Plot user paper size

[reza]

Dear ReMark and BIGAL,

 

 

First of all, I'd like to apologize for my poor English. At the moment, a colleague of mine is helping me with this thread.

 

 

The main question here is not why, but how? Suppose there are indefinite layout areas in a single DWG file and I have defined a single custom paper, namely CP1. So, what I need to do with my lisp in each run, is to assign ΔX and ΔY of user-picked points of a layout block as dimensions of CP1.

new block.dwg

I have a solution, but it does not lisp, is an independent program.

[reza]

could you explain about that? or how to access this program.

[maratovich]

See example, it is possible for you.

The program is looking for a polyline.

It prints the specified printer and paper size.

Can create layouts of rectangles found.

And much more.

thank you for guidance me

(setq p1 (getpoint "\nPick first corner : "))
(setq p2 (getcorner p1 "\nPick the opposite corner : "))
(setq deltaX (abs (- (car p1) (car p2))))
(setq deltaY (abs (- (cadr p1) (cadr p2))))
;;;;;;;;(setq str (strcat (itoa (fix deltaX)) "*" (itoa (fix deltaY))))

(commnad "-plot"

Hi SLW210 :

are you During my problem ?

could you help me

i want to do this (change paper size in each run).

is this possible?

You need to follow the Forum rules when posting code.

I do not see a problem just use mview in a layout I think you need to learn more about multile viewports in one layout and using scales of viewports.

my dear bigal

I've worked from autocad r11 until now , and I have not any claim In this case

one question :

I need to do with my lisp in each run, is to assign ΔX and ΔY of user-picked points of a layout block as dimensions of CP1.

and one answer :

possible or impossible

[BIGAL]

This question has been asked again in another post today so I am thinking about it if I can find some time.

 

As I have said previously it can be done manually very quickly using zoom centre and a plot scale requires only 1 pt but you then drag the mview limits to suit.

 

Are you metric or feet.

You need to create the 10,000 non-standard formats.

Create hands .pc3

1x1

1x2

...

10x1

...

...

850x140

....

12345x54321

[reza]

:shock:

:D

[reza]

I went into the black hole space

[maratovich]

Why do you need a lot of non-standard formats?

Write your ultimate goal.

[reza]

I assure you the ultimate goal does not concern nuclear energy and its associate industries in any way!

 

The purpose here is to print different parts of a DWG file (which are numerous) in PDF format as fast and as convenient as possible without any unnecessary paper waste when printing in physical plotters.
