rstadtman Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Hi, I'm using ACAD 2007 & 2009 (different locations). My question is this. I have created some dynamic blocks. I want to know is there a way to get the distance (actually preferably line length) between two blocks and automatically have it insertecd in one of the blocks. I.E. block one has a line or maybe spline, running from it to block two. I want the length of the line to be extractable from block two. Quote
cadmatic Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Explore MTEXT, Start MTEXT, Draw the textbox Locate the INSERT FIELD button on the MTEXT formatting bar. Field catagory= Object Fieldnames = Object Object type (button) pick on your line. property = length select units and check additional formatting your length should appear in your text box. There may be a way to work this into a block. Quote
rstadtman Posted August 3, 2009 Author Posted August 3, 2009 Thank you Cadmatic, I will try to examine MTEXT. I'm guessing I probably will need to find a lisp that works with the MTEXT. Quote
