TechDraw September Release

Post by wandererfan »

A new version of TechDraw has been merged into master (many thanks to @wmayer) and should be available in the v0.17 updates shortly.

This is a massive change from the programming side, so there are bound to be some fixes required. From the user perspective
the main impacts are:
  • Fix #2967 Allow fcstd to open without drawing TechDraw::DrawPage
    -- add preference to start Pages in sync/unsync mode
  • Allow DrawPage updates to be suspended
    -- add property KeepUpdated and show different icon in tree if suspended (see attachment for icon)
  • Add RedrawPage command to Decoration toolbar (see attachment for icon)
  • Eliminate superfluous DPG executes
    - DrawProjectionGroup items should only recompute when then change
  • Add dumpSymbol method to DrawViewSymbol based classes
    -- this is mainly for debugging output from Arch/Draft

Awesome update. This will enhance greatly the workflow with many "heavy" TD pages
