Program Structure
/ Construction & AutoCAD Standards
(Built
to the Very Highest of the AutoCAD*
Program Development Standards)
|

|
|
General
:
As
an Authorized AutoCAD Developer, we decided
to follow the very highest of several optional
programming levels suggested by AutoCAD.
HydrauliCAD utilizes the power & solidity
of AutoCAD's ARX & C++.Net programming
to construct the most reliable & flexible
program possible.
|
|
Object
Structure :
The
Basic Hydraulic Objects, the foundation upon which
hydraulic models are built, were built as Registered
AutoCAD Objects, using AutoCAD's ARX & C++ as
the foundation.
They become root AutoCAD Objects and can be viewed
or edited, individually or en masse, via the actual
AutoCAD Properties Palette.
Objects
respond directly toALLl AutoCAD Commands & Tools
because they are true AutoCAD Objects.
Because
Objects are Registered True AutoCAD Objects:
individual Property Editing is done
from within the familiar AutoCAD "Properties
Palette"
ALL Object Editing is done using the HydrauliCAD-AutoCAD
Properties Palette, exactly as you would
edit ANY other AutoCAD Object.
( This applies to Individual HydrauliCAD
Objects as well as to Objects Selected on
masse)
Seamlessly
integrated with AutoCAD:
From a CAD perspective, user can manipulate
the hydraulic elements exactly the same
as any other drawing entity. All hydraulic
data remains only within the drawing. With
no need for external data files or libraries,
any data can be exchanged directly between
models via the AutoCAD DesignCenter.
Fully
customizable:
Covers a larger spectrum of modeling situations.
Hydraulic element properties and commands can be
accessed using VBA and other languages.Tasks
& Tools
As a result of this level of program structure,
AutoCAD Commands are accessed & utilized to
perform tasks at the root AutoCAD level.
HydrauliCAD utilizes the basic AutoCAD tools to
operate it's Tools & Tasks, giving the program
a stability & reliability not achieved by any
other methods.

| Alternative
Copy Methods:
User
could also choose to "Copy Existing" from
the right click menu and copy (those properties
which you set for copy in "Copy Rules")
by clicking on the desired pipe in the drawing -
All Properties NOT set in Copy Rules will remain
unaltered
OR,
you could choose to use HydraliCAD-AutoCAD "Match
Properties" if you wished to edit from within
the drawing.
Match
Properties, and ALL Copy Methods, follow Copy Rules
in HydrauliCAD - thus all Copy Operations alter
ONLY those Properies you wish to be altered.
|
All
Hydraulic Data is Stored Within the Drawing File:
No
external hydraulic files are created, or needed
to run the models.
All HydrauliCAD data is retained within the AutoCAD
drawing itself.
