Kind of defeats the object of the forum though of sharing knowledge so that those who need or want to learn from others can do so from those who want to share their code freely. A locked LISP file is great for a finished project but... useless otherwise really. Often the threads are asking for assistance with a snippet of a larger project, and to lock it away doesn't help. Basic manners helps, credit the code where credit is due, a link to the original codes so that others can read and learn.

Am I too late for this party? Anyway, here's my try: (defun c:fibonacci() (setq pi2 (/ PI 2.0) as0 (cons 0 "line") col '(62 . 3)) (defun fib(ins dir dim) (entmake (list as0 (cons 10 ins) (cons 11 (setq p2 (polar ins (- dir pi2) dim))))) (entmake (list as0 (cons 10 p2) (cons 11 (setq p3 (polar p2 dir dim))))) (entmake (list as0 (cons 10 p3) (cons 11 (setq p4 (polar p3 (+ dir pi2) dim))))) (entmake (list (cons 0 "ARC") (cons 10 p4) (cons 40 dim) (cons 50 (- dir pi)) (cons 51 (- dir pi2)) col)) (setq dir (+ dir pi2)) ) (setq a 1 b 1 dir 0 ins '(0 0)) (repeat 19 (fib ins (setq dir (+ pi2 dir)) a) (setq c (+ a b) a b b c ins p3) ) )

You're welcome. Glad it works

@Saxlle thanks!! yes, I didn't move to model space before the zoom.... here is the final lisp I'm going to use with 2 additions: 1. make sure the lisp start in a layout tab. 2. create new layout tab if that tab name already exist. ;;;;https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/visual-lisp-autolisp-and-general/copy-first-layout-multiple-times-and-number-incrementally/td-p/7030955;;; (defun c:vpfrectngl-multi (/ trap1 olderr baselay tablist layname cnt entrec objrec a b nn adoc curpos curtab lytname lytcnt i n) (defun trap1 (errmsg) (setq *error* olderr); restore *error* symbol (princ) ) (setq olderr *error*); assign current function defintion held by the *error* symbol to a local variable - olderr (setq *error* trap1); pointing the *error* symbol to new function definition - trap1 (if (= (getvar "tilemode") 0);if1 in layout (progn;progn-1 (setq baselay (getvar 'ctab));;store base layout (setvar "tilemode" 1);;move to mode space (if (setq ssrect (ssget '((0 .

QNEW opens the Template referenced in QNEW so SysVars would be set and known. I see no reason to go about this in the manner desired by the OP and the OP seems determined to do things the hard way.

Dear @Saxlle, @Steven P thank You for Your answers and discusison. I think that code send by @Steven P Is what I was looking for. I've tried to implement 'solutions' from Excel into my script but there are much simpler and effective techniques I was not aware of. Thank You again for the answers Marcin

Try this modification of your code - minimally tested, but I am exploiting using inters and polar to work with linear, rotated, or aligned dimensions at any angle. Doesn't do anything on any other type of dimension.

"DIMENSION")))) (setq PT (getpoint "\nPoint to trim or extend:") PT (trans PT 1 0) ) (command "UCS" "_W") (repeat (setq index (sslength ss)) (setq DS (entget (ssname ss (setq index (1- index)))) dtyp (cdr (assoc 70 ds)) ) (cond ((member dtyp (list 32 160))(setq ang (cdr (assoc 50 ds)))) ((member dtyp (list 33 161))(setq ang (angle (cdr (assoc 13 ds)) (cdr (assoc 14 ds))))) ) (if ang (progn (setq n13 (inters (cdr (assoc 13 ds)) (polar (cdr (assoc 13 ds)) (+ ang (/ pi 2)) 1) pt (polar pt ang 1) nil ) ds (subst (cons 13 n13) (assoc 13 ds) ds) n14 (inters (cdr (assoc 14 ds)) (polar (cdr (assoc 14 ds)) (+ ang (/ pi 2)) 1) pt (polar pt ang 1) nil ) ds (subst (cons 14 n14) (assoc 14 ds) ds) ) (entmod ds) ) ) ) (command "UCS" "_P") (setvar "CMDECHO" cmd) (setvar "OSMODE" osm) (setq *error* olderr) (princ) )
