MikeP Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 is there a way to do this. I guess the only way would be to "zoom objects" then plot display. but how would you do this in one command? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBox Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 At minimum, look into the vla-zoom* and either the vla-plot* ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Your asking for two comands why not 5 ? You can put together as many commands as you like in say a lisp or a script that would start from one entry. Type "plobj" one command say pick pt.......... this only extra response after command rest happens zoom c of that point at predefined scale probably ask is this ok now plot a window around that point at scale zoom extents save dwg now and so on Its really about what your trying to actually do, how are you picking object in first place is that not a 3rd command ? Even a pick would be considered as a command in response to your question. It sounds simple please provide a bit more info image etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Bethel Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Here's the way I approach it: Create a PICKSET of the objects that you wish to plot Create a PICKSET of all visible entities not selected Create a APPID (regapp "HIDE") Add XDATA to the NOT selected PICKSET entities with each entity's current layer value as a STRing Create a LAYER 'Hide' that can be frozen Change the NOT selected entities the frozen HIDE layer ZOOM / VIEW / PLOT as needed I then have a reversing function that changes any entities that have the HIDE XDATA, and CHANGE them back to their original LAYER I have a couple other scenarios that are more project specific but do the same basic things. -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Without knowing what the "objects" are its a bit hard to answer, David is thinking like me and the answer is pretty impressive like the final image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
