Distance value -> text

June 13, 2009

Hi guys!

I need some help here.

I found my self everyday measuring distances from one basepoint to other points, and then entering distance values in the text form below the geomtry.

Is there any way you could measure distance and emediatly get an text with its value and position it where you want it.

I treied something with dimesnions, using baseline option, then exploding, but creates a lot of mess that you end up cleaning, and wich results in a lot of time loss.

heres an eg.

The text values represent the distances of red lines from the green line.

If you go to format Dimensions, you can suppress Dim Line 1, Dim Line 2, Ext Line 1 & Ext Line 2. This will give you just the dimension figure without any annoying lines and arrows.

From the looks of your image you also might want to look at Ordinate dimensions.

This thing works like mad :twisted:

Wow!!!!

Lee Mac your insane! Great stuff!

Is there any chance you could add a little more options...like text alingment (vertical or horizontal)...and maybe create second command that will work like a baseline dimension...you select a base point just once, and then every other point distance is being measured from it, to the basepoint.

One thing more that would be a great time saviour is this...see image...

You enter a default text value eg. 295,00, then run the dist2 lisp...measure dist from any point to the next one...and the measured value is being added to the base value off 295,00

You can rotate text by hitting space - or are you requesting something different here?

This shouldn't be too hard to incorporate.

I have added more security to the routine, and also incorporated a "base Elevation" option.

Could you possibly clarify your other requests.

June 15, 2009

Lee Mac this thing works like a charm! :-)

What I meant is that your first click is the base point from wich the distances are measured. After you specifed the base point, you just click other ponits that you want to meassure diestnce from the base one...Look at the picture.

Is it maybe possible that you just 2 text positions, like in the picture attched?

Ones more your the greatest! ;-)

Thanx a bunch for doing this!

Lee Mac, sorry for the delay!

It works great but it could be even faster. Can you do as follows...instead of measuring total distance from the base point, could you make it to measure only delta x, or delta y value from the base point? Im sorry for beeing picky :-(

Look at the picture it will be clear to you.

Lee Mac, you probably want to kill me now... :-)

This thing is working great and logicaly to get - or + values depending from the direction you are measuring values.

The problem is that eventhou the points that are located left from the basepoint are going to be nagative, I have to write them always as positive...yeah I know it sucks :-(

Any chance you could make them turn to absloute values so they are always positive? (you are probably mentioning my mother quite a lot by now ;-))

Its not a problem - only a minor change needed:

Lee Mac!

We still have a problem...we must make you a millionare ;-)

This is some great stuff and it will save me a bunch of time and boring editing!

But Im having a little small problem. I defined a text style I want ot use with your tool (Format-> TextStyle-> New-> and gave it a height 0f 0.4 units and font Arial. The problem is when I use your tool, with my font style active, I get the arial font style but the font height is alway 0.2 no mater what I do ( in this case a set it to 0.4). Can you help with this?

The program uses the setting of TEXTSIZE system variable - check what this variable is set at on your system

Mac youre the GREATEST! :-)

One more thing, and this is realy the last thing I will ask you to do. Is it possible that the value of distnace I get and wich is writen in text, could be multiplyed by 10 or 100. So if eg. messured distance is 4.56 the text say 45.60?

Any chance for this? If not, no problem at all!

I cant thanx you enough for doing this! :-)

June 19, 2009

No problem mate - I shall add it to the very top of the code so that you can see and change it easily

June 19, 2009

How do you know all this?

You made autocad? ;-)

Distance value -> text
