Beta 57

Rotate and mirror viewports as AutoCAD does. Turning a viewport off-axis makes it a clipped viewport, and the view turns with the frame. A viewport and its boundary now move together. See Layouts and viewports.
Coordinate entry accepts x,y,z. Typing three values, or relative values with a third part, is accepted and the height is ignored.
Markups have an "In progress" status. Closing a markup that has no review code sets it to Code A. See Markup and review.
Hatch note on saving. You are told when a hatch is saved by its pattern name only, because the name is not known and it has no pattern lines.

Drawings with a rotated angle base now read and save correctly, so angles and polar entry match AutoCAD.
Large plots no longer run out of memory. PDF pages are written as a stream, and Plot, Print and Publish show progress with a Cancel button. See Plot and PDF.
Feet-and-inches entry in inch and foot drawings, and decimal commas (with semicolons between pairs).
Drawings with no units now ask once what a unit is before a scaled plot, a comparison or a measurement.
Markups: the reviewer is asked on the first markup, each markup carries a review code, you can set the start number or renumber, and you can export to a CRS spreadsheet.
Compare gives a list of changes that you can copy or export to CSV. See Compare drawings.
Layers panel has optional Linetype, Lineweight and Transparency columns.
Plot dialog: keep greys in monochrome, plus ANSI/ARCH and custom paper sizes.
External references and images outside the drawing's folder are loaded only after you agree. See Xrefs and images.

Incomplete DXF files are detected. You are asked before opening one, and it cannot be saved over the original.
Fit-point splines are drawn.
Viewports show dashes at paper scale and accept polygon clip shapes.
Find searches block attributes, text inside blocks and every layout, and shows where each hit is.
Safer saving. Saving retries on synced or locked folders and keeps a .bak copy only after a good save. See Saving and formats.
Converter clean-up. Stuck converter processes are stopped when you cancel, time out or quit.
Crash protection. The session is written about a second after each tab change, so open drawings come back. See Tabs and sessions.
Text that is backward or upside down is shown correctly.
