Distance from given reference

Recommended Posts

Hello guys!

I am trying to get the distance from one point to another, then add it to the given reference as part of a text in the drawing. (The text format is "Ref. 364.80", for example).

I have searched over the other topics and this is what I found:

and

 

 

Also, my drawings are all scaled 1:100, so the distance must be divided by 10 before adding the reference cote.

 

Here is the screenshot:

Thank you!

This is what you want it is metric.

Look at the code and make a new function, you know the datum XY and RL 133.0 you know the scale so the distance is add to datum the difference * scale etc, if you enter a chainage can work out a X offset point from say 0.0 line. You have the Y value so draw circle etc. 

 

Have a think about the select sequence,

datum point

datum rl text

0.0 line maybe use as datum point

Need Hor and Ver scales.

 

Have a go a good learning exercise the Surface rl.lsp has all the code you need. Make a copy of it and start there.
