revision Cloud (REVC) drawing tool. o Added Areas of Polylines (AREAS) to total polyline areas in square acres, feet and inches. o Created Attribute Box (ATTBX), a routine to create a three-dimensional rectangular block with a description tag based on distances entered by the user. The corresponding Attribute Box Edit (ATTBXE) then makes adjusting these dimensions very quick. o New Duplicate Removal tool. o Added Flatten command to change Z-coordinates to 0. o New Global Properties change option for Plotstyle. o Created PROPERTY, PROPERTYX2, PROPERTY2 linetypes. o Adjusted FIRE* linetypes to slightly smaller length. o New slide browser. While not enabled this version, future releases will display thumbnails for the user to select blocks, templates and other inserts through previews.
