WildTools Developments

In addition to WildTools 10.6, let me mention that I’ve got another project in the works, possibly named WildTools Lite, WildTools Basic, SimpleTools or something similar. It would be a replacement for the PowerCADD tool palette which I’ve always thought was too limited and has many deficiencies, an...

WildTools 10.6

This is a little premature, but I'm working on a new version of WildTools to work with the current shipping version of PowerCADD. It will include all the things I've added in the past four years. Which is a lot... To see this, please visit the WildTools items in the PowerCADD Help menu. In Help/Wild...

Using Global Origin in Drawing Setup

Jonathan, I don’t understand what you are asking for. Perhaps you could take a sample drawing and mark it up with what you are asking for, with a sample table, if not complete then at least with a few sample entries. Typically a dimension point object would show the x and y coordinates as they would...

Using Global Origin in Drawing Setup

Ah, found it. It’s the Drawing Benchmark tool in TopoTools.

It’s used to place a graphic image of the drawing origin, but no text table.

It’s starting to come back...

Using Global Origin in Drawing Setup

Jonathan,

Somewhere we have a dump truck cursor in a tool that’s used to put a text report object in the drawing.

That would be a good way to handle this, if it’s not already used for that.

Using Global Origin in Drawing Setup

Jonathan, Right now I’m working on a new tool palette design with variable sizes. It’s a very complex thing, but I’m making good progress. I’m maybe a month or two from having it operational. When I get it done, I’ll be able to focus on this. Right now I don’t even remember what is involved with thi...

Composite Line Wall Tool

I had forgotten what these tools do. You can set the attributes of the individual wall element tools. That's the purpose of the wall element tools in the first row. Set the attributes for each wall element and then it will be used by the other tools. It's not going to work to do all the other things...

Composite Line Wall Tool

Keith, Marté and Mike,

Not sure I understand the concept. Right now I’m working on something else, so shake my cage when I am back.

OpenClip

Mike, Not aware of any missed communication with FormZ folks. I talk to them regularly, and we are working on an idea right now. They are great people. Problem with OpenClip not working is completely understood. PowerCADD is 32-bit and clipboard routines in the latest MacOS are 64-bit. Not compatibl...
