I think I've seen it before, but basically it's a LISP that creates the mitered 90° and 45° (well, any angle ° for that matter) Pipe symbol for single line plan view on a PLINE. Attached in the image shows an example, when you draw the PLINE it puts the corresponding symbol along the run at each angle run (highlighted in Yellow). Anyone know where I can find it? Once again, greatly appreciated to anyone who can lend a helping hand. 8)

Here is a quick and dirty simple lisp

hope it will get you started

C'mon would't to be lazy :D

Hmmm, this just might work. I downloaded it and already made a few adjustments for it to work exactly how I need... I just need to store the OSMODE and restore it when the command ends, then get an error handler in there. I won't touch the rest till Monday when I get back to work.

 

Actually, let me work on this, and I'll post my finished code revisions when I'm done. This actually is a great learning opportunity for me.... thanks for the help. I think I can take this and finish it up. This is great learning for me too. I'll check back in Monday :)

I would be happy to see your final product :)

Well, I can do a little "code monkeying" but I'm definitely no programmer. The best LISP routine I've ever made myself was about 6 lines, lol. Anyways, about to head out of town for the weekend, I'm sure when I'm back Monday I'll have some questions.... Thanks again.

Allright, let me know what you need to change -

I'll do it completely :)

sameo sameo, problem still there

I've been looking through _sysvdlg to see if anything is amiss, I can't find where a setting has upset something in my Acad8, even reboot and start acad from scratch..

this is still the message ...

Command: pipe

._undo Current settings: Auto = On, Control = All, Combine = Yes

Enter the number of operations to undo or [Auto/Control/BEgin/End/Mark/Back]

: _BE

ready to give up... thanks for trying, I'm stumped.. others having any problems with Acad8 ??

Yes, that's correct - did you try clicking on the screen at that point?

Yep, starts the pline command and then when two or more lines are drawn, hitting enter produces a zoom extents, and thats it.

Another modification please, for an existing polyline, the user enter the thickness and length of the dash , as well as the length of the cutting symbol , user can enteter distance from each vertics to insert ,   user can choose the location to insert cut symbole  , either the beginning or the end of the polyline, or the beginning and the end together
