How to use Wire Copy (AECOPYWIRENO / WD_COPY_WN) in LISP

[NicholasCAD]

(Hopefully this Question has not been asked. The Search gave no Results.)

 

For Context:

I have created a Program that generates a complex Component (Block, Wiring, Text) onto a Sheet.

The Program uses .LSP and .DCL for ease of Use for our Operators.

The Prompt has Options to configure the Component to any Options we need.

 

Inquiry:

I need to update the Program to include Wire Numbers and Wire Number Copies.

(I will be trying to use "WD_PUTWNXY" Command for New Wire Networks, although I have yet to do so.)

For Wire Number Copies, I was hoping to use either the "AECOPYWIRENO" or "WD_COPY_WN" Commands.

The Problem with these Commands is that they do not allow for Coordinate Placement.

When running either Command, the Command Line is requesting to select a Wire as an Entity.

 

 

What I would like, is an example of a LISP that completes this Task using a Coordinate System to select and place the Wire Number Copies.

 

 

 

 

Any Advice would be much appreciated!

Have you looked at SNAP and GRID when picking points.

I am not sure what you mean. The copywn Commands ask for an Entity.

It would be alot easier to be able to specify a Pick Point.

When using these Commands manually, the  Cursor acts as the Locator for where the Copy will be placed. However, while using the Commands in LISP, I have not been able to use Coordinates.

Did you look at how SNAP works set a value you will see mouse jump as you move, say 10. Set Grid to same value.

BIGAL, are you Sea-Haven on Autodesk Forums? You have the same Profile Pic. If so, refer to my post here. 

 

Essentially this has to do with a Program that Auto Generates a Schematic Sheet in a Drawing Project. This does not use Manual User Input to select the Wire that needs a Copy Wire Number Block.
