unfortunately /eshape,1 doesn't seem to work for etable-data.

plls,nodal_force,nodal_force works a little better. but the magnitude of the forces is very different in the horizontal beams, so that they are hardly visible, especially when the structure is bigger.. 
I tried to scale the raised contours with plls,nodal_force,nodal_force, 0.3. That makes the plots look a little better. Is there a possibility to only scale some of the raised contours? (scale the diagonal elements with 0.01 and the horizontal elements with 1.0 for example?)
