list of line types and fills?

[SeaGeoff]

Howdy,
first let me say that after two years with AC I’m am no longer a GDL virgin! I tried to hold out as long as possible but just couldn’t resist the urge to modify some parts. Now I’m in trouble as I’ve already spent a few late nights tweaking code

My thrust at the moment is refining office standards, so I’m tweaking bugs and markers or just building them from scratch. As I explained in a recent topic one thing I need for new employees is a graphic chart showing the line types and fills we have as part of our template. But I cannot find a function that returns the number of fills, line types, materials, etc. so I can script a loop to draw each one. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

In the German Library of AC 81 is something like the object of Matthew.
It is also available for Pens and Linetypes. You can find the files appended.

Thanks for posting, Joachim!

VERY useful; no time for tweaks, so I have to nag: if you stretch, the hotspots don't always keep at the corners, and the fill name text can mix, depending on the scale.

I forgot to thank everyone here. I Modified and translated the German objects. Just the ticket

I just saw today a new item under the Tools menu in AC 8.1- Test it! It's what we need - it places all the fills in the Drawing and the are placed as fills so you can AltClick on them!

I don't seem to have that in my tools menu. Is it an add on located in another location? Thanks

Hi Kliment, same thing here on Mac. Can you give more explanations? Thanks

It's an Add-on and it's called FillPlace2.apex.

Isn't it included in the standard AC installation?!

It was not included in the version I have. Could you email it to me privately? Thanks

It seems I have downloaded this Add-on from somewhere but I don't remember from where.

I'm sure I haven't been asked to pay for it and it must have been free for download for everybody.

So, big THANKS to who wrote it! It's really a great tool to use! And I hope I could humbly post it here in this forum for all the AC users to enjoy it! :
