General discussion about BabaCAD / Re: BabaCADORAExtensionLite.bem failed to load

« on: December 02, 2015, 09:31:32 am »

(sorry, unable to modify previous message)

I forgot to mention I'm using windows 7 64bit, together with oracle client 12c 64 bit.

That's a problem. If you read "Requirements and Setup" part in GIS section there is: "Current version of Oracle Spatial AddOn needs Oracle Client 11.2.0.2. If no Oracle Client is installed, then Oracle Instant Client for NT (32-bit) is recommended to install (about 50 Mb)."

So, just install Oracle 11.2 Client (32-bit) and add Oracle_client/bin folder to windows PATH environment variable (if you have another oracle client installed, add this path before others and I recommend to add it to the beginning of PATH, or you can make batch file to set PATH=oracle_client_11R2/bin; and then run babacad.exe).

It must be that your dwg file contains some bad or corrupted entities. You can send that file as attach. and I will check.

Only way is to write LISP function or to create a new command using BabaCAD API. Read about LISP and API in Developer and LISP sections at BabaCAD homepage.

There is a command IMPTXT to import coordinates from .txt file in BabaCAD. BabaCAD is still 2D only (3D version is on the way) and there is no Z coordinate. Depth can be imported only as labels, so .txt file has to looks like (Depth first, then X and Y):

800.0   10.0  20.0
790.0   15.0  22.0

After IMPTXT you will get 2D points (10,20) and (15,22) labeled with 800 and 790.
(All row values in .txt file have to be delimited by TAB).

General discussion about BabaCAD / Re: DCL Dialog possible?

« on: June 23, 2015, 10:16:56 am »

Thanks. DCL language and dialogs are not currently supported. Maybe in future releases. Dialogs and dockable windows can be programmed with BabaCAD API using Visual Studio c++ and MFC.

General discussion about BabaCAD / Re: Does BabaCAD support Chinese font in .DWG?

« on: June 22, 2015, 06:17:48 am »

Thanks for question, as I forgot to write a note about character fonts support in BabaCAD. Currently, only latin and latin-extended fonts a supported (english, german, dutch, bosnian, croatian and all languages with characters in unicode page ranges 0000-01FF).

I recently finished support for non-latin (chinese,cyrillic,arabic...) fonts, and this will be include in next BabaCAD release.

MNULOAD command is reserved for LISP. Download and install LISP extension module (Homepage->Extension Modules section) and MNULOAD will load lisp routines and toolbars from bcad.mnu configuration file that can be found in .../ProgramFiles(x86)/BabaCAD/BabaCAD/Support. You can also add your .lsp files in ..Support/Lisp folder to be loaded on startup. After that you can type custom lisp commands in BabaCAD command line to execute (see examples in ..Support/Lisp folder).

General discussion about BabaCAD / Re: Poly Line

« on: December 05, 2014, 02:45:06 am »

You're doing all well, but only fix width polyline is supported in current version. Some of the missing features a going to be implemented in next main release of BabaCAD (1.4).

Use relative coordinate input. Example: To draw a rectangle block 30 x 800 do this:

- click on rectangle icon or type rectang in command window
- you will be asked to specify first corner, so click somewhere or type x,y coordinate (for example: type 100,100 and hit enter)
- now in command window type @30,800 and hit enter

To arrange objects in space, I recommend you to draw some help lines. Start POLYLINE (pline in cmd window or icon on the left), click on the end point of the first object, then enter @50,0 for next point of polyline to get horiz. line with length of 50 (click ESC or right mouse button to finish polyline). Now click on MOVE, select the second object, pick line's start point as basepoint for the MOVE, then pick line's end point for destination. That's it.

Also, there are video tutorials at http://www.babacad.com/tutorials.html (english) and http://www.babacad.com/tutorials_de.html (deutsch)

« on: September 07, 2014, 05:47:24 pm »

Thanks for recommendation. BabaCAD makes it hard to reach many people cause this is no commercial project with no support at all. But there are good people like you who are helping to spread the news about this useful and free CAD tool.

Best wishes,

General discussion about BabaCAD / Re: Ortho mode

« on: September 07, 2014, 03:08:31 pm »

Thanks. Ortho is not needed cause there is Tracking mode (F11) which tracks horiz/vertical, extension, intersections of lines/polylines. Start pline cmd, specify first point then move around horiz/vert and wait about 1/2 sec for tracking lines to appear.

Good drafting,
Admin

It works for every windows (xp,7,8). Can open dwg up to 2006. Save as dxf 2000 (can't save as dwg). There are few bugs in undo, will be fixed in next release.

User custom menus for lisp commands is on priority list already, and custom toolbar icons too (user will have to write text configuration file for both menus and toolbars).

Variable cursor size is a nice feature, so I will try to prepeare it for 1.3 final release, if not then in next release.

Thanks for suggestions.
