Utilities - Distance, Autonumber & Vee-notch

These three programs are free for anyone to download and use - simple programs but quite useful. All zipped up into 1 file they should be un-zipped into a sub directory called "addcad" located within your main DesignCAD program directory. There are bitmaps if you wish to create your own toolbar or there is a toolbar already set up for you. If you find them useful, or indeed if you think they're rubbish, then we'd like to hear your comments! Contact us at info@addcad.co.uk or fill in the form on our contact page.

Distance

A simple utility that measures distance & angles between 2 points in either 2D or 3D space with a little more info than the standard DesignCAD command.

Distance is shown in drawing units and the precision can be altered to show in up to 10 decimal places. The precision is saved for the next use.

Autonumber

A utility for sequentially numbering items on a drawing. The start number can be set as can the step - e.g. for numbering in tens. The next number in the sequence is saved for use the next time autonumber is loaded.

The numbers can be shown as plain text, balloons or pullouts.

 

Vee notch

Used to show the position of a fold line on sheet metal. Particularly useful when folding irregular shapes where it is difficult to use a backstop on a press brake.

Veenotch(2) allows the user to position a notch in a straight line by setting 2 points. Veenotch(4) allows positioning on a line or corner and can be tilted in any direction by setting 4 points.

The width & depth of the notch can be set and is automatically saved for the next use.
