So you plotting from Model space or layout ? Google "plotting Maratovich" has a good package handles lots of combinations. I have plot range etc of layouts of different sizes but not model, only have plot all in model but 1 size. Big hint use layouts.

This what i came up with a few weeks back. will work on multiple lines of text or mtext. will create mtext at the current 'textsize variable & keep the formatting. if you don't pick a point it will copy text to the clipboard. ;;----------------------------------------------------------------------------;; ;; COMBINE MULTIPLE TEXT INTO ONE MTEXT (defun c:CMT (/ done lst str) (while (not done) (setvar 'errno 0) (setq e (car (nentsel "\nSelect Text to join: "))) (if (and (= (getvar 'errno) 0) (wcmatch (cdr (assoc 0 (entget e))) "*TEXT") ) (progn (if (not (member (vlax-ename->vla-object e) lst)) (setq lst (cons (vlax-ename->vla-object e) lst)) ) ; end if (redraw e 3) ) (if (= (getvar 'errno) 52) (setq done T) (prompt "\nNothing selected --") ) ) ) (setq lst (reverse lst)) (setq str (vlax-get (car lst) 'TextString)) (setq lst (cdr lst)) (foreach x lst (setq str (strcat str "\\P" (vlax-get x 'TextString))) ) (if (setq pt (getpoint "\nLocation: ")) ;if you pick a point will create mtext if not will copy to clipboard (entmake (list '(0 . "MTEXT") '(100 . "AcDbEntity") '(100 . "AcDbMText") (cons 10 pt) (cons 1 str) '(71 . 5) ;mid center justify ) ) (progn (setq str (vl-string-subst " " "\\P" str)) (vlax-invoke (vlax-get (vlax-get (setq html (vlax-create-object "htmlfile")) 'ParentWindow) 'ClipBoardData) 'setData "Text" str) (vlax-release-object html) ) ) (vla-Regen Drawing acactiveviewport) (princ) )

I have a library of entmake routines, so I don't need to copy and paste them every time I want one. get it working once and it will work every time after. Using that instead of your code gives me the below: Try that. Also added a couple of princ to report what the user clicks Problem with your code I think you need the cons 100s: (cons 100 "AcDbEntity")(cons 100 "AcDbMText") (defun M-Text (pt str) (entmakex (list (cons 0 "MTEXT") (cons 100 "AcDbEntity") (cons 100 "AcDbMText") (cons 10 pt) (cons 1 str))) ) (defun c:comtext () (setq ent1 (entsel "\nSelect first text entity: ")) (princ (setq text1 (cdr (assoc 1 (entget (car ent1)))))) (setq ent2 (entsel "\nSelect second text entity: ")) (princ (setq text2 (cdr (assoc 1 (entget (car ent2)))))) (setq point (getpoint "\nSelect location for combined text: ")) (M-Text point (strcat text1 "\P" text2)) (princ) )

You have it all there in my posted code... Look for (inters) function and what follows it...

What about if polylines are "invert" so the end to end and start to star will make a self intersecting 3dpolyline

This is last version I have on my laptop. Hope it's the latest , not sure. At the end of the main loop I've added the setbylayer command with some remarks. Not sure if its what you need but that's for you to find out. I'm sorry I don't have much time right now , have to deal with the aftermath of afterlife party (my dad , 91) BlockByBlock.lsp

I use Plot to Layout in all Page Setups for plotting and have a second Page Setup for PDF for each of them. Need functional Page Setups for Publishing anyway. Have QuickPlot & QuickPDF macros to quickly plot any layout without any other input. Nothing reduces drawing time better than good templates!

You should consider switching to annotative dimensions so they'd display the same at different scales in MS and the same drawn in PS. Rather than end up with dimensions with varying gap & arrow sizes you could add a dimension style exactly how you want and set that style to all your dimensions.

No, you can use a fraction or decimal not both. There's a rational numbering system and a decimal numbering system, the one you want doesn't exist. You could enter 'CAL at the command line then enter 8/0.1234567 to get 64.8000473 returned.

If you want all the dimension styles you might need to add this function somewhere: (defun tablesearch ( s / d r) ;;List Dimstyles (while (setq d (tblnext s (null d))) (setq r (cons (cdr (assoc 2 d)) r)) ) ) and to loop through the list something like this: (foreach x (tableSearch "dimstyle") --- do stuff (princ "\n") (princ x) ; for example ) ; end foreach That isn't what I was going to say though, I have found that adjusting the text sizes a lot can make the spacing and arrows out or proportion, the LISP I use does this with dimstyles rather than MHUPPs entmod method - you might want to search for that as well. For example a text size of 250 dwarfs an arrow size of 2.5 MHUPP is pretty good with this stuff and might modify his for example to put arrow size to the same as text size to show how to build up his code to add more stuff (I don't know the code for 'arrow size' )

Hello everyone, I'm a conditioning-cooling technician. I've been trying to learn autolisp and write an autolisp program for about two years. My program is about air duct calculation and drawing. I draw the air duct route as a single line. I write the air flow rate on the airdiffizor places. The program calculates the air flow rate in each part, resizes it according to the equal friction method, and draws the model space. I want the user to be able to select some parameters for the drawing. I created a DCL for this. Part number (toogle), layer (popup_list) color (popup_list) text height (edit_box) . The user should be able to set the attributes (layer, color, text height) of the text he wants to print from here. What I want to do is: 1- The layer popup list should be the list of layers in the active drawing. 2- The color popup list should be like the popup in the properties toolbar. I would be grateful to anyone who can help. Thank you. my code for dcl: Cizparam : dialog { label ="Çizim Parametreleri"; width = 30; height = 20 ; : boxed_column { label ="Yazdırma Seçenekleri"; :row { : column { : row { : toggle { key = "Pndim_tog"; label = "Parça Numarası " ; alignment = centered ;}} : row { : toggle { key = "Kndim_tog"; label = "Kanal Ebadı " ; alignment = centered ;}} : row { : toggle { key = "AFdim_tog"; label = "Hava Debisi " ; alignment = centered ;}} : row { : toggle { key = "Padim_tog"; label = "Basınc Kaybı " ; alignment = centered ;}} : row { : toggle { key = "Vldim_tog"; label = "Hava Hızı " ; alignment = centered ;}} : row { : toggle { key = "Ftdim_tog"; label = "Fittings Adı " ; alignment = centered ;}} } : column { : row { : popup_list { label = "Layer:" ; key = "PnoLay_lst"; alignment = centered ; value = "1" ;}} : row { : popup_list { label = "Layer:" ; key = "KnELay_lst"; alignment = centered ; value = "0" ;}} : row { : popup_list { label = "Layer:" ; key = "AflLay_lst"; alignment = centered ; value = "0" ;}} : row { : popup_list { label = "Layer:" ; key = "PamLay_lst"; alignment = centered ; value = "0" ;}} : row { : popup_list { label = "Layer:" ; key = "VelLay_lst"; alignment = centered ; value = "0" ;}} : row { : popup_list { label = "Layer:" ; key = "FttLay_lst"; alignment = centered ; value = "0" ;}} } : column { : row { : popup_list { label = "Color:" ; key = "PnoClr_lst"; alignment = centered ; value = "8" ;}} : row { : popup_list { label = "Color:" ; key = "KnEClr_lst"; alignment = centered ; value = "8" ;}} : row { : popup_list { label = "Color:" ; key = "AflClr_lst"; alignment = centered ; value = "8" ;}} : row { : popup_list { label = "Color:" ; key = "PamClr_lst"; alignment = centered ; value = "8" ;}} : row { : popup_list { label = "Color:" ; key = "VelClr_lst"; alignment = centered ; value = "8" ;}} : row { : popup_list { label = "Color:" ; key = "FttClr_lst"; alignment = centered ; value = "8" ;}} } : column { : row { : edit_box { key = "Pno_eb"; label = "Yazı Yüksekliği :" ; edit_width = 3; fixed_width = true; allow_accept = false; alignment = centered ;}} : row { : edit_box { key = "KnE_eb"; label = "Yazı Yüksekliği :" ; edit_width = 3; fixed_width = true; allow_accept = false; alignment = centered ;}} : row { : edit_box { key = "Afl_eb"; label = "Yazı Yüksekliği :" ; edit_width = 3; fixed_width = true; allow_accept = false; alignment = centered ;}} : row { : edit_box { key = "Pam_eb"; label = "Yazı Yüksekliği :" ; edit_width = 3; fixed_width = true; allow_accept = false; alignment = centered ;}} : row { : edit_box { key = "Vel_eb"; label = "Yazı Yüksekliği :" ; edit_width = 3; fixed_width = true; allow_accept = false; alignment = centered ;}} : row { : edit_box { key = "Ftt_eb"; label = "Yazı Yüksekliği :" ; edit_width = 3; fixed_width = true; allow_accept = false; alignment = centered ;}} } } : row { width = 50; fixed_width = true; alignment = centered ; : button { key = "Accept"; label = "Tamam"; width = 15; fixed_width = true; alignment = left; is_default = true; is_cancel = false; mnemonic = "T"; } : button { key = "Cancel"; label = "Iptal"; width = 15; fixed_width = true; alignment = left; is_default = false; is_cancel = true; mnemonic = "I"; } : button { key = "Hlp"; label = "Yardım"; width = 15; fixed_width = true; alignment = left; is_default = false; mnemonic = "Y"; } } } } // dialog end.
