Redline Pro 1.0.0 — Official Release

We are excited to announce the official 1.0.0 release of Redline Pro, a standalone, client-side engineering review workbench and drawing comparison studio.

Redline Pro brings fast drawing diffing, full PDF markup capabilities, bi-directional CAD conversion, and industrial PCB CAM inspection into a single desktop application—completely offline with zero external network dependencies and zero telemetry.

Highlights & Key Features

  • A/B Drawing Compare & Registration:

    • Sub-pixel automated alignment detecting translation (dx, dy) and rotational skew.
    • 3-Point Fiducial Snap for matching reference points across schematic revisions.
    • Real-time 60 FPS Split Curtain slider and 4x Loupe inspector.
    • Jump-to-Defect navigator with noise filtering and checklist triage (Open, Approved, Flagged, Ignored).
  • PDF Studio & Engineering Typography:

    • Direct on-page inline WYSIWYG text editing and annotation.
    • Streamlined Font & Paragraph ribbon with unified point-size selection (8–72 pt + custom sizing) and stepping controls.
    • 18+ built-in engineering typefaces plus on-the-fly .ttf, .otf, and .woff custom font loading.
    • ANSI/ISO scalloped revision clouds, multi-point leader callouts, and cryptographic SHA-256 verification stamps.
  • Bi-Directional AutoCAD DXF Engine:

    • Export vector PDF drawing paths and text directly to AutoCAD R12/2000 ASCII .dxf.
    • Support for engineering units (mm, mils, in) and standard scale presets (1:1, 1:50, 1:100, 1:1000).
    • Client-side parsing and rendering of LINE, POLYLINE, LWPOLYLINE, CIRCLE, ARC, and TEXT/MTEXT entities.
  • Industrial PCB CAM Inspection:

    • Native Gerber RS-274X parser handling custom apertures, macros, step-and-repeat, and dark/clear polarity.
    • Excellon NC Drill parser with tool tables and routed slot support (G85).
    • Automated IPC Class 1/2/3 DFM clearance checks flagging spacing violations under 4 mils (0.1 mm).
  • Calibrated Measurement & Magnetic OSNAP:

    • Scale calibration against known drawing dimensions in English (mil, in) and Metric (mm, µm) units.
    • Point-to-point distance, multi-segment cumulative polylines, and shoelace polygon area calculations.
    • 8px Magnetic Object Snap (OSNAP) targeting endpoints, midpoints, intersections, and centers.
    • Numbered inspection badge placement with automated BOM tally lists and CSV export.
  • Performance & Data Privacy:

    • 512×512 virtual tile rendering with LRU cache disposal to handle massive A0/E-size sheets without memory leaks.
    • Background Web Worker thread offloading for pixel diffing and connected region clustering.
    • 100% offline and air-gapped—your files never leave your machine.
    • Portable .redline session saves and multi-page executive PDF audit report generation.
