GstarCAD2012 Improves Raster Image Functionality to Bring Work Convenience



Beijing, China: May 8, 2012—Gstarsoft improved its functionality for raster image in GstarCAD2012, aiming at offering work convenience for designers to use or reuse raster images like scanned paper drawings, maps, satellite images, aerial photos and other similar digital data in their design.



Like the previously released versions, raster image functionality allows users to insert and view or display raster image as well as make modifications in their drawings. Users can zoom and pan or drag the image to control. In GstarCAD2012, this function has been enhanced in different aspects to make it more powerful.

Various image formats have been added into GstarCAD2012, including CALS-1 (.cal, .mil), RLC, PICT (.pct/.pict), Autodesk Animator (.fil/.flc). Besides, users’ computer won’t slow down if there are too many insertions of raster images due to the reasons that these images haven’t caused the burden to the system memory. What’s more, this version supports big size raster image insertion and greatly accelerates the uploading speed to preview.



In addition to above mentioned capabilities, another feature of this function in GstarCAD2012 is high-quality printout of drawings containing raster image to different formats like PDF. With print editor, users can adjust the output to their needs, for instance, the formats and size.

Besides raster image manipulation, some other exciting functions are also available such as dynamic block, pline boolean, text incremental copy, etc. To experience these powerful functions can download GstarCAD2012 for free at

Romanian Company Selects GstarCAD for Road Design



Beijing, China: May 9, 2012—GstarCAD enjoys high reputation in Romania in various industries including road design for good quality, technical support as well as guaranteed service. The application of a big Romanian company in road design is one of the successful cases that bring great benefits to Romanian customers.
Famous in road design
The company specializes in roads, highways, interchanges, railroads, area development, residential areas and industrial zones. With a history of 22 years in road design, this company has vast experience and knowledge in design. During these years, this company involved thousands of large and complex projects throughout Romanian.
Powerful and comprehensive functions meet various demandsIn order to select good design software, this company made some investigation about the market and focused on several options. They finally selected GstarCAD after muti-aspect comparison. Bucur, the IT manager of this company said: “The quality of the product is our prior consideration. After the test, we found that the some functions of GstarCAD are even more powerful and superior to other software.”
Especially, Deniş, the engineer of this company referred to plotting and hatching. He said: “In road design, entities as crossed areas, lane width, buildings, pavement, or streetlight, etc. are needed to be highlighted. With GstarCAD, I can hatch them with different element. Now I’m able to hatch in a more flexible way after upgraded to GstarCAD2012 since hatching with images, blocks and wipe-out is available.” When it comes to plotting, Deniş gets even more excited and satisfied. He said: “I should say that the plotting of GstarCAD is very intelligent. This function can automatically export all the images in the drawing according to their names for batch print. Amazingly, this function can also automatically split different images of the same file and rearrange them and recognize their scale. I can adopt directly some frequently-used virtual print drivers and print style sheets as well.”
Performance and reliability enable design more efficientAs the saying goes “speed is of the essence.” For this reason GstarCAD with high speed becomes the ideal choice of this Romanian road design company. No matter for quick reaction to users’ operation or mass data processing, GstarCAD is a cutting-edge product and ranks higher among others. Dorel, the designer of this company said: “When I start GstarCAD and upload a big picture or zoom, it only takes several seconds, without high requirement to the computer hardware! This saves me a lot of time, allowing me to concentrate on my design.” 

GstarCAD MC1.2 Officially Released



Beijing, China: May 15, 2012—With the release of GstarCAD MC1.1 for Apple’s IOS last year, this free Mobile Client has attracted users all over the world with its features and received high praise. As the leading 2D/3D CAD software provider, Gstarsoft today proudly launched GstarCAD MC 1.2, the latest upgrading version.
Compared with the previous version, GstarCAD MC 1.2 has been enhanced a lot. The highlight of this version in functionality is the capability of opening attachments in the email and sending email as well. After downloading the attachments from the mail, users can view and edit the .ocf format attachments in the GstarCAD MC 1.2 directly. Unlike the previous version that the converted .ocf files have to be transmitted to iPad & iPhone and iTouch through iTunes and data cable, this version supports email manipulation which brings more convenience. What’s more, sharing drawings becomes faster in this way.
In addition to the attachments in the email that are accessible, the .ocf files in various storage applications such as webpage, network hard drive and cloud computing storage are also approachable. Users can download the .ocf files from their storages, for example, Google Drive, SkyDrive, Baidu Network Disc etc. What’s more, users can also set up a synchronous path in their computers. The .ocf files can be synchronously transmitted to their storages as long as these files have been copied to this path.
The next version is also in development and will be released soon. Some powerful functions will be included in this version, such as operating on the new iPad which has high resolution, layers view, three-dimensional shading, etc.
