Command versioning has been an issue since Action Recorder was added with AutoCAD 2009 https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Command-macro-does-not-work-the-same-as-it-did-in-AutoCAD-2008-and-previous-versions.html Command Versioning in AutoCAD https://withoutanet.typepad.com/without_a_net/2009/12/command-versioning-in-autocad.html See also: About Special Control Characters in Command Macros https://help.autodesk.com/view/ACD/2024/ENU/?guid=GUID-DDDB6E26-75E1-4643-8C6A-BEAEBA83A424

No worries, I would look seriously at using layers for the type of object.

Thank you friends for supporting me. Too great

I use a terrific program by Lee Mac. I use command buttons for the different options. Look at Iee-mac.com/steal.html. I think this will do exactly what you want.

You can add your text style along with the layer name to the program if you wish.

As a quick fix, try (setq D2 D).

Alan thx for the code... using SSD, the linetype is drawn as continuous. I changed "CES.lin" to nil first but linetype didn't get drawn as HIDDEN2, only continuous. (layer popdown indicates that HIDDEN2 was intended). FYI, PSD function is fine. TIA, Steve

What do you need to change to get your lisp to work with metric units (i.e. width 0.5m instead of 24 inches etc) and not imperial alanjt? I tried changing the lines (setq D2 (/ D 12)) to just (setq D2 (D) althoguh this obviously didn't work.

The second code PSD should give you what you want. ;original coding taken from Pipe.lsp, created by Tim Wilson (9.11.95, revised 6.22.97) ;modified by alan thompson (11.18.08) for use at Capital Engineering and Surveying, Inc. ; 1. created 2 routines (SSD & PSD) ; a. SSD will create an existing (Survey) storm pipe on the "V-STRM-PIPE" layer with a hidden2 linetype. ; (if layer and/or linetype do not exist, they are created/loaded) ; b. PSD will create a proposed (Engineering) storm pipe on the "C-STRM-PIPE" layer with a continuous linetype. ; (if layer and/or linetype do not exist, they are created/loaded) ; 2. added error handler ; 3. removed unnecessary code, formatted and cleaned up code ; 4. localized subroutines ;thank you Tim Wilson for the borrowed coding. ;;Survey STORM (defun C:SSD (/ *error* DTR PNT1 PNT2 D D2 A ET HD L1 L2 L3 L4 OTM c_layer my_linfile my_layer my_color my_ltype ) (vl-load-com) ;;;;;SUB ROUTINES;;;;; (defun *error* (msg) msg (setvar "clayer" c_layer) (setvar "orthomode" OTM) );defun (defun DTR (a) (* PI (/ A 180.0)) ) ;;;;;MAIN ROUTINE;;;;; (setq my_linfile "CES.lin") ;linetype file to reference (if using default acad.lin, set as: nil) (setq my_layer "V-STRM-PIPE") ;layer to use (setq my_color 172) ;color to use (setq my_ltype "hidden2") ;linetype to use (setq c_layer (getvar "clayer")) (setq OTM (getvar "orthomode")) (setvar "cmdecho" 0) (setvar "orthomode" 0) (if (and (not (= my_linfile nil)) (findfile my_linfile) (not (tblsearch "ltype" my_ltype)) );and (vl-cmdf "_.linetype" "_l" my_ltype my_linfile "") );if (if (and (setq PNT1 (getpoint "\nPick Start of Pipe: ")) (setq PNT2 (getpoint pnt1 "\nPick End of Pipe: ")) (setq D (getdist "\nEnter Pipe Width: ")) ;In INCHES IE 24", 30", 42" SO ON );and (progn (if (tblsearch "layer" my_layer) (vl-cmdf "_.layer" "_t" my_layer "_m" my_layer "_c" my_color my_layer "_lt" my_ltype my_layer "") (vl-cmdf "_.layer" "_m" my_layer "_c" my_color my_layer "_lt" my_ltype my_layer "") );if (setq D2 (/ D 12)) (SETQ D D2) (while Pnt2 (setq HD (/ D 2)) (setq A (angle PNT1 PNT2)) (setq ET (entlast)) (setq L1 (polar pnt1 (- a (dtr 90)) HD)) (setq L2 (polar pnt2 (- a (dtr 90)) HD)) (setq L3 (polar pnt1 (+ a (dtr 90)) HD)) (setq L4 (polar pnt2 (+ a (dtr 90)) HD)) (vl-cmdf "_.line" "_non" L1 "_non" L2 "" "_.line" "_non" L3 "_non" L4 "") (setq PNT1 PNT2) (setq PNT2 (getpoint PNT1 "\nNext Point: <Return or Enter to Quit> ")) );while (setvar "clayer" c_layer) (setvar "orthomode" OTM) );progn );if (princ) );defun ;;Proposed STORM (defun C:PSD (/ *error DTR PNT1 PNT2 D D2 A ET HD L1 L2 L3 L4 OTM c_layer my_linfile my_layer my_color my_ltype my_ltype_mid ) (vl-load-com) ;;;;;SUB ROUTINES;;;;; (defun *error* (msg) msg (setvar "clayer" c_layer) (setvar "orthomode" OTM) );defun (defun DTR (a) (* PI (/ A 180.0)) ) ;;;;;MAIN ROUTINE;;;;; (setq my_linfile nil) ;linetype file to reference (if using default acad.lin, set as: nil) (setq my_layer "C-STRM-PIPE") ;layer to use (setq my_color 2) ;color to use (setq my_ltype "continuous") ;linetype to use for exterior lines (setq my_ltype_mid "hidden") ;linetype to use for interior line (pline with width of pipe) (setq c_layer (getvar "clayer")) (setq OTM (getvar "orthomode")) (setvar "cmdecho" 0) (setvar "orthomode" 0) ;load my_ltype (if (and (not (= my_linfile nil)) (findfile my_linfile) (not (tblsearch "ltype" my_ltype)) );and (vl-cmdf "_.linetype" "_l" my_ltype my_linfile "") );if ;load my_ltype_mid (if (and (not (= my_linfile nil)) (findfile my_linfile) (not (tblsearch "ltype" my_ltype_mid)) );and (vl-cmdf "_.linetype" "_l" my_ltype_mid my_linfile "") );if (if (and (setq PNT1 (getpoint "\nPick Start of Pipe: ")) (setq PNT2 (getpoint PNT1 "\nPick End of Pipe: ")) (setq D (getdist "\nEnter Pipe Width: ")) ;In INCHES IE 24", 30", 42" SO ON );and (progn (if (tblsearch "layer" my_layer) (vl-cmdf "_.layer" "_t" my_layer "_m" my_layer "_c" my_color my_layer "_lt" my_ltype my_layer "") (vl-cmdf "_.layer" "_m" my_layer "_c" my_color my_layer "_lt" my_ltype my_layer "") );if (setq D2 (/ D 12)) (setq D D2) (while Pnt2 (setq HD (/ D 2)) (setq A (angle PNT1 PNT2)) (vl-cmdf "_.pline" "non" PNT1 "non" PNT2 "") (setq ET (entlast)) (setq L1 (polar pnt1 (- a (dtr 90)) HD)) (setq L2 (polar pnt2 (- a (dtr 90)) HD)) (setq L3 (polar pnt1 (+ a (dtr 90)) HD)) (setq L4 (polar pnt2 (+ a (dtr 90)) HD)) (vl-cmdf "_.line" "non" L1 "non" L2 "" "line" "non" L3 "non" L4 "") (vl-cmdf "_.change" ET "" "_p" "_lt" my_ltype_mid "") ;change linetype to suit (vl-cmdf "_.pedit" ET "_w" D "") (setq PNT1 PNT2) (setq PNT2 (getpoint PNT1 "\nNext Point: <Return or Enter to Quit>: ")) );while );progn );if (setvar "orthomode" OTM) (setvar "clayer" c_layer) (princ) );defun

I don´t know much about lisp... the demonstration is below... I made this quick approach... Once I made a lisp for quick trimming an intersection using polar points... so I thought I could do soemthing similar today.. but I definitely need to read more about it... anyway.. it is a start for someone else to finish it... type storm1 and pick 2 points... it doesn´t work completely right now.. but surely someone will fix it. ;will draw a single line composed of three lines, width is equal to 1 ;base=1" ;it may contain extra code for any pipe size (defun C:storm1 () (setq om (getvar "osmode")) (setq or (getvar "orthomode")) (setvar "cmdecho" 0) (setq p1 (getpoint "\nPick first point..

My suggestion. (setvar "osmode" 545) (setq setang (getangle (getpoint "\nPick 1st point for angle ")(getpoint "\nPick 2nd point "))) or better (setq pt1 (getpoint "\nPick 1st point for angle ") pt2 (getpoint pt1 "\nPick 2nd point ")) (setq setang (getangle pt1 pt2))
