Use at least AutoCAD R13c4. Changes from version 1.01 to version 1.02: - POWERdraft has its own toolbar. - New Cockpit feature: configurable remote control for easiest transparent Pan and Zoom - New MultiView feature: Fix Button to freeze the history view - New commands: ELSA*, XREDRAW*, CPFIX*, CPADDVIEW - Easiest configuration of POWERdraft via command ELSAconfig or ELSA toolbar - Concave polygons are drawn properly. - The tools react on a palette change properly. - AutoCAD's special select modes (like Fence or CPolygon) are now handled correctly. - GLoria-M and GLoria-L are supported - WINNER3000-S is supported. Changes from version 1.02 to version 1.03: - Windows NT 4.0 is supported. - Under Windows 3.1x you need a newer version of Win32s (see note below).

Version 2.01.10: - Sometimes a Genius Power Dimension wasn't drawn immediately when zoomed in very far. ********************************************************************** 6. Caveats / Known Problems Windows 3.1x only: Under Windows 3.1x you should avoid full screen DOS boxes while POWERdraft is running. Windowed DOS boxes are uncritical, however. Windows 3.1x only: POWERdraft version 1.03.00 or higher needs Microsoft's WIN32S version 1.25.142 or higher. AutoCAD R13c4 is shipped with this version of WIN32S; however, AutoCAD R13c0 was shipped with version 1.20.123, which won't work with POWERdraft any more. Please ensure you have a proper version of WIN32S installed on your system before installing POWERdraft (WIN32S.INI in the Windows system directory contains the version number). You can find Microsoft WIN32S version 1.25.142 on the AutoCAD R13c4 CD or on the ELSA WINNERware CD in \ELSAware\WIN32S. With an ARX application loaded the ELSA toolbar may disappear when a drawing is opened. You can get the toolbar again by entering the command ELSA or clicking on the ELSA logo in the Cockpit window.
