This year we would like to devote more time to the ModPlus ISO plugin, which we consider one of the most promising for AutoCAD. And today we are pleased to present you a new smart object - Nodal leader.

A Nodal leader is a relatively simple smart object in terms of the number of entities and the complexity of the interaction of properties, so we made it relatively quickly. But, unlike analogs, we added their own feature - the frame can be round or rectangular:

Today's update also includes fixes for some user-reported Level mark bugs. We also added the "Show asterisk" property to the Level mark:

Some users reported to us that while working, it happens that the graphics of smart objects disappear. We are not yet able to catch and reproduce such a problem, but we added the Refresh Graphics item to the “Find” function:

True, we cannot check this function either, so we are waiting for feedback from you!

Enjoy your work with ModPlus!

We present you an update to the Model cleaning plugin, which has been replenished with three new cleaning functions at once: view filters, schedules and unused shared parameters!

All new cleaning functions are created at the request of our users.

With the functions for removing filters and schedules, everything is obvious - the plugin displays a list of them with additional information (where they are used or where they are inserted), and you simply select the necessary positions and start the removal. But with unused shared parameters it is a little more difficult - in order to correctly collect the list of unused parameters, plugin need to read data from all families loaded into the project. This process may take some time, depending on the number and size of families.

Also, the plugin has undergone a small window redesign and all cleaning functions are now displayed on the left.

When creating the Title blocks plugin, there was a choice - use blocks or use tables. After weighing all the pros and cons, it was decided to use tables, as they are more flexible and convenient for programmatic filling. But, unfortunately, they impose some restrictions. One such limitation is the insertion of signatures.

AutoCAD allows us to insert blocks into table cells, but we have not yet met a single signature that would fit exactly into a 15x5 mm rectangle. And we must somehow get out of this situation.

We decided to resort to the most obvious solution - insert signatures directly over the title block. Of course, there are many downsides to this - signatures have no connection with title blocks, they cannot be quickly and conveniently replaced, unlike fields. But all the same it is better than nothing at all! In addition, AutoCAD out of the box has functionality sufficient for batch replacement of signatures in all title blocks.

Well, for the release of the new functionality, we have prepared a video, which is both a demonstration and a guide for use:

Meet plugin Numbering version 3.0! We've worked on the numbering functionality for non-schedule views, and now:

• plugin window does not block Revit!
• there is an ordinal selection of elements and a selection of elements along a curve!
• added item filters by category!
• the numbering parameter is selected from the drop-down list!

And to demonstrate new features, we made a video for you:

Due to the high load, the web services were divided into parts - a web service for working with a web license server, a web service for updates and a web service for other tasks. At the same time, we had to disable a single web server that combined the listed tasks.

To stabilize ModPlus operation, please update manually using the web installer or download the archive on the Configurator page and unpack all files from it to the folder with the installed ModPlus version with overwriting files (you must first disable the auto-update module).

On 12/22/2020, web services were ported to another platform. Therefore, the update must be performed MANDATORY!

We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Unfortunately, we couldn't do otherwise.
