MicroCAD 1.1 - Summary of Changes in Version 1.1 (January 1992)
---------------------------------------------------------------
The following is a supplement to the standard program instructions.
For full instructions, refer to MICROCAD.DOC.
Mouse Driver Support
--------------------
Version 1.1 includes changes to compensate for differences between
mouse driver versions. It has been tested to operate in a consistent
manner with Microsoft versions 6.14, 6.25, 7.00 and 7.04, and Logitech
versions 5.01 and 6.00.
Object Statistics
-----------------
Version 1.1 features a dynamic display of the cursor position and
current object dimensions and statistics. This allows objects to be
accurately placed, and drawn or re-sized to exact scale. For
details, refer to instruction 3.22.
Isometric Projection
--------------------
Version 1.1 introduces an isometric projection feature. Refer to
instruction 4.13. Also, object rotations are now permitted in
orthographic (and isometric) modes, in addition to perspective mode.
Miscellaneous Changes
---------------------
Changes the circle/ellipse re-size to use a fixed center point.
Changes the diagram tilt (pitch) and diagram spin (yaw) icons to
respond in a clockwise direction. This change does not impact the
orientation of existing diagrams.
Corrects the handling of diagram overflow conditions.
Returns to DOS in the original video mode instead of 80-column text
mode.
Improvements to the print drivers: Sets the device driver to binary
mode. Changes the printer error handling. Corrects the PaintJet
high-density encoding.
Minor changes and clarifications to the file format description.
