The simplest way is to reinstall GstarCAD. Configuration files will not be deleted and all other files are updated.
Some functions are triggered when you open files. Pressing „ESC” button during boot, some funktsіі can not load and therefore does not operate normally.
When you move to another window firstly you should complete all of the commands used in the previous windows.
Files containing different types of lines are stored in the \ GStarCAD2011 \ icad.lin. These files can be edited, for example using WordPad. You can also insert a specific type of line. However, do not paste files with the types of lines from other programs (such as acad.lin in AutoCAD).
You can set some layers as „Not Plot” in layer manager; the entities on the layers cannot be printed out. If similar situation appeared, please check if the layer was set as „Not Plot”.
GstarCAD controls the color and lineweight of the drawings’ output by Plot style table. If the drawing is designed in multiple colors, you just need to set the output color as black when print it. GstarCAD provides some preset Plot style tables, if you need to print the drawings in monochrome; you just need to select monochrome.ctb then click the Edit button to adjust lineweight. If you want your drawings to use the same printing setting, you can save the CTB file.
Notice: Plot style table only controls the indexed color, if your drawings used true color; it is not controlled by Plot style table. If you want the true color can be printed according to the Plot style table, just click the “Advanced” button in the “Print” panel and check the “Use the transform from the true colour”.
Boundary properties of the printable area are kept in the file printer.ini. It can be opened and edited in Notepad. The change may also include the line width.
The reason may be a large number of available printers. When you try to print, the program will try to connect to the default printer or other available in the list. If the printer is not correctly positioned in the list, the transfer will take a long amount of time.
