KCS Productivity Pack For AutoCAD
This add-on utility package is for use with plain AutoCAD (or Vertical
application other than Architecture or MEP), version R2000 - R2012. It includes
most features included in the AEC version, except for those that are specific to
AEC. Some features, such as Auto-Layering, have been tailored for non-AEC
use. This version also include some tools not found in the AEC version, such as
Dimension tolerance tools.
The KCS Productivity Pack is available in both a Trial Edition and a
Professional Edition. Both editions include all features. The Free Edition
displays a "welcome" screen at each drawing open. The Professional Edition
eliminates this screen.

Features
KCS Productivity Pack for AutoCAD provides both a KCS pulldown menu and a
toolbar menu, as shown at right.
In this Help system, holding your pointer over a menu button will display the
command name. Detailed help for the commands are as follows.
KCS Options and Plug-ins
Auto-Layer
Scale for Annotation Layers
Text Macros
Enhanced Status
KCS Macros (keyboard shortcuts)
KCS Abridged Properties Toolbar
New: Mechanical Dimensioning Tools
Back to Top
New Ribbon Interface
KCS introduces a new ribbon interface for AutoCAD 2009 and later, in addition
to the pulldown menu and toolbars.
KCS Properties Toolbar
This toolbar may be used instead of the standard AutoCAD Properties toolbar.
It provides the Color and Linetype controls, while eliminating the Lineweight
and Plot Style controls. Saves space if you never use those two controls.
This toolbar is provided in three versions. Chose the one that matches your
AutoCAD version and leave the other two off.

Add Batt Insulation
This command adds a batt insulation pattern. It may be used with AEC walls,
line walls, or anywhere else - in plans, details, or sections. Unlike other
routines which use a polyline, the KCS command uses a special hatch pattern. One
advantage is that it can be chopped off at an angle to allow the kind of partial
hatching commonly seen in hand drafting. Another advantage is that the hatching
extents can be adjusted by stretching or grip editing.
End Condition: may be set to Angled or Square, or set to
prompt for which each time. You might like to use the angled end for a partial
indication on long walls, but use the square condition to completely fill a
shorter space.
Width: Auto will work for simple two-line walls. You can
choose to be prompted for complex walls.
Back to Top
Bearing
This command will label property lines (lines or polylines) with the bearing
(in surveyors units) and/or distance (in decimal feet). It will give correct
results whether the drawing is in foot units or inch units, by specifying which.
Back to Top
TanLine
This command will draw a line with a specified angle starting at the tangent
point of an arc or circle. Once you specify the angle and select the arc, a line
will start at that tangent point, with Ortho turned on and set to that angle.
Note that you can continue to draw line segments at that angle, until you end or
cancel the command. The original angle and Ortho status are both restored at
that time.
This command is available as a button, and as a macro.

Several
of the KCS Layer commands offer capabilities not found elsewhere. Others are
very similar to commands provided by Autodesk's Express Tools, and were created
by KCS primarily for users unable to make Express Tools work with their version
of AutoCAD.
Layer Change
Change selected objects to another layer.
Select object for layer name or [Nested/Type/Dialog/0] :
Options:
Pick object on existing layer
Nested option to pick object in a block
Type option to use keyboard entry
Dialog option to select from list of existing layers
Layer 0 may be specified directly without using the Type option
[Enter] will change objects to the
Back to Top
Layer Copy
Copy selected objects to another layer. Prompt and options are the same as
Layer Change above. After objects are copied, the new objects may be selected
with "Previous".
Select Layer
Select all objects on picked layer. Objects may then be selected with
"Previous".
Layer Freeze
Freeze layers of selected objects. When used inside a viewport, the layer is
frozen in that viewport only. Otherwise it is frozen globally.
A Nesting level option provides three nesting levels:
None: Freezes the layers of selected objects. If a block or
an xref is selected, the layer containing that block or xref is frozen.
Entity level: Freezes layers of selected objects even if they
are nested in an xref or a block.
Block level: Freezes layers of selected objects. If a selected
object is nested in a block, the layer containing that block is frozen (similar
to None). If a selected object is nested in an xref, the layer of the object is
frozen (similar to Entity Level).
Back to Top
Layer
Off
Turn off layers of selected objects. Same options as Layer Freeze except
layer are turned off globally regardless of whether used inside a viewport or
elsewhere.
Layer
Visible
Make Layers Visible - from list of non-visible layer. Layers will appear in
the list if they are turned off, frozen, frozen in the current viewport, or any
combination of these. A layer selected to be made visible will be turned on,
thawed, and thawed in the current viewport, as required. Multiple layers may be
selected.

Layer
Lock
Lock layers by picking objects.
Layer
Unlock
Lock layers by picking objects.
Layer
Isolate

Nesting level options same as Layer Freeze.
Layer
Unisolate
Reverse last Isolate in current drawing session.
Back to Top
Layer
Vport
Display selected layers in the current viewport only. Selected layers are
frozen in all other viewports either in the current layout or all layouts,
according to the Freeze level setting. Nesting level options are also
available for object selection.
Layer
List
List layer name of selected objects. When object is part of a block or xref,
both the insertion layer and the nested layer are listed (with the nested layer
in parentheses).

drawing, along with the Visibility status of each. If the layer is not not
currently visible for any reason, whether Off, Frozen globally, or Frozen in the
current view port, Visibility is listed as "No". A Display option allows you to
exclude non-visible layers.

KCS
Layer Snapshot
Save and restore layer states. Although there are at other similar tools
available elsewhere, the KCS Layer Snapshot has some significant differences:
- A Snapshot may be created either in Model space or in a Viewport, and it
may be restored either in Model space or in a viewport. When restored in a
viewport, layers will be thawed globally as required and frozen for the
viewport as required.
- Xref layers may be captured in three different ways when creating a
snapshot (see below).
- Xref layers are (by default) given the same properties as base layers
(unless you chose otherwise) when you Apply.
- Properties are also Applied to bound xref layers (layers like xref|WALL
and xref$0$WALL are handled same as WALL).
- The snapshot is saved as a file rather than in the drawing, allowing it
to be easily shared without exporting and importing. The snapshot file is an
ASCII text file (extension .LSS), with one line per layer in a simple
comma-delimited format, and may be edited manually to achieve combinations
of xref capture methods, add new layers, or make other revisions. A header
at the top of the file indicates the format.
Back to Top
To Create a snapshot, you may do so either in model space or
in a viewport that has the layer settings desired. Xref layers may be captured
in three different ways when creating a snapshot:
- Localized: This method is probably the most useful in
most cases. Use this method when MyLayer should always be displayed the same
way in an xref as in the current drawing. When captured, layer Xref|MyLayer
is regarded as MyLayer. When applied, all instances of MyLayer will be
restored the same way, whether in the current drawing or in any xref.
- Generic: This method is useful for situations where you
want to display layers in all xrefs differently than the current drawing -
for instance, if you want to use xrefs as a "background", where MyLayer in
the xrefs is a different color than MyLayer in the current drawing. In this
method, layer Xref|MyLayer is captured as *|MyLayer, and all instances of
MyLayer for any xref name will be restored the same way.
- Explicit: This is the same as used by Express Tools and
AutoCAD's own Layer State. Layer Xref1|MyLayer is captured with that name.
If you later attach another xref that contains layer Xref2|MyLayer, this
layer will be unknown to the snapshot. We recommend this method only when
you use consistent xref names, and want to control the display of MyLayer
differently for each xref.
Back to Top
The snapshot will capture TrueColors as well as standard colors, along with
current linetypes and lineweights of layers wherever the snapshot was created.
To Apply a snapshot: when in a paper space layout, you have
several options providing maximum flexibility. With all default choices (as
shown here), the chosen snapshot will be applied to Model space layers and
layers in all viewports in the current layout, for consistent properties
throughout.
On the other hand, you may have already applied one snapshot to your model
layers, and now wish to set up one or more viewports to another snapshot. Simply
uncheck Apply to Model space.
There may be times when you want to apply layer properities (color, linetype,
linewt) from a snapshot to the viewport(s) without altering the VP Freeze status
of any layers. To do so, simply uncheck this option. Note that for best results,
your Model space layers should be set as desired before applying a snap to your
viewport(s).
Similarly, you can control just the Freeze/Thaw status without applying the
properties.
These options do not apply when in Model space - all layer properties are
applied to all existing layers. The Paper Space section of the dialog is
disabled when in Model space, and is not present if using an AutoCAD version
prior to R2008 (when VP layer properties were introduced). For older versions, a
snapshot may be applied to vieports, but only the VP Freeze status is affected.

Ref
Point
This tool is used to locate a point a specified distance and angle from a
base point. Unlike standard AutoCAD tracking and From tools, this Ref Point tool
will keep prompting for another point until you press Enter. This allows going
in more than one direction to arrive at the desired location.
Mid
of 2 Points
This tool is used to locate a point midway between two specified points. It
may be used whenever you are being prompted for a point. An example of this
would be to locate the middle of a corridor, or any other situation where there
is no object to use a midpoint osnap on.
Back to Top
Frac
of 2 Points
This tool is used to locate a point at any fractional distance between two
specified points. It may be used whenever you are being prompted for a point.
This button is a flyout from the Mid of 2 Points toolbar button.
Set
Snap Angle
This command allows you to set the snap angle by picking a line or ADT wall.
You can also hit Enter to use keyboard entry or pick two points. A macro SA is
also provided for this command. The macro may be used transparently during
another command by preceding it with an apostrophe ('SA). A quick way to restore
to 0 angle is by the SA0 macro.
Back to Top
Get
XY (specify Z)
Click this to get the X,Y location of a point but input some other Z value.
This is needed for the first point - after that the Hold Z filter may be used to
maintain the same Z value.
Z-Lock (at current elevation)
Pick X,Y on screen, with Z preset to current elevation. Start command, then
click this button when prompted for point.
Hold
X, Hold Y, Hold Z
When specifying a point these commands may be used to retain the x, y or z
value of the previous point.
Back to Top
KCS
Leader and Text
This command creates a leader with text in a different manner than the
standard AutoCAD QLeader command. One difference is that text is created on
screen, like dtext, then (optionally) converted to mtext.
This leader command also has the unique ability to create a series of notes
on the left side of a detail using left justified text with a uniform left
margin. When the second segment points to the left, the cursor changes to an
I-beam, to indicate that this will be the text starting point. If a point is
picked at existing text, the command will automatically osnap to its insertion
point, resulting in perfect alignment.
While inputting the text on screen (on the left side), additional lines of
text will be created under the first, but when done they will be shifted upwards
to place the last line at the point selected. (This is similar to the way
AutoCAD displays right justified dtext as left justified until done.) When done,
the leader tail is adjusted appropriately for the length of the last line.
When drawing a leader from left to right, you may pick a point near the end
of an existing leader tail to make the new leader end in alignment. Note that no
AutoSnap box will appear, but an osnap will happen automatically none the less.
Back to Top
This command can use either the current text style or a specified style. If a
style is specified that does not exist, it will be created using the specified
font. Text size may use the the current AutoCAD text size (same as
standard Text commands), or as specified in the settings for this command.
Automatic layer control is provided by the KCS Auto-Layer,
if turned on in KCS Options.
The KCS Leader uses your current AutoCAD dimension style for leaders. To
change the arrow head, create a Leader dimension sub-style and choose the
arrowhead desired.
Convert
to Mtext
This command converts one or more lines of single-line text into an AutoCAD
MTEXT object, maintaining the original text style, height and layer. The lines
of text are automatically sorted according to their relative locations in the
drawing. This allows multiple lines to be selected with a window or in any
order.
Special treatment is given to a first line ending with a colon, such as
"NOTE: ". This line will remain as is and will not word-wrap with the rest of
the text.
Back to Top
Text
with Shadow Box
This tool creates Mtext with a shadow box. The text and box are attached, so
that any editing of the text will automatically update the shadow box to match.
The toolbar flyout also contains a tool to attach a shadow box to existing
Mtext, and another to add a freestanding shadow box anywhere in your drawing.
Dimension Editing Tools
Dimension
Offset and Split
This tool creates a copy of the selected dimension, offset in the indicated
direction. The offset distance is governed by Baseline spacing (DIMDLI variable)
in your dimension style settings. The two origin points of the new dimension
will be the same as the original. Next you are prompted for a new origin point -
the new dimension will be split in two, with a new extension originating form
this point.
Dimension
Split
This tool splits an existing dimension into two dimensions, with a new
origin point added somewhere between the two original origins, as specified.
Dimension
Join
This tools joins two dimension together into one.
Back to Top
Dimension
Dot Pointer
With this tool you can change the pointer on a dimension extension line from
your normal slash or arrow to a dot. This provides the ability to implement the
convention where a dot is used to indicate a dimension to the center of some
object. The same tool will also restore a dot pointer to your normal pointer.
Note that no additional dimension styles are created, and no changes are made to
your dimension style.
Dimension
Note
This tool allows you to easily add a note, such as V.I.F. or CLEAR, to a
dimension, as shown. The resulting text will be part of the dimension object,
with the same properties as the dimension text. The same tool can also remove a
previously placed note.
Back to Top
Mechanical Dimensioning Tools
These commands were created for mechanical, machine, and tool drawings, where
different dimensions require different formats. For instance, a three place
dimension may denote a tolerance (without being shown in the dimension) of .015,
while a two place dimension denotes a tolerance of .03. Along with this, some
dimensions may carry an explicit tolerance, which may vary for each one both in
value(s) and format. Doing this in AutoCAD is quite awkward, but these tools
make it easy. They all use your current dimension style, applying the
appropriate overrides to selected dimension objects.
Back to Top
Spot_ID
This command allows you to place spot coordinates, with respect to a
specified base point. This can be extremely useful for supplying coordinates for
use by CNC machine programming. The command offers two modes, Surface and
Diameter. In Surface mode, the coordinates are in X,Y format. In Diameter mode,
the format is X,Z, where the X value is actually twice the drawing Y value
(converting the radius to a diameter), and the Z axis value given is the drawing
X value (for CNC lathe input).
For both modes, the text style and size match that of your current dimension
style. The number of decimal places is determined by your current LUPREC (linear
units precision) value, which may be set either directly by the LUPREC command,
or by the UNITS command.
Back to Top
Add
Diameter Symbol
This command adds a diameter symbol to a dimension that is placed on a side
or edge view of a circular object. It can also be used for text.
Dimension
Tolerance
This command allows you to easily add an explicit tolerance to any
dimension. All four formats available in AutoCAD are provided by this command,
as shown in the examples. A "None" option is also provided for removing a
tolerance. Note that the default tolerance precision and text size are
controlled by the Tolerance settings for your current dimension style.
Back to Top
Reference
Dimension
This commands encloses a dimension in parentheses, to denote it as a
reference dimension. It can also be used on text.
-
Dimension
Precision
These commands allow you to control the precision of each dimension
independently from its dimension style. For example, you might set up your
dimension style for three decimal places to serve the majority of your
dimensions. You can then use these commands to change the number of decimal
places for any of those dimensions, as required.
Back to Top
Draw
By Example (Clone)
This command allows you to "clone", or draw by example, almost any object
already in your drawing just by picking the existing object. For all objects, it
will duplicate the layer of that object. If a line is picked, it will draw a
line on that layer. If text is picked, it will create text with the same style
and height. And so on, for most AutoCAD objects.
Align
Objects
Use this command to align text and other objects vertically or horizontally
on screen. The first object picked establishes a point of alignment (or you may
pick a point instead). The default alignment is to a vertical line passing
through this point, as indicated by a dashed screen line. Horizontal alignment
may be chosen instead.
Each object picked will then be aligned to that line, according to the
designated alignment point. For objects with multiple alignment points, the one
closest to the point picked is used. This provides a great deal of choice in how
you want objects to line up. Alignment points are at endpoints, midpoints,
quadpoints, etc., depending on the type of object.
Back to Top
Block
Swap
This command will replace selected block insertions with a different block.
Layer, scale, rotation, and attributes of each original insertion are retained.
Any number of insertions may be selected, and they need not be the same block
name. The block name to use as replacement may be selected from a list of blocks
in the drawing, or it may be obtained by picking an existing block.

KCS Options
Auto-Layer
Scale for Annotation Layers
Text Macros
Enhanced Status
KCS Macros (keyboard shortcuts)
The following options are features that work automatically rather than by
running a command. Any of these features may be turned off if not desired.
Back to Top
Auto-Layer
Provides automatic layer control when placing dimensions, text, hatching,
and/or symbols that have been designated as "annotation". These items are placed
on the layer specified in your ADT layer settings. It also responds to any layer
prefix, suffix, and/or scale component that may be in effect, as specified in
the Scale for Annotation Layers section. No special macros or menu items are
required for this to happen; you can create dimensions, text, etc. just as you
normally would.
A layer "base" name is entered for each category. If you choose to set a
prefix, suffix, and/or scale component, it will be added to the base name.
If the resulting layer name does not already exist, it will be created using the
color specified.
Back to Top
A scale component may also be specified in the Scale for Annotation Layers
section. If you want this to apply to some but not all the annotation
layers, this can be controlled by the check-boxes in the Scaled column.
Note that this column is disabled if the Add dimscale option is not selected in
the Scale for Annotation Layers section.
The Symbols List button allows you to designate what block names are to be
regarded as annotation and placed on the specified layer. The Add Symbols from
Drawing button displays a list of blocks in the drawing (excluding xrefs) that
are not already designated as annotation. The Add Symbols from Hard Drive
button allows you to navigate and select drawing files to designate.
Erroneous entries may be removed at any time.
Back to Top
Layers for leaders may be done in either of two ways. Leader text is always
placed on the layer for text, but the leader itself may be placed either on the
dimension layer or the text layer. This may be specified in KCS Options. With
the leader on the dimension layer, plotted lineweight may be controlled by the
properties of the dimension layer. Those preferring to keep both text and leader
on the text layer can control the leader lineweight by creating a Leader
dimension style family member and setting the desired color or lineweight in the
dimension style properties.
If you are an advanced user creating custom text commands for different
layers, see KCS_AcadReadme.txt for additional information. Note that the
Auto-Layer setting for Text does not have any effect on KCS Text Macros (see
below).
Back to Top
Annotation Options
This section provides a wide range of settings that expand the base layer
name specified in the Auto-Layer section. Their purpose is to facilitate
the creation of annotation on multiple layers - annotation that is specific to
one drawing level, drawing type, phase, scale, or whatever you can dream up.
Note that a live example at the bottom of this section shows the result you can
expect.
Back to Top
Discipline/Level Prefix
This allows you to designate a prefix to be added to the beginning of an
annotation layer. You might use "A" for Architectural, or "1" for the
floor level, a combination like "A1".
Drawing Type Suffix
This allows you to designate a suffix to be added to the end of an annotation
layer, or within it, as specified by the Position setting. It can be a
single character or multiple. It can be combined with the Add dimscale
option.
Add Dimscale to Annotation Layers
This allows you to automatically add a scale designation to your dimension
and text layers. The various settings for this feature provide a great deal of
flexibility in the format. An example displays your current layer name with the
scale added to it per the current settings. When in Paper Space, or if dimscale
is set to 1, no scale designator will be added. Note - dimscale must not be set
to 0 or this feature will not work. These settings apply to both Auto-Layer, if
used, and the KCS Text Macros.
Back to Top
Where Options Settings Are Stored
All settings described above, with the exception of the Symbols List, are
stored within each drawing. This allows these settings to vary from one drawing
to the next, as required. The same settings are also stored globally (in
the registry) and are used for new drawings (or drawings being opened with KCS
for the first time). The KCS Options screen contains a check box that
allows you to save the current settings to global at any time. Note that
checking this box will only cause a global save to happen when you click OK this
one time. It will always return to the unchecked state.
This dual storage applies to the settings described above only. Others
settings at the bottom of this screen and throughout KCS are stored globally,
unless noted otherwise.
Back to Top
When opening a drawing for the first time
A setting allows you to specify whether to have KCS display the Options
screen or to automatically adopt the global default settings.
Enhanced Status
Displays additional items of information in the AutoCAD status line. One is
the current Scale (dimscale). The format will respond to the current Units
setting. If a Prefix has been set, it will display here. If a Suffix and/or
Scale have been set, they will display here.
Back to Top
Load KCS Macros
This option automatically makes KCS macros available in each drawing session.
KCS macros are similar to standard AutoCAD keyboard shortcuts (defined in
supportacad.pgp), except that lisp macros can do much more. Macros provided
range from the simple but handy, such as BF (Break First) and ZP (Zoom
Previous), to more the complex and powerful. KCS macros are defined in
Macros.lsp. This file is provided uncompiled to allow renaming macros if
desired. Notepad may be used for this, or any ASCII text editor. If you
choose to do this, be aware that a lisp macro will automatically supercede a
standard keyboard shortcut of the same name. KCS macros do this in one instance:
an EL macro for "Erase Last" replaces the standard shortcut for Ellipse. If you
would rather retain the shortcut for Ellipse, you may delete this macro from
Macros.lsp. You can also add your own macros to this file, if you're handy
with LISP. See Macros.lsp for additional information.
Back to Top
Macro Usage
KCS macros are mostly self-explanatory according to their descriptions. Use
MH (Macro Help) to display a dialog listing all macros, along with their
descriptions. Macros can be run directly from this dialog. There is also a
button to print the complete list to the screen, which may then be copied into a
text file for reference, if desired.
Macros are now grouped into Categories for easier access. Categories are fully
user-definable. (See Macros.lsp for additional information.)
Editing Macros.lsp
This button will open the Macros.lsp file in Notepad so you can edit as
desired. The original file will be backed up as Macros(0).lsp the first time you
do this, and the current file will also be backed up as Macros.bak each time you
open it. After you edit and save the file, click OK to reload it.
Back to Top
Text Macro Settings
KCS Text Macros provide a family of configurable commands for different text
sizes. These commands create text sizes Fine, Small, Medium, Large, and Title.
Each command creates text with a specified style, size, and layer. The text size
is automatically multiplied by the current ADT drawing scale to achieve the
specified plotted size. It will also give the correct results in paper space.
There are actually two families of text macros - one for MText and one for
DText. The default macro names for MText are TF, TS, etc., and DTF, DTS, etc.
for DText. If you prefer using DText most of the time, you may want to edit
KCS_AcadMacros.lsp and change the MText family to MTF, etc., and remove the D
from the DText family.
The
same text commands are also available on toolbars. On the main KCS toolbar, they
can be found in the flyout that starts with the KCS Leader and Text command.
There is one flyout for MText and one for DText. Either or both of these may be
displayed as a separate toolbar (go to KCS Toolbars in the KCS pulldown menu).
The DText macro family uses an enhanced version of DText. Both the actual
text size and the plot size are displayed at the command prompt. Text height is
not prompted for, since the macro already specifies and sets the height.
Rotation angle is not prompted for either, since most text is horizontal.
Instead, an Angle option is provided, similar to the standard MText command. The
elimination of these two prompts greatly streamlines the creation of text.
Back to Top
If the text style specified for the macro does not exist, it will be created
using the specified font (either True Type or AutoCAD) when the macro is used.
Each size may use a different style, if desired, or one style may be used for
more than one size. The specified font will be used only when the style does not
yet exist - this system does not affect text or text styles already present. If
you wish to create the styles beforehand, be sure to make the style height
variable (height = 0). This allows the macro to size the text according to the
current drawing scale (or for paper space).
The "Annotative" Property
AutoCAD 2008 introduced the Annotative property to objects such as text and
dimensions, giving them the ability to appear as different sizes according to
the current Annotation Scale setting. KCS commands that deal with text or
dimensions now fully support this new property. For R2008+, if the style does
not exist, you will be prompted on whether or not to make it Annotative. The KCS
text macros behave properly whether the style is Annotative or not.
You may use any style name you wish for each macro. You may use the same
style for all macros or a different style for each macro, or some combination.
Keep in mind that wherever the same style is specified, the same font should
also be specified. Otherwise whichever macro is used first will win.
The text layer may be specified or left blank to use the current layer. If a
layer is specified, KCS will create the layer if it does not exist, using the
color specified. You may use the same layer for all macros or a different layer
for each macro, or some combination. Keep in mind that wherever the same layer
is specified, the same color should also be specified. Otherwise whichever macro
is used first will win.
Layer control for Text Macros is completely independent of the Auto-Layer
option. It does not matter if this option is enabled or not. The Scale for
Annotation Layer settings do apply.
Back to Top
NOTE: This program requires a full AutoCAD version. It does
not work with AutoCAD LT.
This is a dual purpose installation file, depending on the KCS you may
already have installed, as follows:
* If you do not have KCS installed, this file will install the Trial Edition.
* If you have previously purchased and registered, this file will update your
installation to the latest KCS revisions. It will not cause your KCS to
revert to a Trial version. Install this right over your existing installation.
Do NOT uninstall first.
