hsCADCreator has two type of downloads available for install. You have "Evaluation Version" download installed on computer. Please download and install the "Full Version" of hsCADCreator. When you run the "Full Version" hsCADCreator first time, it will ask you to enter your licensing information and unlock the software.

hsCADCreator has Auto Save feature. The default time settings for Auto Save is 5 minutes. Whenever Auto Save saves any file, it resets currently active tool. You can disable Auto Save feature or increase the time interval from Options ÆSettings... Menu item.

You might have pressed "Cancel" button or "Esc" key on your keyboard after you were done adding your objects through Library Tools/Manage Diaglogs. hsCADCreator assumes that when you "Cancel" or "Esc" any Library Tools/Manage Diaglogs, you want to cancel all your changes that has been made through that dialog. After adding desired objects through Library Tools/Manage Diaglogs, use "OK" button in order to save your changes to drawing.

Nothing is wrong. Just try refresh your view with "Regen" tool and your saved linestyle(linetype) will be shown properly.

Check and make sure that your entities are not being drawn on a hidden layer. The current layer is shown in tool properties under "Entity Defaults".

Just try refreshing your view with "Regen" tool.

You might have mouse software installed that allows you to configure actions on different mouse buttons. Change Middle Button's action to "Middle Click" to be able to "Pan" using middle mouse button. These settings are accessible in Mouse Properties of your Operating System. Mouse Properties are located under Control Panel.

The snap settings shown on Snaps Tab are only valid for current drawing. If a user wants to set hsCADCreator's Entity Snaps they can be accessed from Options ÆSettings... Menu item. Every time a new drawing is opened, it sets default entity snaps from hsCADCreator's Entity Snaps. Snap settings changed through Options ÆSettings... Menu item will be saved with hsCADCreator and will be activated everytime a new drawing is opened.

May be your linetype scale is not set properly. Select the targeted entity and increase Linetype Scale under selection properties.

If the block definition is made up of entities that are on layers other than "0", those entities retain their original layer behaviour.  To have correct behaviour on hide/show layer and selection for block insertion entities, always make blocks from entities those are on layer "0".

Make sure that layer of block insertion entity is not hidden/frozen. If the block definition is made up of entities that are on layers other than "0", those entities retain their original layer behaviour.  To have correct behaviour on hide/show layer and selection for block insertion entities, always make blocks from entities those are on layer "0".

Defpoints layer is created by hsCADCreator. This layer defines points used by dimension entitiies. Since Defpoints layer is created and used by system, this layer should not be deleted. To restrict access to system created layers, the "delete" button is disabled. You can not delete this layer.

Grip Points for entities are only shown when:

1. Only Selection Tool is active. i.e. You are not using Selection Tool as part of Move Tool, Rotate Tool, etc.

2. The selected entities are not on OFF/FROZEN/LOCKED layer.

Block Insertion Entity is always created from Block Definition Object. Block Definition Object preserves original layer of its individual entities except system default layer ("0"). Due to this reason, eventhough Block Insertion Entity is on "Blocks" layer, its' individual entities are on different layers (original layers of entities). You can hide entities by either turning OFF the original layer, OR by FREEZING "Blocks" layer.

This can be achieved by creating a Dimension Style Object for required format. By default, the Angular Dimension Tool uses "ISO-25" Dimension Style Object. ISO-25 dimension style specifies decimal places in angular dimension as 0.

1.

Use Manage Dimension Styles through menu or Library Toolbar to access Dimension Style Dialog. Create New dimension and select it. Change name to required name(eg. myAnglularDimension). Scroll down on right hand pane to find "Dimension Text" properties. Click on "+" sign in front of "Dimension Text" to expand it. Set "Text Size" property to an appropriate value(eg. 2.0). Scroll down on right hand pane to find "Angular Dimensions" properties. Click on "+" sign in front of "Angular Dimensions" to expand it. Change "Precision (Angle)" property to required number of decimal places in angular measurments. Now activate Angular Dimension Tool. Specify Dim Style to be required dimension style(eg. myAngularDimension). Create new dimension.

There can be 2 resolutions for this:

The property tree gets rebuilt when a grip is used.  The units will return to the drawing default for that unit class.

The Nearest Entity Snap only works on current/active UCS-plane. Change your UCS to align with entity in question using modify UCS tools and then try to use Nearest Entity Snap.

Trim Tool trims entities on the side that is closest to the point where mouse button is released (in order to finish the box selection). Try trimming single entity or only few entities at at time such that mouse release point is close to the side that needs to be trimmed.

Measure Area Tool can not measure area of non-planar/self intersecting polygons correctly. The best way to calculate correct area is to dis-integrate the required polygon into simple polygons conceptually and then use Measure Area Tool with Continuous Mode ON to find total area of polygons.
