Details on CAD

Information about the menu item CAD.

Functions in this menu are disabled depending on the connection with CAD or currently used module.

You are here:

Menu barCAD

Draw

Draws elements such as radiators, panel heating elements or floor heating manifolds into a connected CAD project. If you try to draw in an already existing element, it will offer to delete the existing element automatically.

Labeling

Labels elements such as radiators, panel heating elements or floor heating manifolds in a connected CAD. An existing label can be refreshed by re-labeling without having to manually delete the existing label.

Note:

This function is only available in combination with AutoCAD.

Refresh

Opens a submenu where you can selectively match individual layers, rooms, room data, building geometries or results with the project in the linked CAD.

Measure length and area

If you place the cursor in an edit field where a dimension entry is required, you can also retrieve the lengths or areas from the connected CAD.

Note:

This function is only available in combination with AutoCAD.

Show/Zoom/Search element in drawing

Highlights an element selected in Building in the connected CAD in color or zooms in on a selected element in the connected CAD. Elements of the same type from the master tables are highlighted in CAD as a group. If you would like to find a specific element from the CAD- model in Building, you can use the Search CAD Element function to select the element in CAD and it will then be displayed in Building.

Delete CAD element

Deletes an element selected in Building in the connected CAD. In Building the element remains preserved.

Note:

This function is only available in combination with AutoCAD.

Define Storey table in CAD

A floor table is automatically created out of the project data in the current drawing in LINEAR CAD Solutions. If a floor table already exists, it will be overwritten automatically.

Note:

This function is only available in combination with AutoCAD.

Rebuild CAD assignment

Building manages all elements that were drawn in CAD. The link can be damaged, for example, by a program crash. If there is such an error, the assignment can possibly be restored with this function.

Attention:

This function should be used thoughtfully and only in connection with the described error case.

Note:

This function is only available in combination with AutoCAD.
