The DDraw (Detailing Drawings) command is designed for maximum automation of the design of drawings for each part. First of all, the program will be useful for those who design furniture, exhibition stands, interiors, and promotional items from flat sheets. The program combines the call of many AVC commands at once. The program saves the engineer from many routine operations and greatly speeds up the work. You just need to draw a 3D model of furniture from the details of solids (solid bodies). The program will do the rest:
-
Finds the same parts, no matter how they are located.
-
The program can pull out all parts (solids) from assembly blocks.
-
It will find an empty space in the model space and invoke the Lay program to lay out the parts with the main plane flat in the XY plane.
-
Will write, if necessary, a heading for each part with a description of the material and quantity.
-
Insert sheets (layouts) from the template and target all viewports to the laid-out parts. The number of viewports on the sheet in the template is the number of parts that will be placed on the sheet.
-
Rename sheets according to a template with substitutions. You can list part names in the sheet tab title.
-
Selects the optimal scale for the views. You can set the same scale for all views on the same sheet.
-
Clips viewports to fit the details.
-
Calls up the NC Preparation program for recognizing machining technologies and preparing contours. The contours of milling, drilling, and sawing are recognized.
-
Calls the Dimensions to Detailing program for each part.
-
You can configure up to 9 styles of command settings and quickly switch between them right from the command line.
-
You can configure all options in the dialog box and in the AutoCAD Preferences window.
The program uses all the features of the LAY command: numbering parts, setting headers, multiplying quantities, sorting parts, etc.
Also available are all the options for optimizing contours, rounding or selecting corners, as in the Outer Contour (OSL) program. The capabilities of the CNC preparation program are used to create the contours of the exits of the cutter for the part, select the entry point of the cutter, and so on.
The program can interact with the A>V>C> Properties Palette; the part name and other solid properties can be used in the part header sheet name.
The DDraw command is also included in the set A>V>C> Pro.
Regardless of the AutoCAD localization language, you can switch the plugin to English, Italian, German, Russian, Chinese (PRC), Spanish, French, or Turkish localization.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Are there any known issues with this product?
Program restrictions
It is required to prepare a template drawing in advance with a sample sheet, on which there must be one or more viewports.
The program does not work with ModelDoc views (_viewbase). But you can add such views and sections after running the DDraw command.
The program works only with 3D-solid and does not work with networks, or surfaces.
The program makes only one view per part. If the "Both Sides" checkbox is set in the LAY program settings, then the DDraw command uses separate viewports for the front and back views. And these viewports will not be aligned with each other.
The program is slow because it does a great job with every detail and adds thousands of objects to the drawing. Try to minimize the number of parts per command call. Autodesk® AutoCAD® does not always show progress and may appear to be stuck. But try to wait 3-5 minutes - there is a chance that the process will complete successfully.
If at some stage a failure occurs, then all previously created objects will be saved in the drawing. You will have to manually remove the details that are laid out from the model and the undeformed sheets.
Is there additional support information provided?
