Menu : CADPower -> Build -> Offset -> Offset 3D polylines CmdLine : CP_3DOFFSET
The CP_3DOFFSET command is used to offset 3d polylines in the same manner as 2d polylines. 3D polyline can be offset both horizontally and vertically. This can be a very useful in several civil engineering design situations that require the offsetted polyline to be elevated or lowered by a fixed amount relative to the source polyline.

Menu : CADPower -> Build -> Offset -> Offset single segment of polyline CmdLine : CP_SEGOFFSET
The CP_SEGOFFSET command is useful to offset a single segment from a polyline. You will be asked to pick the segment and it will be offset using the standard OFFSET command.
Note: If you pick a segment which contains arc segments, the offsetting segment will be the straight line joining the two points and not the arc. Fitted and Splined polylines cannot be used by this command.

Menu : CADPower -> Build -> Offset -> Multiple variable polyline segment offset CmdLine : CP_MVOFFSET
The CP_MVOFFSET command allows individual polyline segments to be offsetted by different user-specified distances. One of the places where this command can be useful is in designing lots where each side needs to be offset by differing amounts to satisfy the frontage, clearance and other requirements.
In the example above, the polyline segments (shown with vertex numbering) are offsetted by amounts of 10.0, 25.0, 30.0, 30.0 amd 25.0 respectively. The command sequence is shown below.
The Side to Offset is to be specified relative to the first segment of the polyline.
Command: CP_mvoffset
Select a polyline:
Pick side to offset:
Enter offset distance <10.00>:
Offset segment [Next/Previous/eXit]:n
Enter offset distance <10.00>: 25
Offset segment [Next/Previous/eXit]:n
Enter offset distance <10.00>: 30
Offset segment [Next/Previous/eXit]:n
Enter offset distance <10.00>: 30
Offset segment [Next/Previous/eXit]:n
Enter offset distance <10.00>: 25
Offset segment [Next/Previous/eXit]:x

Menu : CADPower -> Build -> Create centroid marks inside closed polygons CmdLine : CP_CREATECENTROID
The CP_CreateCentroid command is used to create centroidal marks inside closed polylines, splines and circles.
Layer to create in:
Source: Creates the centroidal marks in the source layer( i.e the layer in which the closed polylines reside).
Current: Create all the centroidal marks in the current layer
Specify: Choosing this option allows specifying the layer in which the centroidal marks will be created.
Select: Clicking on Select button pops up the Select Layer dialog box.
Object to create: Specifies the type of object to create.
ACAD Point: An AutoCAD/BricsCAD point object is created at the centroidal location of each closed polyline.
Running Text Number: A Text string is created which is incremented by 1 each time for the next polygon being annotated with centroidal marks.
Fixed Text string: A fixed text string value is used for the annotation of the centroidal mark. The value of this text string is specified in the edit box provided for it.
Start Number: Specify the start number to be used for the annotation, if the Running Number Text option was chosen.
Format Width: Specify the required format width. This will prefix Zero before the running number text such that the string length is atleast equal to the format width specified.
Fixed Text string value: Specify the value of the fixed text string to use for annotations.
Text Height: Enter the height for marking the Text string or Running number text.
Ensure that the centroidal point always falls physically inside polygon: If this option is checked and if the centroidal falls outside the polygon, it will be moved to a location physically inside the polygon.
The CP_CreateCentroid command has an option to run without the dialog box selector. To enable this, you much check the option within the dialog box which says "Hide dialog box and run CP_CreateCentroid in command-line mode next time". This setting is not saved in registry and revets back to dialog box mode when your CAD is re-started.

Menu : CADPower -> Build -> Join nearest ends of lines / polylines CmdLine : CP_JNE
The CP_JNE command is used to join the nearest ends of two selected lines, arcs, splines and/or polylines with a connecting line and optionally join all the three into one single polyline.
Command: Select first object: (do so)
Select second object: (do so)
Join all segments together? [ Yes/No ] <Yes>:
It is possible to create a connection between the nearest ends of any selected entities, but joining them together into one object is possible only if they are all 2d etities or all 3d entities. It is not possible perform a mixed join of 2d and 3d entities.

Menu : CADPower -> Build -> CADPower Object Data -> Data Manager CmdLine : CP_DATAMAN
The CP_DATAMAN command is used to define a simple XDATA based database which operates entirely inside your CAD drawing. All data is stored in XDATA attached to entities and the database definition is provided in a simple INI file.
A sample structure of the INI file looks like this. Explanation about the syntax is provided after each section.
[*RECORD]
Name=BAR_INFO
Type=XDATA
FIELD=Section,String,1000
FIELD=Weight per unit length,Real,1000.0
FIELD=Cost per unit length,Real,500.0
FIELD=Supplier,String,Tata
FIELD=Photo,Link,(none)
[*RECORD_END]
The [*RECORD]....[*RECORD_END] section defines the database strcture. It is defined with lines having <Parameter>=<Value> syntax.
The 'Name' parameter specifies the database name (or the XDATA application name).
The 'Type' parameter indicates the type of database. In this case, it is 'XDATA'. In future, additional database types like 'ATTRIBUTES' etc will be introduced.
[*FIELD_VALUES]
Name=Section
Values=ISMB 200
Values=ISMB 300
Values=ISMC 400
[*FIELD_VALUES_END]
The [*FIELD_VALUES]....[*FIELD_VALUES_END] section defines the fields structure. This is also defined with <Parameter>=<Value> syntax.
The 'Name' parameter specifies the Field Name.
The 'Values' parameter defines the commonly used values for the field. These will appear in a pull-down menu when the CP_DATAMAN command is run.
There will be multiple [*FIELD_VALUES] section in the INI file, as many as the number of fields. However, it is not mandatory to define the [*FIELD_VALUES]. If this section is not defined for a field, there will be no pull-down menu options while entering data for the field.
The CP_DATAMAN command now supports an additional data type which allows files on the disk, server or cloud to be attached to selected objects. Using this option, you can create a link between an external file and your CAD entities. There is also a 'Show' option which allows to display the linked file automatically by launching the application with which it is associated.
For example, in the [RECORD] section above, the FIELD Photo is defined as a Link type. This means that it will offer Browse and Show buttons to select a file to be linked with the object and display it using the associated application.

CP_EXCELQUERY dialog
The CP_EXCELQUERY command is a multi-purpose command to read a specified sheet from XLSX files and query the data based on rows and columns, match them with CAD data using logical conditions and generate tables or MTEXT or attributed block with the returned information.
The use-case for this: What is the problem it solves?
You have an Excel sheet and you have a CAD drawing. You need to match the content in the Excel sheet based on your CAD data and pull out relevant information. This command has the solution.
There are two sets of information that you need to specify in this main dialog box.
The first set pertains to the XLSX workbook name and the SheetName where you need to look for the data.
Next, you need to specify the rows and columns you want to search.
The first item in this list is the location of the Title row: usually Excel sheets have the title info specified in one of the rows. You need to specify that row number here.
In the Search Column and Search Row sections, you need to specify a row or column name that you want to quick-search. The results are displayed instantly in a popup window opened by the Show buttons and copied to clipboard and/or placed as MTEXT or attributes block on the drawing. There is a Search Cell option also to retrieve the value of a single cell.
The TitleRow Info from the Excel sheet
The results of a queried column
The results of a query from XLSX displayed as table in CAD
The next section is called Data Feeders where you can get CAD data from selected object(s) or enter your own independent search data.
Data from your drawing can either come from an AutoCAD Map Object table, CADPower object data or from inherent CAD properties like Length, Area, block attribute, text value, radius, elevation, color, rotation angle etc. The complete list of CAD properties that you can use are shown in the image below:
CAD properties that can be queried from XLSX
The next set of information you need to provide is about the CAD entity that you want to use for query. Clicking on the Select button allows you to pick an entity that will offer its internal CAD properties or attached object table or attribute data for query. You need to make the right selections from the Data Feeders and get the property value that you want to query.
You can also specify logical operators on the data and perform the query based on whether you want an exact match, less than or greater than or not equal to the value (for integer and real values). For string values, you can search based on their case, or even partial search and so on.
All the search conditions you specify here will be taken into consideration when searching the XLSX data.
