ZWCAD response to modification commands (such as Copy, Move, Rotate, Mirror, Scale, Array, Wblock, and Copyclip) is considerably faster. 

• The performance of Copy/Move/Rotate/Mirror/Scale/Array/Wblock/Copyclip has been increased about 100%

The text function has been reconstructed using Unicode. Now text displays more accurately, especially when it loads from a different DWG code page.

Along with many improvements to hatch function in the 2008 version, ZWCAD2008i goes further by allowing you to make one or two color to do gradient hatch.

Now you can align TIFF/TIF images according to a .tfw coordinate file, lining up reference images accurately with the coordinate units of your project.

An addition to the DRX programming interface in ZWCAD2008, the new Custom Object function makes developing custom applications easier.

Improved Design Center offers you a convenient way to manage the issues of your drawing, such as dimension style, blocks, text style, line types and layers. Just drag and drop, you can apply them from any source drawing to your current drawing. Source drawings can be on your computer or on your local network. In addition, you can also search drawings with drawing name or drawing size. It means that you can use the information of other drawings in current drawing more conveniently.

The QuickCalc includes basic features similar to most standard mathematical calculators. In addition, QuickCalc has features specific to ZWCAD, such as geometric functions, scientific functions, a Variables area, a Units Conversion area and a Text Calculate area.

Comparing to general calculators, QuickCalc is an expression builder. For greater flexibility, it does not immediately calculate an answer when you click a function. Instead, you compose an expression that you can easily edit it, when you are finished, you click the equal sign (=) or press ENTER. Later, you can retrieve the expression from the History area, modify it, and recalculate the results.

Mprint offers a new solution for a merge print between several drawings without changing contents via copyclip. Now you can merge several drawings for batch printing just as you would use several viewports in one drawing. Arrange the content by dragging files into position and specifying the desired sizes. If necessary, you can save the configuration for later re-use.

As a helpful reminder of the options available when using a particular tool, the tip of the cursor tool dynamically displays information after actions are performed.  When the action is performed, a list of all possible commands near the cursor. It allows you to choose the next step rather than inputting the command manually.
