\Main Menu: Setup
Main Menu: Setup

Description:

This function will setup the AutoWorks program and project settings.  
These settings include the units of measure, structure & pipe label 
formats and design defaults as well as plan & profile settings for 
structures and pipes.

The current setting for the environment variable, AWPATH is shown.
AWPATH is used by AutoWorks to find all program and support files.
AutoWorks will not function until this environment variable is 
set.  See "Installation" section for more details on how to set 
this variable.

Using the "Save as Defaults" button will save the current 
settings and will be used for each new project.  The "Load
Defaults" button will reset the current settings to the program
defaults.


\Project Units:
Project Units:

This functions sets system of measure (imperial or metric), the
unit text associated with various types of measure and the
internal conversion factors used by AutoWorks to store, display
and accept values.

The system of measure can be either imperial or metric, but not 
both nor a mixture of both.  The system of measure is set in the 
"Units" box area of the dialog.

Each system of measure has its own units text and conversion
factors.  The units text is displayed next to numerical values to
indicate the units.  AutoWorks stores all values, except area, in
imperial feet.  Contributing area values are stored in imperial
acres.  Each conversion factor tells AutoWorks how to display and
recieve input.

When AutoWorks displays a measurment number, the value is always
multiplied by the conversion factor.  When a measurement number 
is entered, AutoWorks always divides by the conversion factor.
In the dialog above, the imperial length conversion factor is 
1.0, since length is already in foot units.  The metric length
conversion factor is 0.3048, which is the conversion factor to 
go from meters to feet.  For example 1 foot would appear as 
0.3048 meters when using the metric system.

The units of measure for any type of measurement can be anything
desired, as long as the units text and conversion factor is correct.


\Labels: Structures

\Labels: Pipes
Labels: Pipes

This menu selection changes the format for pipe labels.  The four 
parts (length, diameter, description and slope) of the pipe label 
may be turned off or on.   Prefix and suffix text associated with 
each label part may also be changed or erased.  The label format
will affect the next pipe command that updates or creates pipe labels.

Dialog Field        Description

Pipe text***
Length         An "X" places length text in the label
Diameter       An "X" places pipe diameter text in the label
Description    An "X" places pipe descriptive text in the label
Slope          An "X" places the pipe slope text (as %) in the label

Prefix***
Length         Text to appear before the pipe length in the label
Diameter       Text to appear before the pipe diameter in the label
Description    Text to appear before the pipe description in the label
Slope          Text to appear before the pipe slope in the label

Suffix***
Length         Text to appear after the pipe length in the label
Diameter       Text to appear after the pipe diameter in the label
Description    Text to appear after the pipe description in the label
Slope          Text to appear after the pipe slope in the label

Pipe ID Only   An "X" will force the pipe labels to include just
               the pipe ID.


Example:

Given a 100 foot, 12 inch PVC pipe at a slope of 2% the pipe label 
will appear as:

     100 LF-12" PVC @ 2.00%

Spaces in any prefix or suffix will appear in the label.  Notice 
the space in " LF" shown in the length suffix.  This space forces
a blank space between the length dimension and the text "LF".


\Plan Data: Layers
Plan Data: Layers

This function sets AutoWorks plan layer names and colors.  These 
layer names and colors are stored in the file "awlayers.dat" 
file.  If the file exists, default values for layer name prompts
are the current layer names assigned.

Each layer name can be a maximum of 31 characters and the color
numbers must be between 0 and 256.  These layer names can effect
AutoWorks ability to correctly identify existing AutoWorks 
entities that are not on the new layers.  New entities will be
placed on the new layers.


\Plan Data: Structures
Plan Data: Structures

This dialog sets the current structure ID and the default sump 
depths for structures.  

The "Set Current" button sets the starting SID (Structure ID).  
The SID can have a maximum of 14 characters, and may have any
alpha-numeric prefix.  This sets the current SID for sequential
SID usage.

The structure sump depths are used to automatically compute 
bottom elevations.  The sump depth is how far the bottom of the
structure is from the lowest non-zero invert elevation.  The 
default for all structures is 0, except storm catch basins which
is 1.5 ft.


\Plan Data: Pipes
Plan Data: Pipes

This function sets the current pipe ID, pipe design default data,
and the default drawn pipe width.

The pipe default diameter and mannings values are used when 
creating new storm or sewer pipes.  The default diameter and
mannings values will be automatically filled in for all new pipes.


The default drawn pipe width is used by all PIPES routines to set
the polyline width for pipes.  The default value is 0.20 drawing
units, which is multiplied by the drawing scale (DIMSCALE) to set
the final drawn pipe width.  For example:

     the Dimscale = 50 ( 1" = 50'),

     then the drawn pipe width = 0.20  =  (50 * 0.20) = 4 
     drawing units wide.

The "Set Current" button will set the starting PID (Pipe ID).  The
PID can have a maximum of 14 characters, and may have any alpha-
numeric prefix.  This sets the current PID for sequential PID usage.


\Profile Data: layers
Profile Data: layers

This function creates or edits AutoWorks profile layer names and
colors.  The profile layer names and colors are stored in the
file "proflay.dat" file.  If the file exists, default values for
layer name prompts are the current layer names assigned.

Each AutoWorks profile layer name can be a maximum of 31 characters
and the associated color number must be between 0 and 256.


\Profile Data: Structures
Profile Data: Structures

This function defines the shape, width, outline thickness and hatch
pattern fill for profile structures.  This function will affect all
subsequently drawn profile structures.  

Dialog
Field     Description


Type      This character string is the type of structure.  For each
          type of structure there is a separate existing and 
          proposed definition.  The types are storm catchbasin,
          storm manhole, sewer cleanout, sewer manhole, storm dummy,
          and sewer dummy. 

Shape     This character string field defines the shape of the profile
          structure.  Options are RECTangle, CONE, or NONE.  The NONE
          option will not draw that type of structure in the profile.

Width     This numerical value determines how wide the structure will
          be when drawn.  For all shapes this defines how wide the 
          bottom of the structure will be.  This value is multiplied
          by the profiles horizontal scale.  For example a width of 
          0.0750 and a horizontal scale of 50, the structure width 
          will be (0.075 * 50) or 3.75 feet wide.

Line width        This numerical value determines the line thickness
                  of each structure.  A value of 0 will result in 
                  lines with no thickness.  Any other value will be
                  multiplied by the horizontal scale to determine the
                  line thickness for that structure.  This feature is
                  useful for drawing proposed structures bolder than
                  existing structures.

Hatch Pattern     This character string defines a hatch pattern 
                  associated with a structure.  Any valid hatch 
                  pattern name may be entered here. Any structures
                  that are drawn in the profile will be automatically
                  hatched with this pattern.

Hatch Scale       This numerical value determines the hatch pattern 
                  scale for the associated hatch pattern.  This value
                  is multiplied by the horizontal scale to determine
                  the final scale value.  A scale value of 1.0 will 
                  produce a hatch pattern with a scale factor the same
                  as the horizontal scale.

A few helpful hints for defining structure shapes:

- Remember that all numerical values are multiplied by the DIMSCALE
- Make sure that the hatch pattern name exists in the 'ACAD.PAT' file


\Profile Data: Options
Profile Data: Options


This function defines various profile drawing options such as where
profile pipe text labels will appear relative to the upper pipe
line.  This function will affect all subsequently drawn profiles. 


Dialog Field     Description

System to draw   Two toggles Storm and Sewer define what type of
                 system will appear in profiles.  An "X" in each
                 toggle box means that system will be drawn.  If
                 neither box is on, then nothing will appear in 
                 the profile.  Both systems will be drawn if both
                 toggles are on.

Draw left side   A toggle to draw structures and pipes on the left
                 side of the profile alignment.  An "X" in the box
                 means these structures will be drawn.

Draw right side  A toggle to draw structures and pipes on the right
                 side of the profile alignment.  An "X" in the box
                 means these structures will be drawn.

Place pipe text  Determines where pipe label text will be placed 
                 relative to the upper profile pipe line.  The 
                 "Above" option will place the label above the 
                 line.  The "Below" option will place the label
                 below the line.  The "Split" option will place the
                 pipe length and diameter above the line and the
                 pipe description and slope below the line.

Horizontal structure label  offset factor    This numeric value is 
                                             multiplied by the profile
                                             horizontal scale to 
                                             determine how far up the
                                             horizontal label insertion
                                             point is from the 
                                             structure rim.

Vertical structure label  offset factor      This numeric value is 
                                             multiplied by the profile
                                             horizontal scale to 
                                             determine how far up the
                                             vertical label insertion
                                             point is from the 
                                             structure rim.

Pipe text label offset factor                This numeric value is 
                                             multiplied by the profile
                                             horizontal scale to 
                                             determine how far the 
                                             pipe text label is from
                                             the upper pipe line.

\Main menu:  Set Proj
Main menu:  Set Proj

Description:

This function allows you to set the current project name. 
The project name is used as the project data base file and
in communicating with WaterWorks and CIA.  This
project name should match your project name in those
programs. The project name is a maximum of eight
alpha-numeric characters and it is used for DOS files
names.  The full drive and path may also be included,
however the file extension must not be specified.  An
automatic file extension of ".EDB" is assigned to the file
name.  This file is the data base for AutoWorks.


If the file already exists, a second AutoCAD dialog will
appear asking if it is okay to replace the file.  The normal
response is yes, and the file WILL NOT be over-written.


Example:

Project Name:  C:\PROJECTS\PROJECT1

The default is either the current project name or, in a new
drawing, the current drawing name.  By selecting this
command AutoWorks will automatically load itself - if
not already loaded.  This must be the first command
executed at the beginning of each drawing session.

It is highly recommended that the drawing, project name
and the WaterWorks or CIA data base file have the
SAME basic name. That is, they are both named
PROJECT1.  (In the case of the AutoCAD drawing, it
carries the extension ".dwg' and in the case
of the WaterWorks project, an extension of ".bsn" will be
assigned to it.


\Structure menu 1: Set Base

Description:

This function allows the user to set the starting SID.  The
SID can have a maximum of 15 characters, and may have
any alpha-numeric prefix.  This sets the SID for
sequential SID usage.


Example:

SID Prefix:  CB
SID starting number: 1
Next sequential SID: CB1
Next SID sequence: CB2, CB3, ...

AutoWorks will insure that this SID is unique prior to
accepting it.  If the SID is NOT unique, the user is
informed of such and the next available starting number
FOR THAT PREFIX is reported.

Description:

This function reports general and some design
information about a structure selected by the user.  This
structure can be selected by window, crossing or picking,
however only the first valid structure found will be
reported.


\Structure menu 1: Calc Sta
Structure menu 1: Calc Sta



Description:

This menu selection allows you to re-calculate the station
and offset of an existing structure based on the current
alignment.  All required structure data is automatically
updated to reflect the new station and offset.  Each
structure may contain up to five different alignment
station and offset values.  If the alignment data exists in
the structure, then the station data is updated, other wise
the new station data is added.
The last computed station and offset will be reported in
the structure information and full structure labels.

The set current alignment dialog will appear to verify the
alignment to work with.

The first prompt asks for the structures you wish to
compute.  If you do not select any AutoWorks structures,
you will be informed of such.

Prompt->  Select structures to calculate :

The last prompt allows to exit the routine or continue
moving structures.  The default is to exit.  Only the C
character will allow you to continue.  You may exit by
simply pressing the space bar.

Prompt->  Do you wish to continue <Y> :


When labeling plan structures with full structure
labels, the current alignment is used to report the station
and offset for that structure, because each structure can
store five different alignment station and offset values.

When automatically updating structure labels the
last computed station and offset values will be shown in
the label.  If the station data is not what the label should
report, then recompute the structures station for the
correct alignment.  This last computed station will then
be reflected in any subsequent automatic label updates.

Description:

This function assists the user in locating a structure by ID
by marking the structure location with an "X" or by
zooming with the structure location as the center and also
marking the location with an "X".

The first prompt asked to locate structure by <Z>oom or
<M> ark.  The default is M.

The second prompt asks for the structure ID to locate.  If
the structure ID is valid the location is marked with an
"X".


\Structures menu 2: Move->By Pnt

All required structure data is automatically updated to
reflect the new coordinates.  

The first prompt asks for the structure you wish to move. 
If you do not select an AutoWorks structure, you will be
informed of such.

Prompt->  Select structure to move :

The next prompt is for the new structure location.  Any
valid point including osnaps are valid, if the point is not
valid you will be informed of such.

Prompt->  Pick new Structure point :

The last prompt allows to exit the routine or continue
moving structures.  The default is to Yes.  Only the Yes
will allow you to continue.  You may exit by simply
picking No from the screen menu.

Prompt->  Do you wish to continue <Y> :

Note:  This AutoWORKS command is not the same as
the AutoCAD move command. All station data stored in
the structure will be erased since those values will no

\Structures menu 2: Move->By Sta
Structures menu 2: Move->By Sta


Description:

This function allows you to move a structure to a new
location.  This new location is a station and offset which
you enter.  The new location is computed based on the
current alignment definition.  The structure is
automatically rotated perpendicular to the alignment.  All
required structure data is automatically updated to reflect
the new coordinates and station and offset.  

The first prompt asks for the structure you wish to move. 
If you do not select an AutoWorks structure, you will be
informed of such.  The structure may be selected by
window, crossing or picking.  Only the first structure
found will be moved.

Prompt->  Select structure to move :

The next prompt is for the new structure station.  Any
valid station along the current alignment may be entered,
if the station is not valid you will be informed of such.
An error message will appear if you enter a negative
station or a station that exceeds the current alignment. 

Prompt->  Enter new Structure station :

The next prompt asks for the new offset or number of
feet left or right of the current alignment.  Negative
values indicate feet left and positive values indicate feet
to the right of the alignment.


Promp->  Enter new structure offset :

The last prompt allows to exit the routine or continue
moving structures.  The default is to Yes.  Only the Yes
will allow you to continue.  You may exit by simply

This function will delete user selected structures from the
drawing AND the AutoWorks project database file. 
Deleting a structure is PERMANENT.  User may select
structures to delete by window, crossing or picking.

It is important to note that using the AutoCAD "erase"
command will NOT delete the structure from the project
data base file.  Selecting "Update" from the
Import/Export menu will recreate the "erased" structure
automatically.


\Structure menu 2: Fl. Struc
Structure menu 2: Fl. Struc


Description:

This is a toggle that will allow you to change a
structure from a catch basin to Manhole or Cleanout. 
This function preserves the existing or proposed status of
the structures.  If switching between a manhole and a
catch basin, you will need to ensure that the "catch"
(affects bottom elev) depth is correct.  If switching from
a catch basin to manhole, the bottom elevation will
automatically be set to the lowest invert.


\Pipes menu 1: Set Base
Pipes menu 1: Set Base


Description:

This function allows the user to set the starting PID.  The
PID can have a maximum of 15 characters, and may have
any alpha-numeric prefix.  This sets the PID for
sequential PID usage.


Example:

PID Prefix:  SSP
PID starting number: 1
Next sequential PID: SSP1
Next PID sequence: SSP2, SSP3, ...


\Pipes menu 1: Set PIDs
Pipes menu 1: Set PIDs


Description:

This menu selection allows you to define the pipe ID's
for a sequence of pipes or for single pipes.  If you select
a sequence of pipes, there are certain criteria that must be
met.  If there is already an out pipe assigned to the
structure, then you will be prompted to replace that
existing PID with the new one.  A prompt will ask if you
want pipes drawn now.  By pressing return or entering
"Y", a pipe with label text will be drawn as the PIDs are
set.
                              
Consider the above sketch.  If all the catch basins have
just been placed into the drawing and you now want to
define pipe ID's to connect them, you could use the
SEQUENTIAL option to define a pipe run from cb1 to
cb5 and from cb6 to cb9.  To connect cb9 to cb3 you
must define a non sequential pipe id because cb3 already
has a pipe entering it (when you defined the run from cb2
to cb3).  For that matter, there is
already a pipe leaving it (to cb4), but that really doesn't
count.

It is necessary for you to use the non sequential option
and assign the pipe from cb9 to cb3.  The connection
pipe is pipe number 2 of the four allowable inflow pipes. 
Pipe number one of the four allowable inflow pipes is
already defined as the inflow pipe from cb2.

Basically this feature will request that you specify a one
or two character descriptor such as "P" or "AA".  Then
you will be asked to specify the starting number in the
pipe sequence, like 5.  These two will yield a pipe id of
"P5" as
the starting pipe ID and "P6" as the next, etc.

Each structure can have a maximum of five pipes
connected to it.  If you look at the structure information,
the first pipe is reserved for the outflow pipe.  The
remaining four (numbered 1 through 4) are reserved for
inflow pipes.  This feature takes a simplistic approach to
pipe labeling.  The FROM STRUCTURE will have the id
specified placed in the outflow pipe location.  The TO
STRUCTURE will have the
pipe id placed in the next available position of the four
possible inflow pipe positions.

In the case of the connection between cb9 and cb3,
position 1 was already occupied, therefore you could not
use sequential pipe labeling, you must use non sequential
labeling and manually specify that the inflow pipe to cb3
is assigned to position 2 of cb3.


\Pipes menu 1: Auto
Pipes menu 1: Auto


Description:

This function automatically draws and labels all the pipes
in a project.  You must always set the current project
prior to running this routine.  You must also have an up
to date, existing project file.  If there is no project file
you will be informed of such.

This routine will update any existing pipes and pipe text,
only if the text was placed by an AutoWorks routine. 
This function WILL NEVER erase pipes or pipe label
text ONLY update existing or create new pipes if not
found in drawing.

The pipes are drawn from the project data file, any
matching pipe ids between any two structures will be
drawn and labeled.  For pipe description determination
see chapter 1, 'DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS' of this manual.
Make sure your pipe ids are unique for each pipe, to avoid
duplicated or incorrect entity creation.  The function, Set
PIDs is provided to assist you to properly layout pipes.


\Pipes menu 1: Manual
Pipes menu 1: Manual


Description:

This function draws and automatically labels pipes
between two AutoWorks structures.  If no matching pipe
ids are found, you are informed of such.  If you have
multiple pipe IDs that duplicate each other only the first
two matching pipe ids will be used to draw the pipe.  For
pipe description determination see chapter 1, 'DESIGN
CONSIDERATIONS', on page 8 of this manual.

You may only select two AutoWorks structures at a time,
if you select more, they will be ignored.  Structures may
be selected by window, crossing or picking.


\Pipes menu 1: Pipe Edit
Pipes menu 1: Pipe Edit


Description:

This function allows the user to edit general and design
information for a selected pipe.  This pipe can be selected
by window, crossing or picking, however only the first
valid pipe found will be reported.


Dialog Field   Description

Pipe ID        14 character pipe ID
Diameter       Pipe diameter in inches
Length         Pipe length in feet (display only)
Manning        Manning coefficient for the pipe
Pipe slope     Pipe slope in percent
Start Elev     Upper pipe invert elevation
End Elev       Lower pipe invert elevation

Network ID     Pipe network ID (display only)
Flow           Pipe flow in cps (cubic feet per second)
               (display only)
N Velocity     Pipe normal velocity in fps (feet per
               second) (display only)
N Depth        Pipe normal depth of flow in feet
               (display only)
Up Struct      Upper structure ID, relates to Start Elev
Dwn Struct     Lower structure ID, relates to End Elev
               (display only)

The pipe information that may be changed is the pipe ID,
diameter, Manning value, pipe slope, upper elevation, and
the lower elevation.  The current values for this
information is always shown in the dialog field.  This
function will automatically update both the upper and
lower structure invert data and the pipe itself with the
new values.

If the function can not locate valid structure data, an error
message will report such and consult the user to run
AutoPipes.  Running AutoPipes will re-synchronize the
pipe and structure data so the pipe may be edited.


\Pipes menu 1: Edit PID (Pipe IDentification)
Pipes menu 1: Edit PID (Pipe IDentification)

Description:

This function allows the user to edit the five PIDs for a
selected structure.  This structure may be selected by
window, crossing or picking.

The first prompt asks the user which invert number to
edit the PID.  Invert #0 is always the invert OUT, inverts
#1-4 are the invert ins.

The next prompt asks the user to enter a new PID.  The
current PID reported and is the default value.  This
function checks to insure that the new PID is unique to
that structure prior to accepting the change.  If the PID is
not unique, the user will be informed of such and
prompted until a unique PID is entered.  Changes to the
PID are recorded automatically in the project data base
file and in the structure block being edited.

\Pipes menu 2: Lbl Form
Pipes menu 2: Lbl Form

This menu selection changes the format for pipe labels.  The four 
parts (length, diameter, description and slope) of the pipe label 
may be turned off or on.   Prefix and suffix text associated with 
each label part may also be changed or erased.  The label format
will affect the next pipe command that updates or creates pipe labels.

Dialog Field        Description

Pipe text***
Length         An "X" places length text in the label
Diameter       An "X" places pipe diameter text in the label
Description    An "X" places pipe descriptive text in the label
Slope          An "X" places the pipe slope text (as %) in the label

Prefix***
Length         Text to appear before the pipe length in the label
Diameter       Text to appear before the pipe diameter in the label
Description    Text to appear before the pipe description in the label
Slope          Text to appear before the pipe slope in the label

Suffix***
Length         Text to appear after the pipe length in the label
Diameter       Text to appear after the pipe diameter in the label
Description    Text to appear after the pipe description in the label
Slope          Text to appear after the pipe slope in the label

Pipe ID Only   An "X" will force the pipe labels to include just
               the pipe ID.


Example:

Given a 100 foot, 12 inch PVC pipe at a slope of 2% the pipe label 
will appear as:

     100 LF-12" PVC @ 2.00%

Spaces in any prefix or suffix will appear in the label.  Notice 
the space in " LF" shown in the length suffix.  This space forces
a blank space between the length dimension and the text "LF".


\Pipes menu 2: pArrows
Pipes menu 2: pArrows


Description:

This menu selection allows the user to place pipe flow
direction arrows on all subsequently drawn pipes.  If pipe
direction arrows is enabled, then pipe direction arrows
will be placed on ALL NEWLY CREATED PIPES with
VALID SLOPES.

If a pipe already exists in the drawing, a pipe direction
arrow will not be placed on it.  Pipe direction arrows will
be placed during the AutoPipes function and the Manual
Pipes function for newly created pipes only.

This is a toggle type of menu selection.  If the current
setting for pipe direction arrows is enabled, the next time
this menu selection is made, pipe direction arrows will be
disabled.


\Pipes menu 2: Sol/Empt
Pipes menu 2: Sol/Empt


Description:

This menu selection allows the user to choose the type of
pipe direction flow arrow to use.  The default is Solid
arrows, this can be toggled with this function to be
Empty or non-filled arrows.

This is a toggle type of menu selection.  If the current
setting for Solid pipe direction arrows is enabled, the next
time this menu selection is made, Empty pipe direction
arrows will be enabled.


\Pipes menu 2: Erase P
Pipes menu 2: Erase P


Description:

This menu selection allows the user to erase AutoWorks
pipes, pipe label text and pipe flow direction arrows
selectively by window, crossing or picking.  This function
uses the current Autoworks layer names to identify pipes,
pipe label text and pipe direction arrows.


\Pipes menu 2: Chg PWid
Pipes menu 2: Chg PWid


Description:

This menu selection allows you to change all the pipe
widths on a particular layer.  You are first prompted for
the new pipe width, with the default being 1.0.  The next
prompt allows you to pick the layer by picking a pipe on
that layer.

For those not familiar with "ghosting" concept.  The
ability to change all the line widths on a layer is typically
used to make another layer stand out when plotting.  Say
you need to plot the sanitary sewer layer but also want to
show the storm sewer.  Just make the line weight for the
storm layer very small.  It will then show up on the plot,
but not command the same level of attention as the
sanitary sewer line.


\Pipes menu 2: PipeCalc
Pipes menu 2: PipeCalc


Description:

This menu selection starts the pipe calculator.  The pipe
calculator is based on Mannings open channel flow formula. 
Three of four variables are used to compute the fourth.  The four
variables are diameter, manning 'n' value, slope and full flow.

The toggle in the "Variable" column determines the variable that
will be computed when the ">> Compute <<" button is picked. 
Any invalid or missing data will typically produce zero results.

When the diameter is computed, additional design data is also
computed.  This additional information iincludes the pipe full
velocity, normal depth of flow, actual flow, and actual velocity.


\Alignment menu: Current
Alignment menu: Current


Description:

This menu selection allows you to set the current
alignment name.  This alignment name is used to define
alignments and to set structures by alignment.  The
current alignment name is shown as the default.  In a new
drawing the default alignment name is the drawing name. 
This alignment name must be eight characters or less as it
is used as a DOS file name.  The drive and path for the
file is optional.


The user may choose the "PICK" option from the
dialog.  This allows the user to select the alignment to set
current, by picking a segment of the actual alignment.  If
the file already exists, a second AutoCAD dialog will
appear asking if it is okay to replace the file.  The normal
response is yes, and the file contents WILL NOT be
over-written.


\Alignment menu: Entities
Alignment menu: Entities


Description:

This menu selection allows you to define an
alignment based on lines and arcs.  This is typically a
road centerline.  The alignment name is used to create the
alignment data file and must be eight characters or less,
with no extension, the extension .ALN is assumed.  The
current alignment name is the default.  

The user may choose the "PICK" option from the
dialog.  This allows the user to select the alignment to set
current, by picking a segment of the actual alignment.  If
the file already exists, a second AutoCAD dialog will
appear asking if it is okay to replace the file.  The normal
response is yes, and the file contents WILL NOT be
over-written.

You will be prompted to select the lines and arcs
you wish to define this alignment.  You must pick these
entities in sequential order, that is from the lowest station
to the greatest station value.  If you do not pick these
entities in order you will not get proper structure
placement.  The starting point prompt is used to define
the beginning station point for this alignment.


\Alignment menu: Polyline
Alignment menu: Polyline


Description:

This menu selection allows you to define an
alignment based on polylines.  This is typically a road
centerline.  The alignment name is used to create the
alignment data file and must be eight characters or less,
with no extension, the extension .ALN is assumed.  The
current alignment name is the default.  

The user may choose the "PICK" option from the
dialog.  This allows the user to select the alignment to set
current, by picking a segment of the actual alignment.  If
the file already exists, a second AutoCAD dialog will
appear asking if it is okay to replace the file.  The normal
response is yes, and the file contents WILL NOT be
over-written.

You will be prompted to select the polyline you
wish to define for this alignment.  You must create this
polyline in sequential order, that is from the lowest
station to the greatest station value.  If you do not create
this polyline in order you will not get proper structure
placement.  The starting point prompt is used to define
the beginning station point for this alignment.


\Alignment menu: List
Alignment menu: List


Description:

This menu selection allows you to list the alignment files
you currently have defined in your current working
directory.  This list is NOT project specific, but will list
any and all alignment files in the current working
directory.

\Labels menu: Full
Labels menu: Full


Description:

This menu selection allows full structure labels for
AutoWorks structures.  Structures to be labels may be
selected by window, crossing or picking.

The first prompt is to select the structures to label.  The
next prompt is for the label insertion point and rotation
angle for each structure selected.  Non-zero invert
elevations will automatically be inserted into the label. 
The label is automatically inserted on the layer determined
by the structure type selected.  The label will be 
formatted according to the label format file "autowks.lab".
For more information on customizing the structure label
format see chapter 3 "Customizing AutoWorks".

AutoWorks assumes that the station and offset are both
current and known.  If you use the AutoCAD move
command on a structure, the station and offset will
probably be incorrect.  (if you use the AutoWorks move
command, it will be set to zero.)  labeling by coordinates
is always available.


\Labels menu: Man-Bubl
Labels menu: Man-Bubl



Description:

This menu selection labels  AutoWorks structures with a
simple bubble style label.  The structure ID is the only
information visible in this label. 

The first prompt is to select the structure to label.  The
next prompt is for the label insertion point and rotation
angle.The label is automatically placed on the layer
determined by the structure selected.  A leader and arrow
will be automatically oriented and drawn on the correct
layer.


\Labels menu: AUTOBUB
Labels menu: AUTOBUB


Description:

This menu selection labels  AutoWorks structures with a
simple bubble style label.  The structure ID is the only
information visible in this label.

The angle screen menu will first appear and it offers four
choices for the label angle from each structure.  The
choices are 45ø, 135ø, 225ø and 315ø.  All labels inserted
will all have the same angle from its associated structure.

The first prompt is for the distance, in the current
AutoCAD units, each label should be placed from its
associated structure.  The default is 75 units or feet.
The next prompt is to select the structures to label.
The structures may be selected by window, crossing or
picking.  The label is automatically placed on the layer
determined by the structure selected.  The labels are
inserted the distance entered in the first prompt, and
not rotated.  A leader and arrow will be automatically
oriented and drawn on the correct layer.


\Labels menu: Erase
Labels menu: Erase


Description:

This menu selection allows the user to selectively erase
AutoWorks structure labels, leaders and leader arrows by
window, crossing or picking.  This function uses the
current Autoworks layer names to identify structure
labels, leaders and leader arrows.  This function works
for full and bubble labels.


\Labels menu: Update
Labels menu: Update


Description:

This menu selection will automatically update the data in
the AutoWorks full structure labels that exist in the
drawing.  Any changes to the structure and/or pipe design
information and/or label format changes will be reflected
in the full labels.  For more information about
customizing the structure label format, see chapter 3
"Customizing AutoWorks".


\Labels menu: Export
Labels menu: Export


Description:

This function will export the data base handles for all full
structure labels in a drawing.  This will re-synchronize
the drawing and AutoWorks project data base file.  If the
label handles differ between the data base file and the
drawing, un-expected results may occur.


\Import/Export menu: Export
Import/Export menu: Export


Description:

This is one of two primary routines that directly link
AutoWorks drawing data to WaterWorks and CIA, with
the other being the UPDATE routine.  This routine
exports ALL AutoWorks structures present in a drawing
to a the project data file defined by
<project name>.edb.  Storm and sewer structures are
exported in the same file.

This routine functions as the fundamental structure
coordinate link between the drawing and WaterWorks or
CIA.  This function is most useful when structure
LOCATIONS have changed in the drawing by non-
AutoWorks functions.  The AutoCAD "move", "elevate",
and other third party functions that assign elevations to
AutoWorks structure blocks are examples.

AutoWorks will look for a file named <project
name.EDB> to update the drawing.


\Import/Export menu: Update
Import/Export menu: Update


Description:

This menu selection automatically updates the AutoWorks
structures that were exported to or created in WaterWorks
or CIA.  If the structures were exported from the
drawing, they will be updated, if they were created in
WaterWorks, they will be created in the drawing.

Any structure or pipe information that was changed in
WaterWorks or CIA, including coordinates and
elevations, will be reflected in the drawing.  This is the
second fundamental link to WaterWorks and CIA.  This
routine will automatically re-export the data if any
structures are created, to insure the AutoCAD entity
handle information associated with each structure is up to
date.

AutoWorks will look for a file named <project
name.EDB> to update the drawing.


\Import/Export menu: WaterWorks
Import/Export menu: WaterWorks


Description:

Selection of this menu item will "shell" out of AutoCAD
and start WaterWorks.  ESIPATH must be set prior to
starting AutoCAD.  Because the starting directory is the
AutoCAD drawing directory, use the WaterWorks ChDir
menu command to specify the directory that the project
data files are located.  WaterWorks will automatically
return to the AutoCAD drawing directory when finished.

Since WaterWorks is such a large program, we suggest
that AutoCAD is initiated by using the "SHROOM.COM"
utility.  SHROOM is provided by AutoDesk  under a
license agreement between the author and AutoDesk.

It is also available through CompuServe.  The best places
to look for it are IBMSYS lib 3, TAPCIS lib 2 or
PCVENB lib 10 (4DOS).  No warranty is made as to the
correctness or reliability of this software, and the author
disclaims any liability for damages which may arise from
its use or misuse.  The version available through the
CompuServe forum seems to provide more room and has
fewer bugs.  For your convenience, SHROOM can be placed
in your installation directory by installing LEGEND.


\Import/Export menu: CIA
Import/Export menu: CIA


Description:

Selection of this menu item will shell out of AutoCAD
and start CIA.  ESIPATH must be set prior to starting
AutoCAD.  Because the starting directory is the
AutoCAD drawing directory, use the CIA "ChDir" menu
command to specify the directory that the project data
files are located.  CIA will automatically return to the
AutoCAD drawing directory when finished.


\Networks menu: Define
Networks menu: Define


Description:

This function allows pipe networks to be defined in the
AutoCAD drawing by selecting AutoWorks pipes.  This
network definition will be available in WaterWorks or
CIA.

Clean pipe runs should be defined with this function, that
is sequential pipe runs from the highest elevation to the
lowest elevation. These pipe networks can be edited to 
tie individual pipe runs together in WaterWorks or CIA.

The first prompt is for the pipe network ID.  This ID can
be up to 15 alpha-numeric characters.

The next prompt asks to select the pipes for this network
definition.  Pipes can be selected by window, crossing or
picking.  Only one pipe will be accepted for each prompt. 
Up to 30 pipes may be included in each network definition.
Selecting a pipe that already exists in this network will
result in a error prompt.  A single pipe may only appear
in a network ONCE.  This prompt will report the network 
pipe number as pipes are selected.


\Networks menu: List Net
Networks menu: List Net


Description:

This function lists all pipe networks defined in the current
AutoCAD drawing.  All the networks defined in the
current drawing will be listed in the command area of the
screen.


\Networks menu: PID List
Networks menu: PID List


Description:

This function lists all PIDs for a pipe network that was
defined in the current AutoCAD drawing.

The first prompt asks for the pipe network to list.  The
network ID may be entered on the command line or a
pipe known to be in that network may be selected by
window, crossing or picking.  All the pipe IDs for that
network will appear in the command area of the screen.


\Networks menu: Del Net
Networks menu: Del Net


Description:

This function deletes a pipe network that was defined in
the current AutoCAD drawing.  this network ID is
deleted from the drawing and from the project data base
file.

The first prompt asks for the pipe network to delete.
The network ID may be entered on the command line or a
pipe known to be in that network may be selected by
window, crossing or picking.

This function does not delete the network ID from the
pipe information function and should be disregarded if
deleted.  This function will not automatically delete the
network ID from the WaterWorks or CIA project data
base files.


\Contributing Areas menu: Define
Contributing Areas menu: Define


Description:

This function allows up to five subBasins for each
contributing areas defined in the AutoCAD drawing by
selecting pre-existing closed polylines representing the
contributing area subBasins for a given structure.  Only
storm structures may be selected for use in this function.
 
The contributing area definition will be available in
WaterWorks or CIA.  These contributing areas can be
edited in WaterWorks or CIA.  Consult the WaterWorks
or CIA Users Manual for more information about how
contributing areas are used in storm water run-off
calculations.

The first prompt is for the contributing area ID.  This ID
can be up to 15 alpha-numeric characters.

The next prompt asks for the storm structure associated
with this contributing area.  Only one storm structure is
accepted by this prompt, which can be selected by
window, crossing or picking.  This structure is the
collection point for the run-off from this contributing
area.

The next prompt asks to select up to five closed polylines
(subBasins) for this contributing area definition.  Each
polyline can be selected by window, crossing or picking. 
Only one polyline will be accepted for each subBasin.
AutoWorks does not check anything about the selected
polyline, except that it is a polyline.  It is up to the user
to define the shape and location for this polyline. 
AutoWorks will compute and report the contributing area
in square feet, but stores this data as acres for use in
WaterWorks and CIA calculations.  A prompt for a 30
character description for each selected polyline will
appear.  Consult the WaterWorks or CIA Users Manual
for more information about contributing areas.


\Contributing Areas menu: Def TC
Contributing Areas menu: Def TC


Description:

This function allows up to five time of concentration
lengths for each contributing area ID to be defined in the
AutoCAD drawing by selecting pre-existing polylines
representing a contributing area time of concentration
length for a given structure.  Only storm structures may
be selected for use in this function.
 
The contributing area definition will be available in
WaterWorks or CIA.  These contributing areas can be
edited in WaterWorks or CIA.  Consult the WaterWorks
or CIA Users Manual for more information about how
contributing areas are used in storm water run-off
calculations.

The first prompt is for the contributing area ID.  This ID
can be up to 15 alpha-numeric characters.

The next prompt asks for the storm structure associated
with this contributing area.  Only one storm structure is
accepted by this prompt, which can be selected by
window, crossing or picking.  This structure is the
collection point for the run-off from this contributing
area.

The next prompt asks to select up to five polylines (time
of concentration lengths) for this contributing area
definition.  Each polyline can be selected by window,
crossing or picking.  Only one polyline will be accepted
for each time of concentration length. AutoWorks does
not check anything about the selected polyline, except
that it is a polyline.  It is up to the user to define the
shape and location for this polyline.  AutoWorks will
compute and report the length feet, and stores this data
for use in WaterWorks and CIA calculations.

Consult the Water Works or CIA Users Manual for more
information about contributing areas.

\Utilities menu: Profile
Utilities menu: Profile


Description:

This menu selection exports AutoWorks structure data to
a file that can be read by SoftDesks 'Profile by Data File'
routine.  

The file name is the first prompt, enter this with no
extension - the extension .DCA is assumed.  

The next prompt is for storm or sewer profile data.  Since
the file format is slightly different in SoftDesks routines,
you must export storm data to a separate file from the
sewer data. 

The last prompt is to select structures to export.  The
structures should be selected in the order they are to
appear in the Sofdesk profile.  The structures must
contain station and offset data, this is how Softdesks
routine places the structures in the profile.

This command will convert an AutoWorks 1.5A project
to this 2.0 version.

This function will convert data found in the 1.5A
structure blocks and create a <project name.EDB> file.  It
will also redefine the structure block definitions in the
current drawing, since AutoWorks 2.0 has NO attributes
in structure blocks.  New 2.0 structure blocks will be
created in the drawing to replace the old 1.5A blocks.

Overall drawing size contributions from AutoWorks
structure blocks will be REDUCED by 75%-85%.

THIS COMMAND SHOULD ONLY BE EXECUTED
ONCE FOR EACH 1.5A PROJECT DRAWING. 
PROGRAM LOCK-UP MAY OCCUR IF THIS
COMMAND IS EXECUTED IN A 2.0 or 2.5
DRAWING.

characters and the associated color number must be
between 0 and 256.


\Profile Setup menu: Structs
Profile Setup menu: Structs


Description:

This function defines the shape, width, outline thickness
and hatch pattern fill for profile structures.  This function
will affect all subsequently drawn profile structures.  


Dialog Field   Description

Type           This character string is the type of
               structure.  For each type of structure
               there is a separate existing and proposed
               definition. The types are storm catchbasin,
               storm manhole, sewer cleanout, sewer 
               manhole, storm dummy, and sewer dummy. 

Shape          This character string field defines the
               shape of the profile structure.  Options
               are RECTangle, CONE, or NONE.  The NONE
               option will not draw that type of structure
               in the profile.

Width          This numerical value determines how wide the
               structure will be when drawn.  For all shapes
               this defines how wide the bottom of the 
               structure will be.  This value is multiplied
               by the profiles horizontal scale.  For example
               a width of 0.0750 and a horizontal scale of 50,
               the structure width will be (0.075 * 50) or
               3.75 feet wide.

Line width     This numerical value determines the line
               thickness of each structure.  A value of
               0 will result in lines with no thickness.
               Any other value will be multiplied by the
               horizontal scale to determine the line
               thickness for that structure.  This feature
               is useful for drawing proposed structures
               bolder than existing structures.

Hatch Pattern  This character string defines a hatch pattern
               associated with a structure type.  Any valid
               hatch pattern name may be entered here. 
               Any structures that are drawn in the profile
               will be automatically hatched with this pattern.

Hatch Scale    This numerical value determines the hatch
               pattern scale for the associated hatch pattern.
               This value is multiplied by the horizontal
               scale to determine the final scale value.  A
               scale value of 1.0 will produce a hatch pattern
               with a scale factor equal to the horizontal scale.

A few helpful hints for defining structure shapes:

     - Remember that all numerical values are multiplied by
       the DIMSCALE
     - Make sure that the hatch pattern name exists in the
       'ACAD.PAT' file


\Profile Setup menu: Options
Profile Setup menu: Options


Description:

This function defines where profile pipe text labels will
appear relative to the upper pipe line.  This function will
affect all subsequently drawn profiles. 


Dialog Field        Description

System to draw      Two toggles Storm and Sewer define
                    what type of system will appear in
                    profiles.  An "X" in each toggle box
                    means that system will be drawn.  If
                    neither box is on, then nothing will
                    appear in the profile. Both systems will
                    be drawn if both toggles are on.  

Draw left side      A toggle to draw structures and pipes
                    on the left side of the profile 
                    alignment.  An "X" in the box means
                    these structures will be drawn.

Draw right side     A toggle to draw structures and pipes
                    on the right side of the profile
                    alignment.  An "X" in the box means
                    these structures will be drawn.

Place pipe text     Determines where pipe label text will
                    be placed relative to the upper 
                    profile pipe line.  The "Above" option
                    will place the label above the line.
                    The "Below" option will place the label
                    below the line.  The "Split" option will
                    place the pipe length and diameter above
                    the line and the pipe description and
                    slope below the line.

Horizontal          This numerical value is multiplied by the
structure           profile horizontal scale to determine how 
label               far up the horizontal label insertion point is    
offset              from the structure rim.      
factor                    

Vertical            This numerical value is multiplied by the           
structure           profile horizontal scale to determine how
label               far up the vertical label insertion point is
offset factor       from the structure rim.  
                              

Pipe text label     This numerical value is multiplied by the
offset factor       profile horizontal scale to determine how
                    far the pipe text label is from the upper
                    pipe line.
           

\Profile menu: Define
Profile menu: Define


Description:

This function creates or re-defines a profile ID.  Profiles
have an ID just as structures and pipes do.  If an existing
profile ID is entered, the setup for that profile can be
changed.  All required profile information is prompted
for, with defaults set to existing values.  The profile
definition will determine which structures and pipes to
draw based on the alignment name assigned to the
profile.

If the profile ID is new, then a prompt for the profile
origin point appears.  This point defines the starting
elevation and station point in the profile.  A profile node
is then inserted at the selected point on the profile axis
layer.  This node enables AutoWorks to locate the profile
origin if it has been moved.

If the profile ID exists, the location of its node (if it still
exists in the current drawing) will always take precedence
over the externally stored profile origin.  This node can
be selected to identify a profile ID for any profile ID
"pick" prompt.


Dialog Field        Description

Alignment           The current alignment name for the
                    profile.

Set Alignment       Changes the current alignment name. 
                    The alignment name should include
                    the full drive and path if the 
                    alignment file is not in the current
                    working directory.  The alignment
                    name may also be set by picking an
                    alignment entity such as a line, arc
                    or polyline.  The eight character
                    alignment file name will be used to
                    identify structures to draw in the profile.

Profile ID          This is a 14 character, alpha-numeric
                    ID and is case sensitive (for
                    example "P" is not the same as "p")
                    which identifies the profile.

Set Profile ID      Changes the current profile name.  A
                    dialog box appears that allows the new
                    profile ID to be typed, selected from 
                    existing profile IDs, or picked from a
                    profile entity in the drawing.

Horizontal scale    This numerical value is the profile
                    horizontal scale.  This scale is used
                    as the scale factor for structure labels
                    and profile structure shape options such
                    as bottom width, line width, and hatch
                    pattern scaling.  If the profile exists
                    the default is the current value.  If
                    the profile is new, the default will
                    be the current DIMSCALE variable 
                    setting.

Vertical scale      This numerical value is the profile 
                    vertical scale.  This scale is used 
                    as a scale factor to draw the vertical
                    portion of the grid and to determine
                    proper structure elevations on the
                    profile.  If the profile exists the 
                    default is the current value.  If the
                    profile is new, the default will be
                    the one tenth (1/10) of the horizontal
                    scale setting.  This would represent a
                    vertical profile exaggeration ratio of
                    10:1 (horizontal to vertical).

Start Station       This numerical value defines the
                    beginning station for the profile.
                    If the profile exists the default
                    is the current value.  If the
                    profile is new, the default is the
                    starting station of the alignment
                    associated with this profile. 
                    AutoWorks will not accept a profile
                    starting station that is less than
                    the starting station of the alignment
                    or a negative value.  If the alignment
                    file was not found or an error occurred
                    while reading it, the default will be
                    zero.

End Station         This numerical value is the ending
                    station for the profile.  If the
                    profile exists the default is the
                    current value.  If the profile is new,
                    the default is the ending or maximum
                    station of the alignment associated
                    with this profile.  AutoWorks will not
                    accept a end station that is less than
                    or equal to the starting station or a
                    negative value. If the alignment file
                    was not found or an error occurred 
                    while reading it, the default will be
                    zero.

Base Elev           This numerical value determines the
                    minimum elevation for the profile.  If
                    the profile exists the default is the
                    current value.  If the profile is new,
                    the default is the lowest bottom
                    elevation of all the structures in the
                    profile.

Maximum Elev        This numerical value determines the
                    maximum elevation for the profile. 
                    If the profile exists the default is
                    the current value.  If the profile is
                    new, the default is the highest rim
                    elevation of all the structures in the
                    profile.  AutoWorks will not accept a
                    value that is lower than or equal to  
                    the profile base elevation.

Horizontal label spacing (in feet) This is the number of
                                   feet between each grid
                                   line that has a station
                                   text label.  If the
                                   profile already exists,
                                   then the default is the
                                   current value.  If the
                                   profile is new the
                                   default is 50, which
                                   will draw a grid line
                                   and station label every
                                   50 feet.  This value must
                                   be greater than zero.

Minor horizontal spacing      This is the number of feet
                              between each minor horizontal
                              grid line.  If the profile
                              already exists, then the 
                              default is the current value.
                              If the profileis new the
                              default is 25, which will
                              place a minor grid line every
                              25 feet.  These minor grid
                              lines will not overlap or
                              duplicate a major grid line.
                              No minor grid lines will be
                              drawn if the value entered
                              is zero.

Vertical label spacing (in feet)   This is the number of
                                   feet between each grid
                                   line that has an
                                   elevation text label.
                                   If the profile already
                                   exists, then the 
                                   default is the current
                                   value.  If the profile
                                   is new the default is 
                                   10, which will draw a
                                   grid line and elevation
                                   label every 10 feet. 
                                   This value must be 
                                   greater than zero.

Minor vertical spacing  (in feet)  This is the number of
                                   feet between each minor
                                   vertical grid line.  If
                                   the profile already 
                                   exists, then the default
                                   is the current value.
                                   If the profile is new 
                                   the default is 2, which
                                   will place a minor grid
                                   line every 2 feet. These
                                   minor grid lines will
                                   not overlap or duplicate
                                   a major grid line.  No
                                   minor grid lines will
                                   be drawn if the value
                                   entered is zero.
                                   
Draw Profile Grid   This toggle enables/disables the drawing
                    of the profile axis and grid. An "X" in 
                    the box is enabled.

Profile Options     This button displays the profile options
                    dialog and allows the user to change
                    profile generation


\Profile menu: Auto
Profile menu: Auto


Description:

This function automatically draws the current profile
which includes structures, structure labels, pipes, pipe
labels, and HGL data.

The structures and pipes that are between the starting and
ending station for the profile will be drawn.  Pipes that
continue off the profile grid in either direction are
truncated at the grid boundary.  The HGL profile line and
text will be drawn only if that design data is defined.

The current text height is used for the station and
elevation text labels.  If the current text height is zero, a
prompt will appear for the text height to use for this
function.


\Profile menu: Draw Grid
Profile menu: Draw Grid


Description:

This function draws and labels the currently defined
profile axis and grid.  All axis and grid entities are
automatically placed on the correct profile layer.  If the
grid already exists, it will be duplicated.  The current text
height is used for the station and elevation text labels.
If the current text height is zero, a prompt will appear for
the text height to use for this function.


\Profile menu: Erase
Profile menu: Erase


Description:

This function erases all profile structures, structure 
labels, pipes, pipe text and HGL information selectively
from the area specified by the user.  This function will
not erase the profile axis or grid.

This function provides a fast way of erasing, then re-
drawing a profile to update profile information.  Since
HGL data is not generally used for final plan/profile
sheets, the HGL layer may be frozen or turned off.  In
order to insure all profile data is erased, the HGL layer
should be turned on or thawed prior to using this
function.


\Profile Labels menu: Structs
Profile Labels menu: Structs


Description:

This function inserts a full structure label for each profile
structure selected.  For each selected structures the user
will be prompted for the leader start point, label insertion
point and label rotation angle.  A rubber band line will
appear from the top of each structure to identify the
structure currently being labeled.  The leader, leader
arrow and structure label will be placed on the correct
corresponding profile layer.

The current horizontal scale (or DIMSCALE value) will
be used scale the labels.


\Profile Labels menu: Pipes
Profile Labels menu: Pipes


Description:

This function will insert pipe label text for each selected
profile pipe.  The user is prompted to place the labels
above, below or split the text.  Splitting the text will
place the pipe length and diameter above the line and the
pipe description and slope below the line.

This function will accept a group of pipes to label and
filter out non-pipe entities automatically.  Since each
profile pipe has two lines, only one line should be
selected for each pipe, other wise two pipe labels will
appear for each pipe.


\Profile Labels menu: EraseTxt
Profile Labels menu: EraseTxt


Description:

This function will erase all selected profile text.  The 
user selected profile entities will be automatically 
filtered so that only text type data is erased.  Profile
text includes all data on profile text layers such as 
structure labels, leaders, and pipe text.  This function
will not erase any HGL information.


\Profile menu 2: PROFID?
Profile menu 2: PROFID?


Description:

This function will report the profile ID associated with
the user selected profile entity.  The selection set will
accept a group of entities and filter out non-profile
entities automatically.


\Profile menu 2: Delete
Profile menu 2: Delete


Description:

This function will delete the user selected profile ID
definition from the drawing AND the AutoWorks project
database file.  Deleting a profile definition is
PERMANENT.

It is important to note that using the AutoCAD "erase"
command will NOT delete the profile ID definition from
the project data base file.


\Profile menu 2: PipeInfo
Profile menu 2: PipeInfo


Description:

This function will report pipe data for the selected 
profile pipe.  This function will accept a group of 
pipes and filter out non-pipe entities
automatically.
