Red Cedar Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 I created this mline for foundation grade beams. All i need is to to add text with updated length and is being modified. For example i draw a straight line about 20' in length then hit regen and it will update the length to 20' . I tried making it a dynamic blocks but it will only make the drawing more heavier. I would like to keep the milne properties with the additional text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 There is lengthen lisps or even "Lengthen" command so draw a line then enter length. Just a back to basics with ortho on, start drawing a line and drag to direction with mouse, type length and that is what it will be, no code required. Works with mline also. I would do a part 2 label "ALL" beams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cedar Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 Bigal, it did work but I would still need the mline with text for the new length when hit regen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I don't think you can get length directly of a mline as a field, may be able to get somehow end points, then get distance. If its 2 lines then yes as a field of 1 line length. Maybe Google for field help. I would only provide write a new value as say plain text no auto updating. Could erase old text and write new.
