  1. try what lol didnt see any response another question though , how do i set the end of a rectanlge to a perfect 45 degree angle ?? i am trying to get EXACT LOCATIONS FOR FRAMING . Used a polyline and broke lines at points of the deck , i want framing and cuts on deck boards to be EXACT . THE MATH IS ONE PART BUT I FEEL OR BELIEVE I SHOULD BE ABLE TO KNOW THESE CUTS WITH CAD TOOLS , CAN I ?? I CAN ONLY GET THE TRANSFORM REPLICATE TOOL TO WORK FROM SOUTH TO NORTH
  2. H D pro 2017 i am using the transform replicate tool to check the framing dimensions for a deck . If i draw a sq with rough dimensions of the the deck , i would like to start the decking at the sliding door ( North ) and replicate them heading south , can this be done & if so how ? ! am assuming i would use the y axis and input the board width 5 9/16 and input the copy amount
  3. i started the boards from south to north ( north being the house wall ) so 5 7/16 with the 1/8 in front of that board . Anyway to do this without decimals
  4. i really would rather decrease the size of the deck in length . Is there a way to figure this without using decimals ??
  5. Hi everyone going a little brain dead here i am trying to get deck boards to work out perfectly by math . deck board measures 5 7/16 " + 1/8 " space = 5 9/16 if the rough deck dim. is 14 ' divided by 5 9/16 = 30.20 how do i convert .20 into a fraction of an inch ?? what does 1/5 represent ?? not sure i am right but i came up with 3/16 of an inch so 30 X 5 9/16 " = 166 7/8 + 3/16" = 167 1/16 / convert to feet is 13'11 1/16 correct ???
