CADPower Commands

Search Entities via Handles: CP_FINDHND – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_FINDHND command is a powerful utility for locating and managing specific entities within a drawing by using their unique handles. Each entity in a CAD drawing is assigned a handle—a unique identifier that makes it easier to track and manipulate objects, especially in large or complex projects. CADPower -> Polyline Tools -> Inquiry & Statistics -> Search entities via handles Key Features include: Use CP_FINDHND to streamline the process of finding and editing specific entities, enhancing productivity and accuracy in your CAD projects.

Display Information about Polyline Bulge (Arc Segments): CP_BULGE – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_BULGE command is an essential diagnostic tool for working with polylines that contain arc segments or are curve-fitted. This command retrieves and displays the bulge values at each vertex of the selected polyline, providing detailed insight into the curvature of these segments. CADPower -> Polyline Tools -> Inquiry & Statistics -> Display info. about polyline bulge (arc segments) Key Features include: Example: By using CP_BULGE, CAD professionals can efficiently manage and analyze the curvature of polylines, ensuring accuracy in complex designs and facilitating smoother workflows.

Compute Summed Areas of Closed Polylines: CP_CALCAREA – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_CALCAREA command in CADPower allows users to calculate the total area of multiple closed entities such as polylines, splines, and circles in their CAD drawings. This versatile tool not only computes the summed areas but also offers advanced annotation, reporting, and exporting features. CADPower -> Polyline Tools -> Inquiry & Statistics -> Compute summed areas of closed polylines Key Features: Use Case: This command is ideal for professionals needing precise area calculations for space planning, material estimation, or cost analysis in architectural, engineering, or manufacturing drawings. Quick Tip: Enable the “Export coordinates into CSV” option to seamlessly transfer data for integration with spreadsheets or database applications.

COMPUTE LENGTH: CP_LENGTH – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_LENGTH command is a powerful tool for calculating the total lengths of various geometric entities in your drawing. By selecting lines, polylines, splines, circles, and arcs, this command provides a comprehensive length calculation, offering both horizontally projected lengths and actual slope lengths where applicable. CADPower -> Polyline Tools -> Inquiry & Statistics -> Compute Lengths Key features include: Use CP_LENGTH to ensure accurate length calculations across different types of entities, improving the precision and efficiency of your CAD projects.

Compute Summed Polyline Areas from Selected Layers: CP_LAYERAREA – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_LAYERAREA command is an essential tool for CAD professionals looking to efficiently analyze and manage the geometric properties of their drawings. With this command, users can quickly compute the total summed area and length of all polylines within selected layers, offering a comprehensive overview of their project’s spatial data. CADPower -> Polyline Tools -> Inquiry & Statistics -> Compute summed polyline areas from selected layers Key features include: The CP_LAYERAREA command simplifies the management of large and complex drawings by providing precise and actionable data, improving efficiency, and ensuring accurate documentation.

Compute detailed polyline statistics: CP_PL_STAT – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_PL_STAT command in CADPower provides a comprehensive set of polyline statistics, making it easier to analyze and document polyline details in your drawings. When using this command, you can: This command is useful for creating accurate polyline reports, with flexibility to export or visualize data within the drawing, making it highly beneficial for surveying, mapping, and other detailed CAD applications. More Details Below.. CADPower -> Polyline Tools -> Inquiry & Statistics -> Compute detailed polyline statistics The CP_PL_STAT command generates detailed statistics from a selected polyline. The statistics is reported in three different areas: 1. On the command line: 2. As a CAD Table 3. As CSV files whch can be opened in Excel

Reshape part of a polyline: CP_PARTRESHAPE – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_PARTRESHAPE command in CADPower enables you to re-shape or re-digitize a specific segment of a polyline. By selecting two points on the polyline, you can redefine the shape between them by specifying new point locations. The polyline is then updated with these newly digitized points, replacing the original points between the selected start and end. This command is ideal for refining or adjusting a section of a polyline without affecting its overall structure, providing flexibility for custom reshaping in detailed CAD work. CADPower -> Polyline Tools -> Part Editing -> Reshape part of a polyline

Rotate part of a polyline: CP_PARTROTATE – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_PARTROTATE command in CADPower allows you to rotate a selected portion of a polyline. By picking two points along the polyline, you can rotate all the segments between these points, with the first point serving as the base point for rotation. The polyline is updated with the new geometry while retaining its handle, Xdata, and other essential properties. Note: This command is ideal for precise, localized rotation of polyline segments while preserving the original polyline structure. CADPower -> Polyline Tools -> Part Editing -> Rotate part of a polyline

Mirror part of a polyline: CP_PARTMIRROR – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_PARTMIRROR command in CADPower allows you to mirror a specific portion of a polyline. After selecting two points along the polyline, the segments between them are flipped (mirrored) along the axis defined by these points. The original polyline is updated with the mirrored geometry, preserving its handle, Xdata and other properties. Note: This command is ideal for targeted mirroring of polyline segments while keeping the original polyline properties intact. CADPower -> Polyline Tools -> Part Editing -> Mirror part of a polyline

Stretch part of a polyline: CP_PARTSTRETCH – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_PARTSTRETCH command in CADPower lets you stretch a specific portion of a polyline. By selecting two points along the polyline, you can move the segments between these points to a new location, effectively stretching that part of the polyline. After the stretch is applied, a line is drawn to connect the stretched section with the remaining, unstretched parts of the polyline, preserving continuity. Note: This command is ideal for targeted adjustments to polyline geometry without affecting the entire shape. CADPower -> Polyline Tools -> Part Editing -> Stretch part of a polyline
