I've got a wierd one for you. I'm having problems trying to offset a closed polyline. If I want to offset, say 100mm outside I just specify the distance, pick the object and click outside it. Now, the problem I'm having is when I try to offset inside. I specify my offset distance, pick the...

Dear All I am designing an RC slab to support a silo which bears on to the slab via 4 No. legs (square on plan). Each leg produces a point load of 140kN and the self weight of the slab produces a UDL of 12kN/m2. The slab is ground bearing. Working on a safe bearing pressure of 75 kN/m2 how do...

I am trying to ascertain the wind load on the roof of a cylindrical projection of a house. The roof is conical with a 4m diameter base and a perpendicular height of approximately 3.8m (the roof is approximately 10m above ground level). BS 6399 Part 2 doesn't offer much help for structures of...

Ginger Would about the practical implications of what you are trying to achieve? What is the width of the connecting plate? I imagine if it's quite narrow it be difficult to actually hold in place whilst welding. (Resulting in greater labour costs.) Mind you, I never seem to get out of this...

How do I set cells to exact dimensions? Say I wanted to print a sheet that had rows of 10mm height and columns of 15mm width. Also, does anyone know the ratio of column width to row height to enable me to use square cells?

I've recently carried out a series of experiments, loading reinforced concrete beams to destruction at elevated temperatures. I want plot load/deflection and moment/curvature but at every increment of deflection recording, the temperature was also taken. Is there any way of plotting deflection...

I've never been able to dimension an arc but I tend to list it then draw a line from one end to the centre point and then to the other end (forming a cheese wedge). Then dimension the angle between the two lines and edit the Mtext manually. It's not an answer but it looks okay when plotted.

I.m trying to put together some drawing sheet templates. I'd like to get the attributes in a particular order but when I save and then open the template and edit, the attributes are not in the order that I wanted. I was under the the impression that I have have to go in reverse order but this...

Thanks guys, the world is now a better place for me.

Is it possible to super/subscript letters in Mtext? And if yes, how?

Wouldn't the dead load deflection be taken out from the pre-cambering of the beam?

I'm learning a little about the subject for my dissertation and I suggest you contact Smartfibres at www.smartfibres.com. They are leaders in the field of optical strian sensing.
