Open from Files:
​
You can now open all supported file types directly from your device browser, no matter where your files are stored and you have the necessary access rights.

Start ARES Touch -> Go to your local documents -> Tap on the button "Open from Files" to open your device file browser. Choose a file and open it.

The file will be opened directly inside ARES Touch.
​

Save to Files:
​
You can now save all supported file types directly to your device storage.

The new option "Save to Files" is available for every drawing from the file browser options ( 3 dots on the right side of the file entry ) or you can use "Save to files" directly within the document from the menu.

Note: Please take care about your extensions, do not remove it. Your system browser doesn't handle extensions and you might save your file without file type. Some file browsers support overriding existing files whereas others might create a numbered file.
​

Save - File name and file format
​
Save your files to different drawing formats and versions ( DWG, DXF, DWT ). The new dialog is available for Save and Save as.
​

​

Export - Font management
​
There is now a collapsible tab "Font Management" in the Export dialog. To manage TrueType fonts from the drawings, in Font management, specify the options:
​
- Embed True Type fonts used in the drawing:

Captures True Type fonts used in the drawing's annotations and includes them in the PDF file. When viewing the PDF file, the fonts are read directly from the PDF file and the PDF viewer should not substitute them. This option increases the PDF file size.

Exceptions:

Fonts that are not TrueType fonts

Vertical Asian fonts
​
- Optimized:
Specifies whether to use True Type font-related optimization when creating the PDF file. This may influence the output performance, but reduces the file size.

- Convert all True Type texts used in the drawing:
Lets you convert all text to geometry during the export to PDF file when you cannot include your TrueType fonts in the PDF file. The text in the PDF file is identical to the text on the drawing.
​
- SHX text as geometry:
Lets you convert SHX fonts to geometry. Thus, annotations that use SHX fonts are represented using geometric entities, such as lines and arcs. Otherwise, the SHX-based annotations appear as text lines in the PDF file using a corresponding or similar TrueType font, which lets you select annotations in the PDF file as text objects.

The shape fonts are always printed as geometry regardless of the selection made.

​
​Save local and cloud files outside of the application. Tap on the 3 dots on the right side of the file entry -> Tap on “Save to files”. A system file browser will open allowing you to browse to a particular folder and specifying a new file name.

Quick CAD editing on selection:
​
Welcome our new feature to use your finger to directly modify the selection set.

The feature starts with a swipe gesture and finishes when you release your finger.

You can:

- Move the selection set with swiping your finger within the selection zone

- Scale the selection set with swiping your finger close to a corner point ( 4 directions )

- Rotate the selection set with swiping your finger in an arcuate gesture close to the point with the curved arrow
​

If you prefer grip editing please open general settings, and turn off "Quick entity editing with swipe gestures" from category "Grip Editing".

If you need more precise results, subscribe and specify custom base point and displacement for MOVE, SCALE, ROTATE.

ARES Trinity: Cloud fields & QR codes

Users can now combine ready-to-use QR codes and the new CLOUDFIELD command to easily insert inside your drawings links to specific versions of your drawing in the cloud. You may, for example, add a link to view online the latest version of a printed drawing, to ensure your contacts don‘t miss any updates. Alternatively, it could be a link to download the file as it was when it was printed.

Info: Explore all benefits of our Trinity concept that combines the strengths of desktop computers, mobile devices and cloud computing into a unique CAD ecosystem.
