Perpendicular lines from points

Hello Engineers

I wish to get a help from you regarding taking measurements in between two lines.

my requirements are

Generate points at 1m

generate perpendicular lines from its base location

extend till the magenta line

give line length.

can you guys help me?

Kindly see the attachment.

Thank you.

This is known in civil engineering as Peg & shift. The code is pretty straight forward, just checking something I have.

Try this it is a start. If you want it all dimensioned etc then thats a biggger task.

thank you so much Bigul

i wish to remain the value at end or start of line, instead of displaying in a window

no need of dimensioning.

can you modify this lisp please?

thank a lot

Post an image of what you want.

Kindly see this image

The code above has been updated I will leave it to you to play with the exact text location, also not it expects text style to have height set. Put a fix in for text ht as zero you may want to change the 2.5.
