construction line

Good day

Is there a lisp for construction line...line straight in type the command for vertical/hirizontal line...

Im just being lazy typing 3 letters..

Thnaks in advance

Im just being lazy typing 3 letters..

Why stop there? Did you know it is possible to use voice recognition software to create/edit a drawing in AutoCAD? Take the ultimate step and go "hands free".

Xline vertical / horizontal can do it in 2 keystrokes and 1 mouse action. XV or XH

+1 to Halam. Type "XL" enter and select direction.

Two letters? Is that the best you can do?

I personally don't use xlines them that much I suppose. One letter keystrokes are 1,2,3 ..

I guess mind control is the next evolutionary step then?

Thats way toooo..... helpful...boinks:D

I got it to 1 like Halam

(defun c:1()(command "xline" "H" pause))
(defun c:2()(command "xline" "V" pause))

I used to have various construction line macros on a set of menu buttons,

Horizontal, vertical, both, 45 & 135 degrees, isometric (30,60,-30,-60), perpendicular to a picked line, angled, offset.

Click the button, (enter angle or offset if needed), pick your point.

Here are the macros, make your own buttons and icons.

^C^C_-layer m construct c red^M^M;_xline h

^C^C_-layer m construct c red^M^M;_xline v

^C^C_-layer m construct c red^M^M;_xline h;\^C_xline v @ ^M^C

^C^C_-layer m construct c red^M^M;_xline a 45;\^C_xline a 135 @^M^C

^C^C_-layer m construct c red^M^M;_xline a 30;\^C_xline a 60 @^M;^C_xline a -30 @^M;^C_xline a -60 @^M^C

^C^C_-layer m construct c red^M^M;_xline a r;\90;

^C^C_-layer m construct c red^M^M;_xline a

^C^C_-layer m construct c red^M^M;_xline o

...thts works...so grateful to have u guys ...thanks!!!!
