NYacadFREE
-
Version
05
Nyacad FREE is a FREE set of AutoCAD utilities. The
current release contains 28 AutoLISP and VBA commands.
Main features:
MIDWAY point: finds the point located between two
points in transparent regime
HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL TEXT: auto text Height
assignment depending on Dimscale and Active Space;
prompt for text rotation is eliminated. No GIGANTIC
sizes of text in PaperSpace anymore!
QUICK MTEXT (zero width): just click one point on the
screen
LENGTHEN command with commonly used DElta option
(fewer number of steps in input)
VERY QUICK LEADER: fast input, auto assignment of
Dimstyle for leader. Leaders are very flexible for
modifications
LEADER (two or three points) without attached text
(e.g. weld symbol leader)
BREAK AT INTERSECTION: the command breaks the line
(polyline or arc) at intersection point using
Multiple regime
TRACE as a solid LINE
TRACE as a solid RECTANGLE (just two points on the
screen). Good for solid hatching of not closed areas:
you do not need to add lines to create closed
boundary and then add solid hatch
MULTIPLE COPY of LAST added ACAD object. Very fast
command: no need to select objects and enter base
point
MOVE LAST added ACAD object (again: eliminated
selection and base point in prompt). This command can
replace the use of Temporary Tracking point while
drafting (it is just faster)
SAVE AND CLOSE drawing in one step without a mouse
RESTORE VARIABLES: set your preferences for important
ACAD variables
VIEW SAVE - VIEW RESTORE: instantly Save (Restore)
view.
FAST CIRCLES. Isn't it better to define circle by its
Diameter, have frequently used size as default and
multiple regime for adding circles? Often this
command is faster than Array
FAST FILLET. Fillet objects using predefined radius
(multiple regime)
FILLET ZERO. Multiple fillet command: radius = 0
MTEXT WIDTH ZERO. Change selected Mtext objects width
to zero.
JOIN POLYLINES (Fuzz distance = 0). Compare with
standard input: Command PEDIT > Multiple > Select
objects > Answer Yes (ACAD prior 2004) > Join >
Confirm Zero fuzz distance > Two times press Enter...
CHANGE LAYER TO DEFPOINTS Change the layer of
selected objects to Defpoints. The advantages of this
command become clear when you need to apply Zoom
(Pan) command to select objects and when you have
several layers with the first character 'D'.
BREAK (MULTIPLE). Common Break command in Multiple
regime: it is faster
SAFE PLOT Two bad things will not happen with this
command anymore. The First: If you forgot to change
LTScale to 1 before sending PSpace layouts to plot,
you will get the wrong appearance of hidden or
centerlines. For fear of First bad thing you are
keeping LTscale =1 even in ModelSpace (everything
looks like continuous). The PF command makes LTscale
= 1 (if you are in PaperSpace), sets up PSLTSCALE to
1 and then performs 'Plot' command. Now when you are
in ModelSpace, feel comfortable to set up any value
of LTScale variable.
NEW in Release 5:
MIRROR: Before you start the mirror command you
already know, what to do with selected objects:
remove them or not. You don't need the prompt about
deleting source objects (eliminated with this
command).
DIMSCALE on the STATUS LINE (auto updated)
REMOVE LAYER FILTERS: Removing Layer Filters is a
tedious task, because you cannot use multiselect or
select all filters you would like to get rid of. The
new form solves the problem
Besides these commands, you have a control on setting
SCALE, TEXT STYLE and DIMENSION STYLE from the main
form. Toolbar menu and HELP file are provided. VIDEO
presentation includes 8 movies.
