CAD Studio
Force Layer reactor for AutoCAD® - place objects to predefined layers.
See more information on http://www.cadstudio.cz.

Description

FLay is a force-layer reactor for AutoCAD (any version), which automatically places predefined objects (drawing commands) to predefined layers. Using a text file (.TAB) with the list of commands and layers to perform these commands on, you can force AutoCAD to e.g. place all texts to the layer "ANNOTATIONS", place all hatches to "HATCHING" or dimensions to the "DIMS" layers.

You can customize the FLAY.TAB file (or make your own file) in the "Contents/Resources" subfolder of this plugin .bundle.

General Usage Instructions

The FLay module contains commands - as documented above. You can start them via the ribbon or command line.

FLAY.VLX has to be loaded in each session for fully automatic operation! The command-reactor is ON by default. Using the FLAY command (or its commandline counterpart: -FLAY or the FLAY? command) you can setup the reactor parameters and list current assignments.
