Advance Steel custom commands-share your ideas

Hello,

It will be nice to learn more about custom commands / combination of Autocad and Advance Steel commands improving productivity. 

To colleagues willing to share-Thank you.

 

Here is a tiny example:

"Hide parts with identical numbers"-used when parts are detailed using drawings styles.

 

^C^C_AstM5equalpartsMarkSame \;AstM4CommSelectMarkedObjects ;_AstM4SwitchReprMode off

 

And another one:

"Hide Similar Advance Steel Objects":

^C^C_SelectSimilar \;_AstM4SwitchReprMode off

 

Regards,

Hi, 
I was referencing the geometry of the tale:

 

acbsdesign_0-1678279782085.png

 

But it behaves the same way as mine when there is a single line only added.

 

Thank you anyway.

@Sebastian_Eiche 

 

What happened with the pinned thread-it is still useful.

 

Looked for one old command to restore, it wasn't there.

 

Assuming we are still allowed to use custom commands.

 

Or we have to pay to a third-party developer in order to use them?

Yup unpinned, what is going on?

 

Although, I think we should probably start a thread part 2. This one has gotten quite big. In the later pages, it turned into people looking for tech support lol.

Unpinned, not allowed to Like etc. It looks like they are trying to hide what is good in AS.

It is all done on purpose.

Hi @Sebastian_Eiche 

 

Thanks for reaching out on this issue. As community managers, we are tasked with keeping the forums structured. We have set criteria around the validity and amount of floated (pinned) topics we have on each forum board. Due to these reasons, I have unfloated this topic. 

 

If you wish to chat with me to discuss this further, please drop me a DM, and we can have a quick call.

I don't know if you have noticed this, but we did-using custom commands improved our work.

 

So if you wish to clean the unnecessary posts-please do so.

 

But to try to hide it as not important.., I don't know what to say.

 

We are all humans, we can understand.
