Key features of ARES Commander 2016 are:• Quick Input: Enter coordinates, angles and distances right next to the cursor. Quick Input also displays dynamic information about lengths, angles, prompts and options. • Annotation Scaling: Annotative scaling adjusts the size and scale of the dimensions, texts, hatches and blocks to the scale of each viewport. • Drawing Tabs: Drawing Tabs are now displayed at the top of the drawing window area. When flying the cursor over one tab one can see a preview of the drawing and its different layouts to switch quickly to the desired view.• DGN Import: The Import DGN command inserts content from DGN files (V7 or V8) as a block in the drawing. It offers a higher interoperability with other professionals.• LayerState Manager: The new LayerState Manager allows to create and name different scenarios for layers to easily switch between them. One can hide some layers and change the colour to show different aspects of the same project.• More XtraTools Commands: A new group of productivity-driven commands. Besides PatternHatch and CurvedText or the utility tools for blocks some of these features include break lines, convert a single line text into a multiline one, make LineStyles by specifying entities, and a lisp explorer.
