comsDrawIt!
Description
This plug-in puts together a collection of parametric functions for general-purpose profiles (L-shape, U-shape, square, etc.) and commands that will allow you to convert polylines in sheetmetal sections or waterproofing membrane. The commands can be accessed through an integrated tool palette, through its ribbon bar panel or through the traditional command line.
The palette will remember previously used parameters for further quicker selection and will allow to visually changing the insertion point relative to the shape.
The sheetmetal command allows you to specify thickness and bending radius and will work on simple polylines or even already converted sheetmetal shapes, allowing you to change parameters on the fly.
All functions, if applicable, allow you to draw only the external shape, or complete it with section xhatch and/or axis.
Entities will be drawn on specific layers, that users may freely choose and configure.
This software is free and will remain free. However, you cannot sell or distribute it for profit, nor you cannot decompile and use the code without explicit agreement with us.
Beware! This is the final release. There won't be any updates for 2023.
Thank you for all the support during the past years!
Hi, Has anyone found an alternative to comsDrawIT and comsLayerIT since there will be no fiuture development. We are going to miss these tools. thx
You can modify the plugin yourself to run on every AutoCAD version: Look for the file PackageContents.xml of each plug-in in the plugin folder on your PC. Usual paths for plugins are: C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\ %AppData%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\ In the file PackageContents.xml of each plug-in you must look for the following value: SeriesMax= This value defines what AutoCAD version will load up the plug-in and what version will not load it. For the plugin to be loaded by AutoCAD 2023 for example, you have to change the value to R24.3 SeriesMax="R24.3" Now the plug-in will load in AutoCAD 2023.
I can't move on to a new version of AutoCAD without it!
So 2022 coming soon?
Thanks so much for this app.
it seems that I have problems with autocad 2020;
the created object appears offset from the point of origin where the cursor is
Hi, the origin should match the red dot position on the sample picture. You can change the relative origin clicking on the picture. May have you done so without noticing? However, write me at support@quit3.com with detailed information and we will look into it.
cool
2020 ?
Almost there... just doing last tests and checks... ;-)
That's a great app. hope upgrade for AutoCAD 2018 soon!

I really love sheet metal function! I don't understand why Autodesk don't implement this set of function in AutoCAD like a standard command! Just a little note... membrane command should have a linetype generation enabled.
Hi there, Thanks for the app. but tristan piffre, the membrane doesn't work... anyway to fix that?
tout fonctionne sauf la membrane (chose dont j'ai besoin tous les jours) dommage
Hi Tristan, I do not understand French, but if you have problems with the membrane function, please contact our support at support@quit3.com explaining your situation (sorry, but only in english).
Wirklich sehr gut, vereinfacht das Zeichnen. Und spart sehr viel Zeit!
Das ist das beste Werkzeug das ich seit langem gesehen habe. Herzlichen Dank!
thanks, very useful. Grazie mille, molto utile!
It worked like a charm!
Works great for drawing sheet metal
