vanch3d/Calques3Dv2: Version 2.3.0

Description

New features:

  • The interface has been updated with the BCGControlBar Professional Edition Library version 7.31. As a result, a lot of changes have been made, most of them related to the look-and-feel of Calques 3D and with no impact on how the software is running. In particular:
    • The application look of Calques 3D has been updated to reflect current standards in Windows. Several predefined looks can be chosen from, e.g. Office XP, Office 2003, Windows XP theme, etc. Use the View | Application Look command when no windows are open (otherwise the command is not visible).
    • The popup menu/button for object shapes have been redesigned to fit the new look-and-feel.
    • Icons are gradually updated to take advantage of support for 256/16M colours.
  • The status bar now includes an icon representing the current task activated in the Universe view (the icon is the same as the one in the toolbar). Together with the feedback text, they help to understand the current task and the steps to performed to accomplish it.
  • Calques 3D now support full screen display (see View | Full Screen). Please note that this feature is operated by playing with the dimensions of the application frame and hiding tool bars. Since the application menu is still available, strange behaviour may happen if you start showing them again. Use this command with care.
  • The modeless Attribute dialog, for editing the properties of an object (name, colour, shape, etc.) has been updated and activated. It is also complemented by a Structure dialog which presents the parents, the dependents and - if applicable - the constituents of a composite object. This dialog is for display purpose only - I'm working on it in order to allow access and navigation through the dependent graph of a construction. Both dialogs are freely dockable and activable at the interface, thanks to the BCGControlBar library.
Fixes:
  • The two sliders used for rotating the Universe and Tracing views have been redesigned and improved (both internally and visually).
  • A bug in the look-and-feel of front/background windows has been fixed (the title bar of background windows was not drawn properly).
  • GDI resource leaks have been found and treated.
  • A bug with the "hidden parts in gray" command, in the colours preference dialog, has been fixed.
  • The bug with the user macro list in the Preference has been fixed. Browsing for a file is now directly associated with the items in the list. As before, editing the name of the item has no effect, since the name of the macro is automatically extracted from the macro-file.* Internal structures of Calques 3D have been amended and improved. Most of it will not have any visible effect on the application but may improve performance (and reduce the risk of bugs:-).
  • Labels are now only available for points. This is for (temporarily) solving the problem of attaching labels to objects like lines or planes. I will try to come back to this issue later.
