For Web publishers, the new JPEG export feature lets you put drawings on the Web as compressed bit maps. Illustrations look better with the multicolored fills featured in Engineered Software's PowerCADD 3.0. The bricks were done with a three-color fill. The other stone textures use the same fill technique. You can also superimpose full-color scans as imported PICTs.
All symbols appear as thumbnails in a floating, scrollable palette that looks like a filmstrip.
You place a symbol by dragging its thumbnail from the Symbols palette. You can also flip and free-rotate the symbol while dragging. A symbol goes into your drawing either as an unrelated group or as an instance linked to the master symbol. Editing a master symbol remains awkward, though. You must ungroup a placed symbol, create a new symbol from the edited group and use the same old Replace Symbol command to indicate which thumbnail gets the replacement.
