Install Plugin for AutoCAD

With the plugin for AutoCAD, we provide you with certain program functions in AutoCAD. This includes, but is not limited to, user settings and the commands in the "Elevations" section. These are linked via an interface, which means that all changes are automatically applied to the respective Logikal project.

Requirements

Program version 12.4: AutoCAD 2024 or AutoCAD 2025
Program version 12.6: AutoCAD 2026
License for CAD Suite 2D
AutoCAD as the default application in the operating system for the file formats ". dwt", ".dxf" and ".dwg"

Installation

On the home screen, click "Settings" > "Additional settings":
Select the "Interfaces" tab.
In the "AutoCAD Plugin" section, click "Install":

Setup

Open AutoCAD.
Click the "Logikal plugin" tab and select the "Plugin configuration" command:
In the next window, select the program path from your Logikal installation and click "OK".
On the "Logikal plugin" tab, click "Log-on":

The Logikal features are now available in AutoCAD:
Read "CAD Suite 2D" for further details on the individual commands of the plugin.

Transfer layers to AutoCAD

On the home screen, click "Settings" > "Cross section".
Click "Layer" to draw elements on different layers:
If the layer does not already exist in AutoCAD, the elements are created in the colours defined in Logikal:

Mullion/transom curtain wall	1	Al	3-0	Blue

Notes:

If the layer already exists in AutoCAD and Logikal has selected a colour other than "Standard", AutoCAD displays the colour "From layer".
Entries in the "Layer numbers" column affect the cross section and the CAD Suite 2D.
Ensure that the entries from the "Descriptions" column in Logikal are the same as in your external CAD system.
