InnerSoft CAD is a plug-in for AutoCAD that installs a set of productivity tools for Civil and Survey engineering, Counting, Estimating and measurements in construction project budgets. The available menus are:
1.- Inquiry Menu
You can get the total sum of areas or total sum of lengths of a set of objects. Additionally you can also get the total sum of a path composed of points that you get on screen.
2.- Export to Excel Menu
You can export to Excel object's properties such as length, projected length, area or volume. You can also export the vertex coordinates of a set of AutoCAD objects such as lines, polylines, points, mesh.
3.- Import from Excel Menu
You can import the vertex coordinates of a set of 2D/3D polylines from a Excel Sheet. There are 3 different methods of importation. You can also import a set of points from Excel defined by (X, Y) coordinates or (X, Y, Z) coordinates. Also, you are able to import a set of texts with an insertion point for each one.
4.- Objects Converter Menu
5.- Survey Menu
You can draw the longitudinal profile of a terrain from a user defined axis. Basic triangulation from a set of points by Delaunay Method. Create a 3D mesh from a set of 2D polylines, LW polylines or 3D polylines. You can compute a 3DFace Mesh volume.
6.- Counters Menu
You can count the texts that matches a substring. This menu also shows, counts and sorts on screen ALL the defined blocks of a drawing.
7.- Modify Menu
8.- Measurements Manager
Measurements Manager has several methods for taking measurements in AutoCAD. You can measure lengths, areas, elevations, distances, projected distances and volumes. The measurements may be from as many drawings as you want. You can also automatically update measurements if the objects in the drawing have been modified. A reference column and two columns with multiplication factors enable you to combine measurements with prices, lengths with areas, etc.. You can create as many items as needed, which are organized by chapters. The file saving, exportation to Excel and exportation to XML of all the data is also available.
9.- CAD Library Manager
10.- Blocks Manager
11.- Various Menu
What is new in this release:
Version 2.5 features the ability for every item in the Measurement Manager to accept measurements from multiple AutoCAD drawings. You can export the data for all managers (Measurements, Blocks and CAD Libraries) to an XML format file. In the Inquiry Menu, Export to Excel Menu and Measurements Manager, you can calculate the area of planar quadrilaterals 3DFaces (previously only planar triangular 3DFaces were accepted). New tool for finding the convex hull of a set of points, placed in the Graphs tool of Various Menu.
