Unicode

Description

Better support for Unicode (i.e. non-latin characters such as Korean, Chinese and Japanese) has been added to Marine Drafting. Unicode characters may be used in the following areas:

• Drawing names

• Values of Drafting’s default variables

• Dimension annotations

• Model names (except Hull)

• MarAPI (nb. Limited or no support for Unicode in Hull functions)

Benefits

Supporting Unicode for example, provides functionality to make annotations in the user’s native language.

Compatibility Constraints

There is limited Unicode support among the Hull Design specific functions.

For More Information

Please refer to the Marine Drafting documentation.
