Arc vs. Chamfered Wiring?

[scottbaldy]

I am trying to learn some basics about wiring. I found a reference to Arc Wiring in book but there was no explaination as to what Arc wiring is. There was also a reference to Chamfered Wiring but again no explaination. What are these? Does anyone know of a good website that describes these wiring types? Thanks.

Huh?

Could you perhaps reveal which book?

It is terminology relating to CAD layouts of wiring used in construction rather than physical installation methods. Have a look at

http://augiru.augi.com/content/library/au07/data/paper/ME500-1.pdf,

particularly page 30 of 41

Oh, and check out

http://www.google.com:

that's where the answer above turned up.

Is it a very, very old book that dates back to the days of arc lights and wood strips to conceal wiring?

This has nothing to do with electrical wiring, but how to draw it in acad. An arc takes points and draws a part of a circle. A Chamfered is a way of rounding a corner in a drawing, you select the radius of the corner so it looks rounder. This is ways that acad draws a wire.

Sorry guys... I found this in some RevitMEP literature from Autodesk. Got these terms mixed up with notes from other references. pwrengrds - I think this is what they are refering to - simply a different way of formating linework on electrical drawings. Thanks for all the responses!

Oh ScottyUK, thanks for the insight into

http://www.google.com...

never heard of that before ;-)

Hi scottbaldy, t'was meant in jest.

Is this terminology unique to that software package or is it used throughout the industry? I don't do much building services work so I'm curious.
