1. Batch renaming expert When we encounter a bunch of files that need to be renamed one by one, this tool can help you solve the mechanical movement of repeated renaming. It can automatically modify or rename a series of files according to certain rules, and solve N times of labor in one operation. It is a good software. 2. File name extraction tool When we have a bunch of drawings or files that we need to make a directory, do we have to type the file names into the excel table one by one? No, we just need to click on the tool, and the file name you want to enter will be automatically collected into the excel file, which is convenient! 3. Convert pictures from jpeg to CAD. When we need to draw AutoCAD, what should we do if the blueprint provided by others is a picture in JPEG format? At this time, we can use this software to convert the picture into CAD, and then make random modifications to solve a lot of work time. Especially when there are pictures of topographic maps, this is the most convenient and closest to the original data after conversion. 4. International companies or formal companies that convert PDF files to CAD files are very good at keeping confidentiality. Their CAD results are generally PDF versions, which are not easy to copy, but Chinese people need to learn * Advanced technology and imitation of the final drawing, if the drawing is a PDF version, you can use this software to convert the PDF format drawing into CAD, so that * * Reduce the time spent on drawing, and you can use your energy to delve into the design intentions and techniques of other people's drawings. Small software * * It is worth having to improve work efficiency. 5. CAD window switching gadget is a practical and simple gadget. When you open multiple drawings, it is troublesome to change the window to display the next drawing. You have to click Tools-Window and other operations. Sometimes the wrong window will be opened, especially when copying and pasting between drawings is more complicated. This tool can display the names of all the drawings you open in the form of title bars below or on the left side of your drawing bar according to your settings. Changing windows is super simple and clear at a glance. 6. Paste CAD graphics into word. In the process of writing design reports, it is often necessary to paste the design graphics in CAD into word documents. This software can easily transfer the graphics in CAD into word. The size can be molded at one time, eliminating the need for trimming and adjustment, and can increase the work speed. It is one of the must-have software for design workers. 7. CAD pattern filling encyclopedia. This software can be installed as a plug-in for CAD. It starts when CAD is started. Press the fill button directly and select the pattern that needs to be filled. There are thousands of filling patterns in the filling library, covering all the filling graphics needed in the project. It is simpler, faster and more comprehensive than the filling command in CAD. 8. With the Weiheng drawing review tool, whenever a project is completed or needs to be reviewed in the middle, there is no need to print it out. This small software can help you review the differences and differences in each picture. The CAD comparison plug-in tool does not simply overlap two drawing files to determine the object position for comparison, but goes deep into the drawing to read the CAD attributes of the object for comparison. In addition to the object position, it can also compare based on all attributes of the object such as color, layer, font, line type, etc. It provides free selection of base points for comparison, comparison of viewports, comparisons of blocks, comparisons of drawings, comparisons of drawing layouts, comparisons of external references of drawing files, etc., thus ensuring that the comparison results are comprehensive and accurate, without any errors or omissions. Personally, I think the plug-in version is easier to use than the stand-alone version, and the operation is simple and clear.
