add new scale to list...

[leonucadomi]

hello:

I'm trying to make a routine that adds new scale to my viewports

I want the routine to only ask me a scale number. example . 20 and it generated the scale 1:20 and so on for others

I started with this code but something happens and it doesn't work

(defun c:EVP3 (/ ESC ESC2)
 
 (setq old_err *error*)(defun *error* ( a / )(princ "") (setq *error* old_err)(princ))
(setvar "cmdecho" 0) 

(setq ESC (getreal "\nIndica la escala: "))
(setq ESC2 (strcat "1" ":" ESC))

(command "_-SCALELISTEDIT" "A" ESC2 ESC2 "E")


(princ) 

  );fin defun

 

enlighten me masters ... please

 

thanks

Shout out to @alanjt for doing the heavy lifting here. This will generate a temp DCL Menu with a list provided and whatever you pick will change the scale accordingly. could be cleaned up a bit with error handling of making sure you selected a viewport or if your in an active viewport pick that one by default.

Another using radio buttons.

 

 (if (not AH:Butts)(load "Multi Radio buttons.lsp"))
 (if (= but nil)(setq but 1))
 (setq ans (ah:butts but "V" '("Choose a Scale" "1:10" "1:20" "1:50" "1:100" "1:200" "1:250" "1:500" "1:1000"))) ; ans holds the button picked as an integer value

 

or

oops forgot atoi to set X as an integer. in VBA you can just do math with strings if they are numbers "80" * 5 works the same as 80 * 5. not so much in lisp.
