Three hand clock script

[John Gravitt]

How can you write a script file to rotate clock hands that keep time?

I can make two work but not the third.

How did you make 2 work, just repeat that ...

 

No really, is this a Script (.scr) file that is displaying slides? Or a lisp routine that rotates an object (hand), or ...?

[John Gravitt]

this is the (.scr ) that will run the two,

Using just AutoCAD commands really limits control of objects in a script. I see you used "l" for last. That and "p" are the only ways I can think of selecting an object other than by picking or giving coordinates.

You can group together all the geometry belonging to a hand using the GROUP command. Assign a name to that group and be sure it is selectable. Now repeat the grouping and naming for the other hands.

In the script file call the ROTATE command and enter G or Group when it expects for the objects to be rotated, followed by the name you previously assigned.

-Not tested, but it should work

Thanks Fuccaro that is working great.
