Yqarch Autocad 2017 Upd

Here’s a new feature concept for yqarch (a popular AutoCAD plugin for architectural drafting) that would fit well with AutoCAD 2017 (which supports dynamic blocks, parameter sets, and basic C#/LISP APIs):

Feature Name: Smart Wall & Opening Update (yqarch "Upd+") What it does: Automatically updates all walls, doors, windows, and room labels after a floor plan change — with a single command: UPD+ Key capabilities:

Dynamic Wall-Join Repair

After moving/stretching a wall, UPD+ reconnects intersecting walls automatically (fixing gaps or overlaps).

Opening Repositioning

If a wall length changes, all doors/windows in that wall maintain their relative distance from ends (e.g., 150mm from left end stays 150mm from new left end).

Room Label & Area Sync

Room labels (e.g., “BEDROOM – 12.5 m²”) recalculate area from the updated boundary hatch/polyline.

Layer & Property Standardization

Checks all updated objects against your yqarch layer template and reapplies correct linetypes, colors, and plot styles.

Change Highlighting

Temporarily clouds or colors modified objects (e.g., cyan for moved walls, green for relabeled rooms) for visual verification.
