Hi, it's me again... I've searched my library of codes and run into Gian Paolo Cattaneo's AlignHatch routine, and guess what : I've founded that I've updated it into 4 variants : AlignH.lsp ; AlignHM (multiple) ; AlignB ; AlignBM (multiple) ... AlignB stands for Align Block... So I've decided to share all 4 as I think that they could be useful like Gian explained with his animated *.gif files... Anyway, since it's already public - I mean original version, I've redefined all 4 of them to work and in BricsCAD as BricsCAD don't have (c:cal) function... That's all from me for today... I just hope no one won't bother or be mad at me for posting this beautiful routines at download section...

Hi, all It's me again... I'd like to share these 2 routines for linear tree branching... One is for picking start point and branching is performed all to the ends of all linear-curve entities and second one - you enter desired distance and branching is performed from start-picked point to desired lengths... All routines should operate on any type of linear-curve entities : POLYLINE(open), LWPOLYLINE(open), LINE, SPLINE(open), ELLIPSE(arc), ARC, HELIX... https://www.cadtutor.net/forum/topic/75840-trace-specify-length-on-pipe-network/?do=findComment&comment=600231 https://www.cadtutor.net/forum/topic/76008-auto-route-and-show-lenght-all-branch-of-tree-line/?do=findComment&comment=601097 That's all from me till now... Regards and take care, M.R.

TotalBoundary (Pro) is a professional plugin for generating 2D outline drawings of various degrees of complexity with AutoCAD®. The outline drawings it creates are closed polylines marking the boundaries of various types of objects, which can include elementary entities (lines and arcs) as well as complex blocks and curves (ellipses and splines). What sets the TotalBoundary (Pro) utility apart from AutoCAD's built-in tools (such as BOUNDARY, BPOLY) and from other third-party programs is its high productivity and stability, and also the quality of the outlines it generates. The inbuilt algorithm for detecting spacing (gaps) between neighboring objects allows users to create enclosed outline polylines with exceptional accuracy. The program can process tens of thousands of objects extremely efficiently (in a matter of seconds), flawlessly generating highly complex outline polylines in the selected drawings. Key features: The program's powerful engine allows it to build enclosed polylines rapidly along the perimeter of selected drawing fragments. The original drawing needs no advance preparation (removing superfluous unconnected lines, creating an additional enclosed boundary polyline around the original drawing fragment). When the program creates an outline, it automatically identifies and removes gaps in places where primitives meet. The maximum size of these gaps can be set directly by the user. The program replaces splines and ellipses used in defining an outline with true polylines created by means of piecewise linear approximation. The user can also easily set the thickness and color of the polylines the program generates, if required. The program offers an automatic filling (solid hatching) option for the outlines it generates.

This program will calculate the total length of Lines/Polylines/LWPolylines/Arcs/Ellipses/Circles/Splines with an optional filter. The Filter may be used to select only those lines that are on a certain layer, or perhaps have a certain linetype or colour. The results of the calculation can be displayed in an ACAD Table within the drawing, or written to either a CSV or TXT File. The Table-Style may be selected from the drop-down in the main dialog. Main interface The main dialogue box allows the user to filter lines by layer, linetype or colour and select the table style. Multiple selected items can filtered. A filter string may be entered to help the user quickly find the filter items that he/she requires. Options The options dialogue box allows the user to specify which object types should be included and the type of output, table in the drawing, CSV file or TXT file. Demo Function Syntax: LenCal For instructions on how to run the program see here. Any comments, criticism and suggestions are welcome. Either PM me directly, or reply to the original thread.

AutoCAD users often have to deal with the BOUNDARY (BPOLY) command, which allows creating boundaries (mostly enclosed polylines) from existing objects forming an enclosed area around the point specified. Unfortunately, its performance as well as the quality and the accuracy of the boundaries (contours) created when run in complex drawings leaves much to be desired. To eliminate these common drawbacks of the standard BOUNDARY command, a project called "SuperBoundary" was implemented. While BOUNDARY command generates simple contours quite efficiently in relatively simple drawings with a small number of objects on screen, SuperBoundary is intended to provide the user with comfortable workflow in drawings of any complexity. In other words, SuperBoundary is the utility based on the BOUNDARY concept supplemented by super-speed and some super-features. Key features: High performance. A powerful program engine allows analyzing and generating thousands of boundaries in seconds. High accuracy. When generating a boundary, all elements larger than the specified tolerance factor are considered. The possibility to create boundaries in areas having significant gaps between adjacent objects. The possibility to quickly detect and generate all the enclosed areas in the selected drawing or its part. Easy and accurate external outlines generation in complex drawings. Polylines generation from spline- and ellipse-based boundaries using piecewise-linear approximation Flexible adjustment of the boundaries generated. These are width, color and layer. Simple and convenient installation with classic installer. List of commands: _SBND - launch the app in classic mode _SBND_PICK - for quick usage in "pick point" mode _SBND_ALL - for quick usage in "build all" mode _SBND_CONFIG - for export / import current settings data as an external INI file

This is a simple answer to export a Autocad/Bricscad table to excel, it expects a Title line as 1st line, then data etc . Simply pick the table excel will open and be auto filled, you can save then to what ever name required. Can be used as a library file just (load " Table to excel") as it will run automatically.

This AutoLISP file can be used to flatten a 3D drawing. It does this by setting all Z values in the drawing to zero. Instructions on how to load and run this file in AutoCAD are given in this thread.
