Lisp help Selecting multi lines and labeling them

[j_spawn_h]

I have a lisp routine that labels lines with there lengths but i want to grab multiple lines and get it to label them with there lengths. Can any one help me?

[Tharwat]

I made a routine to for the OP , but when I saw the codes that provided by Mr. Smirnoff , I felt shy to post them because

of the great routine that already given by him.

 

Great work Mr Smirnoff.

 

Appreciated.

[Smirnoff]

... great routine that already given by him.

 

I think that you should not hesitate to submit your code to the forum. The more you write the code so the code will be better.

Thanks for the encouragement .

 

So comments are welcome anytime .

Thank you both for the help.

Smirnoff

your code gave me this error

Please specify version and product name you use in your profile. It allow us to know what functions we can use for you what can't. Is your AutoCAD earlier than 2005 when background mask for text feature appear?

[Smirnoff]

I just add ADJUSTMENTS section in my code. It allow more wide usage of this routine. Now you can adjust precision of measurement, suffix after measurement digits and use or don't use background mask for text. Now background mask is OFF.

grammar mistake

[j_spawn_h]

Thank you. I knew it was my 2002 version. I was going to try it at work on 2011. Thanks again for the help. And next time i will give all the info when asking for help.

[JBlom]

Hello I am new to the site and fairly new to lisp. I loaded and ran the above lisp posted by Smirnoff. When I select a line that is 70" it labels it as ";70

 

The lisp is clearly working but I need some help with the formatting. Also I was wondering if it is possible to label the line by rounding to the nearest foot? That is to say if I selected the same line that is 70" it would simply label it with a 6

 

Thanks for you help.

JB

Not sure about how to round imperic, try this out

Fixo, first off I would like to thank you for your assistance. Your knowledge and willingness to lend a hand is much appreciated.

 

I downloaded your revised lisp, it seems that it is now labeling the lines in feet and inches. The 70" line is now labeled as 5'-10"

 

Any chance this could follow the logic of Smirnoff's previous lisp where it reported in a decimal form and then the user could choose how many digits after decimal were reported but in feet instead of inches?

 

I was just thinking that since Smirnoff's lisp could label a line that was 5-1/2" as 6 (5.5 but rounded to 6 when the precision was set to 0) that maybe it could be modified to do the same thing with feet so it could label the 70" line as 5.83 and then round to 6 with a precision of 0.

 

Thanks again.

JB

[fixo]

I will finish this part of feet rounding, but been busy right know

See you later, sorry

Fixo, thank you for the timely response. I will test this tomorrow when I have access to CAD, and let you know.

Good day Fixo,

 

I tested your provided code, it was labeling in inches. So I made one small change to it.

 

I changed:

cTxt (rtos (cvunit (round eLen) "in" "inch")2 0)

 

To:

cTxt (rtos (cvunit (round eLen) "in" "feet")2 0)

 

It is now labeling the lines in feet. I was not clear in my previously request, but I was hoping to have it always round up to the next foot instead of the nearest foot. Do you know how to make it round up so 14'-0" = 14, but 14'-1" = 15? Sorry for not communicating this previously.

 

Thanks

JB
