What it does

Fixture identifies suitable joints between flat solid parts and places selected fixture blocks along them. It supports fittings, fasteners, hinges, shelf holders, brackets, locks, dowels, biscuits, and other hardware. Placement settings include edge distances, spacing methods, alignment, mounting depth, symmetry, and joint-length limits. Fixture blocks can come from a template or another drawing, and custom blocks can be created. The add-in can also place fixtures across gaps and rotate them to match the parts.

Key capabilities

from the Autodesk App Store listing

Joint detection

Finds adjacent flat surfaces between selected solid parts and identifies suitable joints for fixture placement.

Fixture placement

Arranges fixture blocks along the long side of a joint and rotates them to match the parts.

Fixture library

Includes blocks for RTA fittings, fasteners, hinges, shelf holders, brackets, catches, dowels, biscuits, locks, latches, and other hardware.

Custom fixtures

Allows fixture blocks with correctly prepared internal solids to be created and used.

Spacing controls

Supports fixed edge margins, fixed spacing steps, adjustable first-fixture distances, and maximum repeated-fixture steps.

Alignment settings

Adjusts mounting depth, center alignment, corner distance, and furniture-standard 32 mm positioning.

Drawing block sources

Selects fixture blocks from template files or other drawings and copies them into the current drawing.

Fixture size checks

Checks whether selected parts are large enough for the dimensions of the chosen fixture.

Use cases

  • Furniture and product designers can arrange hardware on right-angle connections between particleboard or MDF parts.
  • Fabrication workflows can limit fixture placement to the width of a drilling machine and distribute fasteners from both joint ends.
  • Custom command buttons and palettes can be created for arranging different fixtures.
