MICROGDS 7.1.2 (GERMAN) RELEASE NOTES February 2006 ===================================== MicroGDS 7.1.2 (German) is provided as a patch to your MicroGDS 7.1.1 (German) installation. It is for use ONLY WITH THE GERMAN VERSION of MicroGDS; contact your distributor if you need a patch for another language version. During the upgrade you may be prompted to insert your MicroGDS 7.1 CD. If this occurs you should hold down the Shift key when inserting the CD to prevent the autorun from starting. (If you fail to do this you will get a harmless error message later from InstallShield.) IMPROVEMENTS AND FIXES SINCE MICROGDS 7.1.1 ------------------------------------------- We have made some changes to improve compatibility with future releases of MicroGDS. MicroGDS now tries harder to use relative filenames when saving data. Specifically, it inserts ".."s into relative names if required, provided that this doesn't involve going through the root directory ("d:\" or "\\atlas\temp") When attribute data clauses are used in a filter, MicroGDS could behave incorrectly in various ways. This is now fixed. Printing more reliably determines if the printer is colour or monochrome. Print preview displays in the correct colour mode for the chosen printer. MicroGDS now handles importing zero length AutoCAD text primitives,and AutoCAD polyface meshes with missing vertex records. It also correctly handles polylines with up to 4095 vertices. Drawing could occasionally produce unexpected results especially on a multiprocessor PC. Editing an instance object could sometimes cause MicroGDS to crash. A problem with using OLE objects in conjunction with auto-backup has been fixed. We have provided a workround for a bug in Windows XP which causes external characters to be mis-positioned (this affects Far-Eastern character sets only). CadLineTo with a setedit restriction now forms connected lines in the same way as earlier releases. A Cadlink program listening for command callback events could fail to draw rubberbanded graphics correctly. This is now fixed. CFGetObjectMetaFile() no longer has a limit of 32767 for link numbers.
