I have customers who want drawings in DWG format. To do this I have a macro that puts different line and annotation onto different layers. This can be done with swAnnot.GetType. How do I select construction lines with chain style in to put them onto a centreline layer from within a macro?
I would like the file name to appear in a custom property. According to the help files I should add to the custom properties “SW-File Name” in a similar manner to the mass and other properties. However this does not work. Is it possible?
I have just done some noise measurements of a bench grinder mounted on a pedestal just to try out analysing frequencies using a microphone ( Just because I got my hands on one). I picked the grinder because it is quite noisy and didn’t have a gearbox.
It rotates at 2918 rpm circa 50 Hz however...
