How can I modify this code to allow me to select a base point as basis?

April 27, 2023

I currently have been using this code:

(defun c:DLA ( / sel ent txp al ar mp uALR s txpp uvt tp exss exssent exssl exssindex)
	
	(defun deg2rad (ang / )
	  (/ (* PI ang) 180.0)
	)

	(defun rad2deg ( ang / )
	  (/ (* 180.0 ang) PI)
	)

	;; midpoint of 2 given points
	(defun mid ( pt1 pt2 / )
	  (mapcar '(lambda (x y) (+ (* 0.5 x) (* 0.5 y)))
	  pt1
	  pt2
	  )
	)
	
	;;;  Calculate unit vector of vector a 
	(defun uvec 
	  (a / d)
	  (setq	d (distance '(0 0 0) a)
		a (mapcar '/ a (list d d d))
	  )
	)
	
	; Compute the dot product of 2 vectors a and b
	(defun dot ( a b / dd)
	  (setq dd (mapcar '* a b))
	  (setq dd (+ (nth 0 dd) (nth 1 dd) (nth 2 dd)))
	)					;end of dot  

	  (princ "\nInput Desired Distance: ")
	  (setq dist (getreal))
	  
	  (princ "\nSelect Dimension(s) To Change: ")  
	  
		(setq exss (ssget '((0 . "*dim*"))))                           
		(setq exssl (sslength exss))                                   
		(setq exssindex 0) 
		
		(repeat exssl                                                    
			(setq exssent (entget (ssname exss exssindex)))              

			 (setq ent (cdr (car exssent)))                                 
			 (setq txp (cdr (assoc 10 (entget ent))))
			 (setq al (cdr (assoc 13 (entget ent))))
			 (setq ar (cdr (assoc 14 (entget ent))))

			 (setq mp (mapcar '/
						 (mapcar '+ al ar)
				 '(2. 2. 2.)
				 )
			 )

			; uALR = unit vector from al to ar
			(setq uALR (uvec (mapcar '- ar al)))
			(setq s (dot uALR (mapcar '- txp al)))
			
			; txpp = projection of txp onto the line    
			(setq txpp
				   (mapcar '+ al (mapcar '* uALR (list s s s)))
			)
			
			(setq uvt (uvec (mapcar '- txp txpp)))
			(setq tp (mapcar '+ mp (mapcar '* uvt (list dist dist dist))))
			
			(entmod
			  (subst (cons 10 tp) (assoc 10 (entget ent)) (entget ent))
			)
			
			(entmod
			  (subst (cons 11 tp) (assoc 11 (entget ent)) (entget ent))
			)

			 
			 (setq exssindex (+ exssindex 1))     
		)
		
	(princ)
)

However, this somehow messes up when there are selected dimension lines that are not level with each other. Please see the attached images.

Before:

During usage of DLA:

Actual Output: As you can see the dim lines with value of 511 are not inline with the 200mm distanced dimension lines of 464.

Desired Output: should be the image below where you can see the the 464 dim lines are at 200mm.

Is there a way that after the "select objects" prompt that there will be a "select base point" prompt which will be the basis to adjust all dim lines to the inputted distance. Or as long as there is a way to achieve the desired output.

Do you know for QDIM command?

April 27, 2023

Ok I am sure already suggested this somewhere. I do not plan on fixing the dims rather just make them what you want 1st go.

This is vertical dim to the right 200 offset from the 2nd pick point. NOTE 2ND point.

(defun c:dr200 ( / pt1 pt2)
(while (setq pt1 (getpoint "\nPick 1st point "))
  (setq pt2 (getpoint "\nPick point 2 "))
  (command "dim" "ver" pt1 pt2 (mapcar '+ pt2 (list 200.0 0.0 0.0)) "" "exit")
)
(princ)
)

You want to learn lisp so your task is, the extra defuns, Left, top and bottom the last 2 are hor dims, a hint. Look at "list" in code (list X Y Z) for offsets.

Thanks for the clues, I got it

  (command "dim" "hor" pt1 pt2 (mapcar '+ pt2 (list 0.0 -200.0 0.0)) "" "exit")
)
(princ)
)

Questions:
1. Is there a way to make this command dynamic by asking user to select with mouse which direction (top, bot, left, right)?
2. Is there really a way to make this code be an adjustment type of tool, like what I mentioned in this thread?

If you don't need the dimensions to be at that specific spot, I've already released the program Align To Direction that can align the dimensions to any direction you wish. But if not, I can probably adjust the program to suit.

In response to your question 1, have a look at using initget and getkword, this will give you a good start.

Thanks! I didn't even notice that there were a list of other programs in https://www.cadtutor.net/forum/files/category/1-programs-and-scripts/ if you didn't link your program, great!

Is it possible to make a variation that would allow the user to select dim line(s) then still have the "specify alignment direction" option but instead of having infinite elasticity in that direction, only limit it to 200mm?

BTW, this was the result when I used it in the sample.dwg, somehow 3 of the other dim lines were not adjusting correctly.

1. 2.

3. 4.

The ones labelled 511 and 501 are horizontal dimensions as opposed to vertical dimensions, so of course the result would be as shown in your result. It is a different case than the original post after all.

As for one of the dimensions labelled 464, you have the property of the text movement set to "Move text, add leader". The program simply moves the texts, so you may want to change that to "Keep dim line with text", as shown below.

With regards to the restricted distance, I will integrate your idea, much like the OFFSET command. I'll let you know when I'm done.

Can the current ATD function be modified for horizontal dims as well?

Thanks, I will surely wait for the modified ATD for restricted distance

EDIT:
Can the option of allowing Osnap to work too after selecting which direction (when dim line is elastic and selecting till where to align) be possible?

As is seen that I have endpoint oSnap turned on but it doesn't appear.

Are you saying that you want the horizontal dimension to "rotate" to be a vertical dimension? If so, it's possible, but it's out of the scope of the original intention of the program. I will not modify the program to go off scope. It's purely for the intention of aligning every "point" along a direction.

It's possible, but I opt that out since it can lag quite a lot when working with drawings containing many objects of high density. Originally it's not possible, but with Lee Mac's help, it's doable. I'll implement the distance restriction feature, and then setting a distance of 0 should work similar to snapping.

Hi Jonathan, is there an update with the distance of 0 snapping etc?

This works great, but I don't know why there is an extra "0" tho.

I am also trying to make it dynamic by combining it into one d200 function, the code below allows me to pick points and all but doesn't accept DB, DT, etc. and always says invalid keyword.

	(setq j 0)
	(setq direction (getkword "\nEnter offset direction [DR/DB/DL/DT]: "))
	
	(cond
	
	((= direction "DR")
	(setq offset 200.)
	(setq pt3 (list (+ (car (vl-sort lst2 '>)) offset) (cadr (car lst)))))

	(setq offset 200.)
	(setq pt3 (list (car (car lst)) (- (car (vl-sort lst2 '<)) offset))))

	(setq pt3 (list (- (car (vl-sort lst2 '<)) offset) (cadr (car lst)))))

	(setq offset -200.)
	(setq pt3 (list (car (car lst)) (+ (cadr (car (vl-sort lst2 '>))) offset))))
	
	(T (princ "\nInvalid direction. Please try again.") (setq offset nil))
	)

	(if offset

Thinking about pick points work out a average angle between points so auto L R U D. Just need time. eg right is 225-315 degrees from Y axis.
