QUALITYMechanism Reconstruction Guarantees Excellent Quality

Mechanism Reconstruction• Essence： Reconstruct the bottom structure, instead of fixing individual bugs.• Result： Problems that cannot be fixed in current ZWCAD have disappeared

automatically under new mechanism. • Significance：

– Lowers the rate of problem occurrence， and brings a smooth user experience；– Enhance the function efficiency, multi-thread processing keeps software stable

under fast operations– New problems will be easier to find out and solve。

Mechanism Reconstruction (Offset)

• Result： The same algorithm， the same experience as AutoCAD• Sample：

Mechanism Reconstruction (Snap)

• Result：Make object snap to be fast, stable and accurate!• Sample： Important problems in different area, which are difficult to fix in old

ZWCAD

Snap unavailable in certain drawings

Snap From is not working

Snap to Region object is unstable

Snap to nested block gets wrong

SNAP

Mechanism Reconstruction(UNDO)

• Result： The phantom problem of Undo/Redo gets solved ultimately

• Description： The improvement of Undo mechanism has enhanced the operating speed and stability a lot, and solved those problems like cannot undo/redo or undo back to the beginning.

Mechanism Reconstruction (Display)• Result： Display precision and regeneration speed has almost reached the

AutoCAD level, which provides a smooth and fluent experience• Sample：Precision Improvement Speed Improvement

Easy Transplant• Result： Code-Level compatibility between ZRX and ARX；

LISP can be used directly。• Sample： 1. ZWCAD+ Mechanical——5 people， 1 week to

complete the transplant

2. Block attribute extraction program

ZRX ARX

Harmless to Efficiency• Result： The running speed of transplanted programs has no

difference compared to AutoCAD• Sample： UCS rotating program
