ExtractKML for AutoCAD
lignumCAD Version 0.2
When you start ProgeCAD, the program automatically creates a new drawing based on a template drawing, icad.dwg.
This template includes predefined settings such as drawing units, text size, and drawing area. You can either use these settings or change them according to your needs.
There is nothing unique about a template drawing. You can use any drawing as a template for future drawings.
You can save many steps by basing a new drawing on an existing template. By doing this, a new drawing will contain all the settings and entities you need.
When you open a new drawing from your custom template, you can modify existing settings and delete any entities that you don’t need.
To create a new drawing based on a template
1 Do one of the following:
• Choose File > New.
• Type newwiz and then press Enter.
2 Click Use A Template Drawing, and then click Next.
3 To display the Open Template dialog box, click Browse.
4 Select the drawing you want to use as the template,
and then click Open.
5 Click Finish.

Autodesk Marketing has put together a “satisfaction survey” for SolidWorks users to tell Autodesk how much they dislike using the former #1 3D MCAD software. (Thanks to Jim for the lead.)
Questions include:
– Has SolidWorks ever corrupted your files?
– Do you think SolidWorks spends enough time testing their software before they release it?
– What is your biggest frustration with SolidWorks in terms of product quality and performance?
Note that competitors to Autodesk have also run similar “polls” that ask negative questions about AutoCAD and other products. The problem with such polls, of course, is that pro-users will flood them with positive responses, leaving the competitor with fewer negative results than they hope for. After answering the questions, you get to see most (not all) of the results:
– 25% of users find SolidWorks software slow when working with large assemblies.
– 18% find that SolidWorks crashes too often.
– 17% have experienced data loss when importing and exporting DWG file to or from SolidWorks.
– 15% have had SolidWorks corrupt files.
– 71% think SolidWorks does not spend enough time testing their software before they release it.
– 21% rely on AutoCAD or DWG-based products to finish some drawings.
– The average number of hours spent dealing with SolidWorks problems: 161.0
The responses to the last questions (biggest frustration) are not listed. Also missing: the total number of responses. And, we don’t know the number of faked responses, such as the ones I entered just to see the results.
Autodesk Marketing is advertising the poll through Google ads, using pitches such as:
* “SolidWorks User Concerns: Join other users in sharing frustrations about SolidWorks.”
* “Software Quality Survey: Share your experiences with SolidWorks software.”

CAD drawings help you organize information for greater efficiency. With ProgeCAD®, you can draw entities representing different types of information on various layers and use those layers to control color, linetype, and visibility.
ProgeCAD also includes drawing aids that help you draw accurately.
This chapter explains setting up drawings and using built-in drawing aids, including how to:
• Create new drawings, open existing drawings, and save
changes to drawings.
• Use aids such as the grid, snap, and orthogonal settings
to draw accurately.

Some map image sources provide georeferenced raster files. They are simply an image created with a corresponding reference file which stores the proper position (coordinates) and scale of the image. If you have AutoCAD Map you can scale images based on this information but a free AAC Solutions utility also makes this possible in AutoCAD/ADT.
Georeferenced images in AutoCAD – www.cadforum.cz
With the AAC Solutions’ utility – GeoRefImg – you can automatically place georeferenced raster files (pictures) also in AutoCAD or Architectural Desktop (this functionality is by default available only in Map). Any selected raster image (TIF, JPG, PNG, BMP, CIT format) with a World file is automatically repositioned to its proper position (coordinates) and scale.
If you are in New Zealand you can export georeferenced images, anywhere, any scale, from the consumer mapping product: TUMONZ – The Ultimate Map Of New Zealand,
This is great for location maps as you can quickly get an accurate scale map of anywhere in the country.
NOTE: TUMONZ map information comes from the LINZ (Land Information New Zealand) 1:50,000 topographical vector data set. The only requirement for re-using TUMONZ data is to acknowledge that the image / screen-shot / photograph was supplied / taken / produced by TUMONZ

JCCad – Free 2D/3D CAD for Linux
You can tailor many aspects of ProgeCAD to better suit your needs. For example, you can easily create and modify toolbars by simply dragging and dropping icons.
ProgeCAD stores your customized settings in the Windows registry rather than in a separate file. ProgeCAD supports the most important AutoCAD customization files, including linetypes, hatch patterns, text fonts, the unit conversion file, menus, toolbars, and aliases.
In addition, ProgeCAD unifies four AutoCAD customization functions with a single customize command: command aliases, keyboard shortcuts, menus, and toolbars.
You can also add custom programs written in any of several programming languages, including LISP (the program’s Autodesk AutoLISP-compatible language), SDS (the program’s Autodesk ADS-compatible language), and Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
