AutoCAD Naming Protocol

• The names of the text files that will be sent to the user as strings of AutoCAD commands will be named as follows:
  • AC.Name of piece
    • For the floc tank: AC.FlocTank
    • For the sed tank: AC.Sed Tank
• To save these text strings as a text file, right click at the end of the AutoCAD program and insert File Output. Select Tab Delimited Text. In the browse box, save the file to the LabVIEW Scripts folder in the Final Designs folder as the name of the variable (save the floc tank design as AC.FlocTank in the LabVIEW Scritps folder.)
• Once we get the rest of the sedimentation pieces coded, we can work on implementing them into one sed tank drawing. Ideally, when everything is coded and correct, we should have a few files saved in the LabVIEW Scripts folder that draw the major pieces of the plant. We could eventually even combine them all into one code that could be sent to LabVIEW to draw the entire plant, but we should work on finishing the smaller parts first.
