SUPER MENU Browse
and
On-Line Databases

Browse is a core technology of SUPER MENU. With it, you can browse any ASCII file. You can select lines and import them as text into the drawing file - great for maintaining standard notes, even supports the use of columns. Developers can use Browse to select a line and write it to a temporary file for input into another routine. SUPER MENU makes the following uses of Browse:

  • FindFile will search the AutoCAD Path for a file and then browse it. You can then select lines for input into your drawing.
  • On-Line Database uses browse to view the many data tables that come with SUPER MENU. (Shown below viewing bolt data.) This makes it easy to find data that is normal in reference manuals. Users can use Browse to expand this capability with their own data.
  • SM-Threads uses Browse to select a thread to draw.
  • SM-Steel uses Browse to select steel shapes.
