Support for grid lines created.

Three new commands for handling grid lines have been added to "Plan", "Doublewall" & "Formslab"

"Generate Grid Lines"

This command erases all grid lines on the drawing and then adds grid lines from the database.

"Draw Grid Lines"

This command allows the user to add grid lines, the following dialog is displayed

"Name": Specify the name of the first grid line to draw, the next grid line will get a sequential name based upon this "1", "2", "3" or "A", "B", "C" etc.

"Add multiple grid lines with spacing": Check this if you want to add multiple grid lines with the same length and orientation in UCS. If this isn't checked the user must specify the start- and endpoint of each grid line otherwise grid lines are continued to be added until as long as the user requests.

"Spacing" the perpendicular distance between two grid lines when multiple grid lines are added.

"Add with increasing x and decreasing y": Tick this if the following grid lines should be to the left/below the first grid line when multiple grid lines are added.

"Save Grid Lines"

This command saves all grid lines found in the drawing to the database.

Besides these three commands, a reactor responds when a grid line is being erased and the user gets a question about deleting the grid line from the database or not.

The gridline entity is a dynamic block, see attached file, that should be placed in the template_drawings folder of the company.

The dwg is placed below and can be downloaded. This dwg can be changed if your company needs a rectangle or bigger text etc.

Here follows a video where Peter Karlsson explains how to work with these new commands.
