INTRODUCTION:
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
(W)eld (I)nsertion (M)enu is an AutoCAD Icon Menu based approach to the
construction of a complete weld symbol for your weld fabrication oriented
drawing. I have used a number of such programs (including several commercial
packages) in the past five years and found them all to be lacking an
intelligent approach to weld symbol construction. Usually they consist of
thirty or fourty complete weld symbols which more often than not don't fit the
individual user's weld symbol construction needs. I have also noticed most of
these packages require a huge amount of hard drive space to store the symbols
and consist of a redundant entities.
WIM however, through a 3 step approach allows the user to construct over 300
different and complete weld symbols by way of the supplied icon menu. Such a
large amount of completed weld symbols would require several megabytes of hard
drive space to store, but through this menu you will find you have lost less
than 400K of available disk space and still have all those weld symbols at the
ready. I am sure you will find this program easy to use and hope it will make
the job of fabrication drafting a little less tedious.
Power User is currently developing several other Autocad Libraries that will
be available starting October of 1992. All Libraries will be integrated into
the Power! menu already in your possession. Please view your drawing editor
menu for the names of the additional libraries.
INSTALLATION:
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
Copy all files found in WIM10.ZIP into your AudoCAD directory.
Enter the AutoCAD drawing editor using the standard ACAD386.BAT.
Execute UTILITY in the screen menu area on the right side of the screen,
execute MENU, this will open a yellow dialog box over the drawing editor.
You will see 2 or more listings, one is the standard ACAD.MNX the other
is your new POWER!.MNX any other menus listed are from other programs not
associated with this software. Execute POWER!, probably taking about 10
seconds to load.
OPERATION:
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
Highlight the menu bar and at the top of your screen. The first thing you will
notice is the addition of POWER USER! to the right hand end of the menu bar.
Pulldown the POWER USER! menu and choose WELD SYMBOL LIB. This will give you a
secondary menu consisting of WELD INSERTIONS, HELP & POWER!. Execution of the
first will display the opening screen of the weld insertion icon menu where
you will select a baseline/leader. Re-enter the menu and page through your
options for:
1) ARC and GAS weld symbols
2) Resistance weld symbols
3) supplementary symbols
All insertion base points are located at the intersection of the leader line
and the weld symbol base line as displayed by the corresponding icon. All
insertions will exit the icon menu and additional insertions will require
re-entering the menu. Execution of the second item HELP will automatically
enter the help section. This same section can be accessed by paging through
the first section. The icon menu displays four separate icons as required by
AutoCAD however they actually comprise a single picture help file showing all
the pertinant information necassary to complete your weld symbol. By clicking
icon #1 you will recieve a full screen view of the help file in the form of a
slide. To clear the screen and view your drawing again just click redraw.
By clicking icon #2 you will get this same help file in the form of an insert
which can be displayed beside your existing drawing or plotted for quick
reference. Clicking icons #3 & #4 will send you back to page 1 of the weld
insertion menu. Execution of the third item POWER! will bring you back to the
root POWER USER! menu and allow the execution of other libraries not yet
available.
