Topic: Pressure pipes and fittings

[Fabricio28]

Hi,

I'm trouble to draw a pressure pipe.

I don't have any lisp to draw polylines with specific angles: 11°, 22°, 45° and 90° (that represent the elbows)

Now I can't insert my elbow's blocks to the pipes.

Anyone could help me, please?

Maybe advice the better way to do that task.

Thank in advance

I'd use polar tracking & check relative to last segment.

Ron,

I don't know how to set all the angles into polar tracking.


Is that right?

Thanks

Use the 'Additional Angles' section of the Polar Tracking dialog.

You may also find it useful to increase APERTURE such that the polar tracking angles are acquired with greater sensitivity.

Hi Lee Mac

I can't add all the angles that I need.

I'm a little a bit confused to do that task.

Thanks

Don't you just need to add 11.25?

Ron,

I don't know how to explain better my task, because my english is very poor.
So I'm attaching a dwg file as example of my task.

It is basically draw a polyline with the correct angles to add the elbows.
Using all possibilities all over 360 degrees

Thank in advance

Strange .. the angles I use for fittings are 11.25 , 22.5, 45 & 90 all are divisible by 11.25 ??
It looks like an easy way to set the used angle is through (setvar 'polarang (angtof "11.25")), then in the options you see:

You're right my friend,
sorry, worked fine!

Can I set Polar Tracking just for some angles?

Because there are some angles that I don't wanna use, like 34°.

Thank you

Try this: (setvar 'polarang (angtof "11.25")) & make sure you have relative to last segment checked.
Look into POLARADDANG, POLARMODE & POLARANG variables.

Worked Perfect!

I'd like to draw polyline just for the correct angle.
I'm attaching a image for example, I don't have elbow for 67° and 68°.

I was wondering if is possible to set polar tracking just for the correct angles to put the elbows.

I'm lost on what you're really trying to accomplish .. sorry.

Not a problem Ron,

I'm getting confused to explain my task too.
