GstarCAD


About GstarCAD: GstarCAD is well-known alternative CAD software of high compatibility with ACAD. With 25 years of continuous improvement and lean innovation, today GstarCAD is far ahead in performance, stability and other key indicators and becomes leading CAD software in the world. With new technologies, innovative features and outstanding performance, the DWG-based Collaborative Design of GstarCAD helps improve project design efficiency and significantly reduce error and cost.

GstarCAD is a lightweight CAD (Computer-Aided Design or Computer Aided Drafting) software application developed and provided by Gstarsoft, the company was founded in 1992 and has focused on CAD software development ever since.

GstarCAD is a powerful alternative to other CAD software on the market with features such as commands and user interface that are familiar and comfortable to users of many other CAD software.

GstarCAD comes in “Standard”, “Academic”, and “Professional” versions, and is available in languages of English, Spanish, French, Czech, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Hungarian, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, etc.

 

Gstar cad course objective:

GstarCAD is a powerful alternative to other CAD software on the market with features such as commands and user interface that are familiar and comfortable to users of many other CAD software.

The objective of this course is to teach users the basic commands and tools necessary for professional 2D drawing, design and drafting using gstar cad After completing this foundation course students will be able to:

  

·Use GstarCAD for daily working process.

·Create multiple designs using several of tools.

·Create layers to control the objects’ visibility.

·Explain drawing using annotations.

·Plot or print the drawing by scale.

·To use constraint for certain design.

·Navigate throughout GstarCAD using major navigating tools.

·Understand the concept and techniques to draw

Advantages of GstarCAD Collaboration:

Drawing data incremental storage and transmission

Multi-person and multi-direction drawing reference

Timely, synchronous and asynchronous drawing data update

Smart drawing version management and tracing

Multi-person and multi-direction drawing reference

Support bilateral, nested and circular drawing reference

Easy to confirm design progress of other teams and members

Possible to display, hide and detach reference drawing at any time.

In time check and handle conflicts and collisions, reduce design errors at early stages

Flexible drawing reference management

Concise and clear tree structure of drawing reference relations

Automatically break nested or circular reference

Possible to fold/unfold reference relations and hide/display reference at any time

Grey display of reference drawings, easy view and edit of current drawing

Timely, synchronous and asynchronous data submission and update

Timely submission and update of current drawing, like real-time collaboration

Real time reminder, user decides whether to submit and update drawing immediately

User decides when to submit and update drawings or, user works offline and submits or updates drawings when becoming online

Drawing data incremental storage and transmission

Only save and submit design changes, minimize amount of drawing data storage and transmission

Ensure efficiency and timeliness of drawing data transmission and update

Smart drawing version management and tracing

Every submission is retained as a version (incremental storage)

Possible to view historical versions based on dates and logs

Possible to trace back and restore any historical version

 Easy check of design changes in reference drawings

Check modifications of all reference drawings at the same time

Directly view design changes by color distinction, or check details one by one

Possible to modify drawings according to the changes

Possible to switch confirmed changes to non-display

Roles and permission management throughout project

Project leader can assign role and permission to project team members

Each team member can access (read/edit/save/submit) to drawing files according to permissions

Each team member can export drawing files according to permissions

Convenient project import and export

Easy to import Xref projects into collaborative design system

Automatic converting Xref relations to collaborative design reference relations

Easy to export collaborative design project to DWG drawings
