To update DoView go to http://www.doview.com/update.html. Version 2.0, a no cost upgrade for registered users, introduces a wide range of new features which have been suggested by DoView users. They are:
| • | Link out to local files on your computer to document models |
| • | More support for left-to-right models determined with a ‘model direction: left-to-right’ setting in which DoView links go left to right and auto-formatting of link lines works left-to-right rather than bottom-to-top |
| • | Fonts within models look better. |
| • | Step colors have been adjusted to make tones more consistent with each other |
| • | Zooming much improved, zoom in and zoom out function added |
| • | Several larger font sizes added |
| • | Text can now be in bold or italic as well as normal |
| • | Text can now be aligned (left, center, right) |
| • | Link lines default to go under steps |
| • | Straight links, as well as bent-line links, can now be inserted |
| • | A model ‘direction pointer’ can be inserted to show the direction your model goes in |
| • | Images within steps can be put on the top or the right-hand side of the step |
| • | Steps can contain text with various font sizes |
| • | Steps can be dragged to be smaller than previously |
| • | Option to turn off image within the clone of a step |
| • | Many more paper size options (from letter size to large poster sizes) |
| • | Improvements to web page versions of models |
| • | More quickly link from one step to many steps |
| • | Automatically insert multiple link lines for a step where DoView links have already been made |
| • | Faster cross-page linking for working with large models broken into sub-pages |
| • | Group element can be shown as a box without any text heading |
| • | Change font size of group element heading |
| • | Color of small block next to page names can be set and will correspond to the color of the corresponding page-jump |
| • | Some terms used in DoView have been simplified (e.g. ‘slice’ now called a ‘page’; ‘hop-to’ now called a ‘page-jump’; and ‘record table’ now called ‘details table’). |
