Hello everybody, I'm searching AutoCAD files for American Wide Flange Beams ( mainly 8 inches ).
I have found in the cad Blocks library the file DB-8 but it shows the thinner one ( 10 lb/ft ).
I can find in different sites the characteristics but not the different thickness and toe radius that could be enough for me to redraw them.
Any help will be OK for me ( urgent ).philippe JOSEPH2014-04-23 15:51:40

Philippe, you are stupid.
You have all that you want with the AutoCAD command : _amstlshap2d.

Philippe, thanks a lot, you are too kind.
I have tought of that command ( that I don't use ) after your/my post.philippe JOSEPH2014-04-23 16:12:54

Talking to yourself is okay according to Sigmund Freud. It becomes a concern when you answer yourself.More of a concern when you give yourself the correct answer.To be the most concerned when you do this act publicly.

Rs, I was not talking to myself, I only tought about the AutoCAD Mechanical command AMSTLSHAP2D minutes after my first post.
I did those 2 humoristics posts to try and cut any useless talks, but I see that you can be poetic, that's good ( you too can talk with yourself and/or with your computer, it works ! ).
Remember that in each of my posts I have to think in english/american that I'm not and this also leads to eratic meanings ( I'm trying to be good each time but it's not easy/natural ).
No problems for me with you.

French men have to talk to themselves because as we all know French women don't bother listening to them.

And my wife is not french but brazilian and it's me having to listen to her.
Needless to say I don't speak about soccer with her because SHE is fan of it.

If a tree falls in the woods does it make a sound?If a French man (alone in the woods) speaks does he make a sound?

John as long as you are here, I'm not alone.
No problems for me with you.

Yes, if I am here you are not alone and if you are here I am not alone.  So, tennis anyone?  Chess perhaps?
