premph Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 I have a 2d survey drawing on which the survey detail points have been given text annotation giving a z value. I need to amend each text value by a specified set value in order to relate them to ordnance datum. Is there a lisp routine that will do this to avoid having to edit each individually as there are several hundred items to be edittrd. Quote
Tyke Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 We do this with a VBA module. I would need to translate from German into English. If you don't find an English version I'll modify mine for you. Quote
ReMark Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 You want to add a fixed value to every elevation then use a lisp routine called TextInc (for Text Increment). After loading the routine the user types INC to start it. Ask and it shall be given unto thee. TextInc.lsp Quote
premph Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 I could not find an english version and so would be most grateful if you could let me have a translation of your version. Quote
Tyke Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Haven't you tried out the lisp routine from ReMark yet? I take it you are located in the UK, if so, in the lisp routine they talk of "station" in which they mean chainage. The lisp routine will add a constant to all text selected so it would help you to be able to easily select your text, eg. have just your levels on a single layer, make it current and freeze all other layers. When you run the lisp routine you can select your levels with a window. Quote
ccowgill Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 This txtinc seems a little more advanced It may give you a few more options to what you want. Quote
premph Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 Just tried the textinc.lsp routine and it works!!! Thanks everyone Premph Quote
