LitioLAB 1.0 is an advanced, complex-shape, mathematical drawing tool for Autodesk® AutoCAD®, that helps you draw complex shapes (either 2D curves, 3D curves or 3D surfaces), that are not available as standard commands within AutoCAD.

It is ideal for engineering and/or architectural applications as, for example:

  • Building arches, suspension bridges, catenary curves, gear profiles, helical augers, airfoils [cross sections of wings], ship hulls, Wankel engine epitrochoid housings, ammunition and missile warheads, projectile motion [oblique throw], and Lissajous curves 
  • Simple harmonic motion, Fourier series, space orbits, Guilloché patterns, harmonograph figures, mathematic roses, Rosetta orbits, Roulette curves, Tusi couples, filigrees, spirals, hypotrochoids, and epitrochoids, etc. They all follow mathematical principles and formulas.
  • For any physics, engineering, or architectural phenomenon that can be expressed mathematically.

With LitioLAB you can:

  • draw shapes that follow a mathematical equation or formula as 2D curves; 3D curves; or 3D surfaces
  • import a series of XLS points (or other formats) into your drawing, to draw them as a series of POINTs, LINE segments or 2D or 3D POLYLINEs;

With LitioLAB 1.0 you can also draw:

  • Oblongs
  • Trigonometric functions (SINE, COSINE)
  • Parabolas, by picking 3 points that belong to the parabola, and additional points to define its limits
  • Catenary curves, providing the two ends and the catenary length
  • 2D and 3D helixes and spirals
  • Spirograph-like shapes.

There are more possibilities waiting for you with LitioLAB. With some basic calculus knowledge, you can expand the limits of your AutoCAD!

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

In some operating systems, to run LitioLAB 1.0 your user needs to have the permissions or privileges, to access, write or modify files in the folder where LitioLAB 1.0 files are located (e.g., the SUPPORT folder). LitioLAB 1.0 modifies the LitioLAB.cfg file when you make LitioLAB 1.0 configuration [settings] changes. (LitioLAB 1.0 may need to create/modify other files in normal operation.)

To solve this problem, you need to be logged in as an administrator, and/or, you need to get the necessary permissions or privileges: right-click the folder, properties, security tab, give permissions. (If not, when making configuration [settings] changes, they will not have any effect, and LitioLAB 1.0 might crash).

Another solution is to place all LITIOLAB.* files in a directory (folder) you have permissions to modify, and add the folder to your CAD's support files search path.
