El Jefe '36 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 O.k fellas, attached are our lisp routines we use for our Wastewater & Water Callouts. Our Wastewater callouts use the MTBOXLD.lsp and are enclosed in a box with a shadow and a solid type leader. The Water callouts use the MTEXTLD.lsp and are enclosed in a box with a standard leader. Right now we have other commands that work with Single Line Text, but we created these to work with Mtext...which work great; but only if the drawing has a 0 (zero) Twist to it. Doing Civil, all our drawings have a different Twist to then. Below is an example of how these commands are faulty... Here is our Wastewater Callouts, the good looking ones are Single Line Text and the one with a magenta box around it is Mtext with our MTBOXLD.lsp command... Here is an example of our Water callout using the MTEXTLD.lsp command... We dimension our plans seperatetly, not in the base file, on each sheet in the plan view. I've tried to box the text setting my UCS to View but that just throws the boxes way out there in space. The boxes in the images above were done while in World coordinates. We need these commands to work while having our UCS set to View or World. If these instructions are a bit confusing, please feel free to contact me with further questions, comments, or resolutions at RCharo@burypartners.com Thanks!! (sorry for the quality of the images, I can send them directly to you if necessary for a better view.) MTBOXLD.LSP MTEXTLD.LSP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLW210 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I will try to give it a look later today or maybe Monday. I am quite busy at the moment, but will give it a look. In the meantime, try posting this as a new thread in the AutoLISP, VBA & Customisation section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Jefe '36 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Thanks SLW210....there's no rush to it. I've posted a new thread where you suggested. Again, I appreciate the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 For general work, I use a simple lisp routine. Callout.lsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
