If the object is an entity, you can replace them otherwise, use the “name” property.
Instead, use “Entityname” and “Entitytype”.
The head of the enumeration must be changed from “Ac” to “zc”. For example, change “acadLine” to “zwcadLine” and change “acadArc” to “zwcadArc”.ģ. All the object names with the prefix of “acad” must be changed to “zwcad”. Replace “thisdocument” with “thisdrawing”.Ģ. But you will need to make some modifications before migrating the code, which can be done with global search and replace.
#ZWCAD 2011 PORTABLE PORTABLE#
Notice that it supports all entities in drawings.ġ.Q: Is it possible to migrate my VBA applications from AutoCAD to ZWCAD?Ī: Yes, of course! VBA is designed to be portable between applications.
#ZWCAD 2011 PORTABLE PDF#
Here is an example of the result from PDF plotting. This is the most important feature that caught my eye. One more thing I want to share is that all user-defined layers in drawing files can be transferred to PDF files. I often use the default settings, which have met my needs so far.
This is enough for ordinary images and displaying hatches. In the settings, you can find that the maximum resolution can reach up to 4800. To get to the Custom Options dialog box, follow these steps:ģ) Click the Custom Properties button in the dialog box. To enhance the quality and readability of PDF file, make the settings as shown in the following figure. The PDF printer is automated installed after the installation of ZWCAD 2011, it can be found in the dropdown list in plot dialog box like below: In addition, PDF plotting includes layer support, which is also not supported by “Export” command. It has these advantages over the other formats:Ī) PDF (portable document format) is a commonly used file format, and there are many free readers for viewing it.ī) With PDF plotting, I can choose the plot area I want, which is not supported by “Export” command.Ĭ) With PDF plotting, I can set many properties, such as DPI (dot per inch), which makes the PDF image clearer with higher resolution. Older versions of ZWCAD provide some file formats that I could use for drawing reviews, such as JPEG.
#ZWCAD 2011 PORTABLE INSTALL#
It is not possible to install CAD software on each of their computers just to check my work. It helps me a lot when I need to share designs with customers and bosses.ĭuring the design cycle, I usually need to send several drafts of my drawings to project leaders and customers, so that they can check and confirm whether the design meets their needs. I am excited that PDF plotting has finally come true in ZWCAD, something which I have expecting for many years. By Cora Maureen, an architecture designer and CAD software user
