    DuctPRO is an easy-to-use drafting package for inserting HVAC ductwork in your drawings. By simply selecting a width and depth (for rectangular ductwork), or a diameter (for round ductwork), and then locating the points on the duct run, the user can create a full 2D or 3D ductwork drawing. Choices for duct type (rectangular or round), sizes, Z elevation, elbows and branches are all available from the menu. In addition, the user can set DuctPRO to draw ductwork to the left, center, or right of given points as well as flat-on-bottom, flat-on-top, or centered on the Z elevation. The ductwork elbows, reductions, branches, vanes, and text are all drawn as you select points.
          EstLink (ESTLINK.ZIP, 02/01)
    This update corrects the problem of having unreadable text due to the white highlight color on yellow text.
          GenOff (GENOFF.ZIP, 4KB, 02/99)  Get Source
    Utility macro designed for constructing (generating) multiple offset lines. GenOff eliminates the need for offsetting multiple lines and then trimming them, and also allows for multiple repetitions of offset lines. Offset distances can be changed at any line segment during the macro to allow for unequal offset lines.
          Gridlock (GRIDLOCK.ZIP, 1KB, 02/99)  Get Source
    Locks every layer's grid settings to the current active layer grid settings.
          Isometric Macro Fix (ISOVIEW.ZIP, 2KB, 02/05/90)

    Ramp Master enables the dynamic creation of both 2D & 3D ramps. Ramps can include curbs and railings. Ramps may be modeled as concrete masses or have a thickness to emulate other construction methods, such as wood. 2D & 3D ramps can be created at one time using Layer Memory to track the layers for each 2D & 3D Component. Layer Memory auto-magically places the components on the layers you specify. All settings are user configurable and may be saved to text files for reuse.
          SteelPro (STEELPRO.ZIP, 109KB, 02/99)  Get Source

          SubText (SUBTEXT.ZIP, 4KB, 02/99)  Get Source
    Text editing macro used to substitute characters and/or words within a line of multiple lines of text using DataCAD's selection menu. SubText also allows the user to substitute text with text strings which are longer than the DataCAD normal maximum.

    Virtually eliminates the need for line fonts with text in them and allows changing text size, text-to-text spacing, and selecting any line font for the line portion of TxtLine. Another feature, not allowable with line fonts, is being able to select different colors for your text and lines. TxtLine then gives you more room to have other line fonts in your font file by eliminating line fonts with text. Lines go in as individual (grouped) entities; pieces of text that cross one another can be moved by using Move or Stretch.

All the settings can be saved to and loaded from settings files allowing you to develop a library of standard window types. Window Master features multiple input modes to allow you to insert the window the way you like. Up to 12 units can be mulled together at any one time.
     
  • Z Master (ZMASTER.ZIP, 9KB, 09/99)
    Z Master lets you save and recall different Z-base/Z-height combinations. In addition these combinations may be linked to a specific layer so that when the setting is used, the Z-base, Z-height, and layer are all set to the user's specifications. Groups of these settings may be saved and loaded from a disk for use in different situations.
