functionalities needed!

Jacek Mroczkowski

 HI everybody!

Bricscad reaaaaaaaly rocks!

Now we have almost everything: sheet sets, publishing, exporting to pdf and dwf, layer filters.... 

Is it possible to have EVEN MORE than autocad? YES. 

My suggestions: (bcad fans - please add your ideas!)

JM1: Drawing Explorer should have the "layouts" icon with the possibility to copy one or multiple selected between opened drawings

JM2: Drawing Explorer should have the possibility to copy page one or multiple selected  setups between opened drawings

JM3: Drawing Explorer should have the possibility to copy one or multiple selected layer filters between opened drawings

JM4: Open file dialog box should have the left pane more customizable - possiblity to add your own locations, and reorder them as needed.

Regards!

Jacek

In addition to "P" (previous) and "L" (last) selection set options I want "N" (new).
That means that "N" will choose all the entities created at the last drawing or editing operation.

For example if I copy 10 circles, "P" will choose the ten original circles,
 "L" will choose the last circle created, and "N" would choose all ten of the created circles.
As it is, I have to individually pick the new objects, or copy-in-place and then move "previous".

"N" would be really helpful, especially now a group of entities pasted into a file are not "P" anymore. That's a major step backwards.

 Do you, BRICSCAD TEAM, plan the implementation of autolisp and/or visual lisp "environment" tools?

... copy one or multiple selected layer filters between opened drawings.

If you are using v13 Pro/Platinum (Windows) this freeware was just updated to support Bricscad.

 I would like to see a built in duplicate entity remover, like the Overkill command that was once available for AutoCAD via the ExpressTools.  I found the XQuickDraw command to be a huge time saver on the last project I was doing, but the duplicate lines did take a bit of time to clean up...

Interestingly, a quick Google search lead to this, apparently Overkill has been included in AutoCAD as a default tool: http://ltunlimited.typepad.com/my_weblog/2011/03/no-longer-express-tools-overkill-ncopy.html

The ability to adjust the vertices in a solid - A solid stretch command - or an option for the way that the default stretch command handles solids.  Currently stretching a solid is similar to using the move command on the solid.  It could be a huge time saver to be able to stretch a solid, use a crossing selection to select the vertices to stretch and then move them as you see fit - you would be able to make some very funky objects in no time.

And/or grip editable solids would be awesome too, if you wanted to take a cube and make it a bit taller, just grip edit it and drag the grips to resize.

The Overkill command is included in the free Express tools

With Drawing Explorer you can now copy Layer States, Layer settings, Text Styles, Dim Styles, etc.. between open drawings.

I wish the program could draw helixes so I could make true threads and  springs.   I don't have any LISP programming experience/  None of the LISP programs I located and downloaded for drawing helixes would work right with 13.2.9.

I would also like a calibration routine like that found in Autocad, so I can get accurate 1:1 printouts in both the X and Y dimensions..   Doesn't anyone but me ever print out labels? 

I want to be able to import and export IGES and STEP.  

Sheet metal unfolding would be nice.

A decent editor for multi-line text and dimensions, which allows me to easily insert special characters like the symbols for counterbore, countersink, spotface, etc. would be nice.  Maybe symbols for welds?

Tim Neumann

I would like to have the multiline text command remember the last text size used rather than base it on whatever was used on Dtext. Maybe there is already a way to do this which I'm not aware of?
