SmartSketch Version
10.0(2018)

Hot Fixes and Service Packs

  • With the new Place Offset and Dimension command, you can quickly place multiple stacked or chained lines that are offset at a driven dimension value from a selected line. SmartSketch automatically inserts the dimension value for each placed line, and you can easily edit the value to change the line location. For more information, see Place and Dimension Offset Graphics (CR-IM-59276).

Version 2018

  • The AutoCAD Background setting in the itacad.ini configuration file has been updated for defining a background color for blank entities. For more information, see Configuration File Settings for AutoCAD Translation. (P2 IM:56831)

  • Updated the functionality of the Merge References configuration file settings. When you merge references, image references are now also merged. For more information, see Configuration File Settings for AutoCAD Translation and Configuration File Settings for MicroStation Translation. (P3 IM:51673)

  • Usability improvements have been made to the Dimension Along custom command. You can now click anywhere on an element that intersects a curved object and the software automatically locates and displays the intersection point. This allows you, for example, to quickly measure the distance between intersecting objects along a B-spline curve. For more information, see Dimension Along a Curve. (P3 IM:57095)

  • Provided support for changing the text width using either the new Dynamic Width Factor mode on the Text Box ribbon, or the new Width factor option in Text Box Properties. As a text box property, the Width factor option additionally allows you to create new text styles with different text widths. For more information, see Change the Text Width and Paragraph Tab (Text Box Properties Dialog Box). (P3 IM:56842)

  • You can now place a driving dimension on the intersection of two elements. For more information, see Place a Driving Dimension. (P3 IM:51383)

  • SmartSketch now displays the high-color icons by default. To change the display back to the classic icon, select View > Toolbars > Classic Icons. (P3 IM:50373)

  • Added information about the Clipping Growth Boundary AutoCAD configuration setting in itacad.ini. For more information, see Configuration File Settings for AutoCAD Translation. (P3 IM:56818)

  • Added a round-off value of 5 for the unit of measure in the Dimension ribbon and for the following options in Dimension Properties and Format Dimension (P3 IT:50394):

    • Linear Units > Round-off

    • Linear Secondary Units > Round-off

    • Angular Units > Round-off

  • Removed the Stroke Dimension setting from the Configuration File Settings for MicroStation Translation topic. The software does not use Stroke Dimension for exporting to the MicroStation file format. (P4 IT:50262)

  • Updated information about layer mapping and exporting. Use the Layer Mapping Table to export to the MicroStation V7 DGN file format. For the MicroStation V8 DGN file format, SmartSketch translates layers to matching layer names. For more information, see Layer Tab (MicroStation Export Options Dialog Box). (P4 IT:50333)

  • Updated information and default settings for Read Default View and Write Default View settings in the itacad.ini and itmstn.ini configuration files. For more information, see Configuration File Settings for AutoCAD Translation and Configuration File Settings for MicroStation Translation. (P3 IT:50705)
