Command line: SPPR, PR.

The basic rules

This command is used to define the variations of the nanoCAD Construction  design objects settings in the current drawing.nanoCAD Construction 23 The redefinition is controlled by the parameters set in the setting of design elements.

The objects are grouped by types in the dialog. The objects parameters are grouped by name.

To set the parameters or Redefinition removal filter lists are:

If any type is selected in the parameters table , the parameters list concerning the given type is displayed.

The standard filter list allows specifying different settings for single objects created by a different design standard.

If you select "All" standards - the changes will be applied to all objects if you select only one of the standards (eg GOST), the changes will only be used for objects belonging to the chosen standard.

Command Options

If an object type is selected, its properties will be displayed in the parameters table.

Redefined parameters are shown in blue. To remove the overriding need to press the  opposite setting.

In addition, you can manually specify a new value for the selected parameter. If the new value is the same default, the blue light will not be displayed. If the selected object group only some entries have the override, the backlight will override the diagonal.

To remove the override all objects need to click on the  bottom left of the dialog.

Action sequence

To change the settings of one or more design elements, you must:

      ·    Select objects

Next, in the dialog box to specify the new settings data display objects. Changes apply only to the selected objects.

Change the parameters of objects can also be by a separate command  Parameters redefinitions.

Checking the settings of design elements

To verify the design elements specify the settings, you must run the Parameters redefinition. It is proposed to select the objects that will be exposed to the command.

When you press the Enter will select all elements of design Construction Site 4. When you press the Enter will select all elements of design Construction Site 4 . Next, press the button Clear redefinition from all parameters

The "Find and Replace" tool is used to find and replace string values in nanoCAD Construction  23 objects in a drawing or in an object base.

Search

1. Call the command. A dialogue will open  "Find and Replace".

2. In the "Find what:" field, enter the search phrase.

3. Select "Search in" from the list, or by using the additional button  that defines the search area. The button action depends on the context of the "Find and Replace" command call. If the command is called from the object manager, the "Quick selection" window opens.

4. Select search parameters :

      ·    Match case. If the flag is set, the search is case-sensitive.

      ·    Match whole words. If the flag is set, the search is performed for individual words, that is, combinations of characters separated by punctuation marks or spaces.

      ·    Search within found. The switch is available after the string has been searched and limits the search range.

      ·    Use extended options. The switch is available when searching in the object database. Click the button  opposite the parameter and in the window that appears, select the advanced search areas.

      ·    Use regular expressions. Enables search mode with additional selection conditions. Click the button  opposite the parameter and select the required expression from the list that appears. When you hover over a list item, a tooltip appears with a detailed explanation. The choice of expression is made with the left mouse button. Multiple regular expressions can be used together.

The "Next" button allows you to move the active row through the table, skipping the next found fragment in the list without replacing it with a new value.

Quick selection

Main menu: Construction - Edit - Quick selection.

Ribbon: Construction - Utilities - Quick selection.

Toolbar: Edit - Quick selection.

Command line: SPQS, QS, QSELECT.

The "Quick selection" tool is used to select the nanoCAD Construction  23 objects inserted into the drawing according to certain conditions.

Procedure

1. Call the command.

2. In the dialog box, configure the search conditions.

3. Confirm the setting with the "OK" button. The objects in the drawing are selected according to the search conditions.

Dialog

In the "Object" column, select the desired type of object from the drop-down list of the cell. To deselect or remove an object from the table, select the "-None-" value.

      ·    "Expression type" - a comparison operator is assigned to object parameters. Each type of object has its own parameters for which conditions are set.

Possible operators:

                  ·     = - equally;
