cmbeussink Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I want a lisp routine that will place an polyline outline around the selected bock. I have tried "BOUNDARY", but it does not work very good with larger blocks. I also found a lisp routine that was mentioned in another thread, but it only worked on 1 level blocks, meaning it did not work on blocks that had nested blocks within it. Here is a copy of that lisp, if anyone thinks they can fix it. I've also found something called "SHRINKWRAP", but this is not a command for regular AutoCAD. But it sounds like exactly what I need. Any help would be appreciated. BTW - I am on AutoCAD 2006. Thanks, Chad ECO.lsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmbeussink Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 If you have Land Desktop, the AecLineWorkShrinkWrap command will do it. In Carlson, the command is SwPlines In vanilla AutoCAD, try the lisp routine found here (http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?t=14493) Thanks to rkmcswain for the above info. I don't know why it didn't show up as a reply. I just got it as an e-mail. Anyway, I am using "vanilla" AutoCAD 2006. The lisp routine from the the thread you attached is where I got the lisp routine that I originally attached. It does not work on blocks with nested blocks. I am trying to find a better version of this lisp. Thanks, Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
