Entlast & entnext may help to mitigate that. 1+

You start the lisp with if this will only run once. changing the if to while will allow you to use the break command multiple of times with out having to type the command over and over. only draw back is if you only want to run the command once you have to right click or hit enter to exit the command. using ssget with the "_+.:E:S" acts like entsel and will only select entity's you define. eliminating the need to test the entity type. since you have the two break points defined you can use ssget with the window option to "select" that entity but could pick up other smaller unwanted items also. this is all moot because id recommend using Breakall by CAB. don't know if its on here but he posted it on theswamp.org many years ago. alot more features and error handling.

I understand (), but the rest is not very clear...

This is a bit more streamlined. ;; AutoLISP, which allows you to select objects (line, polyline, circle, arc), ;; break them at two points and replace the selected section with a dashed line with the specified parameters (defun c:Br2ptReplDash (/ SS pt1 pt2 ent entdata newent) ;while instead of if allows this command to be repated as long as you select an entity. (while (setq SS (ssget "_+.:E:S" '((0 . "LINE,POLYLINE,CIRCLE,ARC")))) ;Will emulate an entsel selection behaviour and only allows the entity types listed (progn ;no need for cond check now (setq ent (ssname SS 0)) (setq pt1 (getpoint "Select the first break point: ")) (setq pt2 (getpoint "Select the second break point: ")) Using the two points create a selection set window to pick up created break line (ssget "_W" pt1 pt2 '((0 . "LINE"))) Your entmod has to many ( ) (entmod (append newent '((8 . "0") ; the default layer '(6 . "DASHED2") ; line type '(40 . 0.25) ; thickness '(47 . 20) ; LTSCALE '(62 . 84) ; Add here instead of 2nd (entmod (append newent '((62 . 84)))) ) ) ) ;removed 2nd '(6 . "DASHED2")

few issues with the lisp. 1) The ssget does not seem to work. 2) Creating a new line between breakpoints will not work for circles as you need to create an arc. It will also not work on curved polylines. Maybe a better way to approach it, is to select the object copy it. Trim it to pt1 & pt2 and then, break the selected objected between pt1 & pt2?

I do not see any screen shots. Current Build [9.3.1.1] (The current build is always under development. It is where we add new features for testing. It's usually very stable, but may contain a few bugs.) Did you try the stable version? Stable Build [9.1.5.2] (The stable build has all the known bugs worked out, but may not be as up-to-date as the current build.) According to the response on the OpenDCL forum, those sub menus do not exist. Serious UI Failure in OpenDCL Studio - 'Options' and 'New Project' Menus are Mis As far as I can tell, AutoCAD 2021 was the first version for Windows 11, so there could be issues there.

The code should draw a dotted new line between the points, but the line is not drawn. Would it be easier to change the properties of the line between two points? Thanks... ;; AutoLISP, which allows you to select objects (line, polyline, circle, arc), ;; break them at two points and replace the selected section with a dashed line with the specified parameters (defun c:Br2ptReplDash (/ ss pt1 pt2 ent entdata newent) (setq ss (ssget '((0 .

Even if you create MTEXT objects without referencing any other object, they will still have some kind of arbitrary geometry. You could establish a rule that the perimeter points are always entered in a clockwise order This would allow the code to have the necessary criteria to determine what is inside and outside the perimeter. Additionally, the code could dynamically draw a perimeter based on each insertion point specified by the user. As a convention for these temporary perimeters, you could assign them a specific, distinct color. All of this could later allow you to write code for another command that manages these perimeters and their associated MTEXT objects, and then replaces them with the final, definitive version.

@GLAVCVS You are absolutely correct. Ideally the user will select the polyline which represents a house and we calculate to place the text outside. However, we do not always get the building outline from the architects as a single polyline and I do not wish to spent time creating that polyline (for now). So I am focusing on at least having the correct Left/Right justification.... Unless I use something similar to LeeMacs Text Alignment Controls https://www.lee-mac.com/curvealignedtext.html . But at the moment this is slightly over my head for now. However, we could solve this issue without taking in consideration of geometry and take a similar approach to how you set the UCS, by selecting 3 points. p1-TextPlacement p2-Text Left & Right Justification based on p1 p3-Text Top & Right Justification based on p1 & p2 Would that work?

Hello everyone, I'm new to OpenDCL and I'm having a very strange issue with my installation. The OpenDCL Studio interface is not displaying correctly, which is preventing me from getting started. **The Problem:** Key menu items are completely missing. 1. In the "Tools" menu, the "Options..." item is missing. 2. In the "File > New" menu, the "Project" option is missing, so I cannot create a new project. **My System Information:** - Operating System: Windows 11 - AutoCAD Version: AutoCAD 2020 (English) - OpenDCL Version: 9.3.1.1 **What I've already tried without success:** - A complete uninstall/reinstall of OpenDCL. - Rebooting the PC. - Trying both the Spanish (ESM) and the main English installers. In all cases, the result is exactly the same. I have attached screenshots showing the missing menu items. Has anyone seen this fundamental issue before or have any ideas what might be causing this conflict on my system? I know this forum is for general LISP, but I'm hoping someone here might have run into this OpenDCL issue before. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

New answer, when you draw a pline did you know you can pick start point, drag mouse for next point, BUT type in length no need for "L". Tested seems to work ok in original code. Starting point of Mleader Enter to stop : : _pline Select start of polyline or [Follow] <Last point>: Set next point or [draw Arcs/Distance/Follow/Halfwidth/Width]: 50 Set next point or [draw Arcs/Distance/Follow/Halfwidth/Width/Undo]: 75 Set next point or [draw Arcs/Close/Distance/Follow/Halfwidth/Width/Undo]: 100 Set next point or [draw Arcs/Close/Distance/Follow/Halfwidth/Width/Undo]: Existing length is 225 Enter new length 220 Enter label AAA Ok fixed the defun code, its messages may have been misleading. (defun plpts ( / pt) (command "_pline" (getpoint "\nStarting point of Mleader : ")) (while (= (getvar "cmdactive") 1 ) (command (getpoint (getvar 'lastpoint))) ) )

@rlx will definitely have a look at it, your dcl stuff is great. One thing you can do is unzip a zip file using lisp, so could have all the files and a DAT file and save them to a known directory, as part of my Install.lsp it adds the support paths and load the toolbar. The reason for comment was I used CIV3D so I had a custom menu that had often used Civ3D commands, this saved having to change workspaces. You just have to open the CUI and copy the commands to say notepad.

Ok simple maybe I didn't use the "L" option rather, just pick 2 3 or 4 points. I can change it pretty quick to just convert a pline. A quick fix change the three lines in the code. ;;;;;;;; starts here ;(plpts) ;(setq ent (entlast)) (setq ent (car (entsel "\nPick a pline "))) Will do the front end later today. Set text size etc. Do you want a dogleg ?

you're absolutely right GLAVCVS , took out too much when I cleaned out some obsolete code. Usually I forget the 'void' function but paid special attention I didn't this time. At the expense of rlx_sf this time so it seems.

Hi @rlx Is it possible that you forgot to include some functions that are called from your code? For example, 'rlx_sf'?

Hi I'm having trouble reconciling my understanding of your question with what I see in the example drawing. The square: doesn't it also play a role in determining the text justification? That is to say: if you select the upper right corner of the square and then specify a horizontal angle to the left, the justification should be bottom right. However, if you do the same thing starting from the lower right corner of the square, the MTEXT justification should be top right. Therefore, the idea seems to be that the MTEXT should always be positioned outside the square. Is this correct? In this case, the MTEXT angle criterion alone is not sufficient; it's also necessary to consider the object to which it refers. If all of this is correct, we would need to write a function that analyzes the geometry of the object the MTEXT refers to and determines the justification, taking the angle into account as well.

Sorry to hear that; I didn't know. Agree it's better to test if you have the data needed before entmake* functions. If you're wanting to get CAD back, consider joining AUGI as Pro members get a free ADN (Autodesk Developer Network) membership, which would give you any Autodesk product to use for development. https://www.augi.com/adn-membership-offer Cheers

Don't have cad anymore to test this things and cant remember if you could throw an if statement inside the entmakex function.

Seems a good start. Here is what I get when running it...

This is way closer works for 2, 3 & 4 points may be able to add more. version 2 will add the Multi getvals dcl for arrow, text height and length. just proof of concept, its length is still off by a little bit may add a fuzz factor to get closer. ;m Draw a spline mleader mwith a length ; By AlanH Setp 2025 ; Not quite true length but close.

After you account for '; error: too few arguments:'... Might also consider a single < comparer for limiting this to positive X quadrants, a neither 0 or pi check for all quadrants, etc: (if (and rot (< 0 rot pi)) ;check rotation angle (setq x 1) (setq x 7) ) (if (and rot (/= 0 rot) (/= pi rot)) ;check rotation angle (setq x 1) (setq x 7) ) (setq x (if (and rot (/= 0 rot) (/= pi rot)) ;check rotation angle 1 7 ) )

This would create a text with top left just if the rotation angle is between 0 and 180 else it will be Bottom left. (defun create-level-mtext (pt1 rot / mtext-obj) (if (and rot (> rot 0) (< rot pi)) ;check rotation angle (setq x 1) (Setq x 7) ) (setq mtext-obj (entmakex (list (cons 0 "MTEXT") (cons 100 "AcDbEntity") (cons 8 (getvar "CLAYER")) ; Current layer (cons 100 "AcDbMText") (cons 10 pt1) ; Insertion point (cons 40 0.5) ; Text height (adjust as needed) (cons 41 0.0) ; Reference rectangle width (cons 71 x) ; Attachment point (Top Left) (cons 72 5) ; Drawing direction (cons 1 (strcat "+" (rtos level-value 2 3))) ; Text content with "+" prefix (cons 50 rot) ; Rotation angle ) ) ) mtext-obj )

Hi, This might have been resolved before. But has anyone wrote a lisp or function that calculates the text anchor point based on the rotation of the text? Currently I have a lisp that will prompt the user to select FFL and then will calculate 150mm drop and prompt the user to select point to insert the text and second point to specify angle. I want to push it a step further and add a function to calculate the correct text anchor point which this should be done using the angle (i.e. if pt1X > pt2X & pt1Y>pt2Y then MtextJustify=BottomLeft). I appreciate that when Angle is 0 or 180 the justification in regards to Top & Bottom (Ignoring Left or Right) cannot be calculate due to the angle being zero, which I dont mind.
