Drawing tools AutoCAD forgot to ship.

Plugin 01

Align & Distribute

Fourteen commands: align to an edge or centre line, space evenly or by an exact gap, snap to the drawing grid.

• Align to left, right, top, bottom, or centres: one click from the ribbon
• Distribute evenly, or with an exact gap between objects
• Snap object centres to the drawing grid with MDALIGNGRID
• Ribbon, right-click menu, or command line, with autocomplete icons

Plugin 02

Rotate & Flip

Turns and mirrors each object around its own pivot, in place: no base point, and no mirror line to draw.

• Rotate 90° clockwise or counterclockwise; repeat to compound
• Flip horizontally or vertically, every object around its own pivot
• Attribute text stays upright and its justification swaps to the flipped side
• Dynamic blocks turn and flip through their own authored parameter

Plugin 03

Quick Layer

A popup at your cursor: type a few letters, press Enter, that layer is current. Any selection moves with it.

• Fuzzy search, ranked as you type; no scrolling a layer dialog
• Objects selected? Picking a layer reassigns them too, like LAYCUR
• On/off, freeze, lock, plot and colour on every row, one layer or a batch
• Scope the list to all layers, only those in use, or xref layers

Plugin 04

Trackpad

AutoCAD assumes a mouse. Here scroll pans, pinch zooms at the cursor, and a flick glides and settles.

• Two-finger scroll pans, sideways as well, a message AutoCAD otherwise ignores
• Pinch or Ctrl+scroll zooms continuously at the cursor, not in notches
• A flick glides and settles, and shortens rather than crawling on a heavy drawing
• One toggle: plug in a mouse and MDTRACKPAD hands the wheel back

Plugin 05

Increment

Set the counter, its surrounding text and the sweep order, preview every change, then apply as one undo step.

• Numbers text, mtext, block attributes and mleaders in the same run
• See every change before it happens, then undo the whole run with one Ctrl+Z
• Sweep in reading order from any corner, or along a path you draw
• Pick which attribute tag to write when your blocks carry several
