About
blog nauseam is the blog of Steve Johnson, owner of cad nauseam.
Steve Johnson has been an AutoCAD specialist since 1985. He originally became well known around the world for his infamously large AutoCAD Release 13 Bug List, which he maintained as part of his duties as the Bug Threadmaster of the long-defunct CompuServe ACAD forum. Steve is also a past President of the Western Australian AutoCAD User Group (WAAUG). As a former committee member on the Applications Programming Special Interest Group of the North American Autodesk User Group (NAAUG APPROG SIG), he also contributed to the NAAUG Newsletter. NAAUG has long since been renamed as Autodesk User Group International (AUGI. Steve was part of the AUGI Benchmark Committee, which assisted in the development by Mark Middlebrook of the AUGI Gauge, a comprehensive AutoCAD benchmark.
Steve was also a Vice President of CADLock, Inc. and a contributing editor for Cadalyst magazine, writing the Bug Watch column from 1995.
Steve holds a Bachelor of Applied Science (Information Science) degree. He has developed many hundreds of LISP routines and other AutoCAD customization files in his career and prides himself on producing high quality, low maintenance software.
Steve lives in Perth, the capital city of the state of Western Australia. He enjoys drinking wine, eating Japanese food and driving very fast around corners (not simultaneously). He once played cricket very badly (this is a game like baseball except all the rules are entirely different) and was a keen fencer in his youth. He took a 23-year break from the sport before returning in 2008. His successes at this sport include:
21 Western Australian Veteran Championships
2011 Australian Veteran Sabre Champion
2016 Australian Veteran Foil Champion (50+)
2016 Australian Veteran Sabre Champion (50+)
2016 Asian Masters and Oceania Sabre Champion (50+)
2016 Commonwealth Veteran Sabre Champion (50+)
He speaks enough French to be able to ask for a room with a shower, and enough Japanese to ask you what time the party will start. His other interests include listening to classical and hideously unfashionable progressive rock and metal music, emu wrestling, collecting mushrooms, moderate consumption of Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc and Teppan-Yaki, delicately balancing throttle and steering at the limit of adhesion, and writing about himself in the third person.
ClassicArray
ClassicArray provides an enhanced dialog box interface for AutoCAD’s Array command. Provides many features not present in AutoCAD’s ARRAYCLASSIC command.
Features
ClassicArray is a simple-to use but powerful tool for creating arrays in AutoCAD.
- Provides a dialog box interface to AutoCAD’s Array command. The familiar interface method provides continuity with earlier releases; use of the Ribbon is not required.
- Supports Rectangular, Polar and Path array types.
- Supports the creation of both associative and traditional non-associative arrays.
- Provides an in-dialog preview panel to give you a quick idea of what your array will look like before any objects are created.
- Allows creation of a preview array which can be accepted, rejected or modified before the desired array is finally chosen.
- Base objects can be incorporated into the array or left intact as desired using a simple toggle.
- Allows simple creation of 3D arrays.
- Comprehensive Help is available from within the dialog box.
- Provides Ribbon tabs and toolbars, separated into associative and non-associative sections.
- Supports AutoCAD 2012 and later (updated for and tested with AutoCAD 2017).
- Digitally signed for compatibility with security features of recent AutoCAD releases.
- Setup routines are provided that support either AutoCAD 2012/2013 only or all releases from AutoCAD 2013 onwards. Uninstallation is via the standard Windows Control Panel methods (Uninstall a Program, Add/Remove Programs).
- Uses AutoCAD’s Plug-in feature to provide application behavior consistent with other add-ins.
- Acts as a workaround for various AutoCAD Array bugs and limitations.
- Supports AutoCAD for Windows and vertical products derived from it. Sorry, due to Autodesk API restrictions ClassicArray can support neither AutoCAD LT nor AutoCAD for Mac.
See the ClassicArray Help page if you want to see a full description of the product, including screenshots.
