I just started using 5.20 and just added the newest build (090904). I have AutoCad 2005. When I make a stress iso with the Caesar Isogen the 90-degree bends are shown and dimensioned as 2-45 degree bends. It doesn't look good - how can I send these to a checker or a client?
Is there a fix?

When "annotating" the ISO with node numbers, do not select bend midpoints for display.

If you want to display node number or some other things for the mid point of elbow. Isogen dlls will break 90 degree bend into two 45 degree bends, so there is space for mid point. This is done automatically by Isogen dlls. So the solution is to un-select the check box for elbow mid-point.

I had to uncheck both the midpoint node and the near-side (0 degree) node to get the 90-degree bend to plot correctly. This system had 12 elbows. A bigger system with more elbows will be an inconvenience at the least.

You only need to uncheck mid point, if you still have to uncheck near point, please send me your CAESAR II file, I will review it here at COADE. Thanks.
