Introduction
In my last two posts I was talking about an AutoLISP program that works with a dialog box. But you can work with AutoLISP.
Here is another AutoLISP program that does the same. It works with a dialog box and you can perform an AutoLISP action.
The program is not from me. I found it on the web site of AfraLISP. This is their web site:
http://www.afralisp.com/
On the web site you can find a lot of information. There you find free AutoLISP programs and also AutoLISP tutorials.
How The AutoLISP Program Works
As the AutoLISP program starts, the following dialog box is displayed:
There is a button with the label “Pick Point<”. The user can click on that button and pick a point in the screen.
As the user is picking a point, the dialog box is no longer displayed. After a point has been picked, the dialog box is displayed again.
This is how the dialog box may look. You will see that the X value, the Y value, and the Z value of the point is displayed in the dialog box.
Next Post
This is the first post about another AutoLISP program that works with a dialog box. In the next post I'm going to talk about AutoLISP and DCL.

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://www.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.-. |
