Enter a value after DView Twist, then go to UCS View...

hi all,

as the title says, i would like to be able to continue a simple lisp i have for DView TWist so that i can enter the twist angle and then have the crosshairs automatically revert to UCS View.

i have two very simple parts to this (i am by no means Dr Lisp!!) and would really appreciate some help on how to link the two, or if this is not possible.

ideally, there would be a sort of wildcard like * that means the user inputs a value - much like "" represents ENTER, but as i say, i dont really know what i am doing...

here is where i am so far:

1. DView TWist:

(defun c:DVT() (command "DVIEW" "" "TW"))

2. UCS View is just

(defun c:UV() (command "ucs" "V"))

3. got this from AutoDesk

(defun c:AskForInteger ( / )

(setq int (getint "\nEnter an integer: "))

 

(if int

(prompt (strcat "\nUser entered: " (itoa int)))

(prompt "\nUser did not provide an integer.")

)

(princ)

)

thank you.

Try this macro:

^C^C_dview;all;;tw;\;^P(progn(setvar "snapang" (- (getvar "viewtwist")))(princ)) 

Pick or enter the twist angle when prompted and it automaticly sets the snap angle horizontal afterwards.

We're glad to help, but following the Code Posting Guidelines helps us help you.

The # symbol in the Toolbar above as you're posting is to wrap

 tags around text.  This makes them easier to read within posts by making them distinct from other text.  It helps those who may want to copy and paste the code.  It also helps to save space because code blocks get a scroll bar beyond a certain number of lines.
 
Most forums use [code] tags, this site's Toolbar makes it easier that most.

okay, i will read the code posting guidelines before i post again.
