Saving Textual Drawing Information
The EIA format parameters dialog window will appear on the screen:
Coordinate system. Defines the point, with respect to which the
profile coordinates will be counted. You can select from the list:
“From (0,0)”, “From contour beginning”, “Incremental”.
Code for clockwise circles. Sets the code for identifying arcs
defined as clockwise.
Code for counter-clockwise circles. Sets the code for identifying
arcs defined as counter-clockwise.
Number of leading digits. Sets the mandatory number of digits
before the decimal point when writing numbers to a file.
Precision. Sets the rounding precision for writing numbers to a
file.
Number of trailing digits. Sets the mandatory number of digits
after the decimal point.
Reverse direction. This lets you get coordinates of the profile in the direction opposite to the specified
one.
Use decimal point. This parameter is required for defining a fixed format without the decimal point.
Upon clicking [OK], the profile information will written to the file in the selected format.
Upon selecting “Geometry” option, the “Geometry” group of parameters becomes accessible. Then, you
need to select the necessary geometrical characteristics of the profile: General characteristics or Moment
about axis. Upon clicking [OK], the selected characteristics will be displayed in the dialog window.
Additionally, if the “Write to file” flag is set, the characteristics will also be saved in an external file
“*.pro”, defined by the parameter “Output Path”.
General characteristics include the following profile properties:
Area and perimeter of the profile;
X and Y of area center of the profile;
Central inertia about X and Y;
Inertia about (0,0);
Principal moment of inertia X and Y;
Principal inertia axis tilt X − the tilt of
the principal axis of inertia with respect to
the X axis;
Minimum radius of inertia;
Inertia moment of torque.
When selecting a moment of inertia about an axis for examination,
after clicking [OK] in the command’s parameters dialog, you need to
additionally specify the straight line, about which the moment will be
calculated. At that time, the following option will be available in the
automenu:
Select Line
After selecting the axis, the dialog window will display the calculated moment.
