simple question

[alijahed]

Hi All,

 

Really confused!

Why this doesn't work?!

 

(defun c:test ()

(setq p2 1000.0)

(command "_dimlinear" '(0 0 0) '(p2 0 0) '(0 0 0))

)

 

but this is working:

 

(defun c:test ()

 

(command "_dimlinear" '(0 0 0) '(1000.0 0 0) '(0 0 0))

)

 

Tanks in advance

You cannot use a variable name in a quoted list since you add the quote to avoid that list to be evaluated as a statement - use LIST function instead to construct the point:

 

(defun c:test ()
(setq p2 1000.0)
(command "_dimlinear" '(0 0 0) (list p2 0 0) '(0 0 0))
)

Give this a try.

 

(defun c:test ()
(setq p2 100.0)
(command "_dimlinear" '(0.0 0.0 0.0) (list p2 0.0 0.0) '(0.0 [color="Red"]10.0[/color] 0.0))
)

 

Just an idea.

(command "_dimlinear" '(0.0 0.0 0.0) (list p2 0.0 0.0) '(0.0 10.0 0.0))

 

That make no sense. The third point argument set dimension line’s location – I’m afraid that by proposing to move it on Y axis will not serve OP issue.

your opinion is highly appreciated.

 

But that was just an idea . And when implement the program, dimension will cover the line with no sense. that's all.
