In the survey and design industry, CAD is widely used in construction, communication, post and telecommunications, equipment and other fields as a two-dimensional platform drawing software. Due to the general characteristics of large-scale drawings and collaborative design in this industry, a powerful and stable CAD software is essential for improving work efficiency.
About Tianjin Post and Telecommunications Design Institute
Tianjin Post and Telecommunications Design Institute Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Tianjin Post and Telecommunications Design Instituteâ€), its main business includes communication network planning, project feasibility study report preparation and communication engineering design, among which communication engineering involves mobile communication and system integration intelligence. Engineering survey and design of building integrated wiring system, power supply, communication tower, etc.
All along, Tianjin Post and Telecommunications Design Institute has used Zhongwang CAD software to design various projects. In July 2012, we were very interested in Zhongwang Software's launch of Zhongwang CAD+, the latest independent platform. So, we tested this Zhongwang CAD+. The test results confirmed that the CAD+ performance of this model is very strong and performs well, which is very helpful for the improvement of our designers' work efficiency. The engineers involved in the test also expressed their appreciation for Zhongwang CAD+ and highly appreciated it.
Zhongwang CAD+: New core enhances design efficiency
Due to the industry characteristics and particularity of the survey and design industry, engineers often use topographic maps as basemaps for design work. In general, topographic maps are much larger than typical design drawings. The time when the CAD software opens the drawing, the smoothness and accuracy of the operation, and the perfectness of the function determine the efficiency of the entire work of the engineer.
Zhongwang CAD+ is a new generation of CAD platform software, using a new kernel independently developed by Zhongwang Software. Since its launch in July last year, the market has been well received and many of its peers are also using it. We have been tested and found that Zhongwang CAD+ can adapt to the design operation of more complex graphic files, and the software runs more smoothly under the same conditions, which can effectively meet the design needs of engineers.
First, large drawings open faster and take up less resources
With the development of the CAD software industry, the current CAD software is becoming more and more fancy, taking up too much resources, directly affecting the operation of the software. As a new generation of CAD products of Zhongwang Software, Zhongwang CAD+ has outstanding performance in this respect, and the memory occupied by software opening is very small. Therefore, on the same machine, Zhongwang CAD+ runs faster and smoother.
Figure 1: Open Zhongwang CAD+ initial memory
It is precisely because of the above-mentioned advantages of “opening the drawing and using less memoryâ€, the Zhongwang CAD+ can open larger drawings on the same configuration computer, and the opening speed is also faster. In the opening time, Zhongwang CAD+ opened the 200M topographic map for the same time as ACAD. It should be emphasized that the original products based on the ICAD core simply cannot open such large drawings. Moreover, Zhongwang CAD+ can truly support dual-core, which makes the software's operating efficiency have a great improvement.

Second, the operation is smoother, the object capture is more accurate
The most commonly used commands for designers during the drawing process are zoom, pan, and regen. The speed of response to this series of commands can have a large impact on operational fluency and overall efficiency.
When we open any of the larger drawings, such as 5M, 10M, or draw tens of thousands of identical entities through the array, and then any Zoom/Pan, using the Undo command, it takes several seconds to respond in the desired CAD. Refresh the display, there is a progress bar in this process; and Zhongwang CAD+ can be completed in an instant, without refreshing the progress bar.

In terms of capture, capture accuracy has always been an uncomfortable problem that bothers us. Because some bar lines and the like are arranged on the topographic map, it is required to accurately capture and accurately display. To this end, our engineers did a small operation to compare:
First, draw the following graphics in the original version and Zhongwang CAD+:
Then keep zooming in and we can see the status of the capture point:
From this small experiment, it is fully shown that Zhongwang CAD+ has a very large increase in capture, which makes us very pleasantly surprised and excited. Because this is significant for the efficiency of our entire design work.
Third, Zhongwang CAD+ perfect function: tool palette
Zhongwang CAD+ tool palette
Unlike the CAD products before Zhongwang Software, Zhongwang CAD+'s current tool palette is very functional, and engineers can easily do the following:
(1) Using the interface form of the floating option board, it can be freely folded, unfolded, suspended, docked, and consistent with AutoCAD.
(2) Convenient direct drag and drop function, drag any entity in the drawing directly to the corresponding option board for the next use
(3) Supporting object attributes, blocks, objects, or tools placed on the TP, all of which can be set by right-clicking, and need not be modified again when used.
(4) interaction with the design center, the option board can be directly generated from the drawing resources of the design center, including all the blocks in the drawing
(5) interaction with the operating system, can be directly dragged from the resource manager into the palette
(6) Support customization of the palette, partitioning the palette group
The addition of these convenient functions to Zhongwang CAD+ ensures that our engineers can call the required graphics and tiles according to their own needs without the help of professional software, thus saving working time.
to sum up
The improvement of stability and speed of Zhongwang CAD+ has brought efficiency to our engineers. It should be pointed out that the above content is only part of the efficiency improvement of Zhongwang CAD+ based on the new kernel, and it is also the aspect that we apply the most, and the improvement of efficiency of Zhongwang CAD+ is also reflected in many aspects, such as various functional mechanisms. API interface, professional software applications, etc., I believe that in the future work, Zhongwang CAD+ will bring us more surprises, and hope that more peer companies will come to experience Zhongwang CAD+.
