NijiCAD v1.3.9 has been released​

The STRETCH command now supports multiple selection regions, allowing for more flexible and precise stretching operations.

Previously, only the first crossing selection was recognized as a valid stretch region. This is standard behavior in many CAD applications. When you couldn't select all the target vertices in a single pass, you often had to use the Crossing Polygon (CP) selection method.

While the CP method is common, it requires careful focus to specify the exact area, and it's easy to make mistakes or include unintended vertices.

With the new multi-region support, you can calmly add selection areas one by one, ensuring that you capture exactly the vertices you want. Furthermore, specified regions are displayed with a subtle background fill, allowing you to confirm their relationship with the drawing geometry as you work.

This update also increases the utility of Window Selection for stretching. You can now sequentially add areas to your selection using window selection as well.

A real-time preview is displayed during the stretch operation, making it much easier to visualize the final result. We encourage you to give it a try.

Additionally, we've introduced the STRETCHREGION system variable to toggle the visibility of these selection regions. This is currently an experimental feature, added for users who might find the visual feedback distracting. If you notice any flickering or prefer a cleaner look, you can turn it OFF. This is a preference setting that is persisted in the Pro version.

Key Updates​

  • Support for multiple region specification in the STRETCH command
  • Addition of the STRETCHREGION system variable for region display control
  • Added Training MISSION 11 data

We are very grateful for the feedback and requests we receive through comments and the Microsoft Store. Our future direction is becoming clearer. We plan to sequentially implement standard dimensioning features such as Angular, Radial, and Diameter dimensions. We are also exploring new initiatives unique to NijiCAD, so please stay tuned for future updates!
