LEE MAC layerdirector for 3d bodies

[hlammerts]

Here is a video how LM:layerdirector can be used to assign default layer to 3D operations like extrude, sweep, loft, sections, etc.

Well done, glad to see that rkent and I aren't the only ones who understand how incredibly helpful this wonderful lisp of Lee Mac's really is.

I have never assigned layer direction to my modeling commands, but use it for lots of other commands, and would be lost without it.

Thanks Lee!

 

How could anybody not find this lisp incredibly beneficial?

 

Mind boggling that the folks at Autodesk haven't given Lee a big wad of bills, and incorporated this functionality into Autocad yet.

..yet ..indeed !

'solid' Will not work that way i think..

Works fine, I just checked it.

 

One of the many things I love about this lisp, is that it creates the layers you have designated, if they don't already exist in the drawing, then returns you to whatever layer was current, before you called the reactive command. Inspired Lee!

I sure would like to thank Lee Mac for updating the code.

 

 

;; Version 1.4 - 2016-01-10

;; - Added the ability to cue a layer change following the use of a

;; custom AutoLISP command.

;; - Added Plot Style property to Layer Data list.

 

 

About the ability i was hoping that this means my custom commands can be used to follow in Layerdirector. I did not experiment with it yet but maybe the code beneith should work. This code is a need-to-use..

(defun LM:layerdirector:lispcommand ( str )

(if (wcmatch str "(C:*)") (substr str 4 (- (strlen str) 4)) str)

)

Lee Mac, I tested with some simple and more complex 3D / block routines.

This tools will help me organizing layers more quick.

I very much like using 1,2,3,4,5 for making and changing layers. Simple & effective

Use this simple 'level' approach in combination with file / xref naming for the structure

 

About version 1.4 and the ability to call custom routines.

Somehow not yet all my commands are issued at the right time.

The layerdirector should have done its works BEFORE custom commands are carried out.

It seems to me this is not allways the case.

I think if have to do some tricks or do my programming better.

 

 

Thanks for you're help anyway.
