Grrr Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hi, I'm looking for lisp to dimension quickly a facade contours and openings in a plan view. The facade is represented by a pline with different segments. I have an idea how the lisp should work, but I don't have the skills to write it. Here's an example pictures: dimension PLINE.rar Note that I already found that "pline dimensioning" lisp, but thats not the result I'm looking for since I need to align all the dimensions and delete the redundant ones. Heres the following steps it should contain: 1. Select pline for dimensioning (get both ends and inner vertexes) 2. Specify the position for the dimensions (ORTHO mode is on, draw the dimension (theres 4 possible directions according from the selected pline) and split it) I hope I'll find someone dedicated to write it.

marko_ribar Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Have you heard for QDIM command ? Try it, just set extension lines to suppressed, and choose adequate arrow style... HTH, M.R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko_ribar Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 You're welcome, Grrr... If you're to get overall dimensions beside dimension line with each vertex dimensioned, just create bounding box from pline and QDIM bounding box... At the end, remove bounding box... BBOX.lsp can be found here : http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?68881-How-to-create-boundary-box-with-spline-entity/page5&p=#47 Regards, M.R.

Grrr Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 I also found that BBOX.lsp is useful for arraying the different type of dimensioning on all 4 sides of my plan view (I just offset the box several times and align my different types of dimensions). Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
