vanowm Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Hello. Is there a command that would simply measure the entity from the end it was clicked on to the user specified length and add a point at that measurement? Something like MEASURE command but with just one point. Thank you. Measure - one point.dwg Edited May 15, 2017 by vanowm brain fart, it's MEASURE command, not DIVIDE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph_map Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Look at the "FROM" object snap option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanowm Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Thank you for the reply. I meant to say "like MEASURE command" not DIVIDE... Anyhow "FROM" gets coordinate towards cursor, not along side of the entity. I've updated my original post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Using a lisp there is the VL command "getpointatdist" (setvar "osmode" 0) ; turn off snap (setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel "\nPick ")))) (setq pt (vlax-curve-getPointAtDist obj 100.0)) Note above uses start point so you need a check which end picked and then if required total length - distance from opposite end.
