When the LISPs do not run, are there any error messages in the command line, does it always happen to the same drawing (or will closing, opening and trying again on the drawing make it work for example) "This does not work" doesn't really help you see

You could Google LinOut.lsp.

You might be right, but either way, without visibility of the implementation, I personally don't rely on the order of layouts returned by (layoutlist).

Have you tried the JOIN command? It will connect all the selected lines/polylines, if it can. Whether the resulting polyline is closed depends on the topology. As far as I know, there is no command to automatically close gaps because there are too many variables. Another reason polylines won't close is elevation differences. Make sure all your objects are at elevation 0 (or whatever you're using).

Magic, I'm starting to understand it a bit more - thanks again Steven!!

The above codes don't work for me. I wrote my version. coor_vert.LSP

I think I'll give you some hints and reckon you can work it out from there? Somewhere near the beginning of the LISP you want to ask what to call the table, perhaps after you have selected all the numbers, so here is a function in there, unstable (yes, I know...), and after the line (defun unstable ( ....... )) you want to ask the user for the title? Perhaps as the 2ns or 3rd line of code, something like that. (setq TableTitle (getstring "Enter Table Title" T)) should do the trick. The T at the end allows the user to enter spaces (usually pressing 'space' acts the same as enter, T prevents this. Also add your variable name in the (defun line to localise it (so that it's value doesn't 'leak' into other LISPs if they use the same variable name: (defun UnsTable ( refs / ss name ref insPt table row acounter MyColumns TableTitle) Next pop this variable into the table. In your LISP you will have a line I'd search for "DRILLING" to get to it quickly. Probably very similar to the example above where I used "HOLES" (vla-setText table 0 0 "Holes") ; table title ; set in column 0, row 0 (LISP count from as the first number) replace the test string here with the variable you got earlier. Remember that the text string will have " " either side, a variable wont: (vla-setText table 0 0 TableTitle) ; table title ; set in column 0, row 0 (LISP count from as the first number) That should do it

That works perfectly! I cannot ask for anything more... well one thing.... (just kidding!) I cannot THANK YOU enough!!! That is some incredible code (to me) Thank you very much Sir!

@RepCad I have this for the definition points of LINE,MLINE,POLYLINE,POINT,ARC,CIRCLE,ELLIPSE or INSERT. If some placements are incorrect it is easy to redirect them with the grips (vl-load-com) (defun l-coor2l-pt (lst flag / ) (if lst (cons (list (car lst) (cadr lst) (if flag (+ (if (vlax-property-available-p ename 'Elevation) (vlax-get ename 'Elevation) 0.0) (caddr lst)) (if (vlax-property-available-p ename 'Elevation) (vlax-get ename 'Elevation) 0.0) ) ) (l-coor2l-pt (if flag (cdddr lst) (cddr lst)) flag) ) ) ) (defun make_lead (pt / obj ptlst arr nw_obj) (setq obj (entlast) ptlst (append pt (polar pt o_lead d_lead)) arr (vlax-make-safearray vlax-vbdouble (cons 0 (- (length ptlst) 1))) ) (vlax-safearray-fill arr ptlst) (setq nw_obj (vla-addMLeader Space (vlax-make-variant arr) 0)) (vla-put-contenttype nw_obj acMTextContent) (vla-put-textstring nw_obj (strcat "\\fArial|b0|i0|c0|p34;X = " (rtos (car pt) 2 3) "\\PY = " (rtos (cadr pt) 2 3))) (vla-put-layer nw_obj "Id-XY") (vla-put-ArrowheadSize nw_obj (* (getvar "TEXTSIZE") 0.5)) (vla-put-DoglegLength nw_obj (getvar "TEXTSIZE")) (vla-put-LandingGap nw_obj (getvar "TEXTSIZE")) (vla-put-TextHeight nw_obj (getvar "TEXTSIZE")) (if (> (car (getvar "VIEWCTR")) (car pt_lead)) (progn (vla-SetDogLegDirection nw_obj 0 (vlax-3D-point '(-1.0 0.0 0.0))) (vla-put-TextJustify nw_obj acAttachmentPointMiddleRight) (vla-setLeaderLineVertices nw_obj 0 (vlax-make-variant arr)) ) (vla-put-TextJustify nw_obj acAttachmentPointMiddleLeft) ) ) (defun c:ptdef-xy2lead ( / js htx rtx rtx0 pt_lead d_lead o_lead AcDoc Space dxf_cod n lremov ent ename l_pt l_pr) (princ "\nSelect an object for filtering model: ") (while (null (setq js (ssget "_+.:E:S" (list '(0 .

The other (getvar 'dwgname) this will always be with .dwg and (vl-filename-base (getvar 'dwgname)) no dwg.

I have a really old routine that will add & subtract object values, but I was inspired by this thread to write a new one. Allows user to combine [Add, Divide, Multiply, Subtract] values of selected objects. User can also change mode (Add, Divide, Multiply, Subtract) at any time. When finished, user is prompted for placement point of MText with final value. If only Add option used, user has option to average values. Accepted: Attribute, Civil 3D Point, Land Desktop Point, MText, MultiLeader, Text or typed value. Call with CombineValues or AV. Your comments/criticism are greatly appreciated.
