Scale objects along 1 axis - Page 3

Don't be too pissed, cause it's "._fillet" anyway

.

But to be honest, I'm really happy and wanted to thank you for all your help, Alan.

The order _. or ._ does not matter.

You are quite welcome

What are the bugs with XYZ? You never gave a response after I posted the link to the subroutine.

Oh yes, i did give response, right after you posted your gif animation. Quote:

Hi Alan, thanks, but don't be too bored:

Code:

 
Befehl: xyzObjekte wählen: 1 gefundenObjekte wählen:Specify base point:Geometry factor to scale [X/Y/Z]: xError: no function definition: AT:INSERTBLOCK

Gefunden means found.

LoL
I responded to that like 8 hours ago.

Ah, ok, that was when I was in trouble at work.

So I copy&paste both your xyz.lisp and insertblock somewhere into my general acad.lisp?

Got to go to sleep now, it's past 23:00 round here an I got to get up tomorrow. Good night!

Just stick it in the same .lsp file as XYZ.

It's 5pm here.

Yes, you do. Just input the reference and the new length, no need to find the scale factor. It will be more complicated to find the scale factor if it's not an integer and you'll get imprecision dimension (just like your values).

"It's 5pm here." So you mean 17:00 ?

Going to try your routine asap. And it's now half past three and seven minutes in the afternoon.

Concerning precision: If I have to measure and re-enter my values, I get the precision problem right there. Or how many decimals am I supposed to enter? And in your example - it doesn't seem to make much any differnece whether I enter "1" and "2" or "2" and "4". In short: it would be great if your routine would reference.

I put something together with what information I had. It scales the X,Y,Z values based on distance provided, you can pick a distance. As far as referencing, give it a shot.

Sorry Alan, misunderstanding, the answer about precision went to ica-cici. His routine (fit.lsp) works quite well with staircases, where I know the old and the new length exactly. - I already saw that your xyz.lsp had a reference mode, but I still had no time adding the insertblock-function and trying. I also have the "strange" rotated text example ready, but always someone working on my internet computer at work (I prefer a standalone machine for my work for safety reasons).
