a routine that has the option to break vertical or break horizontal, depending on the option, the lines that cross either the horizontal or vertical (again, depending on the option) a specified distance (say .05) on either side of the line you wanted to keep. So if I choose BREAKH, the vertical lines that I choose would break any horizontal lines that cross them. Same applies to BREAKV. Hopefully I communicated clearly enough.
I am having trouble moving an object a certain distance. The distance is defined by a pre-defined variable. I just can't figure out the syntax for the autolisp command.
Here is the bit of code if written, there is more code not shared here that defines the points for the polyline .
;-- the varaible box_height is defined earlier in the routine
;-- Draw the polyline for the top of the cabinet (command "pline" p1tt P2tt P3tt P4tt P5tt P6tt P7tt P8tt "c")
;-- Assign the new part a variable name (setq cab_toppl (entlast))
;-- Extrude the polyline to make the top of the cabinet (command "extrude" cab_toppl "" cab_intw "0")
;-- Assign the new part a variable name (setq cab_top (entlast))
;-- Rotate the top of the cabinet down to the floor of cabinet
(command "rotate3d" cab_top "" 2 p1tt p2tt 90)
;-- Move the top of the cabinet to the final location
;-- HERE IS THE PART I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH. ESSENTIALLY ONCE THE PART IS CREATED I'VE NAMED IT CAB_TOP AND AM NOW TRYING TO MOVE IT IN THE Z AXIS THE DISTANCE DEFINED BY THE VARIABLE BOX_HEIGHT WITHOUT USER INPUT
I'm creating the following macro:- (defun C:BK () (command "_BREAK" PAUSE "_F" PAUSE "@" )(princ)) to add to a shortcut key lisp file and then I want it to repeat... How do I make it repeat?
I want it to do the same as this:- *^C^C_break \_f @ but as a shortcut key in a lisp format.
With all of you fine teachers, I have the know-how to get the start and end values of a line.
Do you think there is a way to get a point returned that represents the true intersection of the two lines, without having to involke a user defined "getpoint" function using "intersect" osnap?
I am trying to draw a line between two lines and I put together the following. It works great if the start/end points are perpendicular to each other. How do I solve if line one start point is in a positive direction and line two is in a negative direction?
(defun c:test () (setq L1 (car (entsel " Select the first line: ")) L2 (car (entsel " Select the second line: ")) )
i know DIMANGULAR command will let me draw a dimension to display the angle between two lines, but is there a way for my commandbar to show me what the angle is rather than draw a dimension?
I often want to simply know the angle but not display it in the drawing, and it'd be good if there was a command/lisp which showed me in the command line area, or perhaps a pop up window, similar to what the TLEN lisp does here: URL....
I want to get the minimum and maximum x, y coordinate values of selected lines. In other words, i want to find the top, bottom, left and right edges of a set of lines.
I got the attached lisp file from the web which automatically labels the lines with their length. Resulting the values of the length in the absolute values of the length instead of saying that the length is in inch. i.e, i need to remove the inch sign (") from the suffix of the length.
The PARTS LISTS on our old drawings are simply text entities and lines. Some are MTEXT. But our new drawing template has us creating our parts list using the actual AutoCAD TABLES entity.
I'm looking for the best method to go from lines and text in AutoCAD, to an AutoCAD table. As of now, I have to retype everything since I can't select a column/row or group of text entities, copy/paste into a table.
Any LISP function that will allow me to go from TEXT and LINES to a TABLE? I've tried B2E (lisp name) but it's not working - found that on a lisp site somewhere.
how to use AutoLISP to draw lines between two points. I have x,y,z coordinates for the end points in an excel sheet which I can save as a text file. I need to pull the coordinates from the file and use them to draw the lines. There are 2000+ lines so it is not feasible to draw them manually.
I am testing 2010 lisp routines in 2013. One thing I noticed is princ lines are not showing up on the command line until after the lisp routine has finished. Is there a setvar that controls this behaviour?
LISP routine for rotating lines so that text in linetypes always reads from left to right?
I use the QUERY command to create basemaps and often the lines that are imported read upside down or backwards or however you prefer to look at it. Most often, if I look at the XY coords of these backwards lines, the End X coordinate is of a higher value than the Start X coordinate.
Looking for something that would compare the two X coordinates of a line, do some sort of an IF Start X > End X, and if its true, store the XYZ coords of the Start and End in some variable, and swap them.
I have about 30 profiles with water pipe lines that I need to measure all their vertical angles. since the vetical scale is exaggerated so I can't use the acad angular icon tool bar. Only thing I cant think of is to block each run then import them back in at 1/10 in y direction. How to get this done faster or more direct by any other methods.
I want to make many object cooper lines in autocad and each line has some data about its length, size, type etc. that can then extract to excel as a Bill of materials.
I want to draw a line which shows a particular color scheme, I at current do this by drawing a solid line of one color and then use a dashed line of another color top go over it.
The obvious problem is that these lines are being double drawn. Is there a way using lisp that I can draw both lines at once?
I need to divide thousands of lines into half, but AutoCAD divide command can only allow you to select one line at a time.Is there any way we can divide multiple lines at once.
I ment midpoint instead of center.Is it possible to select several different line entities and have them each rotated around its midpoint, or end point, so afterwards all have the same direction specified by a number or specified by direction of another entity?I wish command matchprop had that rotation option in its Settings.
