Before we draw the drawers. I must tell you about the drawers. I must tell you about the sizes of the drawers, related to the width.
See the picture. The height of each drawer is 100. And below and above each drawer is a distance of 25.
The width of the drawer. The distance between a drawer and the side of the cabinet is 125. So the width is 250 less than the width of the cabinet.
The Function For Drawing The Drawers
Here is the function for drawing the drawers.
(defun drcab (pt wd nr)
(command "layer"
"m"
"cabinet"
"c"
"green"
""
""
)
(command "line" pt
(setq pt (polar pt 0 wd))
(setq pt (polar pt
(* pi 0.5)
(+ (* nr
(+ 100 25))
25)
)
)
(setq pt (polar pt pi wd))
"c"
)
)
For starters we create the CABINET layer. The color of the layer is green. So what is drawn on it, gets the color green.
Next we can draw a rectangle. The rectangle starts in the base pointy. We have set the base point as being the point 0,0.
That is important. The height of the cabinet. It is like this. Each drawer has got a height of 100. And on each side is a length of 25.
For drawing the height of the cabinet we must make a calculation. The height is the number of drawers times 100 plus 25.
Above the drawers is an additional length of 25. So after the calculation is made 25 is added to the length that has been found.
The Next Post
We have drawn the drawers. Now we can draw the handles and the dimensions. I'm going to talk about it in the next posts.

Warning Don't spend a lot of money on AutoCAD Light. It is only for creating 2D drawings and it doesn't support AutoLISP. There is a very similar CAD program. And that is completely free. The name of the program? DraftSight. How to get it? Do a search on Google for “download DraftSight”. And you will find where you can download the program. |

Only
Create Drawings When your CAD operators don't create the borders of your drawings, a lot of time is saved. You get your drawings much faster. I have created a program that does exactly that. An AutoCAD drawing has been created and the program draws a border around it. If you want to see how the program works, go to YouTube. You'll find the working of the program here: http://youtu.be/O8Zy6n9zS8Q Now the AutoLISP program gives you the choice to select the size of your border. You can select A4, A3, A2, or A1. Maybe you already know the size of the border of your drawing. Maybe all your drawings have the size A1. If so. Let me know. That is important. The program finds the proper scale of your drawing. Or do you already know what the scale always is? I can write the AutoLISP program that you want. The price? I will only charge you RM 600.-. That is less than US $ 200.-. |
