As requested from the "Introduce Yourself" I've put together all of my utilities I've created into a couple of installs for QCAD 32/64 bit Windows systems. In the future I'll create builds for other OS's.
QCAD Utilities provides a wide variety of scripts used to draw architectural, mechanical, structural, and piping components.
The install will copy the utility files into your QCAD folder (so need to specify where QCAD is installed in the installation steps). Once installed start QCAD and you should see a menu added called "Utility". From there it's best to read the help file to get familiar with the different utilities etc.
This install will include the following utilities:
- Layer Manager - Create layers and templates of layers that utilize the AIA CAD Layer Guidelines.
- Tablet Grid - Organize blocks, scripts, commands, and other tablets in a graphical display. From the tablet you can then use it to insert/run/open items.
- HVAC Ductwork - Draws double-line ductwork
- Structural Shapes - Draws AISC W, S, M, HP, C, MC, WT, ST, MT, angles, rectangular and round HSS shapes from XML data sources
- Piping Symbols - Inserts pipe fitting symbols that automatically breaks the lines, and if in isometric view, inserts an isometric version of the block with correct angle and horizontal flip
- Architectural Doors and Windows - Script blocks that creates doors and windows
- Isometric Circles - Draws isometric circles based on the current isometric projection
If you have any issues or feedback please email me at [email protected]
This is all free to use so hope it works ok and is of value to you.
Thanks!
UPDATE:
Here's the latest update (version 3.1.10). If you've installed this previously you'll need to uninstall then install this version.
NOTE: If you call up the Layer Manager (on the home tablet in the Tablet Grid) and none of the dropdowns have values then close the Layer Manager and select the QCAD Help > Check for QCAD Pro Updates.. (if you have pro), otherwise you'll need to create the folders in your ..\AppData\local\QCAD\QCAD folder to allow QCAD to store user data.
Thanks
