Im just learning lisp and having a major brain freeze and need this soon. Its probably really simple for someone who knows what there doing and If i had time i could probably figure it out. I just need it to get the leangth of a pline and insert text or mtext on or above the line. It doesnt have to look pretty cuz its just for calcs not going to be seen on plots. any help would be great

 

(if a mod sees this please move to lisp forum i posted in the wrong section)

LM, neato !! but

This is part of what I have been trying to figure out for hours and hours. If I want to create a block with two attributes, lets say first attribute would be just text description of what the line represents, steel, plastic or whatever, and the second attribute would be the length of the line as calculated by the above program. How can I get the length of the line (by pick) into the attribute of the block I insert close to the appropriate line?

couple of hints? then later we'll discuss how to get (rake) the attributes into excel, which is no problem, except for totaling like material lengths before inserting into excel.

one thing at a time.... gone fishing !

thx

Hi Steve,

 

Thanks for your praise, it is much appreciated. :D

 

What is the name of your block that you want to use? Or would you like the LISP to make the block from scratch?

That works great Lee Mac. One question, is there a way to get the out put in feet instead of inches. Right now Im just dividing by 12 before i enter it into the calc program but if it could do that itself it would be great

Hmmm.. be careful - I set it to output in Metric - so your results may be in mm at the moment...

This will now depend on your settings of LUNITS, LUPREC etc - I have divided the length by 12 for you also.

I set lunits to 3 (engineering) and luprecto 0 but my leangth arent right. A pl a little over 15' is coming out as 1' any suggestions? I think its now outputting in feet and then dividing my feet by 12. Can you take out the divide by 12. I tried but the result didnt change. I might have changes the wrong part

I have used "rtos" with no arguments, hence it will rely on your settings for LUNITS, and LUPREC - then all I have done is divided this number by 12.

Hi Steve,

 

Thanks for your praise, it is much appreciated. :D

 

What is the name of your block that you want to use? Or would you like the LISP to make the block from scratch?

 

Lee

 

LM, the name of the block is KEY-ITEM, the two attributes are named ITEM and QUANTITY. Attributes are not mtext.

 

Bobber is only moving with the wind !

OK, so if I am correct, you would like a prompt for a Description for the "Item" attribute, and the length of the line to the the "quantity" attribute.

 

Is this correct?

 

Also, would you like the block positioned above the line (like the text), or just anywhere in the drawing?

 

If it is above the line would you be able to post the block on here so that I could see dimensions and base points etc :)

 

Thanks

 

Lee

Lee, maybe this idea will make it easier to program. Since the user will have to "pick" the line for which the length will have to come from, how about the block gets inserted at that same point ? (such as user picking the line "nea", "end", or "mid" or whatever.)

If user doesn't like block insertion point, then user can "move" it !

If it makes programming easier, user could always edit the "Item" attribute if it were inserted with some default as "Edit Item Please".

whatever is easy for you. I can hack it (fish) if you hang bait on hook for me.

Thanks, Steve

p.s. problem #2 with this code yet to come.

Lee, I got nowhere with this, why does it ask for block name when its defined as "Key-Item" in the beginning?

Program tilts bigtime with the following error...

; error: Automation Error. Filer error

can prog also be for line which is somewhat more benifical than arcs?

attached is key-item for your testing if needed.

KEY-ITEM.dwg

Sorry, my mistake - I was previously testing it with a different block, and accidentally left that name in.
