TotalBoundary (Pro) is a professional plugin for generating 2D outline drawings of various degrees of complexity with AutoCAD®. The outline drawings it creates are closed polylines marking the boundaries of various types of objects, which can include elementary entities (lines and arcs) as well as complex blocks and curves (ellipses and splines). What sets the TotalBoundary (Pro) utility apart from AutoCAD's built-in tools (such as BOUNDARY, BPOLY) and from other third-party programs is its high productivity and stability, and also the quality of the outlines it generates. The inbuilt algorithm for detecting spacing (gaps) between neighboring objects allows users to create enclosed outline polylines with exceptional accuracy. The program can process tens of thousands of objects extremely efficiently (in a matter of seconds), flawlessly generating highly complex outline polylines in the selected drawings. Key features: The program's powerful engine allows it to build enclosed polylines rapidly along the perimeter of selected drawing fragments. The original drawing needs no advance preparation (removing superfluous unconnected lines, creating an additional enclosed boundary polyline around the original drawing fragment). When the program creates an outline, it automatically identifies and removes gaps in places where primitives meet. The maximum size of these gaps can be set directly by the user. The program replaces splines and ellipses used in defining an outline with true polylines created by means of piecewise linear approximation. The user can also easily set the thickness and color of the polylines the program generates, if required. The program offers an automatic filling (solid hatching) option for the outlines it generates.

Multiple Inputs Multiple Input DCL is a library routine that allows you to create as many lines of input as required (subject to Autocad limits) using a dialouge rather than the command line. It can be used in most lisp code with just a couple of lines of code, compared to a hard coded solution of around 50+ lines repeated every time you want to use a dcl. To use just save the "Getvals multi.lsp" to a directory that is included in you Autocad search path. If you need more information how to do this send an email to info@alanh.com.au It only requires 2 lines of code in any lisp to use. (if (not AH:getvals)(load "Getvals multi.lsp")) ; check if already loaded else load (setq yourlist (ah:getvals '("Xfall percent" "Enter Horizontal scale " 5 4 "100" "Enter Vertical scale" 5 4 "50" "Enter number of decimal places" 5 4 "2"))) There is extra examples in the top of the code about how to use. You can have 1 entry or as many as required subject to screen size. For complete example contact info@alanh.com.au and we will send some more example code load and a working example "Make furniture table.lsp" For testing just copy the two lines of code to the command line you will see a "list" of the result. You can then convert if required to a real or integer using Atof or Atoi.

Multiple Radio Buttons Multiple Radio Buttons is a library routine that allows you to create as many Buttons of input as required (subject to Autocad limits) using a dialouge rather than the command line. You can have horizontal or vertical buttons choice is yours Its use is intended where you want the user to pick one only of preset values it can be a number, a character or a whole word. It can be used in most lisp code with just a couple of lines of code, compared to a hard coded solution of around 50+ lines repeated every time you want to use a dcl. To use just save the "Multi Radio Buttons.lsp" to a directory that is included in you Autocad search path. If you need more information how to do this send an email to info@alanh.com.au It only requires 3 lines of code in any lisp to use. (if (not AH:Butts)(load "Multi radio buttons.lsp")) ; loads the program if not loaded already (if (= but nil)(setq but 1)) ; this is needed to set default button for user pick (setq ans (ah:butts but "V" '("A B C D " "A" "B" "C" "D" ))) ; V is for vertical H for horizontal layout In the example above the variable ans will have the button string value. (setq ans (ah:butts but "V" '("Please choose " "Alpha" "Beta" "1" "2" "No words"))) Pick button 5 ans = "No words" The program resets the default button to last pick so click Ok, can be removed if not required. Copy the 3 lines above to your command line to see how it works. There is extra examples in the top of the code how to use in your code. For programmers it is a replacement for the Initget function.
