| Service Release E for
IntelliCAD® 98 by Visio resolves several issues important to end users and developers
alike. This article summarizes the improvements provided. Service Release E updates release 1.0d of IntelliCAD 98 to release
1.0e. You can obtain Service Release E by downloading it from Service Releases & Updates
or by calling Visio Customer Service.
We recommend that everyone who uses release 1.0d of IntelliCAD 98 install Service Release
E.
IMPORTANT Service
Release E does NOT include the improvements provided by Service Release D. If you
have not already done so, you must install Service Release D before you install Service
Release E.
Improvements for end users
IntelliCAD 98 properly handles attempts to use an
object snap (OSNAP) on an external reference file (XREF) that contains blocks with 40 or
more intersections. It now displays an error message and allows you to continue working.
Solids in user-defined blocks and polylines with
width print properly in cases in which they did not print before.
IntelliCAD 98 properly handles attempts to create a
hatch that is too large or too dense. It now displays an error message and allows you to
continue working.
More user-supplied SHX fonts used outside the United
States (with characters above the 128 ASCII characters) display properly, rather than as
question marks.
IntelliCAD 98 handles negative DMS
(degrees-minutes-seconds) angles properly.
IntelliCAD 98 properly maintains changes to the
default list of command aliases.
Under Windows 95 and 98, IntelliCAD 98 prints
multiline text (MTEXT) to more printers properly, resolving the gr.dll issue that some
users experienced.
Improvements for developers
The (read-line) function handles the end of a
file properly by returning nil.
An sds_cbentmod callback no longer occurs when
a user uses an object snap (OSNAP) on a block.
You can now use the sds_command function to
execute a SHELL command and run another program or batch file.
