Here are just a few things you will find in the new version.

You can now create your leaders in AViCAD with a variety of arrows, segments and content, including text and blocks with attributes. Unlike AViCAD’s previous leader objects, MLEADER is a single object which is easy to adjust, also with GRIPS.

Added Multileader as the new annotative object
Added zero margins printing. Available through the Printer Configuration Manager > Modify standard Paper Sizes (Printable Area)
Implemented Object properties evaluation. Lists of the properties of a selected object available as fields.
Fixed the visualization issue occurred when dragging objects in editing commands (e.g. Move, Copy).
Fixed the lagging issue occurred with editing commands on large drawings (e.g. DELETE, TRIM).
Improved performance when copying a large number of objects.
Improved performance using blocks in REFEDIT/REFCLOSE.
