EnglishUnidrafX / UnidrafG Series
Information on new functions and operations
Introducing the Unidraf series with added new features.
New features and improvements will be added sequentially through program support, and the latest version will be provided.
1.Built-in symbols／Built-in formats
Creating in the new data format(ZMX/PDG)incorporates and saves the symbols and formatting on the drawing on each page.
Because it does not depend on the original symbol and format files, data management and transfer, which previously required careful handling, is now much easier than ever before.
It is now possible to edit symbols and formats on drawings individually, freeing you from the trouble of having to prepare multiple similar symbols or drawing them using the free function when you cannot register a symbol due to various restrictions. Edited symbols are reflected in various automatic and search functions in the same way as conventional symbols.
2. Icon design and size changed
We've changed the icons to a monochrome color and revamped the design to improve visibility.
We've also enlarged the size as much as possible to make them easier to see on high-resolution monitors.
3.Automatic auxiliary lines
When placing symbols or drawing shapes with various drawing commands, auxiliary lines are automatically generated by simply moving the cursor to the intersection, endpoint, symbol origin, etc.
These auxiliary lines will be automatically removed when you complete the work, eliminating the need to set "Drawing Auxiliary Line" and "Grids" in advance and then delete them later, as was previously necessary.
4.Directly modifying symbol attributes
When multiple attribute characters exist for a symbol in a drawing, it was necessary to skip to the desired symbol attribute when changing it, but by holding down the [Alt] key and clicking, the desired attribute character can be easily changed.
5.Change color when you hover over it
When the cursor is moved over a symbol or element in the “Data Selection” command, the color of the data changes. This allows you to know in advance whether the cursor position is selectable or not, thereby reducing selection errors.
※ Data colors can be set as desired in "Environment" - "Color"
6.New filter bar
The new "Filter Bar" has been created, and the following icons have been added.
When using "Data Selection", you can switch targets by clicking.
・［Filter String Limit］
When "ON" is selected, only the character string is applied.
・［ON/Off of the Filter for Drawing Auxiliary data］
When "ON" is selected, construction lines/auxiliary points are also included in the selection.
・［Complete range selection］
The right-click menu "Complete range selection" has been added as an icon.
7.Automatic scale conversion when copying and pasting
When copying and pasting data between pages with different scales, it was necessary to use the "scale change function" to make adjustments, but now it is possible to automatically convert and paste the data based on the scale of each page.
8. "Data Selection" Command Enhancements
［Data Selection］:The following features have been added to the command
・Added add only/exclude only functionality
After selecting data, if you specify the range again to add or remove selected data, the selection state is inverted, making it difficult to select only the desired data. However, by using "Ctrl" together with the key, you can only add, and by using "Shift" together with the key, you can only remove.
・Switching selection method by cursor movement
The selection method for "Data Selection" changes depending on whether "Complete range selection" is on or off, but now you can use the cursor to select the desired method without having to change the settings each time.
1. When the starting point of the range specification is the top left or bottom left --- Select with current settings
2. When the starting point of the range specification is the top right or bottom right --- Select the opposite of the current setting。
9. Insert Row / Delete Row
The "Insert Row" and "Delete Row" commands have been added to the Electrical Circuit commands.
After selecting the command, you can insert/delete the next line of circuit by clicking or pressing the "Enter" key.
・[Insert Row]
After selecting the command, click anywhere or press the "Enter" key to insert
a blank row and move the following circuit down one row.
・[Delete Row]
After selecting the command, click anywhere or press the "Enter" key to delete
a blank row and move the next circuit up one row.
10. Improved display of right menu
The after selecting data, you had to always place the cursor on the reference point and then right-click to display the menu, but now it is possible to display the menu without placing the cursor on the reference point. This is a very common operation, so it can now be performed much faster.
"Corner point Change" "Line Expansion/Reduction" "Slide" commands that require a reference point, such as , will still need to align to the reference point as before.
11. Symbol Bar Enhancements
[Symbol Bar]The following features have been added
・”Redister limited range list” added
In "Redister limited range list" has been added to the right-click menu on a symbol in the symbol bar.There need to open "Set" - "Limited Setting" on the symbol bar and enter the symbol number manually, but you can add it by simply double-clicking the name in the list.
・Support for AND search in ”Name”
In the "Name" section on the symbol bar, you can now perform AND searches by separating multiple keywords with spaces. Previously, you had to enter part of the symbol name exactly, but now you can search by partial matches of each keyword, so it's much easier than before to find the symbol you're looking for.
・Added "blank" on/off to symbol barbr>
従来はPreviously, you had to turn it on/off in the "Set" on the symbol bar, but now that "Blank" have been added to the symbol bar, it's easier to switch.
ON --- Show Whitespace OFF --- Hide Whitespace
12.Improved character ”Numbering Setting”
The following features have been added to ”Numbering Setting”.

The "Character" - "Horizontal Writing" command is executed, and the text can be positioned according to the settings.
・"AlterChar" icon
If you wanted to use the Numbering function to change all the text that has already been placed on a drawing at once, you previously had to set the numbering and then select the "Character" - "Horizontal Writing" command, but now you can immediately make the changes by clicking the [AlterChar] icon.
13. "Copy Source File Name" can be changed
The ”Copy Source File Name” recorded when copying a page from another drawing file was previously uneditable, but can now be freely edited.
We have added a new function, [Batch Alteration for Basic Drawing information], which allows you to delete information on multiple pages at once.If you do not need this record when copying pages, you can do so by turning off [Environment] - [Keep orginal drawing information when copying from other drawings].
14."Exclude from the workspace all that are not selected" has been added.
"Exclude from the workspace all that are not selected " has been added to the right-click menu on the project bar.This allows you to leave the selected drawing files and remove all other drawing files from the Project Bar at once.
15. Skip blank pages when paging
従来はWhen next page, if a blank page exists, a new page was automatically created, but now it is skipped and the next page is displayed.
