- Enhancements, Changes or Fixes for SETDRAW.EXE Ver 4.0 March 22, 1993
-
-
- SetDRAW 4.0 is a significant change from 2.1 and is designed to work with
- only CorelDRAW 4.0 and its INI files.
-
- Because Corel 3.0 will still be sold and supported by Corel, there will be
- two versions of SetDRAW sold and supported by Shooting Brick Productions.
- As SetDRAW 2.X is upgraded, its version number will become 3.X to match
- the version of Corel it works with.
-
-
- Enhancements:
-
-
-
- >>> To the Main interface:
-
- New overall design to reflect the many changes in the INI files.
-
- Many new controls were added. Each has a help button to explain
- their function and purpose.
-
- New controls: "Reduce on Import" Setting
- "Max Texture BitMap Size" Setting
- "Show Group Details" Setting
- "Italicize Read-Only Cells" On/Off
- "Highlight Top level Objects" On/Off
- "Full Screen Bitmap Thumbnail"On/Off
- "Fountain Fill Preset" File
-
-
- The Font settings section is gone because there is no longer a "Default
- Font entry in the INI file.
-
- Added "TrueType Enable" and "TrueType Only." It was in a dialog box that
- only appeared if the settings were TrueType off or Only.
-
-
- >>> To Edit Special Listings:
-
- Enlarged the text window so more information can be displayed. This text
- windows has a "spreadsheet grid" feel. This helps display columns of text
- items for easy reading.
-
- Replaced the Install/Show "WPG export" feature with "Show EPS Export Header"
-
- Added a print function so you can print whatever text is loaded.
-
- All buttons now work for evaluation period.
-
-
- Enlarged the "Edit Text" area for more "elbow room."
-
-
- Added a "Restore Missing Entries" feature (appears only when missing
- entries are being reviewed).
-
-
- >>> A new section was added that displays settings for the shared Corel 4.0
- print engine. Some controls were moved to this section from the Main
- interface but most are new.
-
- New Controls: "PostSript Overprint Black Limit" Setting
- "PostScript Driver" Listing
- "Dump Entire Bitmap" ON/Off
- "Color Curve" Directory
- "Color Circuit" Directory
- "CMYKtoRGB" File
- "RGBtoCMYK" File
- "Current Template" File
- "Color Output" File
-
-
- >>> Because of the new directory structure for Corel 4.0 system (a full
- install has more than 30 subdirectories), the Directory listings section
- was expanded to double its original size. The only directory listings that
- are not new are: "Config," "AutoBackup," "Fonts and Symbols," and
- "Filters," and "DRAW"
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Feature enhancements:
-
- SetDRAW will now "fluff" the filters listing. Whenever you change the
- "Filters" directory, SetDRAW visits the new directory and updates the
- filters list to enable or disable the entries according to what filters
- are in the directory.
-
-
- A similar feature for the symbols list is in the works.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Fixes
-
- 7/05/93 Fixed "Export to Tiff 4.2/50" setting - Now saves correct value
- 7/06/93 Fixed "PSDiver" Control - More funtionality, saves settings
- upon change and better dialog information.
