I need a lisp that creates a polygon of N points, so to enter a only the distance between these points, after choosing N points in the drawing for approximately creating polygons.
It works great for what i want, with 2 exceptions the text is to small and the label is not inserted at the centroid of the polyline, rather it is placed outside the polyline.
i am able to increase the text style by adjusting the dimscale before i run the command, however it would be good if the program could do that automatically, i would like the text to be about 300 units high, and for the label to be placed at the centroid of the polyline
I have a drawing which contains about 100 "areas". These areas are closed polylines. I would like to get a total area of all these polylines.
I have tried using AutoCAD 2002's AREA command, but I am only able to select one item at a time, (AREA, Add, Object). This is fine for calculating a few areas. It gives me a running total of each item that I select.
Using the LIST command works OK for a few items, but you still have to wade through all the other information to get the area info for each item.
Is there a way to select crossing ALL the areas that I have, and have it return a total?
Essentially, I'll be creating a sort of Venn diagram. So for the purposes of this exercise, let's assume it's the classic Venn diagram of three intersecting circles. But I need this to work with closed polylines, that may also have arc segments in them.
Anyway, so I have these intersecting areas, and I need to create bounding polylines for each area, and assess the number of overlaps. So, as in a Venn diagram, the areas where only one circle is present can then get shaded one color, areas where two circles are overlapping can get a different color, and the area where all three circles overlap can get a third color.
I'm clearly going to have to be converting the various boundaries to Regions, and performing some Unions. It seems I could grab all objects, convert them to Regions 2 at a time, and compare their Union'ed area to their individual area, to determine if they overlapped at all. With only the 3 cirlces, that would work, but when I have 35 individual polyline areas with arcs, suddenly this method feels like it will break down.
I'd like to run one command that allows the user to draw a polygon viewport then sets that VP to 1/8"=1'-0".
It can be nearly accomplished with a macro, but falls just short because the polygon vp requires an unknown number of clicks, so there is no way to know how many pauses for user input in the macro.
I have a window schedule lisp routine that places a 6-sided polygon around text that label each window. I want to change the code so that its a circle instead of a polygon. Here is the code line that needs to be modified:
I have a series of boxes or polygones that I would like the program to find the 1/2 distance and create two seperate polylines from the one object.
Example:
I have a square with pt1,pt2, pt3 and pt4 respectively. After I have ran the program it would create a diagonal from pt1 to pt3 and join the rest of the lines now to create the one polyline. Also it would do the same to create another exact polygonal shape for the other half. Thus creating two shapes of equal value from one.
Is there a routine that I could use to count the blocks that are in a closed polyline? The blocks may have or not one or more attributes.
In a previous session I saw a routine which was counting the blocks which had attributes in them, but it doesn't really work, because some of the blocks dont have attributes.
Also is there a routine that counts the different texts that are in the same polyline?
I've have code to test if the insertion point is within a closed polygon. But prior to testing the insertion point I use ssget to trim the selection set initially..
this requires that the whole Crossing Polygon is visible, so I do a zoom first. This requires time. Is there a way I can do this that does not require the zoom?
Generic lisp file that summaries areas of hatches in a table,
I’m wondering if there is a lisp file that can read the boundary of the study area and the hatches and stick there areas in a table as shown in the attached screenshot
The areas of the roads are derived by subtraction the total area of hatches from the area of the study area.
The dwg file is attached
This is very frequent sort of work and takes a lot of time to be constructed. I’m already using fields to perform this kind of work.
Is there a lisp that will allow me to do a continuous dimension, but will alternate the dimension position from low, high, low and high? If there is no lisp already created, how to create one?
See Continuous dimension attachment for example.
I work at a glass and glazing company and this is how we dimension mullion width and DLO. See typical window dimensioning attachment for window elevation with dimensions.
I have a list ("temp.dwg" "temp2.dwg") and would like to add the string "insert text here" into each item in the list resulting in ("insert text heretemp.dwg" "insert textheretemp2.dwg"). how would i go about doing that using LISP?
Is there a way to programatically set a visual style before a drawing actually opens?
We have some huge models and people seem to forget to change their visual styles back to 2D wireframe before saving and exiting drawings. Some models will crash on some workstations when trying to open in a rendered mode.
I found a lisp with a function that looked to set viewport visual styles. But it does not seem to be supported anymore. --> (vla-put-VisualStyle vport 1)
I'm trying to write a lisp routine that, when I invoke the mleader command, osmode is set to "nearest" & orthomode is set off. I then would like the original settings to be returned.
Lisp that switches back on Selection Preview i.e. thickens and highlights lines when you hover over them?I don't know why, but they are always unticking the boxes.
Is it possible to execute a certain command based on multiple selections withinin a dcl? for example: two radio colums, one with selections A and B, and a second with selections 1 and 2. is it possible to program commands based on user selections from each column? ex: if A and 1- do a command. A 2- do a different command, etc...
I tried :
(action_tile "key1" "(setq A t") (action_tile "key2" "(setq B t")
I am trying to find a lisp that would get an attribute value (tag name = NBR_5) . I'm trying to run a simple routine that would let the user place the value from the titleblock attribute as text on a drawing. I see a ton of articles regarding getting attributes but I am not well versed in programming.
