Allgemeine Anweisungen zur Verwendung

  1. Read the description of each A>V>C> plugin command that you plan to use. Contact technical support only if the description did not find the answer. It will take a long time to master all the features and correctly configure all the commands. Do not rush to master them all at once. The A>V>C> commands can work almost independently of each other. Master the commands one at a time. To get started, use the default settings and available "styles" for each command.

  2. Create a dwt drawing template with the sheets (layouts), layers, materials, blocks, text styles, leader styles, dimension and table styles you need. Write this template in the AutoCAD settings in the template for the _QNew command or in the AvcOptions settings in the main template so that the plugins find the necessary layers and materials.

  3. Check that the drawing units are set correctly - millimeters or inches (InsUnits system variable = 4 or 1).

  4. Add custom drawing properties to the template to store information about the design item. This is usually a drawing identifier, the names of the participants in the design, the name of the customer and the product. For the convenience of creating custom drawing properties, use the A>V>C> Properties Palette (AvcPalette) on the Drawing tab.

  5. Use blocks with visible non-constant attributes as title blocks on sheets. Fields must be inserted in the attributes that refer to the properties of the given drawing. Then you can fill in the drawing properties once (for example, in the A>V>C> Properties Palette), and this data will appear automatically on all sheets.

  6. It is better to store large collections of blocks with which you will designate purchased products or standard assemblies in separate dwg files. When updating such a collection, you can easily update the blocks in the drawings with the Block Update (BUpdate) command.

  7. Design a model of your product using 3D-solids.

    1. It is better to design from the dimensional box, peeling the parts with the AVC Slice (ASL), Multi-Slice (MSL) commands.

    2. You can split the overall box into sections using one of the Chop and Chop Edge commands (Ch, ChE).

    3. We also arrange the ribs using the Chop commands with the Ribs option enabled.

    4. The grooves and dadoes are made with the Dado Joint command (DDJ).

    5. The cruciform joints are made with the command Cross-Piece (CRS).

    6. To subtract solids with clearance use the Gap (GAP) command.

  8. Prepare blocks for all purchased items.

    1. Inside these blocks, place solids of the Hole layer, so that the Drill (DRI) command will work later.

    2. For fasteners, you need to prepare blocks suitable for the Fixture command. It is important to correctly orient the solids inside such a block and set up all the placement attributes.

    3. Blocks can be measured with the BlockMetric command so that it has the attributes of size, weight and price.

    4. Then in the Properties Palette A>V>C> (AvcPalette) lock the measurement and enter the correct weight and price for all these items.

    5. Remove the Explodable label from product blocks so that no other commands work with them as with assemblies, but consider them as ready-made purchased products.

    6. Add the invisible attributes you need to the blocks - catalog, article, and the like. Attributes can be added and removed directly in the Properties Palette A>V>C>. Attributes are useful if you need to extract data, for example, for BIM.

  9. Arrange fittings and fasteners. For fasteners, use the Fixture command with your blocks (not the ones included with the program). Remove excess fasteners where there are too many of them. Move where they hit the cutouts and on top of each other.

  10. Drill all mounting holes (additive) with the Drill (DRI) command.

  11. If it turns out that the mounting holes need to be changed, then all holes can be removed with the command Remove Holes (RemHoles).

  12. If you have nothing to do, then you can assign each part a text name such as "Shelf", "Rib" and the like. Write it down in the Kind field. But remember, this is a waste of time.

  13. Record supporting information about the parts in the Info field. For example, write down what dodoes you need to make in the ends of the part.

2024.09.04

Solid metric: the procedure for reducing the size of a part by the thickness of the edge bandings now works not only with 4-sided parts. But only the thickness of the edges directed strictly along X and Y are still subtracted. AvcPalette: Added an option to disable all ordinary properties at once. It makes the palette as compact as possible. LAY & Solid Metric: Now works with round pipes if they are assigned a material of the "Rod" type. Solid Metric: The length of a round pipe bent along an arc is calculated as the length of the arc along the axis of the torus. And the width and thickness are the minor diameter of the torus. The Sweep property is automatically adjusted. Solid Metric: New technology names added: "Cut pipe", "Processed pipe". Fixture: New "Ignore UCS" option. SweepSize: Added options for the size of unfolded solids: Longer side, Center line, Longer Segments. LAY: New Flip option. Dark theme support: Dark background for form section headers.
