Draw a Rectangle Box at The Current Screen Extents: CP_BOXSCREEN – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_BOXSCREEN command creates a closed polyline that represents the extents of the current viewport. This is a quick and effective way to outline or reference the visible area on the screen for annotations, layouts, or other design purposes. CADPower -> Draw Tools -> Rule – Based -> Draw a rectangle box at the current screen extents Key features include: The CP_BOXSCREEN command is a handy tool for CAD users needing to outline or document the current viewport extents quickly, streamlining tasks that rely on precise viewport dimensions.

Draw 3d Polylines With Auto.Elev Increment/Decrement: CP_DRAWPOLYINCRDECR – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_DRAWPOLYINCRDECR command allows users to create or modify 3D polylines by automatically incrementing or decrementing the elevation (Z value) of vertices. This command is ideal for designing 3D paths or terrains where elevation changes follow a consistent pattern. CADPower -> Draw Tools -> Rule – Based -> Draw 3d polylines with auto.Elev increment/decrement Key features include: The CP_DRAWPOLYINCRDECR command is an efficient tool for CAD professionals working with 3D designs, enabling quick and precise creation or editing of 3D polylines with automated elevation adjustments. This feature is particularly useful for topographical mapping, road design, or any project involving gradual elevation changes.

Quick Image Insert (Preserves Aspect Ratio): CP_QImage – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_QImage command in CADPower streamlines the process of inserting images into your CAD drawings while automatically preserving their original aspect ratio. This tool is ideal for adding logos, reference images, site photographs, or any visual elements that enhance the clarity and presentation of your drawings. CADPower -> Draw Tools -> CAD Objects/Symbology -> Quick Image Insert (preserves aspect ratio) Key features include: Use Case: Ideal for professionals who need to incorporate images into their CAD drawings swiftly and accurately, such as architects adding site photos, engineers including schematics, or designers embedding logos. CP_QImage ensures that images are inserted without distortion, maintaining visual integrity and enhancing the overall quality of the drawing.

Quick Hatch: CP_QHatch – CADPower Command

Block Table: CP_BLOCKTABLE – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_BLOCKTABLE command creates a preview of blocks in the current drawing in a table format. This command helps users easily view and manage all the blocks in a drawing by listing their names and associated properties in a table. CADPower -> Draw Tools -> CAD Objects/Symbology -> Block Table Key features include: CP_BLOCKTABLE is especially useful for users working with a variety of blocks in their drawing, as it allows for quick access to important block information, enhancing workflow and simplifying block management in large, complex drawings.

Layer Table: CP_LAYERTABLE – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_LAYERTABLE command is used to generate a preview of layers in a table format within AutoCAD or BricsCAD. This command creates a table that lists all the layers in the current drawing, providing an organized view of layer information for easier management and reference. CADPower -> Draw Tools -> CAD Objects/Symbology -> Layer Table Key features include: CP_LAYERTABLE is particularly useful for users working with complex drawings that have multiple layers. It simplifies the process of tracking and modifying layer settings, enhancing workflow efficiency when managing large sets of layers.

Pattern Placer: CP_PATTERNPLACER – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_PATTERNPLACER command is used to arrange a block pattern inside a polygonal boundary, placing the pattern elements in a row-wise manner. This command is particularly useful for creating tiled or repetitive patterns within a defined area, such as filling a polygon with repeating blocks (motifs). CADPower -> Draw Tools -> CAD Objects/Symbology -> Pattern Placer Key features include: Usage: Applications: This command is especially helpful in architectural and design workflows where repeating patterns need to be arranged quickly and accurately within a defined space.

Roughen a Line: CP_ROUGHEN – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_ROUGHEN command is used to add a randomized, zig-zag effect to a selected linear object, such as a line or polyline. This command is ideal for creating rough or irregular line appearances, often used to represent natural or hand-drawn textures, boundaries, or terrain features in design. CADPower -> Draw Tools -> CAD Objects/Symbology -> Roughen a Line Key features include: The CP_ROUGHEN command is useful for CAD users looking to add an organic, irregular style to linear elements, providing an easy way to create roughened lines with a natural, hand-drawn appearance.

Draw MLEADER (with Lookup): CP_ML_CREATE – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_ML_CREATE command is used to create MLEADER (multileader) objects with enhanced functionality, including lookup capabilities. This command enables users to create multileaders with customizable text or block content that can be linked to pre-defined lookup values, making it easier to populate and manage annotations with consistent information.
