PDF Manager |
Numerous Improvements to PDF tools:
|
|
PMO | Path Mark Options | Consolidated all mark commands. Expanded from only polylines to multiple path objects (such as lines, mlines, etc). |
PTE | Path Tag Editor | Expanded from only polylines to multiple path objects (such as lines, splines, etc). |
