Block Distributor Pro v10.0

Precision Engineering Tool for CAD Professionals

Developed by Sreekanth Kadungil, Block Distributor Pro is a powerful CAD utility designed to automate the placement of blocks in grids, staggered patterns, and complex rotated areas with mathematical precision.

Getting Started

To launch the application, type the following command in your CAD command line:

Command: BD23

Core Functions

1. Source Definition
Quickly select your target block and layer. Use the "Pick >" button to automatically identify a block and its properties directly from your drawing.
2. Array Quantities
Define exactly how many columns (X-axis) and rows (Y-axis) you need. The tool calculates spacing automatically based on the area you define.
3. Placement Modes
2-Pt (Rectangle): Best for orthogonal spaces.
3-Pt (Rotated): Define a custom origin, X-vector, and Y-vector for skewed or angled areas.
4. Transformation Control
Toggle between Auto-Align (blocks follow the angle of your area) or Manual (input a specific rotation angle).

Advanced Professional Features

  • Staggered Layout: Ideal for seating charts, brickwork, or landscaping patterns where rows need to be offset.
  • Match Visibility: A high-level dynamic block utility. Sync the visibility state of a "Master" dynamic block to all selected blocks in seconds.
  • Live Preview: See your layout before committing. Press Enter to adjust settings if the placement isn't perfect.
  • Scale Override: Uniformly scale all inserted blocks during the distribution process.
