Place attributed blocks along lwpolyline length with Tharwat "CATCH PIT" lisp

Okay, thank you for all your help!

Hi Tharwat,

 

it's working, but i have found a limitation on the polyline length, if i try to use a polyline longer than 100 kilometers, it freezes the program.

This issue is something easy to work around?

Hi Cezar,

I just modified the program HERE so please try it again and let me know.

Hi Tharwat,

I have just tested it again and it does work on a 100 KM or + swpolyline! You have been of great help to me.

On this last saturday i have been working on this project and decided to supress one of the attributes, and to put some fomating on the output text, it has worked as expected, i'll post the modifications i have done to the code so you can tell me what you think of it.

I understand that the original request was for 3 attributes, not 2. But this was all i could do to work around my issue.

Thanks again for your help and pacience.

(SETQ km	(COND
			  ((= (SETQ lng (LENGTH (VL-STRING->LIST (RTOS d 2 0))))
			      1
			   )
			   (STRCAT "000+00" (SUBSTR (RTOS d 2 0) 1 1))
			  )
			  ((= lng 2) (STRCAT "000+0" (SUBSTR (RTOS d 2 0) 1 2)))
			  ((= lng 3) (STRCAT "000+" (SUBSTR (RTOS d 2 0) 1 3)))
			  ((= lng 4)
			   (STRCAT "00"
				   (SUBSTR (RTOS d 2 0) 1 1)
				   "+"
				   (SUBSTR (RTOS d 2 0) 2 3)
			   )
			  )
			  ((= lng 5)
			   (STRCAT "0"
				   (SUBSTR (RTOS d 2 0) 1 2)
				   "+"
				   (SUBSTR (RTOS d 2 0) 3 3)
			   )
			  )
			  ((= lng 6)
			   (STRCAT (SUBSTR (RTOS d 2 0) 1 3)
				   "+"
				   (SUBSTR (RTOS d 2 0) 4 3)
			   )
			  )
			) 

You are most welcome Cezar,

You can shorten your codes with the following codes.

(setq d (rtos d 2 0)
     l "")
(repeat (- 6 (strlen d)) (setq l (strcat l "0")))
(strcat (substr (strcat l d) 1 3) "+" (substr (strcat l d) 4 3))

Alternatively:

(setq d  (strcat "00000" (rtos d 2 0))
     l  (strlen d)
     km (strcat (substr d (- l 5) 3) "+" (substr d (- l 2) 3))
)

Hi Tharwat and Lee Mac,

I really liked yours suggestions, i am learning a lot from you Tharwat. And Lee Mac, i am a fan of your work too, it was your site that make me want to learn to do lisp, and it was Tharwat lisp code that answered my needs on my job. Thank you guys!

Happy to hear that Cezar, and you are welcome anytime.

Nice approach Lee.

Thanks guys
