VISUAL BASIC: SPACE CALCULATOR


VARIOUS COMPANIES

TYPICAL CALCULATIONS

  • LENGTH
  • AREA
  • VOLUME
  • MY KNOWLEDGE & SKILLSET

    DOING CAD OFTEN REQUIRED LOTS OF DIMENSIONAL CALCULATIONS FOR DRAWINGS. REPETITIVE, IF THERE WERE MANY CALCULATIONS. IT TOOK TIME. THERE WAS ALWAYS ROOM FOR A "SLIP UP" IN CALCULATIONS BEING ONLY HUMAN. BUT IF AN ERROR WAS MADE IT MAY TAKE A WHILE AFTER DOING ALL CALCULATIONS TO DISCOVER AND DETERMINE WHERE THE ERROR OCCURRED. THIS "AP" ALLOWED ME TO DO MANY CALCULATIONS QUICKLY WITHOUT MAKING A SPREADSHEET. BEING ABLE TO LATER GO BACK AND SEE EACH CALCULATION AND THE NAME OF THE DIMENSIONS, WHICH WERE TAKEN, TO HAND CHECK AND IDENTIFY WHERE AN ERROR OCCURED OR TO QUICKLY MODIFY A DIMENSION FOR RECALCULATION. OFTEN PEOPLE WILL ASK ME FOR A VOLUME OR AREA AND ARE HAPPILY SURPRISIED WHEN I CAN RETURN THE ANSWER IN A MINUTE OR TWO. IT MAKES FOR A LESS TEDIOUS DAY.
