KozMos TableQuickFill
Duplicate annotations with mathematic or alphabetic calculation
-
TableQuickFill-123
TableQuickFill-123 will not only duplicates sequent annotations such as *1,*2...*x but also can perform a more complex steps between the digits. TableQuickFill-123 support Addition, Subtract, Multiple and Divide calculations to one or many numbers. -
TableQuickFill-ABC
TableQuickFill-ABC can only do simple steps jumping between 52 (two 26) letters. The step can be set within the dialog. Some letters can be ignored automatically if we make the proper settings.
TableQuickFill
support two duplication mode: run-time COPY and ARRAY. The ARRAY mode
support five different array directions: Up, Left, Down, Right and Slope. While in the copy mode, user
need indicate the base point and destination location points.
TableQuickFill also support ALIASCOPY
which will copy other objects among with the annotations' duplication sequence.
To start TableQuickFill-123,
just type TQFILL123 at AutoCAD "Command:" prompt.
To start TableQuickFill-ABC,
just type TQFILLABC at AutoCAD "Command:" prompt.
TableQuickFill-123
The
annotation content will be divided into groups of parts based on the
characters' type: normal string or digits. As TableQuickFill-123 will only
run on number, the [OK]
button will keep gray if there is not any numbers selected from the
content analysis list.
We can set the calculation
function and number (or be called as steps) and then manage the result
precision, the UniqueLength will help us
adding extra "0" in needed situation. And the prefix and/or
suffix can also be added to the result number after calculation. This
setup combination provide us a powerful but simple and quick way
controlling the results. In fact, only some settings' change will get a
different result!
Only
array data setting is parameters supported inTableQuickFill-123. The
run-time COPY mode will not need any settings in the dialog.
AliasCopy
is so easy to understand and use.
TableQuickFill-ABC
TableQuickFill-ABC
will only perform on single letters, so the content analysis list is
divided further more to separate the letters.
Most settings are same as
TableQuickFill-123, the only difference is the sort order.
The order
can be select by ascend or descend sequence, step can be 1 or other
integer, the most important setting is the Ignore settings.
In default, TableQuickFill-ABC
support letter sequence as "ABC...XYZabc...xyz", totally 52
letters, but there may be some letters we can not use because they may
cause misunderstanding in outlook such as letter I, l, o etc. The Ignore
feature is designed to filter these unusable letters out from the result.
By doing so, the result letter will automatically JUMP to the next usable
letter if the value matched the ignore letter.
UniqueLength is meaningless for letter, so TableQuickFill-ABC only support AliasCopy and TableQuickFill-123 can be called directly from TableQuickFill-ABC.
As original design idea, TableQuickFill can only array the parent block or the text. Maybe we have other objects needed to be copied among with the annotations. If you have, please enable AliasCopy. Then you can select any objects copied together with the annotations. TableQuickFill only copy these objects while the procedure automatically.
UniqueLength is used to add extra "0" before the calculated result number in order to keep the number length (the main part, fact not included) same. If UniqueLength was set to "###", result digit "-2" will be changed to "-002"; "22" will be
"022".
UniqueLength is only valid for
TableQuickFill-123.
