You can now superimpose labels which update if you change the name of a block. These make it easier to keep track of of your city model, and to explain your city model to others.

Easier Import of Information into CityCAD

You can now import several DXF base maps at the same time, change the colour of each one, and switch then on or off as required.

Also, if you import images to place on the ground, and then trace over them with CityCAD routes, a couple of new features will make this easier. When adding images using 3 point positioning, new controls make it easier to place images more accurately.

Once dxf base maps or images are in position, new 'tracing' settings in the snap preferences makes it easier to draw over the image.

New Online Resources in the CityCAD 'General' Tab

Do you ever need to quickly convert scale factors, for example copy a drawing from 1:1250 to 1:500?

A revamped information service is now available in the General tab - here you can click through to several technical resources for converting scales, or different area units, or refer to standard paper sizes. Links are also available to several major news and information websites.
