Check out all 40+ new and enhanced features

• Undo - Apex IV version 3 now has multi-level Undo for the most serious mistakes like deleting an Area or some other portion of a sketch.


• Save/Auto Save with Open Areas - Auto-Save now saves after every event, such as drawing a line or adding a symbol or text. You can also save your sketch at anytime even when an area is still open.


• Move Areas with Contents - Now when you move an Area, everything contained within the Area will automatically move as well. No more redrawing Free Form Lines or repositioning Text Labels & Symbols!


• Nested Areas - While drawing an area, you can now define and begin drawing another area even though the first one is still open. For example, when you are drawing GLA1 and come to the front porch, you can now draw the porch at that point instead of waiting till after GLA1 is closed.


• Reverse Drawing (Swap POB) - Select the Swap POB function while drawing and you will be able to continue drawing from the Area’s original Point of Beginning back the other direction.


• Draw First Mode - Begin sketching immediately without having to “define” the Area first. Why worry with what the Area type will be until you’re finished with it? Now you can define Areas before or after you draw.


• Working Grid - Apex has always had a grid, but it was more cosmetic than functional. Now, not only does it look more like real graph paper by default, but users can draw on the grid, snap to the grid as well as use it for a visual aid when aligning items.


• Sketch File Conversion - Do you have a library of Brand X sketch files you need to convert to Apex format? Apex will read youre WinSketch™ and Sketch It™ files so you can still access all your legacy data!


• Colored Rubbered Lines - Apex IV version 3 gives you visual cues to confirm that you are drawing Horizontally and/or Vertically by “highlighting” the lines to a user-configurable color.


• Reopen At Feature (Right Click) - Advanced users can now select a line, Right Click and immediately reopen the Area at that point for re-edits, such as room additions or other corrections.


• Parallel Dimension Orientation - Apex has always allowed you to press R to rotate the dimension and H or V for Horizontal and Vertical orientation. Now you can press P to orient the dimension to the same angle as the line it is associated with.


• Send to Back – Bring to Front - For easier Area selection, you can now make changes to which Area is in the front or back.


• Suspend Area - Need to add a note, symbol or free Form line(s) while drawing? In version 3, just select what you want to do at anytime and the Area you are drawing will automatically be suspended and resumed when you have completed the function you have chosen.


• Overlapping Areas - In previous versions of Apex, if you cloned an Area and posted it directly on top of another Area, the overlapping dimensions would “blank” each other out. This condition has been eliminated for cloning, moving and other similar functions.


• Improved Center Sketch functions - We’ve made Center Sketch a toggled state so you can choose which form of Centering works best for you. When the toggle is activated every time you center the sketch it will Center it on the page. Otherwise, every time you center the sketch it will center in the viewable area.
