A collection of helpful AutoCAD scripts used to speed up the set up process and overall design of projects. Also included is a dwg file for dynamic MEP blocks
DrawingScales.xlsx
A list of view port scaling key factors
Dynamic Blocks and Such
A series of MEP and Architectural dynamic blocks
ExportToAutoCAD
A simple script that exports the drawing
ImageFrameRemoval
Easy fix for the "Image Frame Bug"
allowexplodeblocks
Allows all blocks in a drawings to be burstable/exploadable
changeColors
This is a script that will thaw and unhide all layers then change the layer colors. This is purely an example of how to write the
script. Layer colors can be anything. You can even change linetype with this example.
continuosarc
Creates a way to make arcs continuously.
continuousLine
Creates a way to make lines continuously. Different from a polyline.
deleteAroundArea

rename-multiple-files
This is a simple batch file that can rename files in a folder
rotateMultipleBlocks
Select specific block and you can rotate them around their basepoint
setup
This is a tool that preps a CAD base file to be used for MEP drawing. It clears useless data within the file making it a smaller size.
breakAtIntersection
This routine breaks a line at a specified gap distance. To use it enter the distance desired and select the point at intersection then select the line to use to break with.
dwgFoo
This cleans up the drawing by thawing and making all layers visible, then bursting all blocks in the drawing. Only use the bursting section for smaller drawings. It will take a while on larger ones. Overkills any overlap after the bursting Resets the layer properties to "ByLayer" Audits the drawing Purgest the drawing twice Zooms to extents then saves Pauses during each command to allow for processing
dwgClean
This routine cleans up a drawing by running and audit and a purge VCD (very clean drawing)
