Dimensions next to matchline

[Ohnoto]

Is there a way to have dimensions posted on both sides of a selected line or block?

 

On both sides of our matchline, block attached, our dimensions are a set distance away depending on scale of drawing and go to specific layers, and rows are that same distance apart.

 

Such as:

30 Scale - 7' away from matchline

50 Scale - 14' away from matchline

100 Scale - 28' away from matchline

 

With two rows of dimensions.

1st row from the matchline - right of way to right of way

2nd row from the matchline - right of way to FOC/EOP/EOG/FOGLINE to FOC/EOP/EOG/FOGLINE to right of way

 

FOC/EOP/EOG/FOGLINE - meaning any of those 4 layers depending on the road type.

 

So ultimately the process would be:

1. Select the matchline block.

2. Prompt for scale

3. Depending on the scale create the 2 rows of dimensions the specific footage amount away, on both sides of the block

4. If selected multiple(s) of this block do a FOREACH and create dimensions at all of them.

 

Is this possible?

could you supply a before and after drawing of what it would look like

Why not simply extract the drawing's DIMSCALE instead of prompting for desired scale?

 

Hint - once you've selected the match line, you can use polar to calculate the predetermined distances from said match line, then perhaps create a line entity (vla-put-visible LineObject :vlax-false), and extract the intersection(s) for the critical layers at that offset. Delete the line when done.

 

Just a guess on my part.
