I also backup to my flash drive and have a copy on my home computer. The state of Connecticut would have to disappear from the face of the earth for me to lose it. LOL

 

I would like to hear more about compiling in to a VLX or FAS if you would care to elaborate. Thanks.

 

Got to go. Promised the wife I'd take her to lunch. But...I'll be back.

 

Just go to VLIDE editor in ACAD and choose Make Application, Follow the instructions on each dialog (See Sample Images). Attached at the bottom is a zip folder with all the files. I have included a VLX & FAS for your choice.

Hey Tankman,

 

Just keep both files together and make sure that the directory they are in is in the ACAD Support Search Path. You can do this under Options file tab (See Image Below) or you could just put the files in any of ACADs subdirectories, But I would not recommend that.

 

This link also has information on loading lisp files with dcl:

Refer to Lee Macs section in post 2 on additional loading instructions.

Works like a charm! I knew from previous replies that it would.

 

I do have copies of any lisp file I load, some load at startup by default.

 

I too, agree, keep the program in its' one file; i.e.: Dish Head.

 

TANKS a load!

Good deal!

 

Enjoy it.

Does this not work with AutoCAD LT 2008?

LISP cannot run in LT without an extender.

[ReMark]

AutoCAD LT can make use of macros and i think Diesel but not AutoLISP unless, like Lee Mac suggests, you get an LT extender like the LT Toolbox.

Thank you for the input, I might have to add that

Sorry about that,

 

You should try to get yourself a full version of AutoCAD. You do not know what you are missing.

Thanks again. Dish Head is loaded 'n workin' on four PC's so far.

Each PC and/or Thinkpad™ laptop has AutoCAD 2005 and 2007 loaded.

 

I stored the zip, and the extracted zip; C:\Downloads\Dish Head.

 

I also downloaded your supplied *.pdf from Brighton Tru-Edge to the same file.

 

A good cutsheet for quick dimensional information. And, a few more *.pdf's from Brighton!

If you have a supplier that you deal with, Its best to get the cut sheets from them. Not all suppliers stock same available sizes. I guess that PDF would be good enough just to give you an idea anyway.

To All,

 

I must have made some error compiling the lisps in post 41. They have been replaced, tested and reposted in post 41 as well as the post 1.

 

Sorry about that,

The Buzzard

Buzzard, the older version of your routine was working fine.

I did download the latest 'n greatest, also working fine.

 

What, might I ask, might the difference be?

[The Buzzard]

I know, But the problem was with the compiled copies (FAS VLX). I fixed it and reposted. It is still the latest version. There are no additional changes.

New version works well also! I'm playing on my Thinkpad™ (lives on the kitchen countertop) checking on the Mets vs. Phillies game and Dish Head!

 

So far, so good. :wink:

thank you so much for for this work, this is very professional, the code is excellent, and the format is easy to understand for a beginning lisp noob like me

 

really this was far too easy, I wish I had a bunch of vessels to draw

thank you

You are very welcome,

 

I had some great help here with this one and had to do a lot of research as well to get the information that was needed to make the heads. I find that getting the specifications sometimes is the most difficult part.

 

Enjoy it,

it works fine for me as it is(so do your flanges too ), your layering even almost matched my standards,

Thats good, I assume you will be able to tweak it yourself if needed?

In any case, If there is a problem or you need the help setting this to your standard, Just mention.
