New Methods:
Changes to Existing Methods:
  • SetConfigValue - Added value 77: Enable or disable drag and drop of files.
  • SetConfigValue - Added value 78: Enable or disable dimension line text confirmation dialog. If this option is enabled the control will ask the user to confirm or modify the text displayed for the dimension line after it has been drawn.
  • SetMouseAction - Added value 19: Clear a selected region in raster files.
  • SetPropertyDouble - Added id 20: Set new line width for given markup element. If the element is filled using a hatch pattern, the given line width will be used to draw this pattern.
  • GetPropertyDouble - Added id 20: Return line width for given markup element.
  • SetPropertyDouble - Added id 21: Set height of a measurement area element. This height can be used to include volume of an area.
  • GetPropertyDouble - Added id 21: Return current height for given measurement area element.
  • SetPropertyLong - Added id 13: Set include perimeter text flag. If non-zero the calculated perimeter will be included in the measurement area text.
  • GetPropertyLong - Added id 13: Return include perimeter text flag for given measurement area element.
  • SetPropertyLong - Added id 14: Set include volume text flag. If non-zero the calculated volume will be included in the measurement area text. Please note that a valid height must have been set for the given area element.
  • GetPropertyLong - Added id 14: Return include volume text flag for a measurement area element.
Other Changes:
  • The PDF exporter are now exporting arcs using Bezier curves and no longer converting all arcs to polylines.
  • Printing vector files with raster images (for example DWF or PLT) did always print the file as raster, even if this was not required. Printing such files will now create a smaller print job and complete faster.
  • Setting custom text using MarkupElementText method now works for measurement line and path.
  • The returned type for markup elements will now be different if the markup element was created using the pick path tool. For example markup type 23 elements will be returned as type 1023 if the element was created by MouseAction(14).
  • The scViewerDemo application was updated to support markup symbol libraries.
  • The scViewerDemo application was updated to demonstrate the new clear region tool for raster files.
  • The scViewerDemo application was updated to demonstrate the new PrintRegion method.
  • The scViewerDemo application will now allow you enter your serial number to keep the demo running after the trial period has ended.
