Hai all, i have a lisp that gives me Length and Width of Rectangles that i select into a Table in cad. the table gives me the length and width as per incremental in size (eg:{ 1x2, 1.2x2, 2.1x3 } like wise) i have attached a screenshot of this, and also joins same size rectangle in one cell and shows number as 2. What i need help is to get the table not as incremental values but as i select (1st selection in first cell, 2nd in second cell like that). Please check the Screen shot. i don't know how to change the codes, the lisp is from a friend i got. so please help if possible , thanks in advance.. Please check the image ive uploaded too. the lisp code: (defun rectangle_dims (e / l a b) (setq l (mapcar 'cdr (vl-remove-if '(lambda (x) (/= (car x) 10)) e))) (if (and (or (= 1 (logand (cdr (assoc 70 e)) 1)) (equal (car l) (last l) 1e-8) ) (equal (distance (car l) (caddr l)) (distance (cadr l) (cadddr l)) 1e-8) (equal (mapcar '- (cadr l) (car l)) (mapcar '- (caddr l) (cadddr l)) 1e-8) (equal (mapcar '- (caddr l) (cadr l)) (mapcar '- (cadddr l) (car l)) 1e-8) ) (vl-sort (list (distance (car l) (cadr l)) (distance (cadr l) (caddr l))) '<) ) ) (defun C:RECDIMS (/ acObj acDoc space *error* ss e old r p1) (vl-load-com) (setq acObj (vlax-get-acad-object) acDoc (vla-get-activedocument acObj) space (vlax-get acDoc (if (= 1 (getvar 'cvport)) 'PaperSpace 'ModelSpace)) ) (vla-startundomark acDoc) ;;;;;; Error function ;;;;;;;;; (defun *error* (msg) (and msg (not (wcmatch (strcase msg) "*CANCEL*,*QUIT*,*BREAK*")) (princ (strcat "\nError: " msg)) ) (vla-endundomark acDoc) (princ) ) ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; (if (setq ss (ssget '((0 .

Hi All, I hope this is the right approach to my problem - I have searched the forum (and the net) a few times but am yet to find a solution. First and foremost - I am using AutoCad 2014 on a Macintosh...what I would't do for laydel... I work within the Entertainment Sector for a promoter. We regularly receive plans from external sources, many of which are in pretty poor shape. I am required to strip these down but find this very difficult when there are many blocks within the drawing with their layers not set to 0. e.g I am currently stripping down a venue plan, with over 60 blocks, all with different layers. I cant delete the unnecessary layers without changing the layers within the blocks. This is VERY tedious manually. I am hoping someone can help me with a lisp routine to do this automatically. I have been following a thread: "http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?19161-lisp-for-changing-all-objects-in-a-block-to-layer-quot-0-quot/page3" but am unable to get the lisps offered to work (though the one by kpblc seemed to get the closest) and am wondering if this is because I am using Mac? My understanding is that Mac has issues running anything other than AutoLISP? Any help would be appreciated. The thought of doing this manually again is just a little overwhelming and its an issue I am going to continue facing. Cheers, David
