CADMIND DIM

Analyse the drawing, check the labelling and generate a new DGN with native CARF cells.

Labelling technical drawings requires time and care. CADMIND DIM by LuArtX IT supports you in this: the programme analyses your DGN drawing, identifies sections and plans the labelling based on your labelling standards. It then creates a new DGN with native CARF labelling cells from your template.
Your original drawing is read only and remains unchanged.

Three steps to a labelled DGN

Select files: Specify the source drawing, the template DGN with your labelling cells and the output DGN.
Analyse the drawing: CADMIND DIM reads the drawing and plans the dimensioning. In the drawing view, you can check the result in the DGN’s original colours.

Generate a new DGN: The programme writes the dimensioning as native CARF cells into a new DGN and carries out a structural check. Key figures and test reports ensure the result is transparent.

Your dimensioning standard as a basis

CADMIND DIM uses the cells from your template DGN. You can adopt the scale and text height from the project profile of the target DGN or set them manually. You can also specify how existing dimensions are to be handled.
Any layers required from the template that are missing from the drawing are automatically included in the output and listed in the results.

Check annotations in the drawing selectively

The drawing view displays the original drawing in its original colours. You can show and hide layers and highlight new annotations. Use zoom and pan functions to examine individual areas in detail.
For text alignment, choose between three options:

• Following the duct direction, rounded to 0°, 45° or 90°
• Exactly along the duct direction
• Exclusively horizontal and vertical

This allows you to adapt the labelling to the requirements of your plan.

Take storeys and elevation references into account

Details such as top edge and bottom edge require a suitable elevation reference. CADMIND DIM recognises storey information in the plan and populates the storey table with suggestions.

Check and complete the values for reference, floor and ceiling. You can then use the storey table as the basis for the elevation details in the labelling.

Check results transparently

The results overview shows how many labelling cells have been generated and which levels have been included. Omitted labels are listed along with the respective reason.

The integrated structural check verifies offline whether the generated cells match the template and whether all other plan data has remained unchanged. A QA report and an HTML preview support further verification.

The subsequent check in MicroStation and following the CARF ‘Update’ command complements this structural check. The CARF check is performed on a copy of the output DGN.

Work offline – no login or cloud required

CADMIND DIM operates entirely locally: no login, no cloud and no telemetry. The interface is available in German, English, Spanish and French. A light and a dark mode are available for the display.
