Display the Area by Picking Rectangle

[structo]

Hi All..

I need lisp routine by Clicking Two Diagonal corners like Rectangle, After finished picking need to display that rectangle area result at Command line. and disappear the drawn rectangle.

Procedure for executing lisp is 1. Pick point 1
2.Pick at Final corner point 2
3. And Displays the Rectangle area result at Command line & Disappear drawn the rectangle.

Kindly help me. i have to check the areas between different points.

Area on the fly.

(defun c:aof (/ 1p 2p)
  ;; aof =  Area on the fly.	;;
  (and (setq 1p (getpoint "\nSpecify base point : "))
       (setq 2p (getcorner "\nOpposite point : " 1p))
       (princ (* (distance 1p (list (car 2p) (cadr 1p))) (distance 2p (list (car 2p) (cadr 1p))))
       )
  )
  (princ)
)

Thank you very much, As said it is Area on fly   Is it Possible?  same Area result at command  line can we see also  length =   , Width =

Here is another version posted over at AUGI. Look at Tharwat code and have a go.

 

Can get the 4 points of the rectang then use Tharwat code and modify the Alert shown here. 

 

(defun c:2ptarea ( / obj )
(command "rectang" (getpoint "pick p1 then drag") pause)
(setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (entlast)))
(alert (strcat "area is " (rtos (vla-get-area obj))))
(command "erase" "l" "")
(princ)
)

(setq co-ord (mapcar 'cdr (vl-remove-if-not '(lambda (x) (= (car x) 10)) (entget (entlast)))))
(setq 
p1 (nth 0 co-ord)
p2 (nth 1 co-ord)
p3 (nth 2 co-ord)
p4 (nth 3 co-ord)
)

 

Ps have a go 1st, I have it solved and happy to compare.

(defun c:aof (/ 1p 2p wd ht)
  ;; aof =  Area on the fly.	;;
  (and (setq 1p (getpoint "\nSpecify base point : "))
       (setq 2p (getcorner "\nOpposite point : " 1p))
       (setq wd (distance 1p (list (car 2p) (cadr 1p)))
             ht (distance 2p (list (car 2p) (cadr 1p)))
       )
       (princ (strcat "\nWidth = " (rtos wd 2 4) " Height = " (rtos ht 2 4) " Area = " (rtos (* wd ht) 2 4)
              )
       )
  )
  (princ)
)

With visual drag box.

 

(defun c:2ptarea ( / co-ord x y )
(command "rectang" (getpoint "pick p1 then drag") pause)
(setq co-ord (mapcar 'cdr (vl-remove-if-not '(lambda (x) (= (car x) 10)) (entget (entlast)))))
(setq 
p1 (nth 0 co-ord)
p2 (nth 1 co-ord)
p3 (nth 2 co-ord)
p4 (nth 3 co-ord)
)
(setq x (abs(- (car p1)(car p2))))
(setq Y (abs (- (cadr p1)(cadr p4))))
(setq parea (* x y))
(alert (strcat "area is " (rtos parea 2 2)  " Length is " (rtos X 2 2)  " Height is " (rtos Y 2 2)))
(command "erase" "l" "")
(princ)
)

                          '(0 0) (vlax-get obj 'delta)
                          )

Font style in command line?

0 acFontRegular

1 acFontItalic

2 acFontBold

3 acFontBoldItalic

 

(vla-put-textfontstyle
  (vla-get-display (vla-get-preferences (vlax-get-acad-object)))
  acFontBold ;2 
)

p/s: BCAD
; error : Automation Error E_NOTIMPL; [IAcadPreferencesDisplay] function [TEXTFONTSTYLE] not implemented yet

Structo the idea behind using Alert rather than  princ is that it pops up in front of you no need to look down on command line.

[structo]

hi hanhphuc,

 

I dont want Entire command line in bold style, after executing lisp, result should be in bold style.

Is not a good practice. alert as BIGAL easier

(defun c:tt ()

;;<snippet>

;;acFontBold <-- refer to previous snippet
  (getstring "\nEnter to continue.. ")
;;acFontRegular 

(princ)
)

 

i prefer

 

   ( grtext -1 "AREA= xxx " )

Pbe its posted elsewhere as well, and in other post wants Area, Length & Height. Think it was forums/Autodesk.
