Normally creating order forms are a nightmare.
How does everyone else create order forms?
I have no idea how people do it. They would have to manually count/iterate through every single block which exists in the model space and simultaneously note down the parts’ associated panel number(s). They could do it on their PC, or they could do it on paper. And the worst part is, is that it would distract them from doing some real work. (Or work that they would rather be doing).
Trust me – I’ve been doing monkey work like this since I was a kid. Counting panels, counting beams, counting parts: it really is a crime against humanity. Not only is it painfully tedious, it’s error prone: it’s like trying to count the stars in the sky: it is very easy to lose count, to lose your place, or to make mistakes.
Automatic Order Forms Demo – The power of the Autocad API customisation
The power of the Autocad .Net API breaks the back of it for you. I begged the head boss to let me release this to the public, just to give you an idea of the cool things that the API can do. I now present to you automated order forms: no more counting. No more errors. All done in less than 5 minutes (as opposed to five hours).
