I hate doing things I can make my computer do for me. My adventures in customizing and automating computers. Primarily with AutoCAD and Microsoft Office.

More HPFeet - Plate Weight

This is a small routine to calculate the weight of steel plates using my HPFeet input method. Example:
0.25 enter (the plate thickness in inches)
12 enter (the plate width in inches)
12.0108 (the plate length in HPFeet - in this case 12'-1 1/2")
PLWT (the procedure call)
123.7760 (the result - 123.7760 lbs)

The code:
FTD 12. * * * 12 / 12 / 12 / 490 *
