JamFam Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'm working with Autocad 2011. My objective is to create a dynamic block made up of a circle with a letter or number inside. Here's the tricky part. As I add additional letters or numbers the circle increases in diameter automatically to fully encircle whatever it is I type. The more letters or numbers the larger the circle and the fewer the letters or numbers the smaller the circle? Can you help? Or is there a lisp routine for this type of request? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinprakoso Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Dynamic block can't just resize object automatically. It needs user interaction. You can scale the circle using scale action, but it won't be automatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph_map Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Take a look at the Express tool named "Tcircle" it will draw a circle around text no matter what length the text is. Also let you use a rectangle and more options as to the offset and etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_Taylor Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 If the dimensional constraints can pick up nodes on the text you may be able to add a dimensional constrain there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamFam Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 I like the T circle command if that's the best anyone can come up with.Hi Mike. I'm not following you, sorry. Please explain further. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
