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 Dimensions
-----------------
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.
Reduces the executable size from approx. 30K to approx. 23K. This is the
result of program reorganization and does not indicate removal of any
features from the prior version.
Minor changes and clarifications to the file format description.
