AutoCAD for TCPs

I use AutoCAD to produce tree constraints plans for BS5837 surveys. I have written a program that will automatically generate tree shadows on any day. It also generates the more general shadow type described in BS 5837:2005. Works for any number of trees, just needs northing, easting and tree height in a data.txt file. Just load and run in AutoCAD.

Giving it away free.

Anyone interested?

That sounds good. Have you seen the latest copy of the bs 2012?

How does the file come, as an email attachment or a link?

Cheers

Paul
