What’s New in GstarCAD 2026 Beta?
Revolutionized Interface for Enhanced User Experience
The GstarCAD 2026 interface has been comprehensively redesigned using WPF technology, ensuring a sleek, modern aesthetic and improved usability. Highlights include:
• Over 1,500 newly designed SVG icons that provide crisp, high-resolution visuals adaptable to any scale.
• An optimized secondary development interface, enhancing ACAD compatibility and easing the transition for existing applications.
Performance Enhancements for Faster Workflows
GstarCAD 2026 breaks previous speed barriers with substantial improvements that streamline workflow efficiency:
• Multi-reference drawings open significantly faster.
• EXTEND command (Fence/Crossing) is 4.5x faster.
• TRIM command (Fence/Crossing) operates 2x faster.
• Clipped blocks & Xrefs load 2.9x faster, and layout switching is 4.2x faster.
• Block editing preview (BEDIT/REFEDIT/INSERT) is 6x faster.
• MIRROR operation sees a 1.4x speed boost.
• Block creation/explosion is 4x faster, eliminating freezing with complex entities.
Enhanced DIMCORD for Better Annotation Control
The DIMCORD command now employs leader lines instead of polylines, allowing text to follow adjustments smoothly. The new Parameters dialog adds Scale, Text Size, Group, and Auto Switch options for greater flexibility.
Batch Plot & Batch Purge Upgrades
Batch Plot now features sequential previewing, allowing users to navigate frames quickly using the spacebar.
Batch Purge (BATPURGE) supports cleanup of registered applications, zero-length geometries, empty text objects, and orphaned data, ensuring cleaner, more efficient drawings.
PDF Import with PDFium Technology
GstarCAD 2026 replaces its outdated PDF import library with PDFium, delivering:
• Faster, more stable imports.
• Improved raster rendering.
• Enhanced text recognition (imports as MText with correct width and filling properties).
• Elimination of crashes and inaccuracies.
Parametric Constraints for Refined Control
Building on the previous introduction of Geometric Constraints, GstarCAD 2026 integrates Dimensional Constraints to allow precise control over object dimensions and proportions, facilitated through an enhanced Parameters Manager.
New DWG Compare for Seamless Revisions
Users can now compare drawings and highlight differences with revision clouds. The tool supports customizable comparison settings, importing changes, and exporting results as snapshot drawings for reference.
Innovative Drawing Merge (AUTOMERGE)
A new AUTOMERGE tool analyzes and splits drawings before merging them via external references. Users can define alignment, spacing, and file retention settings while exporting entity data to a .txt file for documentation.
View Mode Switch for Improved Projection
The ENGINEERINGVIEWMODE system variable enhances bottom view accuracy:
• Mode 0 follows standard display settings.
• Mode 1 adjusts bottom views to reflect true engineering projections.
Conclusion
GstarCAD 2026 Beta is not just an update but a significant leap forward in CAD technology. With its robust enhancements and new features, it promises to enhance the efficiency, precision, and flexibility of CAD professionals across various industries. This version is poised to revolutionize how professionals engage with CAD technology, making it a crucial tool for anyone looking to elevate their design capabilities.
With a modernized interface, unparalleled performance upgrades, and innovative tools, GstarCAD 2026 Beta is designed to push CAD design efficiency to new heights.
