11. FORMWORK

CHAPTER 11 'FORMWORK' 40 β. Engraving - Horizontal/Vertical/Random: to enter consecutive, continuous dimensions with the measurement start point indicated by you, in horizontal, vertical or random direction respectively. How to use : 1. You activate the command "DIMENSIONS>> Engraving - Horizontal". 2. Select with the mouse the position where the dimensions will be drawn. 3. You select the starting point of the measurements. 4. You indicate successive points to calculate the distances from your starting point. The format of the written dimensions will have the following format : c. By Cross-section View X/Y View/ Line View: to automatically enter multiple, contiguous dimensions in any direction. How to use : 1. From the command list "LINES - AXES - CIRCLES", draw a line that intersects your formwork at the points between which you want to calculate dimensions. 2. Activate the command "DIMENSIONS >> With intersection". Select "View x-x', z-z'" or "View line" if you want the dimensions to be written as horizontal or vertical projections, or projected on the intersection line respectively. 3. Use the mouse to indicate the point where the dimensions will be written. 4. You select the intersection line with the mouse and the dimensions are automatically drawn. 5. Delete the auxiliary intersection line. Remarks : 1. The intersection line can be a Section, Sections or a Continuous Line (pline). In the case of Line - Segments you must indicate each time with the mouse the position where the dimension will be indicated before selecting each line segment. 2. In the case where the line of intersection is a continuous line and intersects points on the formwork which will give zero dimensions, these are NOT indicated. 3. The format of the imported dimensions, where possible, obeys the "Dimensional Parameters". 4. Importing dimensions "By intersection" does not obey the "Confirm" parameter
