A3DARX.ZIP 825k A3D is a small utility to facilitate the positioning of

a viewer in 3D space. After you have created a 3D

will want to create perspective views of that
model, A3D helps you in doing so by speaking
english. You start by locating yourself and
specifying your height, and than you locate the
target point and its height. You may also cut the
model with a clipping plane. A view of this
perspective is then saved.
AALAY.ZIP 138k function to rename multiple layers from template
file. Command will sort TEX,DIM,HID,CEN & amp;
CONS entities to their respective Layers. Contains
11 other utilities for manipulating layers by picking
entities on the face of the drawing. Can type 2/3

LM13_2.ZIP 26k Early in 1992 CADD Masters introduced layer
grouping to enhance drawing layer structure,
control and management. Version 2.1 of Layer
Master had all the powerful tools of previous
versions plus the capability to apply the same
layer reference tools by entity pick to a collection
of layers. Large drawings with many components
and sub-components, perhaps a complex
mechanical assembly with many sub and sub-sub
 assemblies, could be managed during editting
quickly and easily. To move a sub-assembly from
one position to another for example, the group
sub-command "L" can be used to select all of the
entities comprising all of the components in the
sub-assembly simply by picking one of the
entities. Layer Master will then place all of those
entities in the "P"revious selection set ready for
manipulation. All of this is done with a single entity
pick remember, with all drawing layers thawed and
visible, saving several minutes of typing, hunting,
view changes, dialogue boxes, add and remove
selection and frustration of sorting through
perhaps thousands of entities. Many more
changes and enhancements were made to Layer
Master over the next few years to further improve
these capabilities.AutoCAD REL 13 has the
capability to group entities directly. Now, Layer
Master for AutoCAD REL 13 DOS/WINDOWS has
become simpler, easier to use and more powerful
than ever. The only group function remaining for
Layer Master to control is the value of the
PICKSTYLE system variable which is toggled on
and off with the LM "G"roup command. Layer
Master is very intuitive to use and doesn't clutter
you drawing area with blinding dialogue boxes.
Simple, intuitive single letter commands can be
typed at the keyboard or picked on your tablet.
LS: Layer Save: Saves the current layers (on or
off, color & linetype) to a file of your naming with
.LYR extension. Saves the drawing name in front
of layer name for use in paper space with XREF's.
See note below "Description of LS and LR". You
cannot use "LS" in paper space,, it is designed for
model space saving with either model space
restoring or paper space restoring. The company I
work for does all of the work for a floor plan in a
LYRORG.ZIP ?
model dwg and then XREF's it into a new dwg and
goes into paper space for setting up the dwg for
plotting and different scales. It works great and
you only have to draw stuff once (except for text
due to scaling of course). LR: Layer Restore:
Restores the layer settings in whatever file you
choose that has been previously saved. Works in
model space without XREF's and in paper space
with XREF's.
MAKEBL.ZIP ? create named or unnamed blocks
This program, a full working version, of MATCH
will change selected entities to "MATCH" some
characteristics of another entity. Very powerful and
MATCH4_0.ZIP ? useful in productive CAD environments. Includes

MKDXF.ZIP ? MKDXF lite Release 3 (C)opyright CADology
Limited. Creates binary or ASCII DXF files direct
from AutoCAD DWG's. MKDXF is a DOS program
that will create Autodesk DXF files direct from
AutoCAD DWG drawing files. The DXF files
produced can be Binary or ASCII. MKDXF
Release 3 can read AutoCAD Release 13 DWG
files but at present only create AutoCAD DXF files
for R12 through to AutoCAD 2.5. Full R13 DWG
support is being implemented and MKDXF will be
available as a 32-bit Windows DLL. MKDXF can
work with single files or with wildcard options for
file selection. i.e. MKDXF fd* B - Build binary DXF
files of all DWG files beginning with fd. MKDXF * 3
- Build ASCII DXF files of all DWG's in the current
directory. A third parameter may be included and
this will inform MKDXF to create the DXF file
compatible with older versions of AutoCAD hence
allowing drawings to be loaded into older copies of
AutoCAD. The conversion codes are: 1 - AutoCAD
2.5 2 - AutoCAD 2.6 3 - AutoCAD Release 9 4 -
AutoCAD Release 10 5 - AutoCAD Release 11 6 -
AutoCAD Release 12 (default) i.e.: MKDXF * 3 4 -
All drawings files in the current directory to ASCII
DXF(3 Decimal Places) and in Release 10 DXF
format MKDXF tries to create a DXF files as near
to AutoCAD as possible, areas included are
SHAPE entities, DOS codepages and differences
between R12 and R11. Compare with other
products and see!. WARNING - This lite version
 only works with DWG's less than 180000 bytes
This system allows you to create a object oriented
part generation.
If you see chair.lsp file each object has its own

is declared as width, height, length, and rotatez
OOPACAD.ZIP 11k (rotation around z axis).The chair.lsp file include
two categories of object. One is robot and the
other is grandpa. You can instanciate by typing
command (expand_node 'robot) for robot, and

advantage of this system is that user can use
block as his own definition. You can create your
block and can put any coordinate system as you
like it.
PROTECT.ZIP ? encrypt AutoLISP files

items without crashing or failing. Neither of these
are actually meant to be used by the CAD
operator as-is; they are for the use of other

sort routine or a multiple-choice list box that you
can use with >100 items.
Utils is a selection of Utility Functions written in
VBA for use in Autocad Rel 14.It consists of 3
Files:CHL.DVB Change LayerCHLT.DVB Change
Linetype CHC.DVB Change Color Along with them
I have Included UTIL.LSP and UTIL.MNU. These
2 files provide the link between Autocad and VBA
UTILS.ZIP 33k
by providing a Toolbar to select a routine and a
lisp file that loads and runs the routine. I have
provided these files mainly to show what can be
done using VBA and Autocad. Please ensure that
all files are in a directory called c:\utils and that
this directory is in you Autocad search Path.

WSSW_V1.ZIP ? This is a full, working copy of WSSW's Visual
LISP Version 1.0. No restrictions, no kidding and
it's nearly free. We request that you post at least
one program you produce with Visual LISP as
freeware to GO CADENCE and GO ACAD
forums. That's the only cost. Western Sierra
Software Works! is proud to have furthered the
use and adaptability of AutoCAD by producing our
Windows AutoLISP editor. Many users have
purchased VL1.0 from us, we are glad to have
had the business and would like to thank each
and every one of you who sent us fifty bucks.
Every person who has a registered copy of Visual
LISP 1.0 and has sent us a registration card will,
when we release it at a yet to be determined date,
recieve a free update to VL2.0 and they have our
thanks for making a couple of guys who decided
to start a small software company near Lake
Tahoe in northern California into the programming
fools we are today Those people allowed us to
continue on our quest to be way more involved in
programming than is healthy for a normal human
 being. Thanks for the Pepsi and Pizza. This
freeware is not eligible for update, but keep your
eyes peeled, if you like 1.0, you'll love 2.0. You'll
see it on Compuserve first, but it's gonna cost you
somewhat more than one free uploaded program.
Convert Excel 5.0 Spreadsheets to DXF! 1)
XLS2DXF converts spreadsheet ranges to DXF
files. 2) Simply highlight a range in Excel and click
XLS2DXFD.ZIP ? "File|Save as DXF". 3) The new DXF file looks just
like the original range of cells. 4) Merge the new
DXF file with existing CAD drawings. 5) Great for
managing Bill of Materials tables! 6) Try the demo!
