Hsanon Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Hi, was wondering if there was any routine which would automate dimensions in an architectural plan. This is present in refit, and we could have it in Autocad where we could draw a line through a floor plan and "stretch" the dimensions of all the intersecting lines to a convenient point. Thanks Quote
Dadgad Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) If I understand you correctly, without using any special code, you could use the LAYISO command, to isolate your DIMENSION layer, then use the STRETCH command to stretch all selected dimensions by the same amount. After which you would of course, use the LAYUNISO command to restore your layers to prestretch settings. Edited April 9, 2015 by Dadgad Quote
BIGAL Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 I have one but its copyrited hence no code, just pick left and right side and all dims appear for multiple walls etc, its 3 picks left right and dim position. So answer to the question is yes it can be done. Quote
Hsanon Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 BigAl you have understood it right.... Point is, is there any lead in this forum or elsewhere, where this utility is available ??? it will be a very useful time saving utility thanks Quote
BIGAL Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 The dims were auto generated. Sorry commercial in confidence. Quote

Hsanon Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 True, or maybe auto desk should add it in its express tools package. Lee had one program in his suite which had automatic dimensioning within circles and ellipses ..... Called Length between intersections. Could that be a basis for a dimensioning suite ???? My knowledge of lisp is not so great ..... It would be a fantastic drafting utility !!! Quote
Hsanon Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 Hey guys, i found one great routine which does most of the work that i needed..... Hopefully it will help others too who are in need of this utility. Sounds to me like that sort of routine should be worth some serious money! AUTODIM.lsp hope the money comes puring in Quote
Hsanon Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 The utility is not as good as i understood from BIGAL's sketch.... but it sure can be a start for an expert to improve on... Quote
