the Duplicate command and
and checking the option "Create symbol array"

memory allocation in version 3.2.0
- added medium/high accuracy option to area calculator and fixed bug that could
result in erroneous values
for polygons containing more than 16000 nodes

more than 32 characters

- implemented C-like scripting language and new "Script" mode. Requires
clescrpt.dll to be in the
same folder as CleWin3.exe
- improved "Use default short names" option in the "Layer properties" dialog. When
selected the
default short name ("L"+index) is used for all layers.
- DXF import: bulge factor for equal start/end points in a LWPOLYLINE could result
in an error message
causing the LWPOLYLINE to be ignored completely. Now only the bulge factor is
ignored.
- '(' and ')' characters are not allowed in layer and symbol names.
- added '+' as shortcut for "Leave original" during dragging of an object
- added Ctrl-L and Ctrl-K shortcuts for "Combine into symbol" and "Uncombine"
- GDS-II export: number of segments for "converting rings into wires" was also used
for converting
circles into polygons
- GDS-II export: a scaling factor of 0 for symbol instances resulted in endless
loop

- integrated the areacalculator utility in CleWin (Layout|Special|Area
calculator... Ctrl+A)
- optimized memory allocation for faster reading of CIF and GDS-II files and
handling of larger files
- improved check on creating loops in nested symbols
- updated help file

pattern generators
also added the *.dwm extension for Mann files.
- implemented copying cross sections to the FlowDesigner process simulator
- added "Clear field"/"Dark field" option in the "Layer properties" dialog. This
option is currently
only used for the cross section viewer: if "Dark field" is selected the output is
inverted

sizes

completing a measurement)

left mouse button can be used for panning by pressing Ctrl.
- fixed potential memory leak in drawing of wires
- Gerber export: added support for flat and extended wire end-styles

and not during some other automatic conversions (for example when a circle is
stretched into an ellipse).
