New features in gvSIG 1.0.2: - Supported file formats - Since this version, it is possible to load DWG files also in versions R12, R13, and R14. - DWG files: - In dwg2000 files the loss of blocks no longer occur, and recovers the info of the Layer field. - Support for external references added. - New dwg entity types added: Polyface Mesh, Mesh, 3DSolid, 3DFace, etc. - Internationalization: - Romanian and Polish languages added to the product's interface.
Fixed bugs are: - Edition: - When two layers are in edition, the Pan tool pans one layer over the other one. - When a layer is being edited, if other non-editing layer is actived the console does not disappear. - Save to georeferenced raster: - If the name of the output file ends with the image format extension it throws an error. - Area and distance measurement: - Sometimes the area or the total distance is not shown due to the too low screen resolution configured in the desktop. - Layout: -A view georeferenced in geographic coordinates and with a scale defined by the user cannot be added. -Error console pops up when the user tries to pan an empty view in the layout. -The graphic line is shown in black even if the user changes the color. -When inserting centered text, the alignment is lost if any of its properties is modified. -When inserting a legend, if a scale or a north if the view is inserted and the user does not select the associated view the error console pops up. - If a non-numeric value for the rows or columns field of a table the error console pops up. - Filter: - If the syntax of a Select by filter is incorrect the error console pops up. - Catalog service: - When loading a WMS layer through a catalog service it does not load it in the same CRS of the view. - Geoprocess manager: - The measure units used in the geoprocesses of Influence analysis and 2D Translation are the ones specified for the "Map units" and not the ones specified for the "Measure units".
