aCAD : Bar generation based on the drawing
The example illustrates the way of using the Open Standard (RobotOS) to define the bar structure's geometry by the means of a macro under AutoCAD® program.
Macro's task is to generate bar structure's geometry based on the drawing defined under AutoCAD® program. For each line of the drawing will be created an appropriate structure's bar.
Available since the 13.51 ROBOT program version.
How to activate an example?
- Activate the ROBOT program in the 3D frame definition mode.
- Open the "Rosxmpl.dvb" project in AutoCAD 2000 program by the means of the menu Tools/Macro/Load Project option. Activate the macro support while opening the project.
- Start the ExportLinesToRobotBars macro in the ordinary AutoCAD® program's way.
- Verify the result of macro's operation in Robot program (the best way is to start a 3D view or one of available deep projections for the structure).
