Something like an array variable ???

[bartdewilde]

hello

 

is there in Visual LISP for AutoCAD something as an array variabele ?

 

like:

(defun

(setq x 1)

 

(while T

(setq pt[x] (getpoint "\nPlease pick a point"))

(setq x (+ x 1)

)

 

so if you pick a point, it's stored in pt1

you pick another point it's stored in pt2

etc... etc...

 

and if not is there an easy way to reach this?

You can use a list to hold a collection of items.

 

;;; Example
(setq mylist '())
(while T
(setq pt (getpoint "\nPlease pick a point"))
(setq mylist (cons pt mylist))
)

Using that method, you can obtain each point by using:

 

(nth [i]loc list[/i])

 

Where "loc" is the position of the item in the list (remember, the first item is 0, the second is 1, and so on) and "list" is any valid list.

 

There is a way of creating variables on-the-fly, so that you can actually access them as pt1, pt2, and so on, rather than building a list and accessing them from the list, but if you want a list of points, that method wouldn't be any good.
