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?

  1. Activate the ROBOT program in the 3D frame definition mode.
  2. 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.
  3. Start the ExportLinesToRobotBars macro in the ordinary AutoCAD® program's way.
  4. 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).
