IvAcCapture - Sector Design Utility
Download
 107Kb. Rel.1.2.0.0 (20/Aug/09)
IvAcCapture is a small utility that can be used in IvAc sector design.
It's able to generate points, lines or complex drawing in .SCT format.
It's also capable to "capture" IvAc Title Bar window Lat/Long coordinates
This feature enable you to "draw" directly form IvAc window.
Each figure (or point/line) can be used in [GEO],[SID], STAR], [ARTCC],[ARTCC LOW] and [ARTCC HIGH] sections of .SCT file
For each section you can specify the line type ([GEO]) or the name ([STAR]/[SID])
All drawings are written in a temp file and at any time can be copied to the clipboard
and manually pasted to the .SCT file.
A reload button refresh current sector in IvAc (no current view restore available - sorry)
A function to cut a delimited Section of a .SCT file selecting rectangle coordinates from IvAc window is also available
Now you can use IvAcCapture to extract VOR/NDB/FIX/AIRWAY from NavData files (PMDG version) into .SCT file selecting rectangle coordinates from IvAc window
For repetitive tasks is available a CommandLine option to specify a file containing the tasks to perform
If you wish to create your own font Take a look the FONT SDK

Usage:
Launch IvAcCapture
Choose figure to draw (point, line, holding, Procedure turn, DME arc, Turns, Text) and set right parameters
Check the WindowOnTop flag
Change to IvAc window (ALT+TAB)
Turn on Scroll-Lock key to enable recording
Click directly on IvAc window the starting point of the figure
If the figure is a complex design as Holding, Procedure Turn, DME Arc, Turns or Text,
the Scroll-lock will be turned off automatically
Otherwise, continue single click to draw all lines (or points) you need
If you need to move the IvAc Map, keep ALT key button pressed while moving or zooming,
then release and continue clicking to draw.
If you need to draw an "handfree" line, use the Mouse Center button (or Mouse Wheel button)
instead of Mouse Left button.
Once finished, turn Scroll-lock Off
Use the Copy&Clear button to copy your draw to the clipboard and manually paste it into your .SCT file.
Use Reload button to reload PDV into IvAc
Note: full remarks in the temp file
