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 want to construct lines between every two line ending point by multi selectio window instead of drawing it manually between lines ending point ?

I'm looking for a way to add custom data in dwf files. We currently create 3D models which get exported to dwf format so that we can share information with clients. Ideally, we'd like them to be able to click on any member and have the software provide additonal information about that part. Example, part number. It would be awesome if the client could then say double click that part and have the actual detailed part drawing open up.
The parts we are trying to reference are generated using a third party application, so they are not solids, but the information is easily accessible in LISP.
I am trying to write a lisp file that extracts the LAYER, Z, X, Y, TEXT HEIGHT, POINT NUMBER, from the attached DXF file. Ultimately I will have the lisp insert a "POINT" at the X,Y,Z, cords, and then a "TEXT" entity at the same coordinates with the text height value and the point number string. Both entities need to be on the layer ending in "-PN". The layer name will change depending on the date. I have a third party program that creates the DXF file.
The point of the lisp file is to insert the point numbers and points into my drawing at their correct locations. For the life of me I can not make this work. I have attached the little bit of lisp I have, which unfortunately does not work properly because of it searching for the "TEXT" entry in the DXF file of which there are three per point number. I only need one. I have also attached the DXF file I have. maybe just an overall procedure that I can then code myself? I'm just not good at getting lisp to read a file and extract what I want from it.

I was trying to add a point as extended data to a block.

We have a custom LISP program (Written, upadated in 2003) that takes a keyed in item number, opens and searches a .txt file with four coulmns, for the keyed in item number (column 1) and returns a part number (column 2), description (column 3) and any information in column 4.
Here is the Part of the cod in question:

(setq d "?")
(setq rec (read-line recx))

A quetsion was asked if the data in the .txt file could be put in an Excel file. I tried looking at other post, but I can't seem to find a clear cut way to open and extract the data. Or this old dog overlooked a boand. Is there a easy way to do this, similar to the above?
I have attribute data that is entered as a format of 25-6. I need to make these into feet and inches, 25'-6".

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....

My goal is to have a quantity count of a specific dynamic blocks visibility state and for it to be updated when changes are made, without having to recreate the Table. I want the total amount to be where I have the Fields.
My test drawing is the perfect example, assuming I have all the items that I need in the drawing. I don't want to recreate the Table and re-link each Field to the appropriate cells of the table. Which no one wants to do. In this test drawing the objects in Blue will be used in the final production drawing.
I noticed if I add a new item or remove an item entirely I'll have to redo the Table and fields. Which defeats the time I'm trying to save.
I have a database with the polyline reference/handle (i.e. '13EE6A') and each polyline has a 'door number' associated with it.
I can easily create a query that produces a table of polyline ref and associated door number.
I need to somehow import that door number into the middle of each polyline on the drawing - i.e. if there is a polyline with that handle, put the associated door number in the middle of the polyline on a certain layer. I do NOT need an active link between the database and drawing - it's just to initially populate several thousand rooms numbers!
Project involves repeatedly mirroring a line by selecting mutiple lines to do the mirroring. Probably sounds confusing.
