CADPower Commands

Repeat Last Block Insert: CP_RB – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_RB command enhances the efficiency of block insertion by allowing users to repeat the last block used with CP_BLOCKINS. This eliminates the need to reselect the block, further streamlining the workflow for repetitive block placement tasks. CADPower -> Blocks Tools -> Block – Related -> Repeat Last Block Insert Key features include: The CP_RB command is a powerful enhancement for repetitive block insertion tasks, providing unmatched speed and convenience in CAD workflows.

Express Block Insert: CP_BLOCKINS – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_BLOCKINS command streamlines the process of inserting blocks into your drawing by minimizing the number of keystrokes required. By using predefined CADPower defaults for scale factors and rotation angles, it simplifies block placement to a quick and efficient operation. CADPower -> Blocks Tools -> Block – Related -> Express Block Insert Key features include: The CP_BLOCKINS command enhances productivity and consistency in block placement, making it a valuable tool for CAD users managing block-intensive designs.

Trim Lines / Polylines Along Intersecting Blocks: CP_MBLKTRIM – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_MBLKTRIM command allows users to efficiently trim lines and polylines where they intersect with specified blocks. This tool is especially useful for cleaning up drawings and ensuring that linear elements conform to block boundaries. CADPower -> Blocks Tools -> Block – Related -> Trim lines/polylines along intersecting blocks Key features include: The CP_MBLKTRIM command is an essential tool for ensuring clean, accurate designs by automating the trimming of linear entities along block intersections.

Place a Block Along Each Segment of the Polyline: CP_DRAWSEGBLOCKS – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_DRAWSEGBLOCKS command places a specified block along each segment of a line or polyline, stretching the block to match the segment length. This functionality is particularly useful for creating custom patterns or designs along linear elements in a drawing. CADPower -> Blocks Tools -> Block – Related -> Place a block along each segment of the polyline Key features include: The CP_DRAWSEGBLOCKS command is a versatile tool for automating repetitive patterns along polylines, improving productivity and precision in CAD designs.

Explode Blocks to a Specified Layer: CP_EXPLODE2LAYER – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_EXPLODE2LAYER command in CADPower allows users to explode blocks into their constituent objects and move these objects to a specified layer. This tool streamlines the process of managing block decomposition while maintaining organizational consistency in the drawing. CADPower -> Blocks Tools -> Block – Related -> Explode blocks to a specified layer Key features include: Use Case: The CP_EXPLODE2LAYER command is ideal for CAD users who frequently work with blocks but need to decompose them into individual objects while maintaining strict layer organization. It is especially useful in projects that require detailed editing or integration of block components.

Explode Only Nested Blocks: CP_EXPLODENESTED – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_EXPLODENESTED command is a targeted tool designed to explode only nested blocks—blocks that include at least one block (INSERT) object within their definition. This ensures that non-nested blocks are left intact, focusing the explosion process on complex, nested structures. CADPower -> Blocks Tools -> Block – Related -> Explode only nested blocks Key features include: The CP_EXPLODENESTED command is a precise and efficient tool for CAD users who need to work exclusively with nested block structures, improving workflow efficiency and design flexibility.

Multiple Redefine Blocks – Lyr / Clr: CP_MREDEFINE – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_MREDEFINE command in CADPower allows users to redefine properties of objects within block definitions and automatically update all instances (insertions) of those blocks in a drawing. This command is essential for ensuring consistency and maintaining uniform properties across multiple block insertions. CADPower -> Blocks Tools -> Block – Related -> Multiple Redefine Blocks-Lyr/Clr Key features include: Use Case: The CP_MREDEFINE command is invaluable for CAD professionals managing drawings with extensive use of blocks. It ensures efficient redefinition of block properties while maintaining uniformity and design standards.

Connect Blocks Based on Attribute Values: CP_CONNECTBLOCKS – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_CONNECTBLOCKS command in CADPower allows users to connect blocks in a drawing by creating polylines based on their attribute values. This tool is highly efficient for automating the connection of blocks, saving time in organizing and managing block relationships in CAD workflows. CADPower -> Blocks Tools -> Block – Related -> Connect blocks based on attribute values Key features include: Use Case: The CP_CONNECTBLOCKS command is ideal for professionals in surveying, mapping, and civil engineering. It simplifies the process of organizing and connecting blocks in a systematic way based on geographic or attribute criteria.

Compare Block Attributes and Create Report: CP_COMPAREBLKATTS – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_COMPAREBLKATTS command in CADPower is a powerful utility for comparing block attributes and generating detailed reports. It is a valuable tool for quality assurance (QA) and analysis, helping users identify blocks with identical, slightly different, or completely different attribute structures within a drawing. CADPower -> Blocks Tools -> Block – Related -> Compare Block attributes and create report Key features include: Use Case: The CP_COMPAREBLKATTS command is indispensable for CAD professionals who need to maintain consistent attribute structures across drawings. It aids in identifying and resolving discrepancies in block attributes, ensuring data accuracy and compliance with project standards.

Explode Block- Retain Attributes as Text: CP_XP_ATT – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_XP_ATT command is designed to explode blocks containing attributes while converting the attributes into standalone text entities rather than attribute definitions (ATTDEFs). This ensures that the attribute data is preserved as editable text after the block is exploded. CADPower -> Blocks Tools -> Block – Related -> Explode Block- Retain attributes as Text Key features include: The CP_XP_ATT command is a practical tool for scenarios where attribute data needs to be retained and displayed independently after block decomposition, enhancing flexibility in design and documentation workflows.
