Graphic Commands Overview
Note:
When the Extension for AutoCAD loads, the Ribbon shows the Archibus tab by default. To see the Graphic and Tools commands, select the Utilities tab on the Ribbon.
The following are the Graphic commands included in the Smart Client Extension for AutoCAD. These are located on the Utilities / Graphic Commands ribbon.
| Ribbon Command | Command | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| New Block Drawing | AFM_ NEWBLOCKDWG |
Starts a new drawing that will be used as a block. This menu option calls the standard AutoCAD New Drawing command. |
| Open Block Drawing | AFM_ OPENBLOCKDWG |
Opens block drawings. This menu option calls the standard AutoCAD Open Drawing command. Note: If you open a block drawing and nothing appears, run Zoom / Extents. Since many block drawings are small, the blocks may not appear until the zoom is adjusted. |
| Erase Orphan Asset Text | AFM_EATEXT | Removes Archibus asset text that is not linked to an asset and so is an unneeded. See Erase Orphan Asset Text |
|
Rename Building and Floor |
AFM_CNGFL |
Renames the building and floor properties for all assets in the drawing in one step. 1. Select the ‘Rename Building and Floor’ command from the Graphic commands on the Utility tab. 2. In the dialog, select the Building and Floor, and then select OK. |
| Auto-detect Boundaries | AFM_BOUNDARY | Creates boundary polylines in bulk by searching existing wall boundaries. See |
