The enhanced Auto Labelling tool now lets you choose where the textgoes relative to the Plant’s centre and with all label types younow get to see what your labels will look like before you placethem. In Concept Planting you can edit the headings anddescriptions and the labels know which plants are the same and whathas and hasnt been labelled. Very clever and easy to use.
Fully Customise your Plant Schedules
LANDWorksCAD v6 lets you create Customised Schedules Types withyour desired display columns as well as different text and headingstyles and sizes. Save each of the combinations with a differentname for future use. V6 gives you more logical sizing options andhaloing of heading text. Fully export the schedule data to an Excelfile for use in other applications such as costing.
Beautiful Automated Shadows
Add instant depth and artistry to your plans with the completelynew instant shadow tool. Uniquely choose from a range of suppliedshadow styles and shapes or create your own. We have pre-set v6with the most commonly used shadow shape (half-moon) but you canassign any shape to each plant as desired.
Set the location of the Sun to get the correct shadow angle foryour design or just rotate the shadow settings with your mouse forthe best visual effect in your drawing.
LANDWorksCAD Stand-Alone Users: EnhancedToolBox
If you use LANDWorksCAD stand-alone version (the one based onRealCAD) and NOT the LANDWorksCAD for AutoCAD or BricsCAD you willgreatly appreciate the Enhanced Toolbox.
Add White-Out to your drawings to cover unwanted areas withoutdeleting any entities. Use the White-Out tool to mask a bitmap orjust remove the overlapping detail of a group of trees.
Have you ever inserted a plane, point to point only to find youmissed a corner? No problem. Now just Add a new vertex to theexisting Plane and drag it to where you want. No need to delete andre-insert.
Ever make a mistake half way through inserting a plane? Again noproblem, simply move the vertex to a new location or delete anunwanted vertex from your plane. Point to point planes can now beedited like sheets of elastic. Really cool.
