Hi,
first I would like to say thank you for this very fine free product. I used bricscad for many years in my previous job. In my new job I do not make autocad drawings so I only do this for my private projects. This software is really nice for that. So after using it for a couple of months I do have some questions:
1. How to update external reference .dwg? Normally this works using the REGEN command. However, this doesn't work. I know have to close the drawing and open it again.
2. How to set the standard dimensions to another layer? I have my own dimensions layer. When I use the dim tool it will automatically place the dimensions inside the green DIMENSION layer.
3. In my stamps I have 2 lines which I could change using the command DWGPROPS (name of client and name of project). Does this command also work for this product?

Hello!
For the first - Try Insert - External References command ( EXTERNALREFERENCES ). Reload XREF button.
Will check other questions in version 5, working in Plus.
Best regards.
