DadoJoint
A>V>C>DadoJoint
A>V>C>Formation of dado joinery between 2 contacting solids. Automatic creation of dadoes, grooves, rabbets, pockets, and cutouts.
Trial
With this plugin, you can quickly make the connection of parts of type “dado joint” or “rabbet joint”. Such joints are widely used in the furniture and woodworking industries; the production of frames, walls, and exhibition stands. The program itself will find solids that come into contact (touch) with each other and will extend one solid (make a tenon) and create a dado/rabbet in another.
Program capabilities:
-
Automatically adjust the dado depth to the thickness of the part to make a through window or leave a specified wall thickness behind the dado.
-
Make curved dadoes.
-
Extrude the tenon and dado along rectangular and round beams joined at an angle.
-
Make a stop pad so that the part does not fall into the dado.
-
Lengthen rectangular dados in the whole detail to make them on a circular saw.
-
Make dadoes with a gap for soft compound parts and an additional gap (Backlash) along the dado depth.
-
Make multiple dadoes in one command. Simply select the entire assembly and call the command Dado Joint.
-
Ignore suspicious small contact of solids.
-
Customize all options in a dialog box or in the command line.
-
Customize up to 9 styles to quickly switch all settings at once.
The program is especially useful for assemblies built by the method of cutting off parts from the workpiece (see examples and description of the AVC_Slice plugin).
Regardless of the Autodesk® 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?
-
The program works only in 3D, only with solids.
-
The contact surfaces should be flat, they should be based on the Region, and not the Surface. Therefore, the contacts of imported solids may not be found.
-
Sometimes there are crossing the dadoes and tenons from each other. As a result, erroneous connections may be obtained. It is recommended to check the results of the program and redo the connections again one at a time, consciously choosing the order.
-
Settings "Dado across the entire part" will only work if the contact region is a rectangle. If there are holes in the joined details at the junction, the elongation will not work. The dado can be elongated in a maximum of two. If the joint is much shorter than the details, then the dado will end earlier than the edges of the part.
-
When joining at an angle with extruding along a round beam, if a stop pad is also set, the tenon will turn out not round, but oval.
