Commandes

Icône du ruban/de la barre d'outils Commande Description de la commande

atl-SetScale

This command is the key to the functionality of the PWGSCAtlantic Tools. Dimension Style, Multileader Styles and Text Style defaults are created and/or set current and many Autodesk® AutoCAD® system variables are changed match to the scale factor requested. It can be invoked at any time during the editing session and as many different scale factors as required can be set and used.

atl-PWGSCLIB

The PWGSC Atlantic Library command will launch the AutoCAD Design Center directly into the root of the PWGSC Atlantic Region library. The PWGSC Atlantic Library contains all of the Title Blocks, Annotation components, Graphics and Symbols that have been compiled for use with the PWGSCAtlantic Tools. You are able to browse all of the library through the AutoCAD Design Center.

atl-QA

The CADD Standards can be checked using the Quality Assurance Check accessed through the infamous 'Q' tool. This QA Check command launches the Quality Assurance check of the current drawing. It will place an assessment of the drawing in the Windows Notepad Application. This file is created in the current directory and is overwritten with a new file each time the “Q” Button is clicked.

atl-PWGSCHelp

Displays the comprehensive PWGSCAtlantic help file.

atl-PWGSCOptions

Options controls some of the features associated with the PWGSCAtlantic Tools

atl-SteelShapes

The Steel Shapes command places Metric Structural Steel Shape Blocks into the drawing. It allows you to browse from shapes in the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction Handbook and easily view properties of selected shapes.

atl-CloneBlock

Clone Block allows you to rename a selected insertion of a block, leaving all other references of that block untouched. The new block reference can now be modified without affecting the other old references.

atl-Section2

Section Callout 2 places a Cross Section Callout annotation using the Type 2 Key Indicator Callout, automatically scaled based on the current SetScale settings of the drawing.

Problèmes connus

This is an application based solely on the SI system and was not designed to work (and will not work consistently) with imperial units, although; as long as you do not invoke the "Setscale" command, it will not affect your other projects. The "SetScale" command will initialize a metric environment in the current drawing.
