New function - Dwg base
Meet the new and, I'm more than sure, the most unique function – Dwg base!
You might think - "So what’s unique here? Function with base blocks and drawings. Surely there are plenty of such ..." But no! This function has two distinct features.:
1) Download files on demand. Let me explain - when you install or update the dwg database, then only one file is downloaded to your computer as an xml file. But when you open a function, find some necessary block or drawing in the database, then when you try to insert it, the function will offer you to download this file! You do not need to download your ALL database of blocks and drawings, but only those files that are necessary for you! Of course, there is an option for those who do not have access to the internet network - on the base page on the site you can download both the pointer file and all the necessary files from the base.
2) Base occupancy is made by ITS USERS! This is the most important uniqueness! The function has the ability to create your local database. And there is an opportunity to send this database to the site server! Not all of course, but selectively, at the discretion of users. Once a week, and maybe more often, I will check the sent files (you can't blindly believe anyone) and add them to the main database.
I express my deep gratitude to two people who are always actively helping me. Firstly, Vladimir Malyugin, who first added blocks to the base. And he did it manually even while I was developing the function! Secondly, Maxim Markevich, who, despite the tight schedule due to the release of his new course on Revit, found a free evening and recorded a video presentation of the new function:
As always, when new features are released, I hope the users are responsive. I don’t have a group of testers and errors in the function are possible. Therefore, be careful and save before using the function. And of course write about the errors found and suggestions on the forum.
I have it all. Enjoy your work with ModPlus plugin
