ziemerd Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Is it possible to put a center mark on multiple circles instead of one at a time? Thanks. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Have you tried? I don't have Autocad in front of me at the moment, but try it out and see if it works. Manually select some circles, or use QSELECT, and then click the center mark button and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziemerd Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Cad64 I tried your suggestion but it deselects everything when I click on Center Mark so it didn't work. mdbdesign Thanks for the LISP it worked like a charm! Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdbdesign Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Another routine draw center mark in ellipse CLE.lsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziemerd Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Well...I got the LISP to work once but now I can't remember how I did it and can't repeat it. Could you tell me what I need to do after I paste the LISP into the command line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdbdesign Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Type cce for circle lisp ( select - window all circle ) and cle for elipse. You need to load lisp once per sesion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziemerd Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Aha...I got it. I was pasting the LISP in the command line and I was typing cce but nothing was happening. Now I know. Thanks. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cad64 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Cad64 I tried your suggestion but it deselects everything when I click on Center Mark so it didn't work. Right, I just tried it and I see what you mean. Well...I got the LISP to work once but now I can't remember how I did it and can't repeat it. Could you tell me what I need to do after I paste the LISP into the command line?

ziemerd Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Thanks Cad64. This was the first LISP I'd ever used so the info on the link was a great help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwhite Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Well, if this can draw one line vertical and one line horizontal based on the hole size and position, it looks like it could be changed to draw a "proper" center mark with a line dash line, horizontal and vertical. Picky I know, but why not do it right if you're going to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I use a block to do hole circles (with center marks). (attributes too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadmando Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 You can also load the Autolisp to start -up every time you start Autocad by loading it into Start up Suite at the bottom right of the Load Lisp Dialog Box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwhite Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I use a block to do hole circles (with center marks). (attributes too) Or I have another .lsp routine that draws a "proper" center as you draw the hole, any size, no blocks. (load "holeacen"), then type holeacen at command prompt. Draws any size hole with center. HOLACEN.LSP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have done with dozens and dozens of lsp routines I have created. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD Mather Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 ...just 1 block JD? scaled on insertion to suit? No, could do it that way, but I use a limited set of fasteners, so I have a pre-sized block for each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
