The new DataCAD LT 12 with Smart Entities for creating walls, doors, and windows lets you change the width of walls directly without having to erase and redraw them. You can also change the hinge side or direction of a door swing simply by editing its properties. When you remove a window, the associated wall automatically heals itself. Any changes you make in 2D are immediately updated in 3D.

In addition to new "smarts", here are the DataCAD LT 12 new feature highlights:

Multi-line Text ( a.k.a. MText )
A new multi-line text entity ( with support for TrueType and SHX fonts ) provides wrap-around text boundaries and the ability to uniquely format text within the same paragraph such as font, size, bold, italic, underline, overline, color, alignment, and line feed factor.

Font Dialog Enhancements
An enhanced Font Dialog allows you to save and load text styles. You can also access settings such as All Caps, Plot Scale, and Line Feed Factor options that were previously available in the main Text menu only.

SHX Font Support
DataCAD LT 12 provides native support for SHX fonts ( Your existing CHR fonts are automatically converted to SHX format the first time you run DataCAD LT 12 ).

SketchUp File Import
DataCAD LT 12 provides direct support for SketchUp files. Now you can easily add models you've created in SketchUp to your DataCAD projects. When you insert SketchUp files, DataCAD LT 12 automatically extracts materials and bitmap textures from the SketchUp file and embeds them into your DataCAD LT drawing. You can also convert SketchUp files to o2c format for raytraced visualization.

o2c Rendering Settings Enhancements
In addition to rendering by color or by layer, you can also assign material definitions on a per entity basis. Material definitions are now embedded in your drawing in a central location. So you can easily assign the same material to multiple entities.

New Ready2Render Symbols
New 3D symbols added to DataCAD LT 12 include pre-assigned materials and textures so they are ready to render as soon as you add them to your model. In addition, we've updated many of the existing 3D symbols so they are "ready-to-render" as well.

New Seamless Textures and Backgrounds
DataCAD LT 12 includes new seamless textures and background photos to add realism to your renderings.

3DS Export
Now you can export your DataCAD models, complete with materials, to 3DS format for use in third-party rendering programs.

Object Snapping Enhancements
DataCAD LT 12's object snapping mechanism has been completely re-written to provide faster response times in larger drawings and to eliminate previous limitations. It is now possible to snap between and within symbols and XREFs (including nests). You can also snap to polyline bulge centers and XClip boundaries. A new dynamic snap indicator displays available object snap locations in real-time.

Pen Styles / Pen Widths
Based on the Windows line type format, you can now apply scale-independent patterns to your DataCAD line types. These patterns are compatible with the Windows Metafile format and convert directly to Adobe PDF format.

Plotting Enhancements
Your current plotter and Quick Layout settings can now be saved to a file and loaded into other drawings. You can also assign unique pen tables to specific scales. So large-scale drawings and details can have thicker pens and small-scale drawings can have thinner pens.

Compatibility with prior versions of DataCAD
DataCAD LT 12 can open any prior version drawing files including DC3, DC5, DC+, and AEC formats. You can also use your existing layer files, symbols, fonts, line types, and hatch patterns with DataCAD LT 12.
