How do you recover drawings when accident happens such as blackout or system crash in GstarCAD?
After the accidents, you can use "Start>Drawing Utilities>Drawing Recovery Manager" to open the auto saved files for recovering. If the recovery manager didn't start up properly, you will find the .sv$ file with same name under the auto save folder, change its extended name to ".dwg" to open it. Or, if the auto save file was not generated, you can find the .bak file with same name under the saving folder; change its extended name to ".dwg" to open it.
Will GstarCAD work properly on another PC if you change your computer?

After executing MLEADER command or selecting the icon in the leaders panel, a message will display in the command line> Specify leader arrowhead location or leader Landing first/Content first/Options
How do you Add Leader when using GstarCAD?
Add Leader: Adds a leader line to an existing multileader object. The new leader line is added to the left or right of the selected multileader, depending on the location of the cursor. You can perform this option by selecting add leader icon located in the leader panel.After select this option, a prompt message will display > Select a multileader:For example, selected the Mleader which contents the block D. Then specify the leader arrowhead location.
How do you use Mleader Collect in GstarCAD?

What are Dimensional Constraint Types by GstarCAD?
IUG_DimensionConstraintGstarCAD provides you eight Dimensional Constraint types:
Linear
Constrains the horizontal or vertical distance between points.
Linear(Horizontal)
Constrains the X distance between points on an object, or between two points on different objects.
Linear(Vertical)
Constrains the Y distance between points on an object, or between two points on different objects.
Aligned
Constrains the distance between points on an object or between two points on different objects.
Angular
Constrains the angle between line or polyline segments, the angle swept out by an arc or a polyline arc segment, or the angle between three points on objects.
Radius
Constrains the radius of a circle or arc.
Diameter
Constrains the diameter of a circle or arc.
Convert
Convert associative dimensions to dimensional constraints.
What step is not aided by the preparation of the work sheet?
The preparation of a work sheet does not aid in the finalization of financial statements. While a work sheet helps organize and adjust account balances and aids in the internal review process, the actual compilation and presentation of the financial statements require additional steps beyond the worksheet. These include ensuring compliance with accounting standards and conducting a final review for accuracy.
Should somebody make an gyroscope vehicle besides everyday vehicles?
Using a gyroscope in a vehicle has been among the favorite topics of science fiction writers for a long time, primarily because writers aren't necessarily competent engineers.
What would be the advantage of a gyroscope? There would be the possibility of recapturing some of the kinetic energy as the vehicle slows, especially if you could find a way to put that energy into the spinning gyroscope.
However, the extra mass of any gyroscope that would be able to store that much kinetic energy, would also make the vehicle far too heavy for practical operation.
If something like that were practical, automotive engineers would have jumped on it; but if you believe that there is a practical use of gyroscopes in automobiles, perhaps you could develop such a vehicle and make yourself rich.
Drafting is a 2D or 3D representation of a model or building that can be changed and modified to to the drawer's liking. It is common to use AutoCad in this and will be used by drafters and designers.
Can you use 2D modify commands to modify 3D model in autocad?
You can use 2D commands on certain 3D models while you are in 2d modelspace. Color, for instance, or lineweight. Elevation and thickness, as well, if the 3D model is built to do those. You can certainly use Erase, Change Properties and so forth.
Why should the tab order of controls in your application be logical?
