AVC Kit
Win32 and 64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
You can read detailed instructions for each command on their pages on my site: https://sites.google.com/site/avcplugins/kit
Commands that are available only in this Kit:
AutoAnn
It enables and configures the automatic activation of layer for annotations. This is for anyone who is tired of switching layer for texts and dimensions. This command will help get rid of the routine. You can configure a set of commands for which the program will activate “Annotations” layer itself. If a suitable layer is not present in the drawing - it will be created automatically.
AutoOrto
Enables and configures the automatically disabling of the orthogonality mode. When the orthogonality mode prevents you to place the new texts – check this program.
AutoSnap
Enables and configures the automatically disabling snaps. When the snap prevents you to place the new texts – check this program. Don't worry about snap settings – once you have finished entering the text, all snaps will be returned, as they were.
SumLen
This helpful function calculates the sum of the lengths of all selected drawing objects: lines, arcs, and polylines and also 2D and 3D curves. The command may come in handy for a quick calculation of the amount of molded materials out on a flat wireframe drawing. The result is displayed in the console. Please note that if the unit of drawing is set to millimeters, then the program will recalculate the amount to meters.
SumArea
This helpful function calculates the sum of the areas of all the selected objects: closed polylines, circles, ellipses and splines. Works only with flat (planar) closed curves. All other object will be discarded. The function is not appropriate to account the areas of parts with holes because nested contours are added together. The result is displayed in the console. Please note that if the unit of drawing is set to millimeters, then the program will recalculate the amount of square meters.
SawRed
Selected solids are colored depending on the manufacturing technology. If the Technology property = Box or Sweep or Saw, then the details are assigned a red color. If the Technology property = Milling, then green. If the Technology property is not yet full, then the procedure for measurement of the solid is called. About the Technology property see the description of the plug-in Names in the Metric section
Follow the messages on the console. There may be program messages.
