What's New:
New features
New features have been added to Microspot MacDraft 5.5 to enhance performance and improve
image and text quality. Features include Quartz Graphics with transparency, ATSUI text, import
picture as well as the ability to use the resize palette with pixel maps and paragraph text. These
features combined make MacDraft 5.5 a superior product for CAD and graphic design.
Quartz Graphics - MacDraft now uses Quartz Graphics, the native graphics engine for OS X.
The result is improved filling of curved shapes, superior line quality that now makes it possible
to see the difference between hairlines and one-point lines on screen.
Transparency - Transparency has been added and can be applied to lines, fills, double line
fills, text and pictures with an opacity range of 0-100%.
ATSUI Text - ATSUI (Apple Type Services for Unicode Imaging) text allows for the inclusion of
the Unicode character set. This maintains superb quality of text even when rotated.
Import Picture - Import Picture has been added to allow the import of PICT, TIFF, GIF,
JPEG/JFIF and Windows BMP formats. The pictures can then be resized and rotated to any angle
and made transparent. The memory efficiency of picture handling has improved resulting in
smaller files and faster operation.
Resize Palette - The resize palette now works with pictures and text as well as shapes.
Multiple Undos - 100 levels of undo have been added allowing the user to easily correct
mistakes or try variations on their drawing.
Compatibility with Adobe Illustrator - MacDraft files can now be made compatible with
Adobe Illustrator by converting files to PDF using the Print to PDF command. The file can then
be opened and edited in Adobe Illustrator.
