What’s New In GstarCAD 2025?

1   Parametric Constraints

GstarCAD 2025 introduces Parametric Constraints, focusing exclusively on geometric constraints this year. Geometric constraints manage how objects relate to others, enabling automatic adjustments to other objects when changes are made, ensuring design precision and efficiency.

2    BIM data Editing

BIM data can be edited directly from GstarCAD 2025, which significantly enhances drawing efficiency and streamlines workflow.

3  3D Mouse Device Adaption

GstarCAD 2025 supports the SpaceMouse and CadMouse by 3Dconnexion. You can manipulate 2D views and 3D perspectives using the controller’s joystick, switch views and execute commands using the mouse’s shortcut keys, and you can also customize the mouse button configurations within the driver software for these devices.

4    Voice Annotation

GstarCAD 2025 supports voice annotations now. You can easily create, record, play, and manage voice annotations through the Voice Manager panel.

5   API for better customization

GstarCAD offers robust APIs for software developers to migrate and build applications on GstarCAD. GstarCAD 2025 now supports Python and offers more than 790 commonly-used Python interfaces.

6    Enhanced Performance

GstarCAD 2025 introduces several performance improvements that streamline your workflow. The new Incremental Save feature significantly speeds up the SAVEAS and QSAVE commands, as well as the opening of drawings. The TRIM and EXTEND commands have been optimized, improving performance by 69% on complex drawings. Additionally, HATCH display precision has been enhanced, eliminating excess lines in gradient and transparent hatches, ensuring a more efficient workflow.

7    Simplified Dimensions

Dimensions are a critical aspect of CAD drawings, and GstarCAD 2025 makes working with dimensions easier than ever. With the DIM command, you can now move the cursor over objects to preview dimensions and then confirm the placement with a click. This streamlined process eliminates the need to switch between different dimension commands, saving you valuable time.

8    Innovative Lasso Selection

The new Lasso Selection tool allows you to create irregularly shaped selection sets, making it easier to select objects in complex drawings. If you do not prefer it, you can also turn it of. Additionally, the Window Selection feature has been optimized with new options like Fence, Window Polygon, and Crossing Polygon, giving you more flexibility in your selection process.,

9   Enhanced PASTESPEC Command

The PASTESPEC command has been upgraded to improve how you paste objects from the clipboard to your drawing. Now, you can paste data from an Excel worksheet as ‘DWG Entities’ with the ‘Paste Link’ option, creating a dynamic data link that can be updated using the DATALINKUPDATE command. This feature enhances the integration between your CAD drawings and external data sources.

10   Efficient License Management

GstarCAD 2025 includes an improved system for managing your software licenses. Users are notified in advance about upgrades for USB standalone dongles or subscription expirations. The GstarCAD Network License Manager now displays the number of real-time users, providing better control over your licenses.
