: I did that too. Main rationale: it's a lot easier to move forms you've
: already plotted out an additional 3/4" from each other than to scale
: all the offsets and re-plot the end forms. Not that it's impossible, but
: it's not convenient. I think you could put the offsets into an Excel
: spreadsheet and have it spit out the "stretched" end form
: offsets with relative ease. If I had my offsets in a spreadsheet in the
: first place, I'd have done that, but I plotted points directly in cad, so
: I didn't have that luxury. I also couldn't do a 1-axis scaling in the CAD
: package I was using. I have ACAD 2000 now, so it would be easy! heh heh

: Hey--it's still cold here--somebody send us some of that 90*F heat! I need my

We have ACAD 15 or 16 here at work so I'm not too up to date but I would imagine that it would work. I may have to get those offsets from the book inputted in.

The 90F heat sucks for everything but yaking. Building is too hot in a house with no AC and building in the living room upstairs. It is gonna rain all wkend too - so lots of building time though to tape the seams and such. Temps now are back to nice 60-70F although rain prevents me from yaking or biking- just building....

great discussion by the way. much thanks and I should get my butt in gear to print those stations for the CAD guys here at work to print out on nice big D size papaer.
