Then, calculate the x-length and y-length with the LL (No. 1) and UR (No. 3) points of the rectangle. The center point is also calculated from the LL and UR points.

excellent thanks

Picking a point is my preference, often for me the rectangles are electrical panels and are lined up against walls, specifying an insertion point for each would be useful in that case Exceed - that looks good, I'll have to sit down and work out what you are doing - busy week this week, so might be next week I get chance, thanks. Questions about it later no doubt

thank you so much ! working properly now. Thank you @ronjonpfor the code.. @BIGALfor the radio button and @mhuppfor merging the 2 lisps together. thanks so much! appreciate your great help

oops again didn't look closely at @ronjonp super clean code. just change the following since I'm setting strings with the dcl instead of a number (if (wcmatch l (strcat "*" (itoa n) "*")) to (if (wcmatch l (strcat "*" n "*")) It will be a little harder to "add" things (write-line " : radio_button\t{" fo) (write-line " key = \"Rb#\";" fo) ;replace # with a number 1-3 are taken (write-line " label = \"@@@@\";" fo) ;what it will show (write-line " }" fo) (write-line " spacer_1 ;" fo) .... (action_tile "Rb#" "(setq n \"@@@@\")(done_dialog)") also add the layer name to the l list

look to see where your temp files are being made. run the command but don't pick anything their will be a temp .dcl file there. nm ill just convert it for you. give me a sec.

Of course, but you would have to add it to the "Choose revision" list also. (or (setq n (atoi (ah:butts 1 "h" '("Choose revision" "30%" "60%" "90%" "Finished"))))) (foreach l '("TEST-PP-30%_Design_Review" "TEST-PP-60%_Design_Review" "TEST-PP-90%_Design_Review" "TEST-PP-Finished_Design") Basically what you choose has to be in the layer name for this lisp to work properly

(command "_.regen")

Try a regen.

I am sure Ronjonp will follow up.

Are you saving bundle in correct spot.

My $ 0.05 "lower left corner (rather then using its centre point for position)" thought the same idea but maybe select a pline segment as the fixed angle, then mid left or right, then the 2 perp sides adjusted to suit say round average of the 2 sides. The top line then would be parallel. If pick 4 points.

Capitalization matters also its better to use setvar (defun C:TestAutoLoad () (Alert "Test") (Alert "Test2") (setvar 'clayer "Defpoints") (princ) ) (C:TestAutoLoad)

Try CONVTOSURFACE.

I keep being second to answer after Mhupp.. I spent a lot of time getting things wrong, still do, one thing that sometimes happens for me is that I set a global variable after I have used it, so on the second pass it picks up the value but in the first it doesn't do anything. For example (defun c:anexample ( / ) (setq MyNextBlockName "AThing") (if (= MyBlockName "AThing") (princ MyBlockName) ) (setq MyBlockName MyNextBlockName) (princ) ) Run it once, nothing, run it again and it displays "AThing" int he command line The other thing that often happens is it picks up a global variable from another unrelated LISP and tries to use that first off. For example I often use 'acount' in loops so if LISP 1 sets acount to 10 then LIPS2 might be: For example (defun c:Lisp1 ( / ) (setq acount 10) ) (defun c:anexample ( / ) (while (< acount 5) (princ "\n") (princ acount) (setq (+ acount 1)) ) (setq acount 0) ;;reset counter for next use ) Welcome to world of debugging a LISP! Frustrates me when in my head it all works OK, but my fingers decide to type other things in Oh, last thing.. spelling mistakes...

Where/how is co, ip1, ip2 being set? This is probably your issue. --edit Another way of calculating the different points. (setq co (mapcar '+ co '(0 -6 0))) (setq ip1 (mapcar '+ ip1 '(0 -6 0))) (setq ip2 (mapcar '+ ip2 '(0 -6 0))) (setq rip1 (mapcar '+ co '(-2 -3 0))) (setq rip2 (mapcar '+ co '(3 2 0))) (setq hip (mapcar '+ co '(1 -2 0)))

One lisp file is better than two : a lisp file and a dcl file. But I have tons of dcl files so just for fun (Grrr knows all about fun) decided to make a tiny lisp in my lunch break to make this just a little bit more easier for me, myself and I. Probably not the first with this idea , haven't checked it (maybe I should have...) , also haven't tested it much (also should have done this) but hey , almost weekend... so go check youself! ; RLX - 25 Jan 2019 - just another luchtime fun (defun RLX_Convert_Dcl ( / dcl-fn dcl-fp lsp-fn lsp-fp dir base inp) (if (and (setq dcl-fn (getfiled "Select DCL file" "" "dcl" 0)) (setq dcl-fp (open dcl-fn "r")) (setq lsp-fn (strcat (setq dir (car (fnsplitl dcl-fn))) (setq base (cadr (fnsplitl dcl-fn))) "_dcl.lsp")) (setq lsp-fp (open lsp-fn "w"))) (progn (princ (strcat "(defun " base "_Write_Dialog ( )\n (if (and (setq " base "-fn " "(vl-filename-mktemp ") lsp-fp) (prin1 (strcat base ".dcl") lsp-fp) (princ (strcat ")) (setq " base "-fp (open " base "-fn \"w\")))\n") lsp-fp) (princ (strcat " (mapcar \n '(lambda (x)(write-line x " base "-fp))\n (list\n") lsp-fp) (while (setq inp (read-line dcl-fp)) (princ " " lsp-fp)(prin1 inp lsp-fp)(princ "\n" lsp-fp)) (princ (strcat " )\n )\n )\n (if " base "-fp (close " base "-fp))\n)") lsp-fp) (close dcl-fp)(close lsp-fp)(gc) ) ) (if (and lsp-fn (findfile lsp-fn))(startapp "notepad" lsp-fn)) (princ) ) ; (RLX_Convert_Dcl) ; original dcl file name : rlx.dcl ; rlx : dialog ; { label = "RLX (RLX Jan'19)"; ; : list_box { key = "lb"; } ; ok_cancel; ; } ; converted to rlx_dcl.lsp: ;(defun rlx_Write_Dialog ( ) ; (if (and (setq rlx-fn (vl-filename-mktemp "rlx.dcl")) (setq rlx-fp (open rlx-fn "w"))) ; (mapcar ; '(lambda (x)(write-line x rlx-fp)) ; (list ; "rlx : dialog" ; " { label = \"RLX (RLX Jan'19)\";" ; " : list_box { key = \"lb\"; }" ; " ok_cancel;" ; " }" ; ) ; ) ; ) ; (if rlx-fp (close rlx-fp)) ; )
