Expert: - 11/3/2006


Question
I hav a site plan and the property line has a curve in it. The curve has a distance of 305.43' and under the dimension the is a tringle with 7 43'46" after it and a R: 2264.08. I was wondering if you could show me how to draw this.

Thanks for your help on this.

Answer
Like this:
%%u/\%%u = 87%%d35'39"
The font has to support the special "%%" character set for AutoCAD.  Most SHX fonts do (but not all).  The first %%U starts the underline.  The second one stops it.

Expertise

I can address all 2-D questions and some 3-D questions. I do programming in AutoLISP if it doesn`t involve solid modeling. I can also address menu customization issues and can help you find answers to questions I can`t answer by taking your question directly to Autodesk via their newsgroups.

Experience

I used to do electronic and mechanical design for a flat panel monitor manufacturer, and now I do architectural drafting for an architect. I did and do AutoLISP and menu customization and take pride in making my lisp routines to do the work exactly the way the client likes them done.

Publications
I had a routine published in CADENCE magazine (no longer in publication and taken over by CADALYST). Some of my routines are published on my website at http://my.sterling.net/~bdeshawn
