Latest Updates

August 12th 2022
The Quick Line command was updated to include the following improvements

  1. The elevation of a snapped 3D line is now shown and made available for acceptance - before it was not displayed. This makes the 3D snapping more intuitive to use.
  2. When you have Plan and 3D views open at the same time in tiled form, you can now draw in either window snapping to 3D lines or 2D lines as needed. Before the command would appear to lose focus when you moved from one window to the other.
