A small set of A>V>C> programs will help CNC technologists prepare optimal contours for milling and laser cutting. The plugin includes all A>V>C> commands for working with polylines and all other curves. You can also build flat contours based on 3D models and export them to DXF.
The set includes all utilities to speed up work and make drawing easier. Numbering commands and the A>V>C> Properties Palette will help you name all contours and set up their properties. The drawing tree and search commands by properties and by name will help you not to lose the necessary objects in larger drawings.
The collection costs 5 times less than the individual programs included in it.
This collection does NOT include working with solids, meshes, blocks, tables, annotations. For these purposes, you need the full collection - A>V>C> Pro.
List of commands included in the A>V>C> 2D kit:
Panel for customizing all A>V>C> commands. Account and license settings. A>V>C> application store.
New properties panel. You can edit the NAME of all drawing objects, like blocks. Editing and adding block attributes, editing parameters. Reverse polylines
Automatically turn on the "Annotations" layer when creating texts, callouts, dimensions, etc. And also turn off snaps and orthogonality.
The plugin helps to switch the keyboard input language. Your native language is automatically turned on by text input commands.
After completing the commands, the English language is turned on.
Intersection of closed polylines and curves as regions.
Subtract closed polylines and curves as regions. Cut with open curves.
Union of closed polylines and curves as regions. Join open curves.
Convert any curves to polylines. Approximation of splines with a specified tolerance. Project 3D curves onto a plane.
Formation of dado joinery between a 2 contacting solids. Automatic creation dadoes, grooves, rabbet, pockets, cutouts.
A panel with a tree list of drawing objects. All parts, curves, blocks, layers and materials in sorted lists. Customizable grouping and coloring. Zooming and highlighting objects in the drawing.
Laying out solid parts, obtaining contours for 2D milling and exporting contours to dxf.
Panel for editing the Info(Description) property for all objects.
Contours for entering the cutter into inner corners.
Isolate selected objects along with those that were previously hidden.
Round all corners of a polyline.
Search for parts and blocks by name, type and description. Search by mask. Invert visibility of found objects.
Get a flat drawing from any AutoCAD object. Project everything onto the XY plane.
Open or close several AVC palettes.
Panel for editing the Sort property for all objects.
Write a number to drawing objects click by click. Insert numbers into Text, Leader, Table Cell, Block Attribute. Change the name of a block, solid, polyline or any other object.
A panel for editing the Name property of all objects.
Preparing part contours based on 3D solids. Polylines for milling, sawing, drilling on CNC with processing parameters in layer names. Calling the program for arranging dimensions.
Give drawing objects names as sequential numbers. Saves time when working with the Layout, Sawing Table, Marking, Smart Leader commands.
Numbering objects by their location along a curve, polyline, spline.
A thousand offset contours in 1 click. Repeated and two-sided offset. Change layer. Delete original.
Formation of closed polylines from any curves. Approximation of splines with a specified tolerance. Cleaning and optimization of contours.
Change the direction of multiple polylines and other curves. Select the starting points of polylines.
Search for similar objects in the drawing, search for blocks by attributes and parameters
The command asks to select any objects in the drawing and leaves selected only those with an empty Name property. After calling this command, you can immediately call up the numbering.
Simplifying polylines and other curves in many drawings at once.
Removing unnecessary polyline nodes. Aligning horizontals and verticals. Straightening arc segments. Closing.
The helper function calculates the sum of the lengths of all selected drawing objects: lines, arcs, and polylines and over 2D and 3D curves. For solids, the metric is calculated and the Length (largest dimension) is summed up. The command may come in handy for a quick calculation of the amount of molded materials out on a flat wireframe drawing. The result is displayed in the command line. Please note that if the unit of drawing is set to millimeters, then the program will recalculate the amount to meters.
The helper function calculates the sum of the areas of all the selected objects: closed polylines, circles, ellipses and splines. For solids, the metric is calculated and the area of the faсade plane is summed up. All other object will be discarded. The function is not appropriate to account the areas of parts with holes because nested contours are added together. The result is displayed in the command line. Please note that if the unit of drawing is set to millimeters, then the program will recalculate the amount of square meters.
Remove from the screen the translucent objects used as error markers in the previous AVC command.
Create a rectangle based on the overall dimensions or on the unfolded dimensions of the solid, if it is marked as Sweep.
Draw a single closed polyline around multiple lines and curves at a specified distance.
Delete saved dimensions and positions of the A>V>C> command setup dialogs.
Regardless of the AutoCAD|BricsCAD localization language, you can switch the plugin to English, Russian, Italian, German, Chinese localization.
