I guess using GRREAD to pick a point in real time and behind the scenes do a search box looking for text and in particular a match say "ABC" in "ABCDEFGH" if yes then zoom in on that text. I am not good at GRREAD code so some one else may be able to help. Search box.part based on a pick point. (setq off 18) ; needs to be changed to suit a dwg. (while (setq pt (getpoint "\nPick point ")) (setq pt1 (polar pt (* 0.25 pi) off)) (setq pt2 (polar pt (* 0.75 pi) off)) (setq pt3(polar pt (* 1.25 pi) off)) (setq pt4 (polar pt (* 1.75 pi) off)) (setq pts (list pt1 pt2 pt3 pt4 pt1)) (setq ss (ssget "CP" pts '((0 . "TEXT")))) (if (= ss nil) (princ "\n nothing found ") (princ (strcat "\n" (cdr (assoc 1 (entget (ssname ss 0)))) " found")) ) )

Open View Manager. Select Preset Views from the dropdown menu. Then select one of the four 3D isometric views: SW, SE, NE or NW. Done.

Not lisp, One approach would be to use a point monitor https://www.cadtutor.net/forum/topic/98349-use-a-point-monitor-to-add-items-to-the-hover-tooltip/ A draw jig might be also work depending on the context.

This might be a starting point https://www.lee-mac.com/grtext.html combine BIGAL and demo one?

Your ratio rectangle should look similar to what is shown on the far left. What is shown on the right is how it is derived.

Ok a few issues I joined all the plines into one else code fails. The code uses a very simple method of working out connection point, the issue is when a join is just past a vertice then angel will not be 45 so need a different approach. In this image can see the 2 answers as the 45 line meets either before or after a vertice so it would make sense at the vertice there is a PIT for change of direction of the pipe so use that point. Can you comment please. Something to play with. (defun c:gully45 ( / ) (setq obj2 (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel "\nPick drain line ")))) (while (setq ent (car (entsel "\nPick block object "))) (setq obj1 (vlax-ename->vla-object ent)) (setq inspt (vlax-get obj1 'insertionpoint)) (setq objpt (vlax-curve-getclosestpointto obj2 inspt)) (setq dist (distance inspt objpt)) (setq dist2 (vlax-curve-getdistatpoint obj2 objpt)) (setq dist2 (+ dist2 dist)) (setq pt2 (vlax-curve-getpointatdist obj2 dist2)) (command "line" inspt pt2 "") ) (princ) ) (c:gully45)
