Drawing Tabs and Collapse Palette – ARES Commander

Learn about “Drawing TABs”

“Drawing TABs” allow us to quickly move from one open drawing to another, regardless of whether it is 2D or 3D.

1
00:00:09,240 –> 00:00:16,20
ARES Commander 2016 offers us new features such as the “Drawing TABs”.

2
00:00:16,400 –> 00:00:24,60
They allow us to quickly move from one open drawing to another, regardless of whether it is 2D or 3D.

3
00:00:24,780 –> 00:00:26,840
But not only that.

4
00:00:27,60 –> 00:00:35,440
We can also position the “pointer” over one of the tabs, and Ares Commander 2016 offers all views available in this drawing,

5
00:00:37,540 –> 00:00:42,780
either model space or “Layouts” that are configured in paper space.

6
00:00:43,840 –> 00:00:49,140
Allowing also to go directly to one of those layouts by clicking on them.

7
00:00:49,680 –> 00:00:56,380
We can also change the order of the opened drawings, simply by dragging a tab to a new location.

8
00:01:02,580 –> 00:01:08,640
Another important feature is that we can create a new drawing by clicking the sign “more”:

9
00:01:09,000 –> 00:01:13,480
Then a new drawing is created based on the last template used.

10
00:01:13,720 –> 00:01:17,470
If we want a specific template, as we did
in previous versions,

11
00:01:17,470 –> 00:01:20,760
we can go to the Application button,  select
NEW,

12
00:01:20,760 –> 00:01:23,660
and then choose from the available templates.

13
00:01:23,800 –> 00:01:29,100
Also, ARES Commander 2016 features improvements in the properties palette,

14
00:01:29,120 –> 00:01:32,360
where we can open or close the different categories.

15
00:01:32,500 –> 00:01:39,40
This is in particular very useful when selecting dimensions, which contain a lot of options.

16
00:01:41,20 –> 00:01:46,860
We can reduce the size of the displayed data to focus on the values that we want to modify.

17
00:01:47,560 –> 00:01:50,40
As in previous versions of Ares Commander,

18
00:01:50,140 –> 00:01:54,520
the “Language” command allows us to change the language in which we are working.

19
00:01:54,600 –> 00:01:59,298
Now, in the 2016 release, if we press the
key “down arrow”,

20
00:01:59,409 –> 00:02:03,269
we see at the pointer the option to choose the “list” of languages.

21
00:02:03,300 –> 00:02:07,300
The list shows us the number corresponding to each language.

22
00:02:07,420 –> 00:02:10,780
You just need to write the value and press
ENTER.

23
00:02:10,960 –> 00:02:16,510
After restarting the software,
it will be available in the defined language.

24
00:02:16,540 –> 00:02:19,840
Another new possibility in ARES Commander 2016

25
00:02:19,860 –> 00:02:23,780
is to change the language directly in the
Options dialog.

26
00:02:23,780 –> 00:02:29,620
Here in the filter, we can start writing “Languages” and several options appear.

27
00:02:29,800 –> 00:02:35,420
Finally we choose “Select Language as:”

28
00:02:36,660 –> 00:02:41,509
This quickly leads to where we can change the language.

29
00:02:41,660 –> 00:02:46,20
We just select and apply it.

30
00:02:46,180 –> 00:02:51,200
After rebooting the software it will be available in the language we selected.
