FREE Graph Paper Program

[Whizbang]

I had downloaded this several years, but did not need it.  Now I do because I am having to draw a grid of the top of my house so I can get steel roofing for it.  If you think you might have any need for it (the program, not my house)  ::) you better get it now.  The author's site is the only one that has it for free anymore.

Graph Paper

I just tried it and it is very good.

It would not have been a bargain.  That is why I am having to fix the roof.   :P

Grrovy. I'll definately pass it on. Nice when a functions\statistics\trig and geometry teacher (actually teachers) are around.

OK, I just dug this poast out of the dust along with the warning emblazoned across the screen that the mold contained in this discarded piece of refuse had exceeded the politically correct 90 days expiration date.  Not to be deterred, I decided to poast again.  I am designing roof trusses for a new storage building out back so my wife will have a place to store me when NASCAR season rolls around again.  The adaptability of this program makes structural design much easier for someone who no longer has his mechanical drawing equipment, since I can print a template that is sub-divided into 1/12 spaces for inches with three different colors available for the true aficionado.   I probably will not keep you poasted on the progress of this endeavor since I doubt that anyone has remained awake long enough to read all of this.   ::)

Well, you got me interested. I don't have anything that I need to design at the moment, but I figured I'd give it a whirl.

Scuzzy; maybe I can design an Ace Defrapilator Gun

Here is the sketch I drew on Axonometric 30Ã?º axis.  I had to convert from .emf format to bitmap, rotate the page 90Ã?º, patch it by copy and paste, convert to JPG format, and then reduce size.  The irregularly spaced black lines do not appear on the original saved bitmap, but the size reduction and conversion to JPG in order to display it caused the undetectable patching effort on the original bitmap to re-emerge.  The sketch took about 10 minutes and is about all I need to get started on material purchasing.  I will add the framing details before I start construction.  Simple 2 x 4 frame at 24" center with treated baseplate and dual 2 x 4 top plate before covering with 1/2" waferboard, and then PVC siding and steel roofing to match the house.
