Command for creating a new CAD document from a template.

This command opens a predefined template drawing (acadiso.dxf) from a CDN to create a new document. The template provides:

  • Standard ISO drawing settings
  • Predefined layers and styles
  • Default drawing setup

This is equivalent to "Quick New" functionality in traditional CAD applications, providing users with a ready-to-use drawing environment.

const qNewCmd = new AcApQNewCmd();
qNewCmd.execute(context); // Creates new document from template

Type declaration

Accessors

  • get globalName(): string

    Gets the global (untranslated) name of the command.

    The global name is typically used for programmatic access and should remain consistent across different language localizations.

    Returns string

    The global command name

  • set globalName(value: string): void

    Sets the global (untranslated) name of the command.

    Parameters

    • value: string

      The global command name (e.g., 'LINE', 'CIRCLE', 'ZOOM')

    Returns void

  • get localName(): string

    Gets the local (translated) name of the command.

    The local name is displayed to users and should be localized to the current language/region.

    Returns string

    The localized command name

  • set localName(value: string): void

    Sets the local (translated) name of the command.

    Parameters

    • value: string

      The localized command name (e.g., 'Draw Line', 'Zoom In')

    Returns void

Methods

  • Triggers the command execution with proper event handling.

    This method should not be overridden by subclasses as it handles the event notification workflow. Subclasses should implement the execute() method instead.

    The execution flow:

    1. Fires commandWillStart event
    2. Calls the execute() method
    3. Fires commandEnded event

    Parameters

    • context: AcApContext

      The current application context containing view and document

    Returns void

    const command = new MyCommand();
    command.trigger(docManager.context);
