Extracting lengths to mtext above the line and incrementing values for pipe structure


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi everyone,

 

I am a freshman here and couldn't find if this kind of thread was posted earlier or not.

 

I work with infrustructures (water pipes, sewage pipes, wells etc.). I am looking for TWO similar things. Every time I need to name the pipe structures (well), I just simply put single text for each structure. (F1-2, F1-3, F1-4...).

 

How could I simply put these values on each structure by one button click, but with a different (incrementing) value?

 

Another thing is that I also need to put attributes for diameter of a pipe and the lenght of it.

Is it possible to do it by one button click?

 

 

Big thanks to all of you in advance!!

Perhaps take a look at this (or this for existing text).

Is the pipe a 3D object?

Look into getting Autodesk Civil 3D (or almost any other civil design package for that matter), it does what you describe above.

Well, the drawing is this.

And the thing I am looking for is - putting the text block over the top of "F1" line (Brown color) that shows me the length and diameter of it between two structures "F1-179A" and "F1-180" by one-click method. This is pline. Is it possible in AutoCAD LT 2010?

 

The text block could be something like the text in blue on top of the picture. "D125 L=57.40 m"

Not using LISP unless you are running an extender. Standard LT cannot run LISP.
