AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Read Attribute (diameter) To Draw Circle?
Oct 21, 2013Can a AutoLISP command be written to read an attribute in a block and draw a circle with the attribute as the diameter using variables? The appilcation is taking the diameter of a tree trunk (the attribute), multipling by 12, and drawing the canopy circle on hundreds of those blocks. So the circles drawn will vary in size.
Not sure how this could be set up, i'm not familiar with LISP writing at all.
1) Read block, single, mulitple or definition?
2) Read Attribute
3) Varaible of attribute, (attribute is an inch measurement...it needs to be multipled by 12 to get feet for final use as circle diameter drawn)
4) Draw circle, variable, with diameter coming from attribute variable (attribute in inches that is multipled by 12)
5) Center point or circle to be block's base point
AutoCAD 2013 :: Adjust Circle Diameter From Attribute And Parameter In Dynamic Block?
Oct 17, 2013I'm trying to create a dynamic block that uses a parameter and an attribute definition to determine the diameter of a circle in that block. I plan to export GIS points with diameter in the attribute table into a CAD file with the block definition. I'm having trouble figuring out how to set up the parameters to read to attribute definition and adjust the circle diameter. Using AutoCAD 2013

Oct 1, 2012What is the smallest object I can draw and "SEE" in AutoCAD? I was hoping to prove a point in my introductiory AutoCAD class, but it appears I have been lying!! I tried to draw a cirlce with a diameter of 1.24E-10m. The dot shows up, but I cannot zoom to it. I tried using an enormous zoom scale, but did not have any luck. I am almost positive my instructor introduced the capabilites of AutoCAD by drawing a full scale helium atom, and that was release 14. Is this still possible? Obviously the atom can be drawn, but what are the zoom limitations?

Nov 17, 2011I have a line and I want from the midpoint of this line to draw a circle with 50meters diameter.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2013 :: How To Manage System Variables
Oct 2, 2013We have six CAD machines in our office (not including several versions of LT), and only one machine "AutoCAD 2013" is having this issue:
ATTREQ & ATTMODE keep changing to undesirable values.
We generally use "ATTREQ 0" and "ATTMODE 1" and NEVER change these except "ATTREQ" gets changed in some LISP routines depending on the insert, but "ATTMODE" had to be looked up because we never change it from 1.
I know that there is no reference to ATTMODE anywhere in our customizations.
Does AutoCAD try to manage these system variables? Is there anything else that I can check to stop this?
