General discussion about BabaCAD / Re: Upgrade to 2020?
« on: March 12, 2021, 05:53:17 am »
I have licensed 2018 version. Is there an option to upgrade to 2020 or I have to pay the full price?
"BabaCAD Home" license allows you to download updates and new versions in one year. Only "BabaCAD Enterprise" licensed users can upgrade to newer versions regardless the time limit and no matter how many versions are released in the meantime.

Use command UNITS. Type 'UNITS' <enter> in command-line and choose 'E' (engineering - feet) or choose option 'A' (architectural - inches).

I found this AutoCAD's .lsp on the internet and it works in BabaCAD also (just copy the code to dist.lsp file, copy dist.lsp to Support/LISP and add 'lisp\disp.lsp' (without quotes) to Support/bcad.mnu below the **LISP (lisp load section) to have dist.lsp loaded on startup). You can also add an icon for DIST command (would be placed into 'LISP Examples' menu), and everything is explained at the top of bcad.mnu file.

To get distance measured, type DIST in command line and specify points to print out measurement value on the command line.

(defun c:DIST ()
(setq x1 (getpoint "\nSelect First Point: "))
(setq x2 (getpoint x1 "\nSelect Second Point: "))
(prompt (strcat "\nTotal Distance = " (distance x1 x2)))
(princ)
)

BabaCAD has "Properties" palette/window (on the right app's side). When line or polyline object is selected, "Length" attribute in "Properties" shows current length of selected line/polyline. For multiple selected objects, lisp command can be coded. I suppose that lisp already exists on the net, but if not I can write that lisp command and post it here. Then you just copy lisp command code to lineslen.lsp (create a new txt file in notepad) and copy .lsp file to Support/Lisp folder. Run command APPLOAD and choose that .lsp before command LINESLEN to execute. Also you can add lineslen.lsp to bcad.mnu (located in Support folder of BabaCAD installation; Program Files/BabaCAD/BabaCAD 2020...).to be loaded on BabaCAD startup.

General discussion about BabaCAD / Re: Mid point on osnap
« on: January 19, 2021, 05:15:33 pm »
Mid-point OSnap already exists. It works on LINE objects. Draw line object. Start another drawing command (another LINE or ARC/CIRCLE) and move cursor near the middle of the line object and OSnap will snap to mid-point (orange rectangle marker shows on), same like it activates on end-points.

You're welcome. Thank you for using BabaCAD. I don't have wine here, but I have some pepsi in the fridge. It's raining here in Sarajevo, but ideal evening for watching movies and #stayathome :)

Plot in BabaCAD is explained with all details in video tutorial ('How To Plot Your Drawing in BabaCAD') which can be found on Tutorials link on website main page: https://www.babacad.com/tutorials.html

To specify your rectangle as a layout for printing, first must go to Layout view (click on Layout tab at the bottom or click MODEL/PAPER switch toggle button on the bottom of app window). Also, be sure that your Model is active (double click inside of viewport rectangle or click MODEL/PAPER switch, and your mouse cursor will change to crosshair cursor). You can use mouse scroll (middle) button to zoom in/out to find your rectangle in model or you can use ZOOM command (use Zoom/Window option) to select your rectangle to zoom to it. There are few commands in [View] category to set page layout,plotter settings and to add more viewports to your layout. Multiple viewports can be used in your case, so you can have three viewport rectangles on the same page to plot (you can zoom in/out and pan/move drawing elements inside each of viewports idependently). Also you can use PLOTSCALE (can be found in [View] menu) to print in specific scale (ex. R 1:2, R 1:10..., by just typing scale factor after command PLOTSCALE, explained in detailed in mentioned video tutorial).

No more old-style menu (File,Edit...) which can be found on old BabaCAD 32-bit versions before 2017. BabaCAD 64-bit has a modern ribbon-style menu with categories like Home,Insert,Annotation,View,Tools,Lisp. Each category has specific panel groups with icons and commands (Home category is used to be the main drawing menu and it has about 30-40 command buttons/dropdown lists/icons). File open/save and print commands/menu can be accessed from Quick Access Toolbar or clicking on BabaCAD App Icon on the upper-left corner.

If you see BabaCAD looks like in screenshot (BabaCAD Home Edition v2018/v2020) placed at the bottom of the first page on main website (https://www.babacad.com), than that's it. Otherwise, if you see just a few icons like you say, it just can't be (or maybe you mistakenly  installed some other software, not BabaCAD).

Also, there is a quick way to start any BabaCAD command by using new dynamic-input with auto-complete feature. Just start to type command while you have mouse cursor in the workspace. List of BabaCAD commands (starting with the letter you just typed) will appear and you can select the command by pressing down/up arrow keys or press 'Enter' to choose highlighted command from the list.

There are few settings (Object Snap, Tracking lines On/Off, Model/Layout switching, Dynamic-input and grid On/Off) which can be found  at the bottom of the BabaCAD application window (orange toggle buttons and OSnap popup button with click on down-arrow).

Rotate reference (option 'Reference' added to rotate command) is added in the latest update. There are also a few minor fixes (like problem of image/raster objects don't show if zoomed inside of image).

If you are licensed user (Home 2020 or any Enterprise version) you can download/install update after November 18th.

Go to "View" category in the main menu, then click on "Page Setup" button (it's inside of "Layout" panel). "Print setup" window will show up, and there you can select printer/plotter, change paper size/orientation etc.

No, it isn't. "Print/Plot" is enabled in Trial version (there is no watermark on print, that can be found in "free" student version of some popular but 30 times more expensive CAD software), so you can print your drawings for free during 30 days of trial period.

Here is a video tutorial of how to plot your drawing in BabaCAD 2020:

30-days Trial version comes with 'Save' disabled. The licensed version can save to a file, of course.

Yes, you can use relative input in the most of drawing commands. For example, to draw rectangle with size of width=50 and height=35, start RECTANGLE command, specify lower left corner (click to specify point or type absolute x,y coordinates in command line), and then type "@50,35" in command line and press enter to finish RECTANGLE command.

You didn't delete second copy line 'copy /Y \Work\BabaCAD...' as I wrote in the last reply. Also check that you compiled the project and you have BabaCADNetDemo.dll in output folder (open windows explorer and see if .dll exists in \Program Files\BabaCAD\BabaCAD...\NetProjects\BabaCADNetDemo.dll
Also be sure that you run Visual Studio as Administrator (find VS icon, right click and choose 'run as Administrator', it needs admin rights to copy .dll to \Program Files\BabaCAD... folder.

If you can't get it work (but it must work if everything done correctly), just delete everything in post-build events and manually copy .dll from output folder to \Program Files\BabaCAD\BabaCAD 2019...\NetProjects folder.
