hello Lars,
Lately I've been working a lot with cadtools and I've got an idea about how to speed up the work with it. Could you implement in cadtools a configurable module/tab/window of "favorite functions"?
it would be really nice to have this tab where we could add specific functions that we use in a certain workflow instead of going through all the menus. this tab should have a settings file so you could configure this tab for different workflows.
another thing would be a module for batch creation of layers when using cadtools but I can do this myself with autolisp... this would be the first thing I'll do when get some spare time.
best regards,
raul

Hi!
Have you used the "Comman tree" mode? It might have what you are asking for.

yes, something like that but customizable like a custom toolbar in autocad. a window where we can place 5 to 10 functions that we use very often in a certain workflow.
for example:
design workflow
1. convert polyline to 3dpolyline
2. create surface
3. profile 3dpolyline
4. 3d alignement
5. offset/multioffset 3d polyline
6. create longitudinal features
7. edit surface
8. create profile
9. create cross sections
and then we could make other customized tabs for drawing editing, surface analysis etc.
unfortunately since cadtools is a program that runs outside of autocad we can't reach it's functions from within autocad and make custom toolbars.
