Working with blocks

[sabaka_z33]

Is it possible to draw lines/plines/arcs, and then create a block from them using nothing but LISP?

also, to check if a block exists and insert it into the drawing?


any reference to block functions would be helpfull, i think http://home.comcast.net/~sabaka33/cool.png i can't seem to find any info on this on this website, and even google http://home.comcast.net/~sabaka33/shocked.png

Can you do it in AutoCAD? If so, probably it will be possible in AutoLisp too. To convert something to block:
(command "-block" ... ) exactly lyke in AutoCAD.
To check if a block is defined in the curent drawing use TBLSEARCH -read the help file to learn more about.

In short "Yes"

Do you to draw the line etc with lisp as well?

You can (entmake) entites as well as block table defintions. I do it all of the time. There several scenarios, each takes a bit of a different approach. -David
