    with EMF output.
(11) When the special output version of PloView of automatic output 
    is activated on the command line and the output type changes, 
    the problem that the output condition becomes indefinite unless 
    the same output is made in the dialog mode beforehand was fixed.
Ver.10.06 May 04, 2018
(12) Improved reading accuracy of PDF files.
    PDF reading scale correction is automatically set during installation.
    PDF reading scale correction X, Y can be set in the input file setting.
    We prepared a button which can automatically set PDF reading scale 
    correction X, Y in input file setting.
    PDF reading scale correction can be set automatically on the command line.
(13) Changed the output scale in File - Convert PDF file menu as follows.
    Applied to PS, EPS, XPS, HGL, PCL -> Aplide to PS, EPS, XPS, PCL
    Note: This scale also applies when opening PDF ->
          HGL applies PDF reading scale correction of input file setting Dialog
    Conventionally, the same value was used for Convert PDF file and PDF open, 
    but this time separate memories are memorized.
Ver. 10.06 May 08, 2018
(14) Fixed the problem that the mirror does not be applied the hatching 
    angle when DXF, SXF was output with mirror ON.

    the mark pen color does not change.
Ver.10.06 October 23, 2018
(28) Kanji of HPGL specification is to switch to kanji mode and to use JIS 
    code by LB (Label) command. However, there is data that uses ShiftJIS 
    code in the case of not switching to Kanji mode (1 Byte mode). 
    Therefore, even in such a case, we improved to display Kanji.
(29) When Text size correction was set to something other than 100% with 
    Set-Text, it did not work correction value or position of Text. 
    We improved this.
(30) If Text is on the boundary of the drawing size, influence the drawing 
    area. Conventionally, when "Text size correction" is set to a value 
    other than 100% in Set-Text, when opening a file, Text area was 
    calculated with standard size. This was changed to the corrected size.
(31) In case of combination of DV (horizontal writing, vertical writing 
    character) instruction and LO (designation of left alignment, right 
    alignment, centering of character string) instruction, there was a 
    case where character misalignment occurred. We fixed this.
(32) When the Slant angle of Text was other than 0 degree in PDF output, 
    it displayed abnormally. We fixed this.

(36) When inputs DXF file, clockwise circular data was skipped. 
    We fixed this.
(37) It was not corresponded with DXF file input when Text width and 
    Text space were minus (mirror display). Corresponding to this.
(38) Text size at PDF input was adjusted.

Ver.10.10 November 19, 2018
(1) A function to open multiple files at the same time and see by page 
    feed was added.
    To open multiple files, hold down the Ctrl or Shift key and select 
    the file in the Open dialog.
    The order in which files are opened will be the sorted order in the 
    file open dialog.
    Parent Window Displays the name of the first file in the title.
    Child Window Displays the file name of the open page in the title.
(2) The function to combine multiple files into one multi-page HPGL, 
    PDF, TIFF, SXF file was added.
(3) One file consisting of a plurality of pages is stored as a separate 
    file (HPGL, PDF, TIFF, DXF, DWG, IGES, SXF, Bitmap etc.).
    A page number ranging from _001 to _999 is appended at the end of 
    the file name.
(4) For automatic output special specification version, you can use 
    wildcard (*. Hgl) for input file name when launching PloView on 
    the command line.
    This allows multiple files to be read at the same time.
    The order of opening files is alphabetical order of file names.
(5) When multiple files are opened at the same time, [Multi-page file 
    name] is displayed on the "Request-Input file attribute" menu.
(6) Layer function added in PDF output.
    Layer attribute is added for pen color or page when multi page is off.

    PDF reading module.
    * Traditionally, when reading PDF files edited with PDF editing tools 
      such as Acrobat, edited figures were not displayed.
      We made it to display.
    * Text reading processing was adjusted.
    * The clipping process was adjusted.
(10) Processing speed has been greatly improved when multiple file 
    conversion processing is performed at once for the automatic output 
    special specification version.
    It is realized by newly preparing the next command line.
       PloView.exe /z "batch file name"
    The batch file is a file conversion process of one line at a time, 
    describing the conventional command line parameters, and this is 
    described in plural lines.
(11) When character width or character height is minus in reading EMF file, 
    it was not displayed with mirror-on.
    We tried to display with mirror-on.
(12) Fixed an error that caused automatic scale correction of PDF file 
    setting by selecting set - input file menu.
(13) When opening a file with edit ON, the window in the surface was 
    changed from filling to alternate filling.
(14) At the time of EMF output, the character width sometimes became 
    abnormal depending on the situation. We fixed this.
(15) When the origin of Bitmap data is outside the drawing area, the 
    position of the Bitmap is displayed displaced at Plotter output.
    We fixed this.
(16) We modified the garbled character by conditions in HPGL file output.
(17) An error occurred when the width of the drawing size or the height 
    was zero in the image file output. We fixed this.
(18) In DXF, DWG output, polyline error sometimes occurred. We fixed this.

(21) Added "Display page thumbnail in PDF viewer" function in PDF output.
(22) Output "Output page range" as "Prezent page" with various outputs. 
    After that, we fixed the problem of outputting present page when 
    outputting with "Assign Pages".
Ver.10.10 April 26, 2019
(23) Since the HPGL file has no drawing area information, the maximum 
    area of figure is used as the drawing area.
    The "Set""Input File" menu now allows you to select the method for 
    determining the drawing size of the HPGL file from the following.
     * Figure maximum area
     * PS (PlotSize) instruction area. 
       Maximum area of figure without PS instruction.
     * IW (Input Winow) instruction area. 
       Maximum area of figure without IW instruction.
     * IP (ScalePoint) instruction area. 
       Maximum area of figure without IP instruction.
     * Automatic (PS    IW    IP    maximum figure)
    In addition, setting whether to include the origin in the drawing size.
(24) PloView drawing area (Dis-All area) when reading DXF / DWG file 
    can be selected from figure maximum area or drawing size of 
    DXF / DGW file.
    The PloView drawing area when reading SXF file is the drawing size of
    the SXF file.
(25) The drawing area of output file was made the same as the 
    PloView drawing area in DXF and SXF file output.
(26) Information indicating drawing area is included in data in HPGL 
    file output.
    When this HPGL file is read by PloView, it is reflected in the 
    drawing area (whole display area) of PloView.
Ver.10.10 May 07, 2019
(27) It was corrected that an error occurs when opening a compressed 
    file according to conditions.
Ver.10.10 Jun 01, 2019
(28) Fixed the problem of abnormal display when there are multiple 
    Splines according to the condition in DXF file input.

Ver.10.11 August 20, 2019
(2) Improved that the layer attribute of comment data was not output 
    when "Layer output" was set for PDF output.
(3) DXF output when opening a file with "Multi Page" ON sometimes lacked 
    the comment layer attribute. This has been improved.
(4) The picture layer name in the DXF output help was modified.
(5) Improved so that input pen information is not displayed in SetPen 
    Dialog and Request-Pen Dialog when opened with "Edit" ON.
Ver.10.11 Oct 01, 2019
(6) When ordering from Japan, the tax of the license fee was changed to 10%.
Ver.10.11 October 19, 2019
(7) When putting the Windows GodMode icon on the desktop, an error 
    occurred at startup. This was repaired.
Ver.10.11 January 14, 2020
(8) Conventionally, free software "Teigha File Converter" has been used 
    for DWG-DXF conversion.
    Open Design Alliance, the copyright holder of "Teigha File Converter",
    has changed it to "ODA File Converter".
    So we responded to this.
    Note: "Teigha File Converter" can be used as it is.
(9) Added support for text format codes (Unicode, MIF, forced line feed) 
    when reading from DWG or DXF.
Ver.10.11 May 18, 2020
(10) DXF, DWG, PDF, and EMF files could not be opened normally when the 
    decimal symbol in the numeric format in the Regional and Language 
    Options of the control panel is other than ".".
    I repaired this.
Ver.10.11 September 12, 2020
(11) When inputting a comment Macro, it has been fixed that it hangs when 
    a file other than the comment file is input.
(12) When you try to open another file or close after entering or editing 
    a comment,'Comment is changed. Save it ?'Dialog is displayed. 
    Changed to display the comment file name to be saved here.
Ver.10.11 November 15, 2020
(13) Fixed an error in "Search line connection" when the View file 
    drawing area is larger than the comment maximum drawing area. 
    Also, "Search line connection", "Edit" ON to open, and "Convert 
    Connect Line to Comment" command will display a message to scale 
    down and reload the View file.
Ver.10.11 December 31, 2020
(14) After opening the multi-page file, closing all child windows 
    and pressing the page switching button resulted in an error.
    I fixed this obstacle.
Ver.10.11 April 01, 2021
(15) Fixed a problem that sometimes causes an error when an image file 
    such as TIFF or Bitmap is opened and rotated and displayed.
(16) In the plotter output, even if the HPGL origin position was set
    to be the same as the drawing origin, there was a problem that
    the position was at the lower left. This was repaired.
(17) When a file containing image data was opened and output to a 
    plotter, there was a problem that the display position was misaligned
    and a large margin was generated.
(18) When a file containing an IW instruction (area clip instruction)
    was read and output to a plotter, there was a problem that the
    clipped area was shifted depending on the output setting conditions.
    This was repaired.
Ver.10.11 July 18, 2021
(19) When opening multiple HPGL files and outputting HPGL Plotter, 
    if there is a PS (drawing size setting) command and image data in 
    the second and subsequent files, the problem that the display 
    position of the image shifts has been fixed.
Ver.10.11 August 15, 2021
(20) The following startup command line is supported for the automatic 
    output special specification version. Wildcards can be specified 
    for the input file name without specifying the output type(screen display).
    Example: PloView.exe "C:\Temp\*.Hgl"
      Open all files with the extension .hgl in "C:\Temp" in multi-page. 
      PloView is displayed on the screen while it is running.
Ver.10.11 August 18, 2021
(21) Fixed the problem that hangs when multiple files are selected in 
     "Open File" Dialog on Windows 10 Pro PC.
Ver.10.11 December 26, 2021
(22) When outputting to "Windows Printer" with "Output" "Printer, Plotter",
     if "Plot Area" is set to "Zoom Area of Upper Window", the drawing 
     position may shift.

Ver.10.12 December 30, 2021
(1) When "Atypical" was selected for "Paper name" in various outputs, 
    the initial values of "Atypical width" and "Atypical height" were
    298 mm and 210 mm at the first output after starting PloView.
    The values of "Atypical width" and "Atypical height" were stored 
    at the end of PloView, and when PloView was restarted, it was set 
    to the value set at the previous output.
Ver.10.12 January 3, 2022
(2) Changed the text of the button in the "Set Plotter" Dialog of 
    "Output to Printer, Plotter".
    Change the text of the "Set End, Output" button to "Print"
    Change the text of the "Set End" button to "Close"
Ver.10.12 May 2, 2022
(3) The HPGL output has been fixed so that the image is displayed out 
    of alignment.
(4) If the HPGL data has FP (fill) following EP (edge ??line), the system 
    will be abnormal due to comment conversion. This was repaired.
(5) When the HPGL data had continuous EPs (edge ??lines) while changing 
    the pen, the pen width did not change when converted to comments. 
    I made this change the pen width.
(6) When reading a PDF file, the line width of the device-dependent 
    line width pen was displayed as 0.03 mm, but now it is displayed 
    as a line width of 0 mm (minimum width that can be displayed).
(7) Fixed the problem that the characters in the vertical font rotate 
    90 degrees when reading the PDF file.
(8) The temporary processing file that caused an error at the end of 
    the program was deleted.
(9) When a file containing double-byte characters (Kanji) was converted 
    to a comment, the problem of garbled characters was fixed.
(10) Fixed the error that the setting file does not exist when 
     outputting SXF.
(11) When the program is started, the Main Window size and position at 
     the time of the previous termination can be restored. 
     When normalizing from maximizing the Main Window, the child Window 
     sometimes protruded from the Main Window. It was improved so that 
     it would not stick out.
(12) Help for "Relation of extension" Dialog was not displayed. 
     Improved to display.
Ver.10.12 May 9, 2022
(13) The zoom area information shared by all child windows is now retained
     for each child window. In the past, multiple child windows were created,
     the display area was changed for each window to maximize the window, 
     and when the window was switched, the same area was displayed.
Ver.10.12 June 8, 2022
(14) When all the constituent points of the surface are the same, when 
     opened with Edit OFF, only the outline is drawn and not filled, 
     and when opened with Edit ON, it is painted normally, but there is 
     a problem that it hangs in the comment attribute display. 
     This has been improved.
(15) Added support for alpha blend bitmaps in PDF and EMF files.

Ver.11.00 July 27, 2022
(1) Compatible with Windows 11.
(2) Code signing was added.
    By attaching a code sign, the software distribution source is 
    authenticated, and it is guaranteed that spoofing and content 
    tampering have not been performed.
    Recently, Windows and security check software have tightened 
    security checks, and there are increasing cases of false 
    recognition even though there is no virus. Code signing may 
    reduce false positives.
Ver.11.00 February 10, 2023
(3) Added the following text to Article 2 of "License agreement".
    "This software cannot be operated remotely."
(4) Open a black-and-white TIFF file, select [Set] [Pen], set 
    [Set to Black and White mode] and [output] to ON, 
    and when outputting to PDF, the black and white reversed 
    PDF file will appear. Fixed this bug.

Ver.11.01 March 18, 2023
(1) Fixed the problem that the paper size of the PDF file output 
    by automatic paper selection is slightly deviated from the 
    standard size when the standard size paper is selected for 
    PDF output.
(2) Fixed the problem that when the paper is set to 
    "drawing area + zero margin" in PDF output, the figure at 
    the drawing periphery of the output PDF file is slightly out 
    of the paper size and is not displayed.
(3) When the left, right, top, and bottom drawing positions of 
    various outputs are set again in one of the outputs, they are 
    reflected in the other outputs.
    However, when the output device for plotter/printer output is 
    switched to HPGL Plotter, the drawing position is automatically 
    set to the lower left. There is a possibility that other output 
    may be performed without noticing the automatic switching.
    Therefore, after outputting to HPGL Plotter, the drawing position 
    is automatically restored.
Ver.11.01 September 15, 2023
(4) Updated the deadline for code signing.
(5) Fixed the following problems in the input/output of PDF and 
    EMF files.
  * Abnormal display of Bezier curve during input
  * During input, display abnormality of POLYPOLYGON (surface) with 
    multiple closed loops
 @* Character display abnormality when inputting/outputting a file 
    with characters in vertical writing font with @
(6) Corresponds to vertical writing FONT characters with @ in 
    input/output of HPGL1, DXF, DWG, IGES, SXF files
(7) Character size adjustment and vertical character error correction 
    when outputting DXF and DWG files
(8) When exporting DXF and DWG files with AutoCAD version GX-5, 
    the font used to be AutoCAD's own Vector Font, but changed to MS Gothic.
(9) Corrected that the character area when selecting individual 
    characters was abnormal when there were multiple lines 
    in the character comment data and the line feed direction was up.
(10) The comment attribute window used to have to be closed after 
    each selection. The attribute is displayed by selecting it continuously 
    with the window open.
Ver.11.01 October 20, 2023
(11) Corrected a hang problem when specifying a file type other than 
    "cmt" in Macro input for comments.
Ver.11.01 December 31, 2023
(12) When inputting PDF or EMF files, if "Set" - "InputFile" - 
    "Setup when opening PDF file" - "Delete painting out of white" 
    was turned on, the rectangular filled data was not deleted. 
    I decided to delete this.
Ver.11.01 March 3, 2024
(13) The following HPRTL commands are now supported.
    'ESC%A'(enter PCL mode), 'ESC*rB'(end raster graphics)
    Previously, when opening a file, the image shape of this 
    command was ignored.
Ver.11.01 April 22, 2024
(14) The arc of the comment surface is displayed as a polygon. 
    At that time, I had drawn the arc decomposition angle at 
    5 degrees for the edges and 10 degrees for the fill, so when 
    I enlarged it, the shapes of the peripheral parts did not match.
    Therefore, the arc decomposition angles for edges and
    fills were unified to 10 degrees.
Ver.11.01 April 29, 2024
(15) Fixed a bug where a white filled rectangle was displayed at 
     the top left of the drawing area when inputting PDF or EMF files.
     This issue is an improvement related to paragraph (12).
     This works regardless of whether "Set"-"InputFile"-
     "Setup when opening PDF file"-"Delete painting out of white" is ON/OFF.
Ver.11.01 May 11, 2024
(16) When inputting a PDF or EMF file, if there was binary data of 
     a raster image figure, there was a problem in which the figure 
     would not be displayed in very rare cases.
     This time, we have revised this.
(17) When inputting PDF or EMF files, it took a long time to open 
     if there were raster image shapes. This has been sped up.

Ver.12.00 December 1, 2024
(1) The quality assurance section of the license agreement has been revised.
(2) In the "Set Input file" dialog, you can now select from the following 
    options for "Data format after reading PDF file (Vector/Image)".
    If your PDF file has complex clipping, please switch to [2][3].
      [1] Vector
      [2] Complex clip: no is Vector / yes is Image
      [3] Image
(3) The HPGL MC command (merge control) "MC,1; (merge ON)" did not work, 
    so it was added.
(4) The routine for reading the coordinates of geometric points when reading
    PDF and EMF files has been completely replaced, and the following 
    improvements have been made.
    - The origin has been changed from the upper left to the lower left.
    - Support for Mapping Mode, which sets the coordinate system of Windows GDI.
    - Scale correction has been performed on EMF file input converted 
      from PDF to EMF.
(5) The following problems have been fixed when reading PDF and EMF files.
    - Circular arcs
    - Rectangles with rounded corners
    - Lines are displayed abnormally when moving the pen up -> drawing text 
      -> moving the pen down -> drawing text
    - Bitmap (STRETCHDIBITS, SETDIBITSTODEVICE) fills the area with black
    - Hatching angles of 45 degrees and 135 degrees are reversed
(6) Support for brushes with bitmap patterns (MR_CREATEDIBPATTERNBRUSHPT,
    EMR_CREATEMONOBRUSH) when importing PDF and EMF files
(7) Surfaces (arcs are decomposed into polygons) with more than 20,000 
    component points could not be displayed. This has been improved so 
    that surfaces with more than 20,000 points can be displayed.
Ver.12.00 December 5, 2024
(8) If the number of closed loops that make up a face exceeded 5,000, 
    the face could not be displayed.
    This has been changed so that the face can be displayed even if 
    the number exceeds 5,000.
(9) Prevented an abnormal termination when the number of fonts exceeds 
    32 during PDF output.
Ver.12.00 February 21, 2025
(10) Comment data would draw the bitmap shape first, then other shapes.
    Therefore, if the bitmap and the filled rectangle were in the same
    position, the bitmap would not be visible.
    So, you selected the "Set" and "Pen" menus and applied the 
    "Turn down image" check ON/OFF function to Comments.
    When ON, the display order is other shapes --> bitmap
    When OFF, the display order is the order of data input
Ver.12.00 February 26, 2025
(11) When outputting PDF, if the TEXT component point exceeds the 
     A0 size, the display of TEXT was restricted. 
     This restriction has been lifted.
Ver.12.00 March 8, 2025
(12) Ver.12.00 December 1, 2024 added the function (3), but the 
     following problem occurred and was fixed.
     When dragging a shape in comment data editing, traces of 
     the shape movement remained.
Ver.12.00 April 3, 2025
(13) The installation file name has been changed from setup.exe 
     to SetupPloViewE.exe.
Ver.12.00 May 17, 2025
(14) The geometric points of DXF, DWG, and IGES exported figures 
     may be shifted by 0.025 mm. This has been fixed.
Ver.12.00 July 19, 2025
(15) When inputting PDF or EMF, if the bitmap figure meets the 
     following conditions, the display scale becomes abnormal.
     When the bit unit length of the width and height of the bitmap 
     figure matches the HPGL unit length.
     This has been fixed.
Ver. 12.00 January 24, 2026
(16) When "AutoPaperSelect" is selected for "Paper Name" in 
     PDF, Tiff, JPEG, Bitmap, GIF, PNG, PCX, FPX, WMF, PS, FPS, 
     SVG, XPS, or PCL output, the previous help text stated, 
     "If the drawing area is larger than A0, it will be A0 Landscape."
     This was incorrect and has been changed to the following:
     "If the drawing area is larger than A0, the paper size will 
     be the drawing area with the specified "Output Scale" plus 
     the "Paper Margins.""
(17) When "All of Draw" is selected for "Plot Area" in PDF, 
     Tiff, JPEG, Bitmap, GIF, PNG, PCX, FPX, WMF, PS, FPS, 
     SVG, XPS, or PCL output, previously, the lines around the 
     drawing area would disappear during output, so a margin of 
     +1mm was added to the drawing area. However, if you select 
     "Drawing_area+margin" for "Paper name," the output drawing 
     area will be larger than the drawing area.
     For example, if you output input data on A3 paper, the output 
     paper size will be larger than the A3 paper size.
     This time, the +1mm margin has been eliminated. As a result, 
     there are cases where lines on the periphery of the drawing 
     area disappear, but this can be resolved by setting 
     "Paper margin."
     In addition, errors in the calculation of the output paper 
     size have been corrected.
