Using this plugin, you can quickly get a list of 3D-solid dimensions. This is useful when you are designing products made from sheet materials (furniture) and when you need to create a sawing (cutting) table.

The program measures solids, regardless of how they were arranged in space. The program can find identical solids and can group them. Results can be inserted in the Windows clipboard or in an Autodesk® AutoCAD® table. You can insert results in a cutting optimization program (like Сutting3). Also, results can be inserted in Excel, CSV, or XML files. You no longer need to measure many dimensions and insert them into the table manually. You can avoid plenty of mistakes, and your work will be reduced to a couple of clicks!

In addition, the plugin can:

• Process all objects visible through the viewport or ModelDoc=ViewBase view (selecting by view).

• Create a single table from objects from different drawings (DWG or DXF).

• Search for parts within assembly blocks, arrays, xrefs, and dynamic blocks.

• The program can сount how many assembly-blocks are used in model space, no matter how many you have selected.

• List Layer, Material, Dimensions, Number of parts, and any other properties, including descriptions of materials for surfaces and edge bandings; angles of inclination of ends.

• Number the list in order. Part numbering can be saved with solids and used by the Smart Leader.

• Exclude from the list parts that require detailed drawings (not just boxes, but curved parts with holes, etc.)

• Customize the table column list. Create combined columns from multiple part parameters.

• Group a table into sections

• Sort the list by specified columns

• Calculate summary total

• Multiply number of parts by lot size / number of assemblies

• Quickly switch between multiple presets (styles)

• Ready-to-use Sawing Tables styles for exporting data into nesting programs Cutting3, OptiCut, and ViyarPro.

• Customize all these features in a convenient dialog box

• Configure everything from the command line. This allows you to create your own macros and buttons with different options for using the command.

• The program can interact with the plugin A>V>C> Properties palette to get the names of solids, sizing settings, and information about the part.

The program is a specialized variant of the Data Table command and inherits all its capabilities from it.

The plugin can work with 3D solids only. It does not work with Meshes and Surfaces.

This SAW program is the perfect complement to the LAY program. LAY is used for curved details and SAW for boxes. LAY prepares drawings for the CNC milling machine, and SAW prepares the table for the sawing (cutting) machine.

The Sawing Table command is included in the Avc_Saw and Avc_Pro plugins.

In the Avc_Saw plugin, along with the Sawing Table command, commands for working with tables are supplied: "Paste To Table" (PTT) and "SplitTable". As you know, you cannot just copy the cells from Excel and paste them into AutoCAD. This defect is partly compensated by the command "Paste To Table". With its help, you can insert in the AutoCAD table any texts separated by tabs and line breaks. Including data copied to the clipboard using the "Sawing Table" command. And the command "SplitTable" will help to send to the printer a table that does not fit into one layout.

The AVC_Saw plugin comes with the TableUpdate command to update all tables and the TableFill command to fill in the table.

If you did not find the property you need or you need help in setting up, write to avc.programming@gmail.com and offer your price. If you need to export data to an SQL database or web application, this can also be done.

Regardless of the AutoCAD localization language, you can switch the plugin to English, Italian, German, Russian, Chinese (PRC), Spanish, French, or Turkish localization.
