hi all

can anyone share his custom lisp file to draw sprocket front & side view using Autolisp.

it will be very thankful for me as i m working in a manufacturing unit & it is required to get the exact data to submit to the production department for their material planning & of course the accuracy of drawing/design/

please suggest me.

thanks

We are usually quite happy to help people that are at least attempting to write some of the code themselves.

There is a lot of math calculation and different input to construct a sprocket.
You need at least the working load and what kind of chain to use.
Here is a LINK (http://www.gizmology.net/sprockets.htm) that shows you how to construct just a sprocket tooth.
Give us your input data and your math calculation formulas to create the sprocket,
and we may help you to translate it into lisp.

: ) Happy Computing !

hi all

i have attached here two files by which i can insert side view (can say sectional view of sprocket, for which data is given in the sprocket.dat file)

but in another software which are compatible with aotucad but not autocad ( some other name) this is not running well.

& also how can i get front elevation of the sprocket (exact teeth profile) by programming.

if any one had it please update me.

plz also note t we can use MDT for front elevation but i dont want to use that becoz many of my engineers dont have autocad. they have other software.

thanks.
