Set your "FILEDIA" Variable to 1.

Corvette63. Here is the steps I had to go through on my acad to get color. Type "plot". Click on "plot style (pen assignments)". That opens a "plot style table editor", choose a color under "Plot Style" (say red). Under "Properties" were it says "color" (it should show black and say black)...

I have grown up in construction and I was under the understanding that the double part of a beam and/or header was for lateral strength.

The easiest way for me is to use the "wblock" command. I'm just not sure if that is what you are asking about here?

Whodapookie, As a carpenter I was always curious about a stair case like you are asking about I have had people tell me they have built this types of stair case (out of wood) for 30 years and yet when press to tell me where they are, so I can go see them, they can not remember the exact...

Framermike In 1968 when I was 7 years old I would go to work with my Dad, mainly cleaning the job site and carrying material around. In 1979 I was working for my Dad as a carpenter. After 18 years of working as a carpenter for a living (28 years plus total), I feel I have plenty of experience...

audwilly, I am hoping for your sake you had these tji's engineered. This way you can let the problem be a pain in his back. If not, call the manufacture and find out from them the recommendations to beef up there product. I recommend in this world we live in today to do a lot of CYA. I...

Abutler is correct in the people using the nail guns not being careful. Also a big problem we seam to be encountering is the nails being overdriven. The people doing the work may have the right nail (diameter and length) but the nail is sunken into the sheathing 3/16" to 1/4". There is a tech...

JAE, While reading the post I was on the mind set that SperlingPE was asking if he could increase the values by 40% just cause they were going to be using a nail gun. I have not ran across or have I been told that I am allowed to increase in values just cause a nail gun is being used. I was just...

NO. From my understanding just because the nail came out of a nail gun does not mean the nail is any stronger than a nail driven by hand. I fact it could be weaker. In a similar I attended at Simpson Strong Tie, there engineers pointed out that nails for nail guns will (in most cases) have a...

I have tried to reproduce your command line to work with no success. When I remove the "polor" function from the command line and placed it up into my "setq" area, the dimensions line gets placed. I am not sure if placing the "polar" function in a command line can work, it is just something I...

There could be a new way of doing this that I am not aware of. In the past what we have always done is have a opening (just like a door) and the fire box will get framed in the opening. As the fire box rises to the damper and smoke shelf it gets built out ward. Once the box is out far enough or...

I do not know how much I can help you on this. I am not an Engineer but do work for one. Sometimes I can argue a point to try to save on cost on construction or make things go much easier in the field. A couple of years ago we did the Engineering of some town homes (4 stories). I tried to argue...

It is nice to see that "Afralisp" is back up and running. This is a web site I really did miss when it was shut down. Again AfraLisp, - WELCOME BACK.

I wrote a code one time that worked sometimes and did not work the next time I would need it. I found that if my osnap was off or I was zoomed in close it worked. What was taking place was the object snap was causing lines to start and end where they were not wonted. I wrote in the code to set...

Try "\X" with out the "". Or you can go to: http://home.pacifier.com/~nemi/ This is a web site by Leonid Nemirovsky. He has a lisp routine add 2nd line to Dim (#53 at this time) that can split the text for you.

TFL, I get a bigger laugh out of this post the way you said it.

Hope this is what you are looking for: Type = LIGHT Select = NEW You well get a dialog box for a light source. Good Luck.

I have to agree with AlohaBob. You need to try to get your friend to fix to problem. I am not a Engineer myself but I am working and have become very good friends with the Engineer I work for. Many of times I am doing calculations, inspection, drawings or other task for him and the only thing on...

Wittenborn That is a very clever idea.
