Festive greetings to you all! At some point over the holiday period, I will upgrade the forum software to the most recent version (4.6.9). There is one notable change in the new version - Ranks are replaced by Achievements. This allows for a more flexible system of member rewards for activity on the forum, so you'll see new icons associated with your profile. Other than that, changes are minor. The forum is likely to be down for a few hours during the upgrade but as this will happen over the holiday period, I'm hoping this will not inconvenience anyone. As usual, I'll give you a heads-up before the upgrade takes place.

oof I feel your pain

Section command will generate a flat cross section that you can measure easily enough.

An mtext alternative example (setq t1 "Northing ") (setq t2 "Easting ") (setq t3 "Southing ") (setq t4 "Westing ") (setq pt1 (getpoint "\nPick Top left for text")) (setq pt2 (getpoint pt1 "\nPick Bottom right")) (command "mtext" pt1 pt2 t1 t2 t3 t4 "")

Ok i see what you meant now. didn't quite understand what you meant by "in front of " --edit-- Was thinking about this and you might want to ask for input on the count. like your labeling something 1-12 exit command and you missed one. no real way to start back at 13. This will ask the user to set the count so you can pick up where you left off. defaults to 1 with enter key (defun C:XY (/ # x y pt1 pt2) (setq oldsnap (getvar 'osmode)) ;saves osmode (or (setq # (getint "\nSet Count <1>: ")) (setq # 1)) (if (/= (setq str (getstring "\nEnter the Word: ")) "") (progn (setvar 'cmdecho 0) (setvar 'osmode 1) (while (setq pt1 (getpoint "\nSelect the Point")) (setq pt2 (polar pt1 (DtR 270) 3.5) x (rtos (car pt1) 2 3) y (rtos (cadr pt1) 2 3) ) (command "_.Text" "_non" pt1 2.5 "0" (strcat str (itoa #))) (command "_.Text" "_non" pt2 2.5 "0" x) (command "_.Text" "_non" (polar pt2 (DtR 270) 3.5) 2.5 "0" y) (setq # (+ # 1)) ) ) ) (setvar 'osmode oldsnap) ;restores old snaps (setvar 'cmdecho 1) (princ) ) (defun DtR (d) (* pi (/ d 180.0))) ;degree to radian (defun RtD (r) (* 180.0 (/ r pi))) ;radian to degree

Yes the line with strcat isn't working. This might be better: (setq ntxx (strcat str1 (itoa yazi))) (no bracket needed after strcat, a bracket means it looks at the next word to be a command which str1 isn't. Then strcat wants to combine strings and doesn't like combining strings and numbers... so change the number, yazi to a string with itoa or rtos )

Also right click on the drawings tab to select "Open File Location". I use both the above DIR command and also right click depends if I have been mostly using the mouse or mostly typing comments at that point

Well if you do alot of browsing May i suggest this function. May times after opening a drawing I'll close out of explorer. Then find out I need the a spread sheet or some other file also in the project folder. Rather then clicking down the Russian doll like naming convention my business uses for projects. just type DIR and Bam I'm back in the folder. ;;----------------------------------------------------------------------------;; ;; OPEN NEW WINDOWS EXPLORER TO CURRENT DRAWING LOCATION (defun C:DIR () ;old dos command (startapp "explorer" (strcat "/n,/e," (getvar 'dwgprefix))) ) Also suggest to par (getvar 'dwgprefix) with the getfiled function. It gives you the flexibility to change the location if you want.
