* Images: it is possible now to load image files (JPG, GIF, TIFF etc.) and
display them below the drawn layout. The display of the images can be
adjusted in many ways, i.e. placement, scaling, rotation, mirroring,
color/contrast/brightness adjustments and false color mapping for gray
level images. Images are fully supported by RBA. The feature is described
in detail in Adding images.
* Marker browser: the marker browser is based on the report database (RDB).
This is a new concept that has been introduced as a container for report
items, in particular marker objects but also for a number of additional
annotations including screenshots for documentation. An import of Calibre
DRC databases is provided. The RDB is fully supported by RBA.
The feature is described in detail in The marker browser.
* Some enhancements for the layer views: invisible layers are now shown
differently in a "collapsed" way. Thus, the layer's colors and styles are
still recognizable. The new features are described in detail in Telling
used from unused layers.
* In the layer list, unused layers can now be hidden and layers without
shapes in view can be marked unused or hidden. The normal mode of marking
layers unused when the cell does not contain any shapes at all is still
available. Both modes are available as checkable items in the layer list's
context menu.
* A "View" menu has been added with fast access to certain display options,
i.e. turn grid on an off. A number of default grids can be defined for
quick selection in the "View" menu. On request, the tool bar can now be
hidden as well as the layer and hierarchy lists.
* A key binding editor is provided. This way, all menu functions can be
assigned arbitrary key shortcuts in a more comfortable ways.
* The mid mouse button can be used to pan (drag) the view window now.
* Various RBA enhancements, i.e. a method to compute the intersection point
between edges.
