I'm working on a project that details with topo lines. I have the contours, however because I imported them as DWG's from sketchup they're a bit messy. Basically, instead of being one continuous line, their endpoints intersect and overlap, making it look very messy. Is there anyway I could delete these extra lines? I tried the overkill command to no avail.
View 3 RepliesThis isnt so much of a problem as an annoyance. When I try to make poly lines from connected single lines my procedure is as follows...
pedit, right click, multiple, select lines/objects, enter, yes, join x 3, esc
My annoyance is if i hit join once it will not make the lines into polylines, if i hit join 3 times or so and then esc it will.
It just doesnt seem that is right and I think i might be missing something. I have been doing pedit this way for a long time adn its probably finally time to figure this one out.
Is there any utilities that can select the entire drawing with the 2d polyline and erase all the polyline less than specify length (eg:10m,20m etc) ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI use splines a lot to provide a contiuous smooth curve between two lines which are co-planar. The splines are drawn by connecting the ends of the two lines and then the tangent direction set by hovering over the end grips. I then use the FLATEN command to convert these splines to polylines that can have their lineweights set to a value other than 0. My problem is that sometimes when i use the FLATTEN command, the spline is erased.

I wrote the following
(defun c:**** (/ ogg collegaReactor) (setq ogg (car (entsel))) (setq collegaReactor (vlr-object-reactor (list (vlax-ename->vla-object ogg)) "NOMEAPP" '( (:vlr-modified . testedit) (:vlr-objectClosed . endedit) ) ) ))(defun testedit (notifier-object reactor-object parameter-list / ogg collegaReactor) (alert "testedit"))(defun endedit (notifier-object reactor-object parameter-list / ogg collegaReactor) (alert "endedit"))
If I start two or three or more times the "c:****" and select the same object, when I changethe "alert" appear several times.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using Illustrator CS5 - I've been trying to figure out a way to slant the ends of the lines all at once, or to create them to begin with. I've searched for a method to do this until my eyes gave out (including youtube how to's). What I've been doing is creating the lines, drawing guides, expanding the lines, then dragging each endcap anchor point to intersect with the guide and this is taking a bit longer than I would like. Is there a quicker way to get the lines in the top image to look like those in the bottom image? specifically the slant on the endcaps?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am currently writing a series of routines for setting the layers for text, leaders and dimension commands. The end goal is a system where any annotation command sets the correct layer for the duration of the command, then reverts back to the layer that was active before the command.
I have managed to complete all the code, and it appears to be working fine, I just have one question: I have used -layer "m" "Lay_name" etc... for all layer setting commands, rather than any code to see if the layer exists already. In my limited testing this seems to be suitable, nothing that exists on that layer seems to be affected.
I know how to write code to determine if the layer exists already and set the layer instead, but so far it seems unnecessary??
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.
attached is what I have written so far:-
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 ?

View 4 Replies View Relatedhow to draw a certain line and be able to delete part of it.
Example 1: I would like to draw a bunch of seried resistors, so I made a bunch of rectangles and draw a wire across them. But there are wire crossing through each one of them, how do I remove/erase that part in between each of the resistor? The line is made by using command: LINE
Example 2: Drawing some polygon and random shapes. Simplest example, drawing a half circle, so I draw a circle and want to remove the other half, how do I do it?
Yes, I know in example 1 I can do one object first then copy paste... But that is not what I am asking. I am seeking the command how to remove the lines or object in between.
I'm trying to delete a unused layer. But when I do that I get the following error (see attachment). I googled a bit and figured out that the LAYDEL command might solve my issue, but as I'm using Autocad 2013, that's not possible, as it doesn't have this command...
The block that causes the error can also be deleted, I tried with the purge command, but must be doing something wrong cause it didn't work. Oh yeah, with regard to the purge command, I see it this way (attachment 2), how can you display it in a window kind of view to get a better overview?

Sometimes in CS6 the delete command just acts as a non-optional "clear" command, and does not show a menu providing the content aware option. Sometimes this cures itself by closing and reopening the program. Sometimes not.
How do I get rid of this defect in the program?

View 9 Replies View Relatedhow to delete all OLE objects from drawing by most efficient way.
There are abt 150 drawings, each has from 2 to 20 or so OLE objects which need to be deleted. OLE objects are on many paper spaces.
I tried to use qselect but it selects only what is in current space.
Would need some lisp or some other methode than all can be deleted (excluding those which resides in blocks).
Tried also yto use ssx and then erase but still it deletes only what is on current space.
Just as additional info, those OLE are all pictures, not xls files for example.
I need to delete a specific block from current opened drawing by LISP command.
for example removing XREF attached is very easy:
(COMMAND "-XREF" "D" "FRAME")
I can remove "FRAME" XREF from drawing. Now, I want to delete a/all block with "TB12" name with same action!
(command "BlockDelete" "TB12")
so, how can I delete a/all block with specific name in current drawing?
There are many lisp that draw offset line but what about opposite way , I have wall of double line i need to delete one of them let's say inside wall line .
why i need to do this usually when i tracing in external program like autocad architecture or Revit or archicad i just need outline of exterior and interior walls !.
is there way that can delete the offset line ?(or within range predefined in lisp to prevent interfering of lines deletion).
I cannot purge a textstyle out of my drawing. When I run purge nothing is available.
However if I select the style from the style dialog I am able to select delete and delete the style.
When I use the method on the style (vlax-invoke-method style 'Delete). AutoCAD states:
Automation Error. Object is referenced by other object(s)
The style is defenatly not in use but may have been used in the past.
