pattanasio Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Dear Sir/Madam: The attached lisp routine places the bearing and distance of a line in AutoCAD. However, it places the inches of the line. I would like it to indicate feet and decimals of a foot. This is the format for survey work. I have been trying to divide the inch result by 12 to derive feet instead. For example (/ distn 12). Need your help. Thanks, Phil bd.LSP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berzerker Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) wouldn't you "times" by 12. It takes 12 in. to make a foot. Edited January 14, 2021 by Berzerker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombu Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 As the attached lisp uses no local variables while modifying so many system variables rather than attempting to fix it why not do a search for a better replacement. Many have been written for this purpose with or without using fields or blocks that wouldn't adversely affect anything else in AutoCAD.

pattanasio Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 This routine gives the distance in decimal inches. If you divide by 12 you will get feet. ie, 120 inches (10 feet) /12 =10 feet. I finally figured to change the len variable to (setq len (/ len 12)). This would divide the length (len) by 12 and the output is in feet and decimal of feet. I renamed the lisp routine to bearing & distance.lsp. Thanks, Phil bearing & distance.LSP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
