Working Point Lisp

Hey guys,

 

I'm trying to make a lisp where the user would pick a point in the model and the lisp would create a multileader in paperspace with the coordinates pulled from the model.

 

Here's the code I got so far:

 

 (defun c:test (/ WorkingPoint Easting Northing Point)
 (command
   "_.mspace"
   );;end command
 (setq WorkingPoint (getpoint "\nWhere is Working Point?: "))
 (setq Northing (cadr WorkingPoint));;set "y" value of WorkingPoint to Northing
 (setq Easting (car WorkingPoint));;set "x" value of WorkingPoint to Easting
 (command
   "_.point" WorkingPoint
   );;end command
 (setq point (entlast));;set the workingpoint to point
 (command
   "_.chspace" point "" ""
   );;end command
 (setq pspaceworkingpoint (entget point))
 (setq mleaderinspt (list (car pspaceworkingpoint)(cadr pspaceworkingpoint)))
 (princ mleadinspt)
 );;end defun

 

Whenever I run this, for the "mleaderinspt" variable I get

 

nilnil

 

What I want to do is create the multileader insert point where the user picked the original working point but I'm having a hard time translating that to the paperspace.

 

Please note I haven't added error checking yet as this is still in the developmental phase/proof of concept.

 

Any and all help is appreciated.

 

Thanks!

 

EDIT: Think I figured it out, I'll update this thread if it works.

Ok so here is where I'm at:

 

(defun c:test (/ WorkingPoint Easting Northing Point)
 (command
   "_.mspace"
   );;end command
 (setq WorkingPoint (getpoint "\nWhere is Working Point?: "))
 (setq Northing (cadr WorkingPoint));;set "y" value of WorkingPoint to Northing
 (setq Easting (car WorkingPoint));;set "x" value of WorkingPoint to Easting
 (command
   "_.point" WorkingPoint
   );;end command
 (setq point (entlast));;set the workingpoint to point
 (command
   "_.chspace" point "" ""
   );;end command
 (setq pspacepoint (entget point))
 (setq pspace (cdr (assoc 10 pspacepoint)))
 (command
   "_.mleader" pspace "@10,-10" "WORKING POINT N "
   )
 );;end defun

 

I'm having a problem getting the multileader to input the text... the typical format we use is:

 

WORKING POINT

N: XXXXX

E: XXXXX

 

I don't know how to get it to display like this... thoughts? I tried to use "strcat" but it won't accept integers from my research.

 

Also the coordinates that do come out, come out something like this "2.485834611853077E+005" and I just need it to be "248583.46", any ideas on how to remedy this as well?

 

Thanks!

I figured something out that'll work for now, the formatting is a little off but the user can fix it (and will probably need to to name the working point) by editing the leader.

 

(defun c:test (/ WorkingPoint Easting Northing Point PSPACEPOINT PSPACE TEXT TEXTPROPS COORD)
   (command
   "_.mspace"
   );;end command
 (setq WorkingPoint (getpoint "\nWhere is Working Point?: "))
 (setq Northing (rtos (cadr WorkingPoint) 2 1));;set "y" value of WorkingPoint to Northing
 (setq Easting (rtos (car WorkingPoint) 2 1));;set "x" value of WorkingPoint to Easting
 (command
   "_.point" WorkingPoint
   );;end command
 (setq point (entlast));;set the workingpoint to point
 (command
   "_.chspace" point "" "";;this brings the workingpoint set in the modelspace to paperspace
   );;end command
 (setq pspacepoint (entget point));;get the properties for point
 (setq pspace (cdr (assoc 10 pspacepoint)));;find the x&y coords and set to pspace
 (COMMAND
   "mTEXT" PSPACE "@20,-20" "WORKING POINT" "N:"NORTHING "E:"EASTING ""
   );;END COMMAND
    (setq text (entlast));;set mtext to variable text
    (setq textprops (entget text));;get the properties from text
    (setq coord (cdr (assoc 1 textprops)));;find the string properties and set to coord
    (command
   "_.mleader" pspace "@10,-10" coord
   "_.erase" point text ""
   );;END COMMAND
 );;end defun
