    Array Command 2013

    Thanks to both for the info. Have edited the drop-down menu (yes, I have the "Classic" interface, also!) to include the Classic ARRAY command. Nate, the EXPLODE command is a good thought for some I've created and editted earlier. Biggest annoyance was in using the new command, the parameters...

    Array Command 2013

    Anyone know why Autodesk in the 2013 program has decided to change the "ARRAY" command from an extension of the "COPY" command to the creation of a block (or some other single entity) instead of basically resulting in the very familiar multiple copies of a group of objects that we ( or at least...

    Structural Software Comparison

    Have used Digital Canal products and am very pleased. Not for the huge robust stadium roof projects, but for less complex projects, they work well and are relatively inexpensive. They have a product which works within AutoCAD (Frame Analysis) and a standalone (VersFrame), as well as modules...

    Overhead Crane (CMAA-spec) Weld Repair Testing Requirements

    unclesyd: couldn't agree more with the last statement. In my case at hand, it is a third party not wanting to spring for the NDT, and the Onwer (my client) looking for a way to force them via regualtion/requirements/specification. I htink I've onvinced the Owner, as you say, that it is a...

    Overhead Crane (CMAA-spec) Weld Repair Testing Requirements

    Thansk to both of you for the info. Not much I've found thus far in ANSI, and as usual Federal Docs. are difficult to search (and even more difficult to understand once you find the item you're loooking for!), but I will keep at it.

    Overhead Crane (CMAA-spec) Weld Repair Testing Requirements

    Does anyone know if there is a regulatory requirement for NDT testing of repair or renovation welds for overhead and jib crane structural components, either in CMAA (I don't find any there in the obvious places) or from OSHA or other sources? Obviously, NDT testing is recommended to insure that...

    Bridge Crane Side Thrust

    A couple comments: most new EOT crane bridge wheels for cranes made/installed in US are double-flanged, turned flat; however, a few are made with a tapered running surface, to "center" the crane on the runway rails. The rails in US have a very slight crown, with eased edges; however that crown...

    ANCHOR RODS DESIGN VALUES & DEVELOPMENT

    For more on my previous post, see thread 507-261705 (two earlier than this current rhead.)

    ANCHOR RODS DESIGN VALUES & DEVELOPMENT

    AISC Design Guide #1 is currently being rewritten, to be issued as Rev. #3. On the website, Rev. #2 is no longer available. They tell me there will not be significant changes from Rev. #2, if you can obtain a copy of it.

    WIPEOUT DISPLAYS PROPERLY BUT WON'T PLOT

    Thansk to all. It does appear the my plotter (TechJet 720) does not support the raster plotting, at least as it is presently configured. I did try to reset the "sortents" variable (it was 127), to no avail. I then tried to plot to an HP750, and the plot came out fine. Have to upgrade the...

    WIPEOUT DISPLAYS PROPERLY BUT WON'T PLOT

    I searched and didn't find this problem discussed in the last couple years: I have wipeout boxes in paperspace. They mask the modelspace itmes behind certain text and other annotations created in paperspace. On sacreen, the wipeouts properly mask what is in modelspace behind. However, when...

    AutoCAD 2004:Plotting with Calcomp Techjet 720

    I am ecstatic! For eight months I postponed installing 2004, due to the plotter problems I had updating to 2000. I finally decided to install 2004, then buy a new plotter. When I opened the Plotter Manager om 2004, I find that 2004 has included Cal-Comp plotters in the driver/setup list--2000...

    AutoCAD 2004:Plotting with Calcomp Techjet 720

    Am having problem with drivers (?) in plotting in 2004. Had similar problem in 2002. Calcomp no longer around, and "hit-or-miss" approach to setting up a compatible driver isn't getting me anywhere fast. Anyone know of way to configure this plotter to work in 2004 (or 2000?)

    old beam sizes

    I skimmed through some old ref. as well--Cambria ca. 1914, Bethlehem 1928, Carnegie, 1920--and didn't find any exact matches. For the 10", Carnegie B11 X25 #/ft., 5/16" web, 5/16" flange at toe, is closest. The 14 3/4" dim. is possibly an indication that the section is worn, possibly from...

    CalComp TEchJet 720 driver for 2004; W XP

    Thanks, Joe. Same problem I had w/ACAD 2000. Will keep searching--or perhaps invest in a new plotter.

    CalComp TEchJet 720 driver for 2004; W XP

    I have a CalComp Techjet 720 (model 5436R.) Switching from r14 to 2000, the plotter configured, but never plotted quite correctly--orientation, etc. out of wack, but marginally usable. I'm afraid to go to 2004 with it in present condition. Anyone know of drivers or upgrade support for this...

    Truss Vs. Beam

    Consideration for the truss costs is dependent somewhat on depth/span requirements. However, my experience has been that trusses of this nature (midwest--nothern Ohio locations) cost between $0.90 and $ 1.20 per pound, fabricated. Assuming no significant fabrication on the W40 section, I would...
