merdrignac Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Just a quicky Is there any way to retrieve the DELTA X & DELTA Y values for a simple line. I know you can get them from ID and by use of a FIELD. What I really need is their separate numerical values, (X divided by Y gives the slope - eg 1 in 20) for use in a macro. Quote
alanjt Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 I'm not sure how you can retrieve this data with LT. Quote
Dana W Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 The data is on the properties box. Not sure macros run in LT, I know Lisp does not. I wonder if you can put the formula in a field. Quote
Coosbaylumber Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 LIST will also display the information...[ATTACH]19433[/ATTACH] That is what I was thinking of. Only thing is that needs to set the accuracy of output, out will only give out in intergers. Wm. Quote

merdrignac Posted May 4, 2010 Author Posted May 4, 2010 Thanks everyone for your quick responses. I know that I can find the DELTA values in various locations, e.g. ID, PROPERTIES,FIELD, etc. But, what I would like to know, is where that information is stored in the program. Which variables, as I would like to automate the calculation of the slope or gradient of the line without having to resort to a calculator. (Lazy or what?). Quote
