A named view created with the VIEW command consists of a specific magnification, position, and orientation. In each drawing session, you can restore the last view displayed in each viewport.
The reason why the DWG is not showing the preview of the drawings in GstarCAD is because GstarCAD needs to save the thumbnail. The way to save the thumbnail is Tools>Options>Open and then Save.
.dwg is the default drawing format of GstarCAD; at present, GstarCAD is compatible with ever version of .dwg and .dxf files from 2.5 to 2010, it is means GstarCAD is compatible from AutoCAD 2.5 to AutoCAD 2012. If you are using AutoCAD 2013, you have to exchange the file with GstarCAD and save it as earlier .dwg version before 2010. By the way, GstarCAD will be compatible with AutoCAD 2013 soon.
GstarCAD MC is mainly designed for viewing drawings, it can read .dwg, .dxf and OCF files, but cannot save drawings. GstarCAD MC Pro can read .dwg, .dxf and OCF files; and it has a lot of extended functions for communicate and design on site.

Auto backup system use an original file format (suffix is dwh) which is a new vector drawing format created by GstarCAD. Compared with dwg file it creases the auto backup speed. For example: the backup speed is about 1 second if the file size is within 10M. this make timely backup system be at real time(such as: make a auto backup each 5 minutes)
Arrangements of model viewports can be saved and restored by name.You don't have to set up viewports and views every time you need them.

ARX programs which are based on AutoCAD platform cannot run on GstarCAD directly, GRX is for GstarCAD, GRX has high compatibility with ARX, usually, and it can be used on GstarCAD platform after just a little modification.
Yes, GstarCAD has more than 100 functions in Express Tools which are similar to AutoCAD, and some of them are GstarCAD unique features such as drawing compare,GstarCAD tools. All of them help engineers work more efficiently.
