News X-PAD Ultimate release 4.0.701

March 2019

 

General

·       Small bugs: fixed some small bugs in some parts of the software.

·       Area in feet: fixed an error on calculating the area in feet units.

In such situations a warning icon will appear on the bottom right of the graphic area; by clicking on the icon it is possible to define the main working area. The “Zoom all” commands return the working are view instead of the full view and also the visualization of the objects inside the working area it is perfect.
