Hello:
Welcome to the world of The Hungry Draughtsman.
My specialty is Autocad, and the software I have written is
a program to be used with Autocad for the drawing of bolt
heads and of course nuts and washers. The advantage of my
program is the list of sizes in actual bolt sizes which
translate from the bolt size to a table to draw the true
size of the head, or washer.
Of course, this program is being offered as a
Shareware concept, and I certainly would appreciate
the offering of $30.00 for this program. Please
send checks to:
Eddie Van Huffel
1420 Newman Avenue
Lakewood, Ohio 44107.
I will register you, and send you a catalog of
other software I have available, which includes
socket head screws, and structural shapes.
Finally, I must add that if you don't have use for
this routine, please pass it on to a friend. If
you do have use for it, please send me your
offering, or else I may die impoverished, and haunt
you for the rest of your days.
{END OF COMMERCIAL}
The bolt routine was developed over several months,
and has been beta tested on Autocad Release 9. It was run
on computers with CGA, EGA, PGA, and VGA. We have had no
problems with it, and it is a staple in several draughting
departments in the Cleveland Ohio Area.
The 5 command routines are:
BOLTE -- BOLT ELEVATION
BOLTP -- BOLT PLAN
NUTE -- NUT ELEVATION
WASHE -- WASHER ELEVATION
WASHP -- WASHER PLAN
Calling up a routine, after loading it into
Autocad, will present a list of sizes at the bottom, as
they should be entered. e.g. 1/4 - 1.250 - 10 etc.
Any further call for the routines, will show the default
from the last use, and a simple return will retain the same
size. This is for multi-inserts of the same shape. The
next prompt will be for the start or base of the shape.
This is usually on the center line, and the Osmode is set
for "Intersection" The final prompt is the direction of
the bolt head, and the Osmode is set for "Nearest". After
picking this point, the shape is drawn to scale. The above
prompts are for elevations. For plan views, merely pick
the center line, and the shape will be drawn. As with the
elevations, the previous size will be the default size.
I hope that this proves to be successful, and that
you will find it as useful as we have here at Krazy Kad.
If you have any comments, good, bad, or
indifferent, please do not hesitate, along with your
registration fee, to ask us. We have written about 15
useful utilities for Autocad, and would love to discuss
them with you.
Please note that Autocad, and Autocad Release 9 are
registered Trade Marks of Autodesk Inc. and I thank them
for allowing me to use their name in conjunction with these
documentations.
Also please make allowances for my poor
documentation, I can only write the software, and make it
work, but find it hard telling about it.
