English Plugins

How can plug-ins increase your productivity :

PowerClic plug-ins are lisp applications runned on the selection set returned by PowerClic contextual action.

Typically, PowerClic allow you to select or modify entities according to their properties. Once done, you can also run a post treatment.

For instance, the plug-in ALL_SAME_SCALE applied to a selection of blocks, will set them to the same X,Y en Z scale.

You can find plug-ins examples in the PowerClic "/plug-in" directory.

Create your own plug-ins and win a full license of PowerClic :

Your Designing :

A. has to be declared to PowerClic with the following command :

(PW_PLUGGIN_REGISTER '( [commandname] [list of concerned entities][list help description])))

ex : (pw_pluggin_register "hatch_it" '("POLYLINE" "LWPOLYLINE" "REGION" "RECTANG" "POLYGONE")'("Hatch the selected items" ))

B. has to recover the previous selection set with the same instruction as : (setq sel (ssget "_p"))

C. Has to be put in the PowerClic /plug-in directory for an automatic loading.

D. If the plug-in is cripted, it must be accompanied with a "txt" same named file, which gives it description and all other useful information.

Otherwise, this description must appear as a comment. A line command can also be started at loading in order to declare your plug and its author.
