PlantExpressTools
Win64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
When using the coordinate function additional properties will be created in which the calculated coordinates will be stored.
When using rename/copy project you can rename a project or copy a project with or without drawings.
The assembly routine creates a new class and a default symbol. After that you draw a polyline and convert it into an assembly. After that you can assign the objects within the polyline to the assembly.
With Export/Import you can export, edit and import selection lists, symbol and class properties.
Update Line annotations assign line annotations to the closest line segment.
Nozzle check compares the sizes of the nozzle with the line segment.
From/To update creates additional properties to store useful from and to values.
Update Tags and Acquisition rules updates those either in the current drawing or the whole project.
Take a look at the online documentation to fully understand the features within PlantExpressTools.
