Automatic Block Break

[Lee Mac]

As posted over at theSwamp, I thought I'd share it with you nice folks too

 

I've seen quite a few of these kind of programs knocking around, so I thought I'd give it a go at writing my own - using a slightly different approach.

 

Give it a go and let me know what you think

 

 

Full Description of the program & Latest Version can be found here.

Enjoy!

Lee...I'm going to build a monument in your honor. Thanks dude. You rock!

 

Hey folks. Christmas came early and Lee is playing Santa! Check out the neato gift!

 

First thing I do tomorrow when I get to work is download that bad boy post haste.

Haha! Thanks Mark I hope it works for you!

That is cool! I usually created block then add wipeout in the block.

However, this one works for any kind of block!

[ReMark]

I gave your lisp routine a quick runthrough this morning at work and it functioned perfectly. Thank you Lee for your time and efforts.

[viviancarvalho]

Thats wonderful. Just like any of your programs.

Thanks Lee for your generosity.

[rengised]

Excellent Sir Lee.

Great one....

[Lee Mac]

Thank you all for your kind words, I'm really glad you like my program & that it functioned correctly for you

Very impressive.

 

Just imagine what could be done with autolisp and visual lisp if Autodesk had kept adding to its functionality over the past decade, in the same way they have been improving AutoCAD itself...

[Lee Mac]

Thanks mate

 

Yeah, its a real shame that A/VLISP isn't developed anymore, it's such an accessible language for so many novice programmers making it pretty popular - developing it would only increase its popularity.

Dear Sir,

Nice Lisp

its's possible add block in hatch area

hatch will be trim or wipeout

Thanks for your suggestion, but at that point I think you would probably be better to use a wipeout in the block definition (if it prints to PDF correctly for you).

It was only a matter of time before these types of "tweaks" were requested. Don't say you didn't see it coming Lee! LOL

Oh of course, but I do welcome suggestions - ideas are sometimes hard to come by and so if there is a suggestion that I deem would improve the program, I might just implement it

I'm not looking to add wipeouts to this program. I suggested you could add a wipeout to your block definitions if you wanted that result.
