2013 AutoCAD for MAC,is there a burst command?

[kensimpson6049]

My company just installed 2013 for Mac. We were using AutoCAD through Parallels and in that version we used the Burst command alot while setting up drawing we received from architects for our MEP work.

When I type "BURST" into the command line in the Mac version it's telling me it's an unknown command.

Is this true? If so is there an express tool or plug in that will work with this version of AutoCAD?

Thanks

Hi,

As I understand, you are talking about:

BURST command

description:
Explodes blocks, converting attribute values to text objects (Express Tools)

In AC for PC it is a part of Express Tools, that are unavailable in AC for Mac.

Some time ago I also needed this command in AC for Mac. After some research in WEB, I have found an old version of BURST.LSP (from r.14 Express Tools). I've made some corrections in Lisp routine in order to use it on Mac.

Look for it in attachment.

Let me know if it works for you and your company.

Hi,

I found your comment helpful, but how do I install your app?

When I click on it is says "there is no application set to open this document."

Any tips?

Hi Mike,

It is AutoLISP routine which works only inside AutoCAD (full version, not LT). In order to use it in AutoCAD you need to load this routine with APPLOAD command.

Here are the links on how to use APPLOAD command:
