CadTools General / ZWCAD 2025 not being recognised (wrong version)
« Last post by PDobbs on January 15, 2025, 03:39:04 PM »
Hi, I've just moved from Autocad to ZWCAD but unfortunately CADTools is not recognising ZWCAD - it's set correctly in the settings as far as I can see...

Any thoughts/advice?

Thanks in advance and have a good afternoon  :D

CadTools General / Re: Cross sections in non regular intervals
« Last post by Xenofon on December 17, 2024, 10:53:04 AM »
Yes I am aware of the current procedure... I am using it already as described. "All stations as cross sections" works like a charm for "normal" situations... I was just hoping someone might have an idea that could speed things up for my working scenario where unfortunately the section intervals are not equal and the procedure needs to be repeated for multiple sections, multiple times.

Still thanks for creating cad tools. It has saved me so many times!!!

CadTools General / Re: Cross sections in non regular intervals

Hi,

I'm sorry but there is no such function in CadTools. However you can type in any station in the input box named "Station" and then hit the Refresh button. This procedure will place the cross Section preview at that station.

To plot that section (current Section) select any of the two options "Current Station as Cross Section" or "Current Station as 3D section". The first option will let you select a point for the cross section, the latter option will plot a 3D section placed at correct location relative to the alignment (selected 3D polyline).

After plotting the Cross Section you may enter a new station, hit "Refresh" and repeat the plotting etc.

CadTools General / Cross sections in non regular intervals
« Last post by Xenofon on December 16, 2024, 03:32:57 PM »
Hello!

I was wondering how easy it would be to add functionality to create cross sections along alignment in irregular intervals (possibly by reading stations from a file). Or if someone has figured out how to do it using the current cad tools version, I would really appreciate your input!!!

Thanks a lot for your time and Lars, thank you for this little gem of software. It's a life saver...

CadTools General / Re: CadTools support for autocad 13
« Last post by Lars on November 24, 2024, 04:18:00 PM »
Hi,

If you use CadTools version 766 you will find all supported CAD version currently installed in your computer. AutoCAD 2013 is Named "AutoCAD.Application.19" and should be in your Cadversion list in CadTools settings.

If you type in ACADVER in your command line you will get ACADVER ="19.0" as answer, so you should select "AutoCAD.Application.19 in the List.

CadTools General / CadTools support for autocad 13
« Last post by hatzigia on November 21, 2024, 04:17:12 PM »
Hi there,
I had not updated for a long time and after the update I found out that autocad 2013 is no longer supported. Is there a solution or can download a previous version that supports R2013?
Thanx in advance

Hi,

I'm sorry but that's not possible. Railway vehicles wheels are forced to follow the rail, Road vehicles does not.

Hi, this is Stefano from Italy.
I would like to know if it is possible to include railway vehicles, specifically with double steering axles, in the turning simulation.

CadTools General / Idea (CAD tools): Batch Layer Create
« Last post by uksafa on October 31, 2024, 10:29:21 AM »
The ability to either import CVS file OR copy and paste from a source like notepad or excel into a list which would batch create multiple layers

Would be handy if could also pre-select line types, line weights and color in the tool.

This can already be done in a way whereby you are creating points and can override the layer. The layer may not exist and this tool automatically creates the layer. This however requires geometry in the form of points/blocks....

The idea does not require geometry in drawing space, merely creates layers to which geometry (lines, 3D objects, dimensions...) can be assigned to later on
