... and i'm king of Sweden

Hi,

there is a "timber/beam list" checkbox in the 1-01-6 command dialog that gives a great option to generate specs list of selected beams in the drawing.

But how to get the real dimensions of beams in that list? The only way I found is to insert dimensions as text into "beam type/ designation" box in the "object info" dialog of each element.

Therefore that information needs to update by hand if the element's dimensions have changed.

Is there any options to automate that process?

Thanks!

I think in sum it takes less to purchase Autocad instead of wasting time with such kind of s...ware.

Yes the solution 1) 2) 3) you described is pretty simple. In theory.
In reality it needs a bit (or much) more to gym.

E.g. if there is any basepoint dimension lines every of them need to reverse to get 0-points to proper side. AND that can't be done at once, every need to deal one by one.

If there are any dimension texts moved away from their original location (because of narrow space caused by tiny distances and drawing scale) they don't move with as dimension line is mirrored with drawing. Text needs to be moved separately. Try it please.

Thank you Jim. I see there are many ways pretty curved in D's.

Ok, i made the lines moving. But now some other process get invisible in specified order of lines.

There are 2 houses in my project that are identical but mirrored. I have finished all drawings for one and need to mirror them for another.

Of course. Any lines beginning with ">" sign doesn't let it move.

Doesn't move though i pushed the triangle button several times quite hard
As well the upper process doesn't move downward of the last line.

Hi,

there should be a cutout at the end of the beam indicated with red lines (please see attachment).

That does exist (see the last line in processes dialog) but isn't visible. It's ok if added as first. I really woudn't like to delete every other processes nor start over from beginning.

Thanks!

Hi,

I need to mirror a drawing to same place as original one. But it's impossible without copy! Hence the original and mirrored objects get mixed. How to avoid this situation?
1. mirror with copy
2. delete original
3. move new one to the right place?

I have 20 drawings that need to be updated, sometimes more. What for to triple a work process? How complicated is it to add a simple checkbox to according dialog for copy/no copy option?

In most cases it IS enough.
However, quantity of possibilities should not be achieved by decreasing usage speed and convenience at well designed nowadays software.

Could anyone reveal any option in D-Cad 2D to take objects from a drawing to another using tolerable process instead of grow-up-your-finger-muscules gym-club

1. edit
2. copy
3. select objects (double click for each; ok, there is a rectangular selection option. wow!)
4. finish selection
5. change drawing window
6. edit
7. paste
8. select viewport
9. push insert all/select area button
10. make selection (double click)
11. select the point to position the object
12. confirm coords

?

Huh... what a jouney to bring off an elementary process which should take two clicks as even in the simplest programs i know.

To make alike move between drawings belonging to different projects...
Take a guess.

You have to move your drawing's reference point you'd like to be relative zero (±0.000) to coords 0;0. Now add height flags.
