berylcorp Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'm an electrical engineer. I'm using AutoCad LT 2007, so I understand I may not be able to do this. I have two object, such as circles, and they are a certain distance apart. It does not matter. I have an object/text between them that does not fit between them. I cannot scale the inside object as it has to be the same size as the others of it's kind. I would like to take the two circles and put a greater distance between them. In other words I want there distance to go from, say, 5 units to 10 units without moving the center point of the two objects. I was thinking something similar to: select the two objects, select the midpoint of the two objects, and enter the command to change the distance between them. Almost like a stretch command out from a center point, but with two objects. I can find the center point of the two objects, that's no problem. If you need more clarification let me know. This is the way I do it now, and I'm trying to find a quicker way to improve my AutoCad skills. Select the object on the right and move it right a certain distance, then select the left object and move it left the same distance. It works, it's just slow. Thanks for the help. ,Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Which is the result you're after, 2 or 3 or neither? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_O'neill Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Since LT doesn't support Autolisp, I don't know of any way to do that in LT07 besides what you are doing. If you were in the full version, one of the lisp gurus could write a program to do that pretty quick i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berylcorp Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 @Nestly The result I was looking for would resemble #2. That is a good example. @Jack_O'neill I was expecting that, but I figured there is no harm in asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Grip editting with polar tracking on might be a bit faster than using "MOVE". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
