Hi all,
I'm using Autocad2000 on a WinXP machine, and have recently had the
following problem appear.
When using what I think are TrueType fonts (Ariel etc) they appear on screen
as they should, but on previewing and printing they appear as a hollow
outlined font. This happens even if I write as...
Hi all,
I am designing a pumped system which will be transferring mildly saline nutrient rich water around an aquaculture project. The animals are very sensitive to H2S at low levels, which is going to form if the water sits in the pipes and goes anoxic. Is there a way of configuring the pump so...
Hi all,
I am having some difficulty in drawing simple pipe runs in 3D. I have no experience with 3D, but have nutted out some slab layouts etc, but have the following problem:
If I draw pipe CL, if it is not in an ortho plane then the extrusion of a circular face does not follow the path, but...
Hi all,
I have a 62 year rainfall record on which a number of calculations are performed. The data set is used to model the performance of a set of ponds to determine spill occurrence, make-up volumes etc.
Is there a way to perform a sort of conditional sumif based on the dates? For example to...
Hi all,
Can anyone point me to a LISP routine for Autocad 2000 that will take a line of uppercase text and turn it into lowercase text?
Unfortunately the text is not MTEXT, so I suppose that a useful alternative routine would be one that turns several lines of text into an MTEXT block.
I have a...
Hi all,
I'm using Autocad 2000 on WinXP, and have a question regarding unit conversion. I'm redrawing an old site plan, only available as a scrappy A3 printout, with all layouts and details including co-ordinates in feet & inches. Can I set the model space to Imperial units, recreate the file...
Hi all,
Does anyone have any insights regarding the following:
A large sewerage treatment secondary pond 200x100x0.9m is stratifying to 0.3-0.6m resulting in blue-green algae bloom, pushing pH to 9-10 and knocking out the green algae. I'm looking at two options to mix the pond, one is a...
Hi all, this is not strictly the place to post this, but there doesn't appear to be an appropriate forum.
I'm sure many of you have been in the position where a contract between the engineer and the client includes clauses along the lines of:
"all inventions, discoveries and improvements...
Hi again,
I am using Autocad 2000 on a WinXP machine, and would like to know if you can make viewports opaque. The example is a full page viewport with topographic information - contours, features etc - and a series of text boxes in paperspace identifying points of interest. I would like the...
Hi all,
I'm using ACAD2000 on a WinXP machine, with Canon A4 bubblejet printer. When I create a new drawing, the page setup will only allow me to set the paper space to the size supported by my printer. If I use a dwg that has had the page size set to A3 to start with, eg a work PC connected to...
Good morning all,
Can anyone provide advice as to calculating the capacity of a vertical standpipe acting as overflow relief in a pond? The only formulae I have that approximate the situation are for weir flow, but I'm not sure if it is applicable. I'm particularly interested in the performance...
