Version 20.1 files are not backward compatible. Windows Versions ---------------- This Version has been tested on Windows 10, 8.1, 8. This Version has been run on Windows 7 but TPC does not recommend Windows 7. This Version is not supported on Windows XP, Vista. Additions --------- 3-18-2021 (7724) Details now support fills for objects that are entirely contained within the detail. 3-22-2021 (7713) Details - now support dynamic offsets, dimensions and interior angles - added Undo for Edit Group / Detail - snapping to a group item automatically adds new items to a group - right-clicking a group item and choosing any Modify Object command, adds new items to a group - group items now display sizes, lengths and areas based on the group scale 3-31-2021 (7742) TPC now supports aligned text for CAD blocks with semi-circle arcs. 4-2-2021 (7748) Table prefixes for Lot and Point tabels are now disabled/enabled based on the Format Sequence. Help topics were update to help users understand how prefixes are used in these two tables. 4-8-2021 (7756) Improved support for paper space objects in drawing details. 4-8-2021 (7759) Dynamic Offsets and Dimensions can now be included in details. 4-8-2021 (7763) Tooltips for tables now indicate that they are Paper Space. 4-8-2021 (7718) TPC now overrides Windows tooltip settings in the registry, enabling them in TPC and restoring the Windows setting when existing. 4-13-2021 (5579) Duplicate drawnings now include dyanamic offsets, dimensions and interior angles. 4-13-2021 (7714) We removed the ability to hide contour lines from their context menu.
