NOTICE AND LICENSE
D I Management Corporation hereby licenses you to use this software subject
to the restriction below and to copy it in its shareware version and
distribute the copies to others so long as you give exact copies of the
distribution package. There is no charge for this, but ONLY THE SHAREWARE
VERSION MAY BE DISTRIBUTED. You may not distribute or copy the registered
version of this software, except for making a backup copy for your own use.
You are free to use the shareware version this software without charge for
a period of 30 days. Continued use of this software beyond the thirty-day
evaluation period is a violation of this license. If you wish to continue
to use the software, you must pay the registration fee of $199 (plus $5 for

DICOGO GUIDELINES
INSTALLATION
DICOGO can be installed anywhere in the PATH on your hard disk. The two
files DICOGO.EXE and DICOGO.HLP should be copied to the hard disk.
(DICOGO.HLP is not necessary to run the program, but the full help system
will not be available without it.)
If you want to run DICOGO from AutoCAD, add the following line to your
ACAD.PGP file:
DICOGO,DICOGO,200000,,0
The program does occasional memory checks and will sometimes display an
error message and terminate if this does not provide enough memory. At
other times, memory errors may simply cause the program to cease
functioning correctly. If errors occur, add enough to the 200000
specification to allow more memory. It is suggested that 16,000 be added
at a time until errors stop occurring. The command file EXAMPLE.CMD
provided with the distribution package has been found to fail several ways
if there has not been enough memory allocated, so it should serve as a good
test. Another way to calibrate memory allocation is to start DICOGO from
AutoCAD and observe the number or points available reported by the program.
If you feel that the number of points is insufficient, you can increase the
ACAD.PGP allocation to make more points available. This process may be
repeated until you reach the DICOGO limit of 4,000 points, or until AutoCAD
is unable to make more memory available.
To run the program, simply type "DICOGO" at the AutoCAD Command: prompt or
from the DOS command line.
DICOGO BATCH FILES
DICOGO may be run interactively, by typing commands at the keyboard.
However, for large numbers of computations, a command file is recommended.
You can create a command file with any word processor that will produce an
ASCII file, such as EDLIN. Enter exactly the same keystrokes into the
batch file as you would for direct keyboard entry. There are some
differences for a few commands, as explained in the discussion of each
command. This file should have a ".CMD" extension. (Note: DICOGO assumes
all file extensions, and they should not be entered when giving a file name
to DICOGO. All command files are assumed to have a ".CMD" extension,
points files a ".PTS" extension, and ".DXF" for DXF files.)
You may also create a command file by using the REC command while working
interactively. You will be prompted for a file name, and DICOGO will
record all keystrokes until REC is used again. See "Key Recording"
elsewhere in this document.
DICOGO HELP SYSTEM
DICOGO help screens give you a model for each command and a brief
explanation. If a command is entered incorrectly, pressing F1 while the
error window is active will produce a help window about that command.
Highlighted words in a help window may be accessed for additional help by
using the cursor keys to move to that word and pressing Enter.
A secondary help system may be accessed by pressing the F2 key. This will
bring up a window that contains all DICOGO commands. If you select the
command in which you are interested and press the Enter key, the command
will be printed in the Command Window to serve as a model for you to use in
typing the next command.
The primary (F1) DICOGO help system is only active if DICOGO is able to
locate the file named DICOGO.HLP. This file must be in the current
directory or somewhere in your PATH, but is not required. The secondary
help system (activated by F2) is always available.
THE "/" OPTION
Using the optional "/" instead of a space character after the command name
will generate a dxf drawing entity if a dxf file is open. This option is
not available with all commands.
Lines are drawn in the DI_LINES layer, and text entities are drawn in the
DI_TEXT layer. Point annotation is drawn in the DI_POINTS layer. See
Command Summary or the description of each command for further details.
KEY RECORDING
When running DICOGO in the interactive mode, you may trigger keystroke
recording by using the REC command. The first time, you will be prompted
for a command file name. Successive use of the REC command will toggle
keystroke recording off and on again. Please note that your mistakes will
be recorded as well. It will be necessary to edit the newly created
command file to remove these mistakes. If you use REC in a subsequent run
and specify the same file name, the commands will be appended to the
file. Again, editing may be necessary (to remove the END command, for
example.)
COMMAND LINE EDITING
When working in the interactive mode, you may recall and edit the
previously typed command by pressing F3. The previous command will be
printed on the command line with the cursor at the end of the line. You
may use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the point at which you wish to
make changes, type the changes and press Enter to process the command.
COMMAND NOTATION
Enter a command by typing its three-letter name, followed by the necessary
arguments. The command and its arguments are delimited by a single space
or the "/" character. See The "/" Option, Key Recording, and Command
Summary for further information.
General command notation used in this User's Guide is as follows:
P1, P2...Pn: known points.
Nn: a new point.
D: a distance, in feet
DD MM SS or D1 M1 S1: an angle, expressed as degrees minutes and
seconds. May include N-S (north or south) and E-W (east or west)
as a bearing if appropriate.
C: the center of a circle or arc.
R: a radius.
See Command summary for more details.

COMMAND DESCRIPTIONS
ABR [ Input prompted ]
Area/bearings: This command calculates an area. You will be prompted for
each point, and the bearing and distance from each point to the next is
printed. Enter the first point at the end to complete the area
calculation. Enter a 0 as a point number to cancel the command. This
command may be used in conjunction with SEM or SEP, which calculates the
area of a segment and either adds it or subtracts it from the cumulative
area.
The "/" option is available for this command, creating a DXF entry that
will plot the lot area on the drawing when DXF recording is active. If the
LOT command is not used first, the area entry will be plotted at the
arithmetic mean of the points entered.
In batch file mode, all data should be entered on a single line.
See also: ARE, SEM, SEP, SEG, LOT
ADC [ Input prompted ]
Adjust compass: The ADC command adjusts a traverse, using the compass
rule. You are prompted for the number of sides, and for a point number for
each point. The error of closure is calculated and printed, and adjusted
coordinates are printed.
In batch file mode, all data should be entered on a single line.
See also: ADT, Command summary
ADT [ Input prompted ]
Adjust traverse: The ADT command adjusts a traverse, using the transit
rule. You are prompted for the number of sides, and for a point number for
each point. The error of closure is calculated and printed, and adjusted
coordinates are printed.
In batch file mode all data should be entered on a single line.
See also: ADC, Command summary
ALI NPB NPI NPA PC CC PT R T TSL
Curve alignment: (See Figure 1.) NPB is a point before the PC, NPI is the
PI, and NPA is beyond the PT. These three points must be known.
PC, CC, and PT are the pc, center of curvature and pt, respectively. The
program calculates these, but you must select a point number for each.
R, T and TSL are the radius, tangent and tangent section length (the
distance from NPB to PC), respectively. One of these three must be known.
Enter 0 for the value of the unknowns.
The "/" option may be used with this command, giving an arc from PC to PT,
COUNTERCLOCKWISE if DXF recording is active. If you wish to generate a
clockwise curve, enter CC as a negative number or use the DXA command.
See also: DXA
ALP N C R P1 P2 IC
Arc line points: Finds a new point N, at the intersection of line P1-P2
and a curve having its center at C and a radius R. This command finds the
point nearest IC.
ANA C P1 P2 [LOCATION]
Annotate arc: If DXF recording is active, the ANA command annotates a
curve with its length. The curve must have its center at C, and run from
P1 to P2. The next entry may be "O" if you wish the text outside the
circle (default), or "I" for location inside the arc.
Parameters following P2 are optional. The THT command must be used to set
text height before this command. If text height has not been set, you will
be prompted for it if you are working interactively. If you are operating
from a command file, an error will be generated if text height has not been
set.
Acceptable entries could be:
ANA 1 2 3 (I or O)
ANA 1 2 3 (or, with default location)
See also: ANO, AND, THT
AND P1 P2 [LOCATION]
Annotate distance: If DXF recording is active, annotate a line from p1 to
p2 with distance information.
The remaining parameters are optional.
The optional LOC parameter specifies text location. Valid entries are "A"
(text above the line), "B" (text below the line), or "S" (bearing above,
distance below). The default is "S".
The THT command must be used to set text height before this command.
Acceptable initial entries could be:
AND 1 2 A
AND 1 2 B
AND 1 2 (default location)
See also: ANO, ANA, THT
ANO P1 P2 [LOCATION]
Annotate line: If DXF recording is active, annotate a line from p1 to p2
with bearing and distance information.
The LOC parameter specifies text location. Valid entries are "A" (text
above the line), "B" (text below the line), or "S" (bearing above, distance
below). The default is "S".
The THT command must be used to set text height before this command.
Acceptable initial entries could be:
ANO 1 2 A
ANO 1 2 S
ANO 1 2 (default location)
See also: AND, ANA, THT
ARE [ Input prompted ]
Area: This command calculates an area. You will be prompted for each
point. Enter the first point at the end to complete the area calculation.
The "/" option is available for this command, creating a DXF entry that
will plot the lot area note on the drawing. (See the LOT command for
further information.)
In batch file processing, all parameters must be on the same line.
See also: ABR, SEP, SEM, SEG
AVL
Available point: The AVL command gives the next point available, which is
the point number following the highest currently used point.
BRI N P1 N-S D1 M1 S1 E-W P2 N-S D2 M2 S2 E-W
Bearings/intersect: This command locates point N, the intersection of a
line from P1 on a bearing N-S D1 M1 S1 E-W with a line from point P2 on a
bearing N-S D2 M2 S2 E-2.
See also: LBI, PIN, LRI
CDS PB CC RC W FLC FLP FLT FRC FRP FRT RF
Cul-de-sac: The CDS command constructs a cul-de-sac. Looking from point
PB, its center will be at CC, with a radius RC. The road width is W. FLC,
FLP and FLT are the center, PC and PT of the left fillet, and FRC, FRP and
FRT are center, PC and PT for the right fillet. You must specify the point
number for each of these points. Both fillets have a radius RF. PB and CC
must be known, and the two radii (RC and RF), as well as W, must be
specified.
The "/" option is enabled for this command, drawing the fillets and the
cul-de-sac, but not the roadway leading into the cul-de-sac.

currently open, it is closed and the new one is opened. If FILENAME is not
specified, a pick window will be presented for command file selection.
COM
Comment: This command places a comment in your text output and can be used
to enter comments in a command file. Comments may also be entered at the
end of any command line.
You may also make comments in a command file at the end of a command line.
These comments must be preceded by a semocolon so that DICOGO will know to
ignore them.
DMP P1 [P2]
Dump: Prints the coordinates of the points listed from P1 to (optional)
P2.
DXA C P1 P2
DXA: Writes an arc entry to the DXF file when DXF recording is active. C

Rotation must be COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
See also: DXF, DXL
DXF [FILENAME]
DXF: Opens a .DXF file if one hasn't already been opened, or closes it if
it has been open. This command must be used before any of the commands
that support the "/" option or DXA or DXL can be used. The "/" will be
ignored otherwise. If FILENAME isn't specified, you will be prompted for
it if you are working interactively.
See also: DXA, DXL
DXL P1 P2
DXF line: Writes a line entry to the DXF file. P1 is the starting point,
P2 the end point. The DXF command must be used first to open the DXF file.
See also: DXF, DXA
END [Y/N] [Filename]
End a run: If you have created any points, you will be asked if you want
to save them unless you have specified the optional yes-no [Y/N] and points
file [Filename] responses on the same line with the command. The file name
should be entered without an extension.
See also: SAV
FIL [Filename]
Reads points from a file created in a previous run. A file extension of
.PTS is assumed and should not be entered. If you do not enter a file
name, a pick window will be opened if you are working interactively. If
you are working from a command file, an error will be generated if a file
name is not specified.
See also: SAV, END
INA P1 P2 P3
The INA command calculates an included angle P1-P2-P3. P1 is the backsight
and P2 is the turning point. The angle is turned from P1 to P3.
See also: INB
INB P1 P2

DXF recording has been activated.
See also: LRI, BRI, PIN
LBR P1 N N-S DD MM SS E-W D
Locate bearing: Locates a new point N a distance D from point P1 on a
bearing N-S DD MM SS E-W.
The "/" option may be used with this command, giving a line from P1 to N if
DXF recording has been activated.
See also: LAN
LLN P1 P2 N D
Locate line: Locates a new point on line P1-P2 a distance D from point P1.
The "/" option may be used with this command, giving a line from P1 to N if
DXF recording has been activated.
LOT N P1 P2 P3 . . .
Lot numbers: This command puts a number (N) on a lot if DXF recording is
active. The number is enclosed in a circle, and is drawn at twice the
default text height. The lot number is placed in a circle with its center
at the arithmetic mean of the coordinates of the corners specified. It is
not necessary to specify all lot corners.
You can control the location of the lot number by selection of corners,
since it is not necessary to select all corners. In addition, if this
command is used before any of the area commands, the same location is used
as the basis for the area entry drawn on the drawing by ANA.
The number may be any pair of alphanumeric characters. Numbers longer than
two characters are not recommended with this command. (A three-digit number
will not fit inside the default circle.)
The THT command must be used to set text height before this command.
LRI N P1 P2 P3

PNR P1 [P2]
Adds point number information to a drawing. An AutoCAD donut with inside
diameter of 0 and an outside diameter of the default text height divided by
4 is drawn. The number is drawn above and to the right of the point.
The THT command must be used before this command can be processed.
PRO
Points protect: The PROtect command toggles checking each point you
specify to see if it has been used before. If you are printing, a message
is sent to the printer, giving the old value of the point. If you are not
printing, the warning is printed in the output window and a warning tone is
sounded. You must acknowledge the warning by pressing a key before
processing will continue.
RED P1 P2
Redefine a point. The coordinates of P1 are copied to P2, and 0,0 is
stored in P1.

SEM C P1 P2
Segment minus: Calculates the area of a segment from P1 to P2, with a
center at C. Subtracts this area from an area previously calculated by
ABR, ARE or SEP.
The "/" option may be used with this command, producing a DXF entry that
will plot the accumulated area on the drawing at the current center
location. (See the LOT command for further details.)
See also: SEG, SEP, ABR, ARE
SEP C P1 P2
Segment plus: Calculates the area of a segment from P1 to P2, with a
center at C. Adds this area to an area previously calculated by ABR or
SEM.

will plot the accumulated area on the drawing at the current center
location. (See the LOT command for further details.)
See also: SEG, SEM, ABR, ARE
STO P1 N E
Store a point: Stores point coordinates N,E in point P1.
See also: CLR
TCS DN DE P1 DD MM SS
Translate coordinate system. This command will move and/or rotate a set of
points based on point P1. All coordinates are moved a distance DN north,
DE east, and rotated an angle DD MM SS. DD positive = clockwise (right)
and DD negative = counterclockwise. Do not enter a sign for MM and SS.
THT H
Specifies text height for DXF processing. This command must be used before
the first processing of any command that produces text.
See also: ANA, AND, ANO, PNR DXF
TIM
Enters the time and date in printed output.
SAMPLE RUN
The DICOGO distribution package contains a command file called EXAMPLE.CMD
and a drawing (AutoCAD Release 10) called EXAMPLE.DWG. The drawing is just
a border. The sample command file will produce a DXF file called
EXAMPLE.DXF, which may be read from AutoCAD with the DXFIN command.
DICOGO UTILITIES
DICOGO is provided with three AutoCAD Lisp programs that will aid you in
using the program. They are as follows:
o CMDMAK.LSP: This program will create a DICOGO command file from
AutoCad. If you run this program while you are in AutoCAD, you are
prompted for a command, and its arguments. This facility may be
useful in creating command files without having to plot a drawing
first.
o MAKEPTS.LSP: This program will create a points file while you are
in AutoCAD. You are prompted for a point number and are asked to
select the point in the drawing. The AutoCAD snap mode is set to
ENDPOINT for this, but may be overridden. Points are written to a
PTS file in a format acceptable to DICOGO.
o FIXTXT.LSP: Due to the way AutoCAD reads DXF files, the algorithm
in DICOGO that produces a text entity can only approximate the
proper coordinates for the text. This program adjusts the text
entity to correct this deficiency. (This program is not needed in
the latest versions of AutoCAd, only R10 and earlier.)
