Can CALC4CAD create objects in Paper Space?
No. CALC4CAD is designed to work in Model Space only. Can CALC4CAD create 3D or solid objects? No. CALC4CAD will only create objects that are 2D. When I create a fastener or gear with CALC4CAD, many messages appear on the AutoCAD command line. Is this normal? Yes. CALC4CAD creates a script file of all the steps necessary to draw a gear or fastener and then sends the script file to AutoCAD. Each line of the script file is interpreted by AutoCAD just as if you had typed it yourself. Sometimes an error happens when CALC4CAD is sending a fastener or gear and afterward dialog boxes do not work in AutoCAD. Is this normal? Yes, unfortunately. CALC4CAD was unable to send the entire script file which includes resetting several AutoCAD system variables that are used. The main items that may be changed are the current layer, the object snap setting and the FILEDIA system variable. The user can easily reset the current layer and the object snap settings but users may never have seen FILEDIA before
