In the same menu, a post sign preview and stand view have been added so that it is more convenient to build your sign before insertion.

 

Changes to the Passability module

When checking vehicle passability, the selection of the colour of wheel tracks, outline, hatching, etc. has been improved.

ZWCAD also allows to conveniently change the hatching after drawing the overrun.

Adding more signs to existing ones

Adding face of signs to existing ones in a CAD drawing has become even easier. Simply select the face of the signs and click Add Sign, then indicate where to add it.

Clicking on the top of the sign face will add the new sign on top and clicking on the bottom will add the sign below the existing one.

Changes in ZWGeo 2025 SP1

New module - ZWMaps

The ZWGeo application also includes a ZWGis module for working with industry files such as SHP, WMS, WFS and GML. This module also includes tools for importing maps, points and raster underlays.

In the SP1 version, we also added a third tab - ZWMaps.

This is a database of BDOT500 geodetic base map symbols.

  • library of symbols for topographic objects,
  • land and building register,
  • land development,
  • administrative boundaries.

The symbols are in line with Polish BDOT500 regulations, but they're also usefull in other countries.

ZWMaps allows you to insert, draw or replace special objects using convenient commands.

 

 

 

 

Changes in Visibility

The Visibility module makes it convenient to hide parts of the drawing. We've introduced a convenient configurator that allows saved CAD layers to be changed in Visibility at any time.

Extension of OpenStreetMaps support

In addition to a convenient tool for inserting OSM maps into ZWCAD, our addon now has several additional tools, such as changing size of maps, splitting it into smaller segments or zooming out.
