@LaneH Microsoft wont fix this, sjnce the lock on the DWL is a Autodesk problem. Autodesk wont fix this, since they wanna sell the Construction Cloud and say its a Microsoft problem.

The offset of the center line is 10, and centerx2 of acadiso.lin is used. Since the selection is made according to the order of the selection set regardless of the distance, if there are multiple candidates for parallel lines, they may be paired with unwanted ones. You can create one more selection set and measure the distance.

I have 1 lisp called autoload.lsp loaded to the Start up suite so loads on opening Autocad/Bricscad it has 10 (load "????") as well as 12 "Autoload" 23 defuns. The Autoload has advantage it loads when you type the command. (autoload "COPY0" '("COPY0")) (autoload "COPYCOMMAND" '("ZZZ")) (autoload "COVER" '("COVER")) So add your samll defuns to that then ready to go, big defuns use (load.

@Aftertouch, below is a working solution that I've come up with. It creates and deletes .dwl3 files the same way that AutoCAD handles .dwl and .dwl2 files. It also checks for a .dwl3 file each time you open a drawing and will warn you if someone else has it open, forcing you to close. Hope you find it useful! My acaddoc.lsp contains the following: (load "H:\\CAD\\C3D\\LSP\\dwl3.lsp") and dwl3.lsp looks like this: ;;----- Popup - Lee Mac --------------------------------- ;; A wrapper for the WSH popup method to display a message box prompting the user. ;; ttl - [str] Text to be displayed in the pop-up title bar ;; msg - [str] Text content of the message box ;; bit - [int] Bit-coded integer indicating icon & button appearance ;; Returns: [int] Integer indicating the button pressed to exit (defun LM:popup ( ttl msg bit / wsh rtn ) (if (setq wsh (vlax-create-object "wscript.shell")) (progn (setq rtn (vl-catch-all-apply 'vlax-invoke-method (list wsh 'popup msg 0 ttl bit))) (vlax-release-object wsh) (if (not (vl-catch-all-error-p rtn)) rtn) ) ) ) ;;----- Read DWL3 ----------------------------------------- (defun c:readdwl3file () (setq dwl (strcat (getvar "Dwgprefix") (substr (getvar "dwgname") 1 (- (strlen (getvar "dwgname")) 4)) ".dwl3")) (setq file (findfile dwl)) (if file (progn (setq data "") (setq file (open dwl "r")) (if file (setq data (read-line file)) ) (close file) (if data (setq data (strcase (vl-string-trim " " data))) (setq data "none") ) ) (setq data "none") ) data ) ;;----- Write DWL3 ---------------------------------------- (defun c:writedwl3file () (setq user (getvar "loginname")) (setq dwg (strcat (getvar "Dwgprefix") (getvar "dwgname"))) (setq dwl (strcat (getvar "Dwgprefix") (substr (getvar "dwgname") 1 (- (strlen (getvar "dwgname")) 4)) ".dwl3")) (setq dwlowner (c:readdwl3file)) (if (null dwlowner) (setq dwlowner "unknown") ) (if (not (findfile dwl)) (progn (if (setq des (open dwl "w")) (progn (write-line user des) (close des) ) (princ "") ) ) (and (saveclosereactor) (and (LM:popup "AutoCAD Alert" (strcat dwg " is currently in use by " dwlowner ".
