User Guides#

This section contains detailed tutorials and guides for using Drawing Tools in various scenarios.


Available Guides#

πŸ—οΈ Featured Classes

Learn how to use the core wrapper classes: FeaturedDrawing, FeaturedSheet, and FeaturedView. Understand the delegation pattern and how to navigate the enriched drawing hierarchy.

Featured Classes Guide
🌐 Language Configuration

Configure multi-language support for parsing view titles. Understand scale patterns, repetition patterns, and view type keywords.

Language Configuration Guide
πŸ” View Title Extraction

Master the extraction and interpretation of view titles, including view types, identifiers, scales, text styles, and more.

ViewTitle Guide
πŸ“‹ Table Navigation

Extract structured data from tables and title blocks in technical drawings. Learn about SheetTableDetector, TableCell, and GridCell.

Table Navigation
🎈 Balloon Analysis

Analyze balloon symbols in technical drawings. Detect parent/child relationships, multiplicator flags, and for-info flags (PM/FM). Access balloons at view level or sheet level.

Balloon Analysis
πŸ“ Sheet Set Detection

Detect and query named sub-regions (sets) within a sheet. Identify subdivision lines, SET markers, and map views to sets.

Sheet Set Detection
βœ‚οΈ Section Line Indicators

Detect section line indicators (renvois de vues) showing where section cuts are made. Access identifiers, cross-references, and arrow directions.

Section Line Indicators
πŸ”— Auxiliary View Indicators

Detect standalone view cross-references (auxiliary view indicators) that are not part of a title or section line indicator. Visualize all identifier-bearing objects together.

Auxiliary View Indicators
πŸ–ΌοΈ Display & Report Methods

Complete reference of all @plot_data_view and @markdown_view methods, with interactive examples for each FeaturedSheet overlay.

Display & Report Methods

πŸ“Š Graph-Based Analysis

Edge adjacency graphs, geometry-dimension relationships, and constraint graphs.

Graph-Based Analysis
πŸ”— Geometric Constraints

Detect and verify implicit geometric constraints between drawing entities.

Geometric Constraints
πŸ“ Dimension Analysis

Advanced dimension analysis with constraint point detection.
