VERSION 7

Version 7.2.2

• Fixed the problem that URL links did not show correctly the tooltips
• Fixed the background color problem that CV did not display correctly for dwf 00.36
• Added the capability to read Greek characters in the dwf drawings
• Fixed the printing problem that if drawing was printed out for some drawings, a weird pattern of circles were all over the place. The circles were not in the original drawing, and didn't show when the dwf file was seen in the viewer on-screen, they only appeared when printed.
• Fixed the bug that CADViewer could not display some compressed binary dwf 5.5 files
• Fixed the bug that CADViewer does not display filled polygons
• Added parameter "URLClick" to control the number of clicks for URL links
  • <param name="URLClick" value="single">
  • Available values: "single" and "double"
  • The default value is "single"
• Fixed the problem with the measurement tool that there are artefacts (stray green cross hairs and diagonal lines) when the mouse is moved over the drawing but the mouse button is not clicked
• Added new parameter "redlinefilledgreyscale" with value "enable" to have redline filled objects always printed in grey scale. The default is to print redline filled objects with their current color.
  • <param name="redlinefilledgreyscale" value="enable">
  • Available values: "enable" and "disable"
• Added new parameters "conversionparameters_autox", "conversionparameters_hpx", "conversionparameters_acrox", "conversionparameters_dgnx", "conversionparameters_acrowhip" and "conversionparameters_autowhip". These parameters are used exclusively with "conversionparameters" in case that different drawing format are loaded in the same session. For example, If a dwg file is opened, parameter "conversionparamters_autox" will be used. Then later a pdf file is loaded, param "conversionparameters_acrox" will be used. If one expects that users will open dwg, dgn and pdf files, then the html that launches CADViewer should contain:
  • <param name="conversionparameters_autox" value="-B 1 -R">
  • <param name="conversionURL_acrox" value="-B 1">
  • <param name="conversionURL_dgnx" value="-B 0">
• Fixed the problem that when measurement scale was set, it scaled the original units instead of the current units
• Fixed the problem that when Black/White button was clicked twice, the background color became white
• Fixed the problem that the measurement highlight yellow box is not consistently large enough for the complete measurement value to be displayed and the 'T' in the word 'Total' was truncated. The highlight yellow box is now displayed at the center of CADViewer screen to avoid being cut off when the box is displayed near the edge of the screen
• Fixed the problem that CADViewer does not display drawing that its name contains one or more blank spaces
• Added new module to read "symbol" font and this module enables CADViewer to read Greek letters
• Added new parameter "textrotation2" to have rotated text displayed with "times" font. The default font of rotated text is "romans". This new parameter requires to have folder "fonts" in the codebase folder. The values for this parameters are "disable" and "enable".
• Added new parameters "conversionURL_autox", "conversionURL_hpx", "conversionURL_acrox", "conversionURL_dgnx", "conversionURL_acrowhip" and "conversionURL_autowhip". These parameters are used in conjunction with "conversionURL" in case that the converion programs are installed on different servers. For example, if autoxchange, hp2xchange are installed on a Linux server, acroxchange is installed on an Unix server and dgnxchange is installed on a Windows machine, then the html that launches CADViewer should contain:
  • <param name="conversionURL" value="http://linuxserver.com/serlvet/ConversionServlet">
  • <param name="conversionURL_acrox" value="http://unixserver.com/serlvet/ConversionServlet">
  • <param name="conversionURL_dgnx" value="http://windowsserver.com/cgi-bin/ConversionCgi.pl">
• Fixed the problem that line thickness and line pattern did not display correctly
• Added new parameter "progressbar". If this parameter is used, CADViewer will dislay a progress bar telling users that the drawing is loading
• <param name="progressbar" value="enable"
• Default value is "disable"
• Fixed the bug that CADViewer was very slow when it generated the print output
• Fixed the bug that CADViewer was halted when it opened some dwf 6 files

Version 7.2.1

• Added new parameter "redlineparams". If this parameter is used in conjuntion with parameter "save_redline_to_url" ,CADViewer allows administrators to have a complete control of all saving redline parameters. The values are in the form of a list delimited by '&' character . The only parameter provided by CADViewer in addition to this list is the parameter "red". "red" is a reserved parameter for CADViewer and its value is the content of the redline file.
  • The following is an example of how to use parameter "redlineparams" and "save_redline_to_url" to send user define parameters back to the server together with the redline content
  • <param name=redlineparams value="param1=value1&param2=value2&param3=value3&...&paramN=valueN">
  • <param name=save_redline_to_url value="http://www.xyz.com/cgi-bin/any_cgi_script.cgi>
  • If parameter "redlineparams" is not used with parameter "save_redline_to_url", then CADViewer takes all user defined parameters following the '?' after the script name and adds other CADViewer reserved parameters such as "dn","na","saveURL" and "saveLocation"
• Fixed the problem that when the parameter "background_color" was set in the html or in the viewer.cfg file, then the set_background_color button did not function
• Fixed the problem that arcs were shifted
• Fixed the problem that layers list sorted in unsorted order
• Fixed the problem that if 'Display Black/White' was clicked a 2nd time after a non-default background color had been selected, the display reverted to white.
• Fixed the problem that if Print Black/white was selected, then the dwf file objects were printed in black/white, but redline objects were printed in greyscale.

Version 7.1.7

• Delete WPrint.dll and WPrintNNN.dll when applet is initialized

Version 7.1.6

• Added "Scaled to fit" to the print to scale print dialog
• Added "Forced graphic to bw" to the print screen dialog

Version 7.1.4

• Added parameter "socketread" to fix the problem that CV cannot open files from Linux server & client
  <param name="socketread" value="enable">
• Added parameter "cvstate" to have CV reporting back to the html page via javascript function CVstate(statestring) the state of the current action fucntion when a API button is pressed
  <param name="cvstate" value="enable">
• Added parameter "drawingserverport" to force CV to use this port to get the drawing from the server
  <param name="drawingserverport" value="444">
• Added parameter "cvready" to report back to the html page via a javascript function CVread(dummy) that CV is loaded and CV is ready for API calls
  <param name="cvready" value="enable"&gl
• Removed Version Checking
• Added a new API parameter:

  SetAppletParameter(String param, String value)

  This parameter will either overwrite the existing parameter defined in the
  html file or create a new one if the parameter is not defined.

  Here is the example on how to use it

  <script language=javascript>
  function openfile()
  {

  document.applets[0].SetAppletParameter("preload_readonly_redline","./v7pro/d
  emo.red;./v7pro/demo2.red;");

  document.applets[0].SetAppletParameter("open_redline_with_drawing","initial"
  );

  document.applets[0].SetAppletParameter("load_redline_from_url","./v7pro/demo
  4.red;");
  document.applets[0].OpenFile("./v7pro/demo.dwf");

• Add parameter "polylinearrow". This parameter will determine where the arrow in the redlinepoly arrow will be put. The default location of the arrow is the first point. If the value="last", then the arrow will be placed at the last point of the polyline.
  • <param name="polylinearrow" value="last">
  • Available values are "last" and "first"

• Redline tools is now modified to make it easy to use. It can be drawn by the following ways. The first way is a single click and no release followed by a drag of the mouse to the desired size then a release of the button to place the object. The second way is a single click to start and then move the mouse to get the desired size and then a second click to place the object on the drawing. There is an exception for polyline and polyline arrow tools. These two tools require a click and release to initiate the object, subsequent click and release will draw an edge of the polyline and a double click to place the object on the drawing

Version 7.beta.19

• Added java API call RedlineSaveFile(String filePath) to save redline file locally. The "filePath" must be an absolute path (i.e c:\temp\demo.red)

Version 7.beta.17

• Fixed the RedlineHighlight() consistency. This tool used to require a single click and no release followed by a drag of the mouse to the desired size then a release of the button to place the object. It's fixed and it's required a single click and release to initiate the redline object and then a move of the mouse to the desired size followed by a double click to place the object on the drawing.

• Fixed RedlineHighlight() select problem.

• Fixed the problems that the "RedlinePolylineArrow" tool does not work correctly with the "RedlineThickness" tool and the "RelineLine" does not draw.
