Create & Edit Tables
In ActCAD there is a provision to import an external CSV to table and export CAD table data to an external CSV file. This table is fully compatible with tables in other CAD software. You can perform many operations like insert/delete rows, insert/delete columns, merge cells, un-merge cells etc. You can change cell Background and Text Colors. |

Drawnings audit Batch Mode
(Interactive Mode) ActCAD has a special tool to audit & fix any internal errors in your dwg/dxf files in batch mode. Select the location of input folder & ActCAD will open each drawing, do database audit, automatically fix any internal errors and save the drawing to output folder. The process will repeat in a loop to avoid all manual operations. |
|
Import Point Data from CSV File
Many times users have point cloud data stored in Excel/csv files.
ActCAD has a provision to directly import all these points with one button click as geometric points to working drawing at correct 3D locations. You may have to adjust your point styles option to view the imported points inside your graphics window. |
|
XREF Manager
XREF Manger is very useful to manage external references used in a drawing. You can attach or detach references to drawing using this dialog. XREFs are powerful means to link drawings without adding up the size. Also they maintain associativity between linked drawings. You can view the XREFs either as normal list or ladder structure. |
|
|
Arc Aligned Text
ActCAD has ARCTEXT command to create and edit curved text in your drawing. You can apply many text and alignment styles in this dialog. You can double click on existing ARCTEXT and change its parent arc apart from editing other parameters. A text preview is provided on the dialog to see the text before actual placement into drawing. |
|
|
|
Annotative Objects
Annotative objects are useful to get different sizes of entities like text, hatch, dimensions , tolerances, blocks etc. in multiple viewports. You can define many annotative scales for these objects and call one of them in layout/viewport. This will ensure correct display of scales in viewports irrespective of their scales.
