New names for Advance Steel objects

Several object types in Advance Steel have been given new names, which are visible in the AutoCAD Properties window, or in the Edit Object Type List tab, for Rollover Tooltips and Quick Properties in Customer User Interface. These new names are more intuitive and avoid the existence of double/triple etc. identical entries.



For example, until now, there were several identical ASTSCREWBOLTPATTERN entries, all dedicated to bolt patterns, but with different creation modes (Rectangular, 2 points / Circular, center point).

For the 2016 version, differently created bolt patterns have different names, according to the creation mode: ASTBOLT2POINTS, ASTBOLTCIRCULAR, ASTBOLTCORNER, ASTBOLTMID.

Note: The AST prefix has been kept for all Advance Steel entries, with the observation that some of the objects receive an ASTX prefix, to be placed at the bottom of the alphabetical Advance Steel list. These objects are the ones that do not have Advance Steel properties assigned to them, and because of this re-naming, the ones that do have these properties are easier to reach, by being at the top of the list.
