How long is the free charge period of GstarCAD Trial Version?
The free Trial period of GstarCAD is ONE month. During the free Trial period, all the functions are not limited; some functions of the software will be limited once the Trial Period expires. Therefore, please notice the hint of Trial Version on the title bar; the drawings will not be saved once free charge period expires. Even if you have bought GstarCAD Network version, in case the expiration prompts while software starts, please check the connection between server to avoid the situation that the drawings cannot be saved.
What is minimum and maximum segment size in 8086?
In 8086 microprocessor the total memory addressing capability is 1 mega bytes. For representing 1 mb there are minimum 4 hex digits are required i.e, 20 bits. but 8086 has fourteen 16-bit registers. That is there are no registers for representing 20 bit address. So,the total memory is divided into 16 logical segments and each segment capacity is 64 kb(kilo bytes). That is 16*64kb=1 mb.So,for representing 64 kb only 16 bit register is sufficient.
Where can CAD drafter jobs be found?
CAD drafters often work with engineers or architects. These CAD drafter jobs can be found in most large cities and where engineers and architects work.
How do you use Overview of DesignCenter in GstarCAD?
With DesignCenter, you can organize access to drawings, blocks, hatches, and other drawing content. You can drag content from any source drawing to your current drawing. You can drag drawings, blocks, and hatches to a tool palette. Source drawings can be on your computer, on a network location, or on a website. In addition, if you have multiple drawings open, you can use DesignCenter to streamline your drawing process by copying and pasting other content, such as layer definitions, layouts, and text styles between drawings.
With DesignCenter, you can
Browse for drawing content such as drawings or symbol libraries on your computer, on a networked drive, and on a web page
View definition tables for named objects such as blocks and layers in any drawing file and then insert, attach, or copy and paste the definitions into the current drawing
Update (redefine) a block definition
Create shortcuts to drawings, folders, and Internet locations that you access frequently
Add content such as xrefs, blocks, and hatches to a drawing
Open drawing files in a new window
Drag drawings, blocks, and hatches to a tool palette for convenient access
What is The Review of Tool Palette in GstarCAD?
Tool palettes are tabbed areas within the Tool Palettes window that provide an efficient method for organizing, sharing, and placing blocks, hatches, and other tools. Tool palettes can also contain custom tools provided by third-party developers.
How do you realize monochrome printing with GstarCAD?
GstarCAD controls the color and lineweight of the drawings' output by Plot style table. If the drawing is designed in multiple colors, you just need to set the output color as black when print it. GstarCAD provides some preset Plot style tables, if you need to print the drawings in monochrome; you just need to select monochrome.ctb then click the Edit button to adjust lineweight. If you want your drawings to use the same printing setting, you can save the CTB file.
Notice: Plot style table only controls the indexed color, if your drawings used true color; it is not controlled by Plot style table. If you want the true color can be printed according to the Plot style table, just click the "Advanced" button in the "Print" panel and check the "Use the transform from the true colour".
How do you Recover from a System Failure in GstarCAD?
A hardware problem, power failure, or software problem can cause this program to terminate unexpectedly. If this happens, you can restore the drawing files that were open.
If the program fails, you can save your current work to a different file. This file uses the format, DrawingFileName_recover.dwg, where DrawingFileName is the file name of your current drawing.
Resolve Drawing Files
After a program or system failure, the Drawing Recovery Manager opens the next time you start GstarCAD. Drawing Recovery Manager displays a list of all drawing files that were open, including the following drawing file types:
Drawing files (DWG)
Drawing template files (DWT)
Drawing Standards files (DWS)
For each drawing, you can open and choose from the following files if they exist
BackName_recover.dwg
BackName_a_b_nnnn.sv$
BackName.dwg
BackName.bak
Note:The drawing, backup, and recover files are listed in the order of their time stamps-the time when they were last saved.
How do you Create Blocks in GstarCAD?
You can insert block reference in the drawing according to your requirement after defining block in the drawing.
When you create a block, you specify its name, its insertion point, and the entities that compose the block. The insertion point is the base point for the block and serves as the reference point when you later insert the block into a drawing.
To create a block
Do one of the following:
Choose Draw>Block> Create Block.
On the Tools toolbar, click the Create Block tool .
Type block and then press Enter.
Type a name for the block, and then press Enter.
Specify the insertion point for the block.
Select the entities that you want in the block, and then press Enter.
The block is created and exists only in the current drawing. The entities you select are removed from the display, because they are now part of the block.
To restore the original entities to the drawing while retaining the new block, type undelete or oops.

Where is computer aided manufacturing used?
Computer-aided design (CAD), ICT and computer-aided manufacture (CAM) play a vital role in modern textiles production.
Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is the use of computer software to control machine tools and related machinery in the manufacturing of workpieces. CAM may also refer to the use of a computer to assist in all operations of a manufacturing plant, including planning, management, transportation and storage.[
examples:
Examples of CAD, CAM and ICT in textiles production- Textiles designs are stored electronically to ease repeat printing orders.
- Processes such as colour matching, dye weighing and fabric printing can be automated.
- Designs and information can be sent electronically on a global scale.
- CAD and CAM can be used to enhance accuracy of repetitive identical production.
Computer-numerical control (CNC) machines are used for printing, cutting, joining and other processes. CNC-automated machines can repeat processes with accuracy and reliability, and are easily re-programmed when changes are needed. Uses of CNC machines include:
- picking up fabric from store room
- spreading and cutting fabric
- labelling and transporting cut fabric pieces for assembly
- moving cut fabric pieces around the factory on an overhead conveyor
- automating processes like buttonholing or embroidery
- filling soft drinks bottles.
