GeoTools adds two new AutoCAD-2-Bricscad transition tools to help you work easy:
GT_TORIENT (Text Orient, inspired by AutoCAD Express Tools), is yet another 'FREEWARE' A2B transition tool in GeoTools. The GT_TORIENT command works exactly like in the Express Tools of AutoCAD and can be used to rotate text, mtext and attributes such that they can be read easily. In other words, all text matter that is originally rotated between 90 degrees and 270 degrees will get flipped over by 180 degrees so as to be easily readable.
GT_CONVERTPOLY : (Conversion Tools -> Heavy-Weight-To-Light-Weight) ---and--- (Conversion Tools -> Light-Weight-To-Heavy-Weight): GeoTools for Bricscad now has a new command, which is the equivalent of the AutoCAD CONVERTPOLY command. The GT_CONVERTPOLY command converts heavy-weight polylines to light-weight polyines and vice-versa. Supports polylines with width, arcs etc. Please note that the converted polyline are re-created ones and acquire new handles.
With this, we now have 6 useful 'FREEWARE' tools in GeoTools which can help you with your A2B transition:
1. A2B Transition Tool # 1:GT_CONVERTPOLY : (GeoTools -> Conversion Tools -> Heavy-Weight-To-Light-Weight) ---and--- (GeoTools -> Conversion Tools -> Light-Weight-To-Heavy-Weight): GeoTools for Bricscad now has a new command, which is the equivalent of the AutoCAD CONVERTPOLY command. The GT_CONVERTPOLY command converts heavy-weight polylines to light-weight polyines and vice-versa. The GT_CONVERTPOLY command is a FREEWARE tool and will not expire in the evaluation version of GeoTools.
2. A2B Transition Tool # 2: GT_TORIENT : (GeoTools -> Text Tools -> TORIENT, Make text, mtext readable): The GT_TORIENT command is written specially for Bricscad users to make a multiple selection of text, mtext and block attributes upright (readable). It will flip over (rotate by 180 degrees) any text that is rotated between 90 and 180 degrees, thus making such text readable to the eye.
3. A2B Transition Tool # 3: GT_FILTER: (GeoTools -> Selection Tools -> Object selection filter): The GT_FILTER command provides exactly the same functionality that the FILTER command in AutoCAD provides.
4. A2B Transition Tool # 4: GT_TABLEEDIT: (GeoTools -> Miscelleanous Tools -> Table EDit/EXplode): You can breathe some life into AutoCAD TABLE objects after importing them in Bricscad. Either explode it or convert it into an attributed block.
5. A2B Transition Tool # 5: GT_APPLOAD: (GeoTools -> Application Loader and StartupSuite): Enhanced application loader with StartupSuite.
6. A2B Transition Tool # 6: GT_WBLOCKBC: (GeoTools-> Miscellaneous Tools -> WBLOCK and preserve AutoCAD Map object data): Now, open your AutoCAD Map drawings in Bricscad and WBLOCK parts of them without losing object data.
