Rather than a plugin to directly replace the DC Attribute interface, perhaps some form of graphic based workflow would help. I'm relying on memory to comment here and have not used the Parametric version of AutoCad, maybe there is now something better than I remember! In AutoCad I used Dynamic Blocks which provided constraints but, again, the input required was akin to what you would use in SU DCs. It's probably ten years since I used either of those but do recall that Revit 'Families' (equivalent of DCs) were far more difficult to build than Sketchup DCs but they used a similar syntax/language and method to provide the instructions for making them work. As the designer (of the DC) only you know how the parts should interact.ĪutoCad and Revit were mentioned earlier in the thread.

I fear you will be waiting a long time for this! Apart from making the DC Component Attribute panel a bit easier on the eye you will always have to somehow program each element of the DC to do what you want it to do. Hope there is some extension coming soon to solve this issue.
