Performance Enhancement

GstarCAD 2025 introduces an incremental save mechanism, boosting SAVEAS speed by over 30% and QSAVE by more than three times.

File reading, display, and software initialization are optimized, improving average drawing opening speed by over 25%. TRIM and EXTEND performance on complex drawings improved by 69%, and HATCH display precision is also enhanced, eliminating excess lines in gradient and transparent hatch, ensuring a more efficient workflow.

DIM

To create various types of dimensions, you no longer need to switch between different commands.

Simply execute the DIM command, hover your mouse cursor over objects to see a dimension preview, click to confirm, and place the dimension.

This streamlines the annotation process and enhances efficiency.

3D Model Import & Export

On the basis of IFC Import, you can now export IFC files and import RVT files with complete BIM data, and STEP/IGES module will be included in GstarCAD installer, you don’t need to install it separately.

File & Layout Tab Bar

The File Tab Bar and Layout Tab Bar in GstarCAD 2025 have been updated with new appearances.

Additionally, indicators for “Read Only” or “Modified” files have been added too to provide clearer status visibility.

Lasso Selection

Lasso selection allows you to create an irregularly shaped window or crossing selection set, which is beneficial when selecting objects in complex drawings.

Window Selection has also been optimized by adding Fence, Window Polygon and Crossing Polygon options.

Undo

Continuous zooming, panning, and layer-related operations can be undone in one step, streamlining the workflow and reducing repetitive actions.

Batch Plot

The Batch Plot feature in GstarCAD 2025 has made comprehensive improvements based on user feedback to support a wider range of scenarios.
