Additional Information

Known Issues

The FAS makes no problems in the model area and runs perfectly tested under Autodesk® AutoCAD® 2014 - 2024. Do not despair if it does not stretch as desired. Just try again with less layers switched on. Unfortunately, the command cannot do everything yet. In 95% of the applications, it works perfectly. But I am working on improving this current one. New in 2022 is the 2D stretching in combination.
