autocad 2009 Parameters Manager, maths

[orange]

 

is there parameters manager for autocad 2009?

 

can parameters manager solve my 'mathematical problem':

 

I need to assign a value to pline called 'real_length' and 'startvalue'

autocad then calculates endvalue=startvalue-real_length*attenuation.

and displays result on the end of pline.

If you are looking for a text object to display the length of your line, I believe this can be accomplished with a dynamic block with the stretch function, and an attribute nested within set with a field to reflect the length. I'll give it a test run and report back

Something like this?

line length.dwg

Either I don't know how to use that or I can't get it to work.

 

You could certainly do this with a pretty simple LISP script.

Sorry to bump this but I didn't catch the last post.

 

Insert that as a block, and when you lengthen the line with the dynamic grip the attribute contains a field that will display the length of the line upon regen.
