DeltaCad is more than just a paint program, because you can edit, scale, move, rotate, copy, etc. individual objects, not just paint pixels. DeltaCad allows you to zoom in to draw fine details or zoom out to see the whole drawing.
DeltaCad can be extended, by writing your own custom macros in the Basic Programming language. You can use macros to automatically create objects, or to read in data, which you have drawn.
DeltaCad can be used for Drafting, House plans, Decks, Landscape design, Newsletters, Brochures, Flyers, Graphs & Charts, Presentations, Instructions, Office or Furniture Layouts, Technical Illustrations, Business Cards, Forms, Signs, Labels, Organization Charts, Flow Charts, Home or School projects, Maps, Schematics, Pretty Pictures, etc.

It’s a shame DeltaCad was discontinued. Guess the developer made enough money off of it to retire.
I have been using D-Cad for many years to create industry standards. I am now using Deltacad 8.0. Unfortunately, when I capture the graphics and paste it in my word document, the fonts sometimes squeeze together. The representation of the final product is not appealing.
Also, lately, since I moved to Windows 11, when I select my geometry (I select only the immediate part of the graphics) and paste it onto my word document, the captured window to be pasted is much larger than taken from the delta Cad file.
Can you offer suggestions/recommendations on how to ensure that the fonts remain the same when transferring to a word file and secondly, what can be done to ensure that only the zone I selected will be the one pasted onto the word file?.
I have tried Arial fonts and am now using Times New Roman CE
