Computer Aided Design
Computer Aided Design (CAD) is the act of using computers to design an object. CAD techniques follow standard engineering design and drafting procedures, but use a computer to help speed up the process.

- Double-click a name or expression to edit it.
- Right-click and click Delete to remove a dimensional constraint parameter or user variable.
- Click a column heading to sort the list of parameters by name, expression, or value.
How do you use Mleader Align in GstarCAD?
Align Leader: Aligns and spaces selected multileader objects. After select this option, a prompt message will display > Select a multileader:

Does GstarCAD offer localization version?
Yes. There are more than 200,000 software installations in around 100 countries and regions, in order to help users design with GstarCAD more conveniently, we are preparing for more and more local versions. It contains Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Russian, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Hebrew and others. You can download it in the website if this local version has been released.
Is GstarCAD compatible with dwg?
.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.
What is the difference between the operation method of GstarCAD and AutoCAD?
The UIs, commands and operations of GstarCAD are almost the same with AutoCAD, if you've ever used AutoCAD, you will proficiently use it without any training.
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.
Where does GstarCAD save the auto saved files?
Open the "Tools>Options>Files" panel, there is an option of "Automatic Save File Location", the option records the path of current auto saved files. Users can change to other folders. Please make sure that the folder is writable first.
How do you switch the interface of GstarCAD to Classic interface?
From GstarCAD 2011, the Ribbon interface was added as the default interface, but the classic interface is still popular as well, so GstarCAD provides a convenient way to switch between them.
Way 1: Find "Style" at upper-right corner to select "Classic interface" in the menu. You can also select the interface style in it.
Way 2: Type the WS command, and input 3 for Classic interface, or input 1 for Ribbon interface.
How do you set and change the grid and snap space in gstarcad?
Grid and snap settings are effective tools to use in your drawing to ensure accuracy. Although many users find it convenient to match grid points to snap settings, they are independent of each other and should not be confused. Grid points are for visual reference only; they do not affect your drawing and they do not print. Snap points are, by themselves, not visible; however, when set, they constrain the creation of new entities.
Set snap spacing
Another way to ensure drawing accuracy is to turn on and set snap spacing. When snap is turned on, the program restricts the selection points to predetermined snap intervals. Although it is often helpful to match the snap spacing to some interval of grid spacing or another related setting, the settings do not have to match.
Change the snap and grid angle and base point
The snap and grid are both normally based on the drawing origin, the 0,0 coordinate in the World Coordinate System. You can relocate the snap and grid origin, however, to help you draw entities in relation to a different location. You can also rotate the grid to a different angle to realign the crosshairs to the new grid angle. If the grid is on, and the grid spacing is 0,0, then the grid defaults to the snap spacing.
How do you Get Drawing Information in GstarCAD?
Calculating distances and angles
You can calculate the distance between any two points you select. The following information is displayed:
The distance between the points, measured in drawing units.
Their angle in the xy plane.
Their angle measured from the xy plane.
The change (delta) in the x, y, and z distances between the two points.
To calculate the distance between two points and their angle
Do one of the following:
Choose Tools > Inquiry > Distance.
On the Inquiry toolbar, click the Distance tool .
Type distance and then press Enter.
Specify the first point.
Specify the second point.
How do you Define a Parallel Projection in GstarCAD?
You can define a parallel projection.
To determine the point or angle in model space, you can
Choose a preset 3D view from the View toolbar.
Enter a coordinate or angles that represent your viewing location in 3D.
Change to a view of the XY plane of the current UCS, a saved UCS, or the WCS.
Change the 3D view dynamically with your pointing device.
Set front and back clipping planes to limit the objects being displayed.
Viewing in 3D is available only in model space. If you are working in paper space, you cannot use 3D viewing commands such as VPOINT,DVIEW,or PLAN to define paper space views. The view in paper space is always a plan view.
How do you do 3D Orbit in GstarCAD?
You can view the drawing object from different angle by using mouse or other pointing device to move drawing.
After you activate 3D navigate,you can pan and zoom at the same time.
During the operation of 3D navigate,any management and edit to entities in the drawing are forbidden
Press ENTER.ESC or click the right-mouse button to display shortcut menu,you can close 3D navigate by selecting "Exit"in shortcut menu.
Note:Raster image and OLE object can not been displayed in 3D navigate view.

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.
