milli_can Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Work has recently updated our CAD program from AutoCAD 2012 to AutoCAD LT 2016 And i was wondering if there is a way to get lisp files to run on 2016 Lisp commands like Breakline and Textmask If not is there similar commands to get these two running again?

Dadgad Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Welcome to CADTutor. Upgrade (?) from Vanilla 2012 to 2016 LT. There is no lisp, no 3D, and most of the express tools use lisp too, but there are some ways to try to workaround it. Steven-g is an active forum member, chronic LT offender, mind bender, who has a tendency to make LT do things, for which it was not intended, I am sure he will have some valuable input for you. It really helps to think outside the box. Edited June 12, 2015 by Dadgad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven-g Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Somebody is abusing my good name , indeed LT cannot run LISP or many of the other programming languages, but in a lot of cases macro's and scripts can be made to do a lot of tasks (not all), add in a bit of diesel and it gets interesting, and if you have excel available then even better. The problem with LT is you have to forget the push button mentality. Sometimes even fairly straightforward tasks need a couple of extra steps, but you can usually find a way to semi automate most things (again not all). If you can give an explanation of what those Lisp's do and maybe some before and after results as images then somebody might be able to help. The 3D bit is debateable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Steven, as I suspect you understand, I hold your very considerable skills in high esteem. You are like Merlin to LT. Off the top of my head I can't recall ever seeing another LT user entering a 3D modeling challenge, USING LT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Steven-g are the following supported thickness, pface then this is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven-g Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Dadgad, I'm still very proud of my gold star for that one. Bigal the thickness property is available, but not pface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 The walls are Thickness but sloping surfaces like the roofs are pface. It could be done as 3d line but obviously a hide will not show a 3D view. A pity there is no LT PRO that has lisp. LT LTPRO CIV3D etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
