Do an array by selecting a closed object.

Its pretty easy to select a object and create an array filling it using lisp, you need to also pick the control pt which controls the start of the array but you need also to pick a window covering the complete object so your control pt is moved correctly to say lower left, then a couple of choices erase all objects outside, trim to objects delete touching objects.

 

Post a image etc for more help.

(defun cadre()

  (setq pt1(getpoint"\nPointez premier point : "))
  (setq pt2(polar pt1 0 1220))
  (setq pt3(list(car pt2)(+(cadr pt1) 2135)))

  (command"_layer" "_n" "-LU CADRE" "_c" "5" "-LU CADRE" "")
  (command"_donut" "0" "150" pt1 "")
  (setq cir1(entlast))  
  (command"_donut" "0" "150" pt2 "")
  (setq cir2(entlast))
  (command"_pline" pt1 pt2 "")
  (setq lin1(entlast))
  
  (Command"_chprop" cir1 cir2 lin1 "" "la" "-LU CADRE" "")
  (command"_block" "lu blockt" pt1 cir1 cir2 lin1 "")
  (command"_insert" "lu blockt" pt1 "" "" "")
  (setq blockt(entlast))

)defun cadre

After looking at your drawing using array to fill is probably not the best method to use here its probably better to do a first principles and draw the scaffolding as objects maybe. I thought from your request you had lots of objects rather than a few.

Hi Bigal,

 

I do have alot of objets to put it but i'm trying to start from the beginning. those are only the frames. I also have beams to input and sometimes jacks. But an array might also not be the solution* as you say. I simply do not know what function i could use.

 

I also read about safearray but i not advanced enough to use those function.

 

I would only like to be pointed in the right derection.

 

Thanks alot for you time.

Its sounding like a program solution, you can still insert blocks same as an array but as you hint above get the program to work out spacing, search here for examples of grid programs to get an understand of multi creation of objects.
