GeometryHelper 13.3.0

• .NETStandard 2.0

  • No dependencies.

NEW IN 13.3.0

     A minor release: 48 public members added in GeometryHelper.Dxf, none removed or renamed. Nearly all of it is DXF
     parity with AutoCAD 2021; the results callers will see change are listed under CHANGED.

     NEW, DXF
     - Constraint parameters of dynamic blocks: the horizontal, vertical and radial ones AutoCAD's Block Editor wrote
       are set by solving the block's constraints, within 4E-11 of AutoCAD 2021, and AutoCAD sets the library's INSERTs
       again. Their expressions take AutoCAD's functions (trunc, floor, ceil, min, max, pow, ln, log, d2r and the rest),
       pi, e and the remainder %.
     - Block properties tables: AddBlockPropertiesTable and BlockPropertiesTable, with DxfBlockPropertiesTableColumn
       (distances, X, Y, angles, attributes, the visibility state) and DxfBlockPropertiesTableRow; AutoCAD's own tables
       are read and set.
     - Polar parameters and polar stretches (AddPolarParameter, AddPolarStretchAction), value sets for rotation, XY and
       polar parameters, lookups of XY, polar and rotation inputs, and attribute definitions locked in their block in
       stretches, moves, scales, rotates and polar stretches.

     CHANGED, DXF: results callers will see change
     - DxfMLeader.TextHeight, LandingGap, ArrowSize, DoglegLength and BlockScale read and set unscaled, as AutoCAD's API
       does: at a scale of 2, words drawn 8 high read 4, where they read 8. At a scale of 1 and untransformed nothing
       changes. TextAttachmentType sets the left side alone; AddLeaderLine lands a new leader as AutoCAD lands it, on a
       block, and on words where that needs no font.
     - DxfTable.SetDataType turns a value not of the kind, and SetOverrides gives an override the cell does not hold,
       where both refused; Fill fills as AutoCAD fills; new cells of InsertRows, InsertColumns and SetSize hold no value,
       where they held an empty text; HorizontalCellMargin and VerticalCellMargin of a table of no margin of its own read
       its style's, 1.5 in a drawing of millimetres, where they read 0.06.
     - A spline through fit points is a cubic of chord-length knots whatever degree is asked, as AutoCAD fits it, and a
       SPLINE whose control points are not its fit is read as the fit; ToPolyline gives closer to AutoCAD's vertex counts.
     - round in a constraint expression takes a half up: round(-2.5) is -2, where it was -3.
     - DxfDatabase.Insert copies an INSERT naming a block the other drawing has not, where it refused the whole drawing.
     - A block is dynamic where it holds an evaluation graph, not where it holds the GUID alone.

     FIXED, DXF
     - Multileaders explode, keep their landings and scale their blocks and words as AutoCAD 2021 does, and write the
       style's text style, linetype and arrow block.
     - Table rows keep their kinds, merged cells are emptied, the lines between cells are read as AutoCAD reads them,
       SetBackgroundColorNone and IsBackgroundColorNone no longer have it the other way about, and the edits of rows and
       columns keep the TABLECONTENT in step.
     - Carets and %% codes in texts and ContentsRTF read as AutoCAD 2021 reads them; a justified text writes its
       alignment point at the origin too.

     FIXED and CHANGED, geometry
     - ToPolygon3, ToFace3 and ToPolyline3 lay a shape into a frame, and ProjectToPolygon2, ProjectToFace2 and
       ProjectToPolyline2 lay it out, side for side however short a side, where the global tolerance took short sides
       out. A polygon or a face seen edge-on is now refused, where it came out as a line of corners.
     - TransformBy of faces, solids and polygons one by one reads the transformation once; the results are the same to
       the bit.
