    I am drawing some precast panel shop ticket drawings. I need a lisp routine to calculate the area, volume and weight (2.5 times the volume) of panel. And also mark a centroid for that panel. Sometimes the panel might have some openings. Does anyone have a solution??
    Thanks in advance.

    Something other than the MASSPROP command? It does everything except the
    2.5x.

    there is also a Centroid Lisp (Cent) available from the free downloads section of www.resourcecad.com
    it works on regions and solids

    Hi caderudite

    Sorry about, but the functions on my homepage assume a little lisp knowledge.

    Cheers
