New Eagle Watch View Tool
The Eagle Watch View tool displays a small window showing the full extents of
your modeling domain with a red rectangle marking the area that is currently
displayed in the main graphical area. In the Eagle Watch View window, you can
use the mouse pointer to draw a new rectangle around the area that you would
like to zoom in on. This will automatically update the display in the main
window.
New Web Annotation Tool
The Web Annotation tool allows you to draw a polar grid with the option to specify
rings, rays, and labels at specific distances for annotation purposes only.
This annotation tool can be especially useful when used as a scaling tool
for graphical visualization of the modeling area and its dimensions.
Transparency Option for Contours Using Alpha Blending
Alpha Blending has been implemented to support real transparency of your concentration
or terrain contours. You can access this option from the Graphical Options dialog,
Levels panel, Shade Style drop-down list box.
