what_lev.cdl
Description:
The second (what_level.cdl) was posted on the Cadkey Webforum in answer to a request for a simple CADL file to just report an entity's level, rather than the verbose report the 'verify attribute' command gives.
Regards,

inch_bom.cdl
Description:
Here are 2 more CADL files for inclusion on your page. The first (inch_bom.cdl) is identical to my original 'bom.cdl' which appears on your page already), except that it is in inch sizes. Please note that it doesn't contain any of the enhancements Roger Lear made when he created 'bom2.cdl'. It is just an inch conversion of the original metric one.

bom2.cdl
Description:
Well, I spent the rest of my Christmas/New Years holiday revising this fine CADL utility. Guess I'm a glutton for punishment. It still generates a BOM in a fixed format, but here are the changes I've made:
1) The "sizes" have been changed to inches
2) The ballooning part has been changed to incorporate the changes that I made to Kevin's original ballooning utility. (See "Yet another Balloon CDL" in this forum) This allows for single, split and stacked balloons.
3) The utility now asks for "drawing scale". This is the scale that the drawing will be printed in. The utility then automatically resizes the balloons and BOM to fit that scale. This is for those of us that can't print everything full scale. I have to use half and quarter a lot, and sometimes double scale, so I have to change my border size accordingly.
4) Again, this is a FIXED format. My BOM has one additional column compared to Phil's but you can change it to suit. (Or Phil can. Or I can.)
Well, anyway, here ya go. Have fun:

balloon2.cdl
Description:
OK, here's my "latest" revision (what a way to spend a Christmas vacation!) of this wonderful little utility. The changes I've made are:
1.) Made it easier to change between single and split balloons on the fly
2.) Made it possible to make "stacked" balloons. This is done by making a balloon without a leader, and using the grid/snap functions to locate the balloon. Not very high-tech, but it works.

bom.cdl
Description:
Hi everyone, I have a cadl to share. It makes generating a BOM (together with item balloons) quite easy. There are 2 things to note: 1)The sizes are all in metric, so they will need to be converted to inches if you work in inch units. 2)The balloon code was not written by me, and I have given credit to it's author in the header. It will write a BOM in a fixed format. If you don't like it, change it yourself or send me your requirements & I'll change it for you. Briefly, things to be aware of during use are: 1)If you don't want to insert an entry in a BOM field, just hit enter. 2)You are given 3 ways to specify material size, input via the keyboard, skipping size entry, and picking points. Picking points asks you to specify 2 points that are the extremities of the item in the x, y & z direction. This allows you to specify material size directly from your drawing without the need to measure the item. The code is rather long-winded, and I am sure all you cadl experts out there will agree. It is pretty bug-free, but if you find any problems I would appreciate an e-mail to let me know what they are so I can correct them. Any feedback or suggestions for improvement would also be appreciated, either by e-mail or posted on this forum.

balloon3.cdl
Description:
Here's another balloon CDL that I wrote. You can start the detail number at any number, and it will increment by one number for every successive balloon created. You can also configure the colors, sizes, and single or split balloon. The balloons are also created as a collective. Since it is configurable, it creates a file called balloon.dat, and places it in your cdl directory. Make sure to check the "READ" and "WRITE" statements (lines 6 & 163) to see if the directory structure matches the on one your machine. Enjoy, and please provide any feedback that you may have.

balloon1.cdp
Description:
Here is one of my first attempts at cadl. It doesn't work in layout mode or in any viewport except view 1. Give it a try and see what you think.
