PANEL PRO

Air 200. This is useful for re-use of drawings.
Use an existing cut file.
1.
Open an existing panelcut.FC7 file (opening a dxf file will not keep the entities
grouped, and is vulnerable to errors)
2.
Immediately save to a newnamecut.FC7 file to avoid contaminating an
existing good file.
3.
To change an instrument, draw a circle in the center of an existing instrument
to make a handy location reference of its center. Delete the instrument not
wanted and insert the desired instrument.FC7, snapping to the center (f4) of
the circle. Delete the circle.
4.
Save as FC7 and then dxf.
Use a DWG file from Easy Cad.
1.
Load the dwg file. This has the same effect as loading a dxf file in that the
instruments may be ungrouped.
2.
Turn the cutout layers back on, and draw circles in the middle of them for
reference. Use mod > center (F4) to snap to the center of existing circles. Hint,
draw the circles on a temp layer, then turn that layer off and erase the other
entities.
3.
Insert the instruments and panels in a FC7 format using the circles as reference.
This is often easier than using AutoCAD directly.
EASY CAD LIST COMMAND:
The list command allows viewing of the details such as start and end points for lines,
radius, center coordinate, start and end bearing for arcs, and the direction of lines.
