    Filling a Side Sewer Stub/Casing

    Definitely what we were thinking. The concern is making sure that the concrete doesn't end up in the main, though. aepaul Auburn, WA

    Filling a Side Sewer Stub/Casing

    Wondering if anyone has any insight into good method and material for filling an existing gravity side sewer pipe that is sloping the wrong way, but that is going to be used as a sleeve for the pressure line that is being installed to carry the effluent from a grinder pump. The primary thought...

    Hilti Kwik-Bolt II Designed to meet ACI 318, Appendix D

    A client chose to anchor a sign with some Kwik-Bolt II's that they had laying around a couple of weeks ago and the building department that had approved a different method of anchoring the sign is requiring calculations for the installation. Any suggestions or recommendations for showing that...

    Meeting Project Budgets

    Perhaps this is a bit of a novice question, but I imagine there are probably a few good methods that I haven't run across yet. Which tips, procedures, and methods have you found for managing project budgets and making sure that the project comes in as projected.

    Create an attribute inline with existing text object

    A field automatically grabs dynamic information from somewhere (from your computers clock, I think, in this case) and can be included in an MTEXT object in the drawing. You can control when the field is updated through the drawing options/user preference/field settings, if necessary. Adam...

    Water Line Sizing

    It would surprise me if any service line would be capable of serving 6 times the square footage that it was originally designed for. You need to know whether the water service provider would consider allowing a connection to the existing service line. You also need to know what water demands...

    Paver Concrete Distress Manual

    Frank, I assume that this might be the electronic copy that you were looking at: http://handle.dtic.mil/100.2/ADA341003. The pictures aren't as great as they might be but, otherwise, the document appears to be complete and clear. Adam Cramer Northwest, Inc Kent, WA

    Changing Lineweight in different viewports

    Steve, I don't know of any way to have different layer properties for the same layer in separate viewports. In the past, I have created separate layers when I wanted a different visual effect in different viewports. You can change the layer properties of a drawing that you are inserting as an...

    Draining/limiting depth of lagoon to prevent flooding

    You can see the elevation just by hovering your mouse pointer over the point that you're curious about. It's displayed at the bottom of the Google Earth screen just to the right of the latitude and longitude. Adam Cramer Northwest, Inc Kent, WA

    Snap Issue

    OSNAP can be a little touchy from time to time. Could the circle be snapping to another nearby intersection? I'm not entirely sure that I'm clear on what you're trying to do, but it sounds like you're trying to center a circle on an existing intersection. Is that correct? Maybe you could upload...

    Left-turn Restrictions

    Thanks. I'll look into that reference. There is a existing minor residential street (currently a dead-end) that will connect to a new minor arterial. We are being required to prevent vehicles from the residential street from turning left onto the new arterial. Adam Rupert Engineering, Inc...

    Left-turn Restrictions

    Can someone point me to a good reference for how far from the center of an intersection c-curbing should be installed to do a reasonable job of discouraging/preventing left-turns. My particular application is at the intersection of two streets. I haven't been able to find any guidelines on this...

    Viewports in 2000i

    If I were in the same position I might try to create a polygonal viewport that excluded the area that I didn't want to show up in paper space. Another possible solution would be to use wipeout in model space over the area that you didn't need. However, that method might require a little more...

    lt 2004

    Couldn't you use the wipeout command (on the Draw menu) in MS to create a "covering" for the portion of the drawing that you don't want to show up in PS? Adam
