Decimal delimeter correction

  • Do not correct decimal delimeter - does not perform any actions with a separator.

  • Use dot '.' as decimal delimeter - automatically replaces the delimiter with a dot.

  • Use system locale decimal delimeter -in this case, the separator will be replaced with the symbol set in the system settings.

Create an activate standard text and deimension styles in new documents

Managing the creation of standard styles. The default setting is "Yes". Specifying the value "No" allows you to create new documents without predefined standard dimensional styles.

Explode Block References under drawing design elements

Yes - when overlapping objects nanoCAD Mechanica blocks nanoCAD break up.

No - when overlapping objects nanoCAD Mechanica blocks nanoCAD masked with the command wipeout.

Enable enchanced grips

When this function is enabled, additional handles are displayed on the objects nanoCAD Mechanica.

Set associativity during insertion of object

By default, the setting is enabled. When you turn off, the binding of the inserted objects to the primitives is inactive.

Example with dimensions. If the setting is enabled, then, when setting the dimensions on the line, the size will be associated with the line. When you change the line, the size changes.

Use localized abbreviations of command keywords

Abbreviations for the keywords of the commands are described in the file with the extension .pgp and are located in the installation location nanoCAD Mechanica

Highlight color

The color of the highlighting of primitives, when their indication is required. For example, the line's highlight when specifying a size for the placement.

Automatically switch keyboard layout to local language

When you call dialogs with fields nanoCAD Mechanica automatically turns on the layout set in the system settings.

Show rectangle around objects

Display control of the frame around objects nanoCAD Mechanica and blocks nanoCAD.

When this option is enabled, scaling is turned off Shift+RBM.

Automatically turn of snaps: Nearest, Endpoint, Quadrant, Center

Temporarily includes bindings when inserting objects nanoCAD Mechanica.

With the option disabled, the "Direction" toolbar may not work correctly.

Scale dimensions

Yes value:

1. The measurement scale specified in the "Dimensional Styles" on the "Primary units" tab is replaced by the measurement scale specified in the Design Settings - Main Options - Design.

2. The global scale specified in the "Dimension Styles" on the "Fit" tab is replaced by the design scale specified in the Design Settings - Main Options - Design.

The value is "No". The scale is not replaced.

Scale texts

The value is "Yes". When you change the scale using the Scale toolbar, the "Height" parameter in the "Text Format" dialog for the multi-line text and the command line for the single-line text proportionally changes.

The value is "No". When you zoom in using the Zoom toolbar, the Height option does not change.

Scale hatches

The value is "Yes". When zooming with the Scale toolbar, the Scale parameter in the Hatch dialog is proportionally changed.

The value is "No". When zooming with the Scale toolbar, the Scale option in the Hatch dialog does not change.

Ignored layers

Specifies layers nanoCAD, on which primitives will not overlap with objects nanoCAD Mechanica.

When you click on the ellipsis, the "Excluded Layers" dialog opens to edit the list of layers.

CAD drawing Edit 8

The dialog menu allows you to add a layer and enter it manually, delete a row with a layer or select a layer from the ones available in the drawing.

Unplotted layer

Specifies which layer the objects will be placed on nanoCAD Mechanica, which will not be printed.

Mini-toolbar for viewports

The nanoCAD Mechanicatoolbar control that appears when you right-click inside the viewport.

If the option is off, then when you right-click inside the viewport nanoCAD the standard menu will be called up nanoCAD.

Yes No

Sets the rule that when you double-click on object nanoCAD Mechanica, the editing dialog of this object will be called.

With the option disabled, the properties of the object are called.
