- This disk contains the AutoCAD Standard Menu components,
- several sample LISP functions, a basic program and an
- additional sample drawing file.
-
- The Standard Menu delivered with AutoCAD (ACAD.MNU) is
- actually created from a menu macro (ACAC.MND) and a menu
- compiler (MC.EXE) included on this disk. Instructions for
- using the compiler are in the file MC.DOC. The digitizer
- template overlay of the Standard Menu was created by plotting
- the drawing TABLET.DWG. The menu hierarchy (MENUTREE.DWG) is
- also contained on this disk. Customization of area 1 as
- suggested in Appendix B of the reference manual, is much
- easier using the macro facilities and ACAD.MND. The
- POINTS.DWG is the source of the fancy point display.
-
- The sample LISP functions are described in the first few
- lines of the functions themselves. Some of them are quite
- useful, such as ADIM, (which allows "associative
- dimensioning"), CHGTEXT (which allows string substitution in
- text entities) and DELLAYR (which will delete everything on a
- given layer), while some are samples of the power available
- in the AutoLISP macro language, like SPIRAL and RPOLY. Still
- others are just for fun, like IDLE, TOWER, MOON or the
- competing clocks. If you develop a useful or interesting
- function, please send it in for possible inclusion on the
- next BONUS disk.
-
- The basic program, CONVERT.BAS, uses an AutoCAD version 2.5
- DXF file as input and translates it to an AutoCAD version 2.18
- compatible DXF file. Entity information which is specific
- to version 2.5 (e.g. linetype/color by entity, MINSERT row
- and column information, new system variables) is not translated.
-
- This disk also contains an additional sample drawing,
- LAYOUT.DWG.
