<Bold>Description</Bold> <LineBreak/> <Run>This AutoLISP command creates an interactive AutoCAD tool named </Run><Run Foreground="DarkRed" FontWeight="Bold">30para</Run><Run>, with </Run><Run Foreground="DarkRed" FontWeight="Bold">PARA30</Run><Run> also available as an alias command. The program opens a DCL dialog where the user defines a parallel/profile run, optional 30 degree ending branch, chained continuation behavior, offset profile size, start-point behavior, reference angle behavior, Ortho mode behavior, centerline layer settings, and target offset layer settings.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run>The tool allows the user to create parallel cable-channel/profile geometry either from a selected reference entity or from a picked reference angle. The first part of the command creates a straight parallel run with profile offsets. The command can then continue from the end of that run and add a 30 degree angled ending branch without a straight tail segment.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run>After a first route is created, the </Run><Run Foreground="DarkBlue" FontWeight="Bold">Apply</Run><Run> button can continue the route from the last endpoint with another 30 degree branch. This allows the user to build a chained angled route segment by segment. The command finishes when the user presses </Run><Run Foreground="DarkBlue" FontWeight="Bold">OK</Run><Run> in the dialog or presses </Run><Run Foreground="Red" FontWeight="Bold">ESC</Run><Run> during placement.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run>The constructed centerline is automatically placed on the layer </Run><Run Foreground="Magenta" FontWeight="Bold">_Hilflinie</Run><Run>, while the offset/profile edge lines can be placed on a selected target layer from the dialog.</Run> <LineBreak/>
<Bold>Functionalities</Bold> <LineBreak/> <Run> Opens a custom </Run><Run Foreground="DarkBlue" FontWeight="Bold">DCL dialog</Run><Run> for configuring the parallel/profile generation before placement.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Allows the user to create the first run from either a </Run><Run Foreground="DarkRed" FontWeight="Bold">selected reference entity</Run><Run> or a </Run><Run Foreground="DarkRed" FontWeight="Bold">picked reference angle</Run><Run>.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Supports curve-like reference objects such as lines, polylines, arcs, circles, ellipses, and splines when entity mode is used.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Includes a </Run><Run Foreground="DarkBlue" FontWeight="Bold">Reference angle</Run><Run> section where the user can optionally calculate the active reference angle by picking two points in the drawing.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Includes a </Run><Run Foreground="DarkBlue" FontWeight="Bold">Pick angle <</Run><Run> button that temporarily returns to the drawing and asks the user to select two points used for angle calculation.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Displays the calculated reference angle in a dedicated </Run><Run Foreground="DarkGreen" FontWeight="Bold">Calculated angle</Run><Run> field in degrees.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Includes a </Run><Run Foreground="DarkRed" FontWeight="Bold">Use picked reference angle</Run><Run> checkbox. When enabled, the calculated angle becomes the active reference direction for the parallel run.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> If no reference angle is picked, or if </Run><Run Foreground="DarkRed" FontWeight="Bold">Use picked reference angle</Run><Run> is not enabled, the command uses the selected reference entity direction for the parallel run.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Allows the user to select a start point and dynamically define the end point of the parallel run with the mouse.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Dynamically previews the centerline and offset/profile edge lines while the mouse moves.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Includes an </Run><Run Foreground="DarkGreen" FontWeight="Bold">M offset</Run><Run> value that controls the distance between the selected reference entity or reference axis and the generated centerline run.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Mouse position controls the M offset side, allowing the generated run to be placed to either side of the reference entity or reference angle.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Provides three start-point interpretation options: </Run><Run Foreground="DarkRed" FontWeight="Bold">Centerline</Run><Run>, </Run><Run Foreground="DarkRed" FontWeight="Bold">Offset Up</Run><Run>, and </Run><Run Foreground="DarkRed" FontWeight="Bold">Offset Down</Run><Run>.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> </Run><Run Foreground="DarkRed" FontWeight="Bold">Centerline</Run><Run> is checked by default and treats the picked start point as the centerline start point.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> </Run><Run Foreground="DarkRed" FontWeight="Bold">Offset Up</Run><Run> treats the picked start point as the upper/profile offset edge start point and shifts the centerline automatically according to the selected KK profile.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> </Run><Run Foreground="DarkRed" FontWeight="Bold">Offset Down</Run><Run> treats the picked start point as the lower/profile offset edge start point and shifts the centerline automatically according to the selected KK profile.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Provides an </Run><Run Foreground="DarkBlue" FontWeight="Bold">After parallel run click</Run><Run> section controlling what happens after the first parallel run is clicked.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> The option </Run><Run Foreground="DarkRed" FontWeight="Bold">End command after parallel run</Run><Run> creates only the straight parallel/profile geometry.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> The option </Run><Run Foreground="DarkRed" FontWeight="Bold">Continue with 30 degree ending branch</Run><Run> keeps the first run visible and starts a second dynamic step from the centerline endpoint.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> During the second dynamic step, the command previews and creates a 30 degree angled ending branch from the endpoint of the parallel run.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> The 30 degree ending branch uses the selected profile offsets and does not draw a straight tail segment.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Provides fields for </Run><Run Foreground="DarkGreen" FontWeight="Bold">End angle</Run><Run> and </Run><Run Foreground="DarkGreen" FontWeight="Bold">End branch length</Run><Run>, with typical defaults of 30 degrees and 2.00 m.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> After a route has been created, pressing </Run><Run Foreground="DarkBlue" FontWeight="Bold">Apply</Run><Run> continues from the last endpoint and starts another dynamic 30 degree branch placement.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Repeated use of </Run><Run Foreground="DarkBlue" FontWeight="Bold">Apply</Run><Run> allows the user to chain additional 30 degree angled segments from the latest endpoint.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Pressing </Run><Run Foreground="DarkBlue" FontWeight="Bold">OK</Run><Run> finishes the command without starting another placement.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Pressing </Run><Run Foreground="Red" FontWeight="Bold">ESC</Run><Run> during dynamic placement finishes the current placement workflow and returns control to AutoCAD.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> The offset/profile edge lines are mitered through the corners when angled continuation branches are used, producing clean chamfered transitions at the connections.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Provides an </Run><Run Foreground="DarkGreen" FontWeight="Bold">Ortho ON</Run><Run> checkbox in the dialog, checked by default, so the command can keep AutoCAD </Run><Run Foreground="DarkGreen" FontWeight="Bold">ORTHOMODE / F8</Run><Run> active during placement.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> The command does not force Ortho mode off after placement.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Provides a profile selection list containing predefined </Run><Run Foreground="DarkBlue" FontWeight="Bold">KK cable channel profiles</Run><Run>.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Each profile stores left and right offset distances used to generate the visible offset/profile edge lines.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> Uses AutoCAD undo marks so each committed geometry action can be undone cleanly.</Run>

<Bold>Start Point Mode Area</Bold> <LineBreak/> <Run> Includes a dedicated start-point mode section with three mutually exclusive options.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> </Run><Run Foreground="DarkRed" FontWeight="Bold">Centerline</Run><Run> treats the picked start point as the centerline start point.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> </Run><Run Foreground="DarkRed" FontWeight="Bold">Offset Up</Run><Run> treats the picked start point as the upper/profile edge start point.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> </Run><Run Foreground="DarkRed" FontWeight="Bold">Offset Down</Run><Run> treats the picked start point as the lower/profile edge start point.</Run> <LineBreak/> <Run> The selected KK profile determines how far the centerline is shifted when an offset start mode is used.</Run> <LineBreak/>
