Add-ons
Add-ons
Features you can switch on or off in the apps. An add-on extends an app; it is never an app of its own. Every add-on here was reviewed and signed by the CadCraft team.
-
Apparel
0.5.0Pattern making for clothing: pattern pieces with notches, grain lines and drill holes, seam allowance, sizes and grading, seam walking, printing patterns full size or tiled, markers, and DXF-AAMA / ASTM files.
-
Cabinets
0.8.0Cabinets and millwork: base, drawer, wall and tall cabinets placed along a wall in the plan and drawn in a front view, built from your construction rules (frameless 32 mm system by default), with a cut list by material, edge-banding totals, a nest of every sheet, a DXF of the sheets for your CAM program and a bar-coded label for every piece in cutting order.
-
Circuit simulation
0.9.0Draw a circuit as a schematic and simulate it on our own solver: DC operating point, transient and AC sweep, read with a meter, a scope and a plotter placed on nets. Part values are typed by you; no maker's models or Multisim files are read.
-
Electrical
0.4.0Electrical schematics and installation plans: IEC and ANSI symbols, wires and wire numbers, device tags, cross-references, sheets, terminal, cable and parts lists, circuits, loads and the panel schedule.
-
Wires and terminals from the Electrical add-on's schematic: an id, colour, gauge, type and end treatment for every wire, a from-to list, a wire list with cut lengths, connector tables, a harness drawing with branch points and lengths, a control-cabinet layout (back panel, DIN rails, ducts, devices on the rails) and a bill of materials.
-
HVAC
0.9.0HVAC ductwork: duct runs drawn on a centerline with their elbows, transitions and branch fittings, a double-line plan and solids on the 3D tab from the same run, equal-friction sizing from airflow, and a duct schedule with sheet metal area that goes to TakeoffCraft.
-
Interior lighting design
0.9.0Light a room from photometry files (.ies, .ldt): plan luminaires for a target lux, then get mean, lowest and highest lux on the workplane, uniformity, glare (UGR) and watts per m², with bounced light included. Map, requirement checks, printable report. A design aid, not a certificate.
-
Lighting plots
0.9.0Entertainment lighting plots: fixtures hung on named positions (pipes, trusses, booms, floor lines), unit numbers along each position, channels and dimmer or DMX addresses, an instrument schedule, a channel hookup, a legend, and checks for duplicate units, DMX overlaps and overloaded dimmers. Fixtures and positions sit in classes (Lighting-Fixtures-…, Rigging-…).
-
Nesting
0.8.0Lay the closed outlines of your drawing — polylines with their arcs, circles, holes inside them — on plates or a roll with as little waste as it can, draw the sheets beside the drawing and save them as DXF for the cutter. The same nesting engine as PartCraft's.
-
P&ID
0.9.0Process and instrumentation diagrams: symbols, tagged equipment and instruments, line numbers, line, equipment, instrument and valve lists, and checks. Links the drawing to a process model (stream table, line sizes carried through) and writes the control lists. A drafting aid, not an engineering approval.
-
Piping
0.9.0Piping: pipe runs by nominal size and material from public standard tables (steel, copper, PVC, PEX), fittings and valves, single- or double-line plans and solids on the 3D tab, slope for drainage, P&ID symbols, and a pipe and fitting schedule that goes to TakeoffCraft.
-
Roller chain sprockets
0.9.0Draw a roller-chain sprocket from a chain number (ANSI 25 to 240, ISO 606 A and B series) and a tooth count: the real tooth outline, pitch circle, bore, drawn tooth by tooth from the chain's own pitch and roller size. The chain table lists the catalogues each dimension was read from.
-
Router carving
0.9.0V-carve letters and logos, engrave lines, or carve a grey picture as a relief for a router or laser-class machine. The V-bit follows the middle of each shape at the depth its width needs; a flat mill clears wide floors; a cutter follows a depth map without cutting into it. G-code from a post-processor you can edit, and a check that reads any program back.
-
Windows and doors
0.8.0Window and door builder for PVC and aluminium profiles: pick a profile system, type the opening and a layout, and get the elevation, the profile cut list with angle cuts and welding allowances, bars to saw with the least waste, steel, glass sizes, hardware and gaskets, and labels in sawing order.
