\How to use WELD12.LSP
WELD12.LSP - By James F. Cox, Jr. <314-544-4727>
******* To exit the program type ctrl c at anytime. *******
How to use WELD12.LSP
The first slide displayed shows available welds that
can be chosen using a mouse or puc. After you have
chosen the desired weld, the program will return you
to your drawing for you to locate the weld.
After locating the weld, the next prompt asks if the
weld is to be on the far side < default is no >. If
you press y, the weld is displayed on the far side.
The next prompt requests you for information for a
weld on the near side < default is no >. If you desire
a weld symbol on the near side you must type one of
the following;
FS = fillet single
FBV = fillet & bevel
BVS = bevel single
BVVS = double bevel single
BWS = butt weld single
(NOTE: The same slide is displayed again only for reference
you cannot choose the weld symbol using your mouse/puc
you must type the letters as shown above.)
\WELD12 Sizes
WELD SIZES:
Weld sizes can be added when the program prompts for them,
type y when it does.
If you do not wish a weld at the requested location press
< return >. The default is no.
NS#1 = near side
NS#2 = near side below NS#1
FS#1 = farside
FS#2 = farside above FS#1
All four welds sizes are requested for any weld chosen.
NOTE: Use Autocad's text commands to add weld sizes
if you wish to add them later.
\Crow foot text
Crows foot text:
When crows foot text is requested a small square will appear
at the starting point, enter text if needed.
You can relocate the starting point with your mouse or puc
by picking a new location.
Text & Weld Sizes can be added at anytime using autocad's
dtext function.
\Weld symbol text editor
Weld Symbol text editor:
Use the weld symbol editor to edit the weld size or text.
Just pick the text and the program will prompt you for the
information to edit the text.
\Problems
Problems:
Question: Why are weld symbols lines shown extra large.
Answer: The autocad system variable (PLINEWID) may not
be set to 0, be sure to have this variable set to 0.
Question: When I hit the return key the weld icons are
still displayed.
Answer: When you press the return key before choosing an
icon you are cancelling the program. To get rid
of the icon slide type "r" and press return. This
will return you to your drawing. The program is
modified to eliminate this problem.
Question: When the second slide icon is displayed I can't
choose the help box.
Answer: You can only choose help when the first slide appears.
To get help, type ctrl c and start over from the first
slide.
Question: When I locate a double weld close or on another
entity, that entity gets mirrored with the weld.
Answer: For the moment the lisp program is using points to
mirror the weld. When the points cross another
object that object will get mirrored along with the
weld. For best results do not locate the symbol
close to another object.
