listing the Delta Angle in Autocad cviil 2009

[KATHY CORVIN]

I am trying to figure out the delta angle of my arcs. I need this for the distance and bearings of my property lines. When I click on an arc and type the list command, it doesn't tell me what the Delta is for the arc. I have it set to surveyors units and it tells me the beginning and ending angle, but not the delta angle I need. Isn't there an easy way to list this??? Thanks

Thanks- I think I need the remedial answer. I've never used a routine before. I tried cutting and pasting this routine in my command line, but nothing changed when I typed list later. That's how I do it correct? Am I missing a key point?? Thanks for trying to help me!!!

Kathy, if you are using Civil 3D, you can use the ._CGList command.

If you are using Cicil 3D...

Try either the 'Line and Arc Information' button on the Inquiry toolbar

or from the Menu Lines/Curves > Add Line/Curve Labels > Single Segment (output is style dependent)

For your convenience, I've uploaded the LISP routine (It's 'old', but it does a good job. It could use some improvements!).

 

Please save a copy of it to your computer, and with AutoCAD open, simply drag it into your session to use immediately.

 

You initiate this routine by typing CurveData at the command line, and follow the on-screen prompt(s).

 

There are myriad ways to load the routine for your use, but the way I use is to add a load statement to my ACADDOC.lsp file, which will load the routine each time you open a new drawing automatically.

 

Add this line of code to your ACADDOC.lsp:

(load "[color=red]FilePathGoesHere[/color]/CurveData.lsp")

CurveData.lsp

Hey it's a miracle...it worked...thanks soooo much!

LDT is a different application. Many commands in LDT are launched by calling an internal function, and then calling the external command named "LDD".

For example: ^c^c^c^p(cr_mnl)(zz_sdsk '(f:dspent));LDD

 

Open the CUI and browse around for more examples...

or wrap them in a little LISP macro.

 

(defun c:Foo nil (cr_mnl)(zz_sdsk '(f:dspent)) (princ))

Ohh yeah (I forgot it was there)!

 

... My routine just looks SO much better in the command line, Oooo-Wee!

 

 

Naww, just kidding... I wrote that for someone who wanted that exact output (they didn't care about the rest of the info), what else can I say? :wink:

Noce one, RK!

• Inquiry (Toolbar) > Inquiry: Object (Flyout) > Line/Curve/Spiral
  

I use (cr_mnl) in conjunction with (if (not f:adproj) (load2 "ad" "adproj")) often; as an example see post #5 here:

 

http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?51758-Curb-Return-Tables

 

 

 

I also know of, yet seldom use:

• (ad_mnl) - Alignments
  
• (cd_mnl) - Sections, and Profiles
  
• (dt_mnl) - TINs
  
• (er_mnl) - Slopes
  

Note - I do not claim that the above list is 100% complete, or acurate, rather it is limited to my own personal experience (or the lack thereof).
