ROWrpl (Row Replace)

ROWrpl replaces a row of a Room Schedule with the data corresponding to an user-selected RoomLabel block. The command prompt asks the user if the new data to be associative or not. (If the 'associative' option is chosen the data will be associated to the selected RoomLabel block and be updated with every change of its attributes. The 'non-associative' option is set by default.) Then the user is asked to point a row of a Room Schedule to be replaced and a RoomLabel block for this row. The room finish matherials corresponding to this kind of room for the current drawing will also be filled.

RLI (RoomLabelIslands)

RLI command prompt announces the current floor and asks the user to change it or to pick a point in a room. Once a point is picked RLI outlines the room with a polyline boundary detecting islands, puts the created polylines in the AREA layer and inserts a RoomLabel block in the LABEL layer. If AREA and LABEL layers are not set by the INFO dialog, layers named respectively "AREA" and "NUMBER" will be created. AREA and PERIMETER attributes are associated with the room's boundary. The area is the difference between the maximal area of a polyline and the areas of the rest of the polylines created for the room. The perimeter is the sum of all the polylines created for the room. The label gets a serial number for the current floor - the next ascending or the minimal missing number.

RLE (RoomLabelEdit)

RLE asks the user to select an existing label (a block named "RoomLabel") and then asks for an object which the label should be associated with. If the object is a polyline the command writes down its length as a perimeter attribute of the selected label. If the object is an associative hatch, region or another entity with calculable area but without a length property the perimeter of the room will not be present in the label.

RLN (RoomLabelNumber)

RLN renumbers RoomLabel blocks in the order they are picked starting from a number entered by the user.

ROOMS (Room Schedule)

ROOMS asks the user to select RoomLabel blocks for a Room Schedule. Then starts a dialog with the room finish matherials stored with the current drawing. These predifined matherials could be edited and completed or replaced with Global Defaults. The edited matherials will be saved with the drawing. They could also be saved as Global Defaults (the 'Save As Global Defaults' button) and then imported in another drawing (the 'Import Global Defaults' button). Global Defaults could be modified from every drawing (the 'Edit Global Defaults' button). The Room Schedule is optionally (via the ROOMS dialog) associated to the RoomLabelBlocks it's been generated from and being updated with every change of their attributes

RL (RoomLabel)

RL starts with a prompt that announces the current floor and asks the user to change it or to pick a point in a room. Once a point is picked RL outlines the room with a polyline boundary (without detecting islands), puts it in the AREA layer and inserts a RoomLabel block in the LABEL layer. If AREA and LABEL layers are not set by the INFO dialog, the command creates layers named respectively "AREA" and "NUMBER". The AREA and the PERIMETER attributes of the label are associated with the polyline boundary of the room and will be automatically updated with every change of this boundary. The label gets a serial number for the current floor - the next ascending or the minimal missing number. The command repeats for convenience. To exit press ENTER.

RLEX (RoomLabelEditX)

RLEX asks the user to select an existing label (a block named "RoomLabel") and then asks for an object which the label should be associated with. If the object is a polyline the command writes down its length as a perimeter attribute of the selected label. If the object is an associative hatch, region or another entity with calculable area but without a length property the perimeter field will not be present in the label. The command also changes the number of label with the following number in ascending order or the minimal missing number for the floor of the selected label.

RLEXX (RoomLabelEditXX)

RLEXX asks the user to select an existing label (a block named "RoomLabel"), then asks for an object which the label should be associated with. If the object is a polyline the command writes down its length as a perimeter attribute of the selected label. If the object is an associative hatch, region or another entity with calculable area but without a length property the perimeter field will not be present in the label. Finally the command asks the user to enter a floor tag and gives the label a serial number (the following number in ascending order or the minimal missing number) for this floor.

INFO

The INFO button starts a dialog allowing the user to customize some settings of the ARL Toolbar commands - units' mode (Decimal/Architectural), units' conversion factor, units' symbol being displayed as a suffix of the perimeter value (this symbol will be automatically added squared as a suffix of the area value), layers for the room labels and for the room boundaries, etc. It also gives the opportunity the RoomLabel block modified in the current drawing to be saved to the RoomLabel.dwg file so that this instance of the block to be used in all later drawings. While no changes are made by the INFO dialog during the current drawing session the ARL Toolbar commands will be working using their default settings: 0.01 for units' conversion factor (from cm to m), "m" for units' symbol, 2 leading zeros for a digit room number, a layer named "AREA" for the room boundaries and a layer named "NUMBER" for the labels.
