13 days, 18 hours ago In an effort to save time and minimize input errors in the Fire Sprinkler calculation program, HASS, GeniuSoft has created software to import a DXF file from AutoCAD and save it in the native HASS format (SDF).
This program (FireCalc) makes input quick and easy by automatically setting pipe Size and Type, based on what layer the DXF lines are drawn on. So a line drawn on the layer "FP-MAIN" will automatically be set to be the Size and Type for a MAIN. read more...

25 days, 2 hours ago Previously I wrote about using AutoLISP to create selection sets. While these are great, especially for use in scripts and macros, they are kind of clunky to use if you need a quick selection set. Here are a few quick and easy ways to create selection sets. read more...

25 days, 2 hours ago When Autodesk released AutoCAD 2007 I noticed that when I inserted a block or XREF it would sometimes scale up or down in a way I didn’t expect. After a little digging in the help file I found these system variables: INSUNITS, INSUNITSDEFSOURCE, & INSUNITSDEFTARGET. read more...

2 months, 15 days ago One of my favorite things about using AutoCAD is the ability to write and run scripts to help me do repetitive tasks quickly. A script is a series of commands (just like you type into the command line) that you can save in a text file and run on any drawing whenever you need it. Since it is saved in a text file, you can easily share it with colleagues who might need to use it. I have a library of scripts for repetitive tasks we do at work on a regular basis. Here is how to get started writing a script. read more...

4 months, 6 days ago "This is an addition to a time saver I posted awhile back to open Explorer from within AutoCAD to the folder where the drawing is saved.
This lisp can be altered direct users to a system resource folder where ever it may be. This one is going to a mapped drive where vendor equipment blocks may be located. The back slash means something in lisp. You will have to fool lisp by using a double backslash in the path you are directing users to. " read more...
