GTExplorer - AutoCAD File Browser Palette
« on: April 09, 2008, 10:54:11 PM »
Post Update: At the request of an end-user, I've updated the extension to support AutoCAD 2011 (while adding 2007, 2008, & 2009 usability also).

GTExplorer is an AutoCAD palette plug-in aimed at bridging the gap between file browsers (such as Windows Explorer) and AutoCAD.  As I hadn't touched this project for the past 2 years I decided to completely rewrite it, incorporating any acquired knowledge. I'm really keen on hearing feedback and possibly feature-requests.

Features include:
  • Palette remains open while drawings are closed.
  • Filtered list views for separating CAD within a folder.
  • Customizable quick folder links. (To remove any links, delete the corresponding line from the generated ini file).
  • Quick link to current active drawing directory.
  • Open any file within it's registered default application by double-clicking within the list views, (folders by the computer icon).

Installation:
  • Save and extract the attached zip file.
  • Through AutoCAD, use the 'NetLoad' command and load the corresponding version.
  • Initialize the palette through the 'GTExplorer' command.
