Auto dimension lisp

[mhy3sx]

I am searching for a lisp code to recognizes and dimensions LINE or ARC objects located in the Wall-2D layers and blocks in the CLOSETS-2D layer. like the image

The dimension layer is DIM

The idea is  to pick 2  points like a line and automatic insert the dmensions. I use ZWCAD.

 

Thanks

Yes I have something done like 40 years ago, but did you try QDIM is that in ZWCAD ?

Hi BIGAL, I have try QDIM but  working as

Select geometry to dimension :

 

The QDIM don't dimension the block (look the image)

 

I want to draw a line by specifying two points, to indicate where dimensions should be placed.

This line should only appear on the layers named WALLS-2D and CLOSETS-2D.

The WALLS-2D layer contains both lines and polylines, while the CLOSETS-2D layer contains blocks.

 

Thanks

Drawing the line would also pick up 4 lines across the block. would maybe have to do a fence ssget. and if block draw a bounding box to pick up lines but even then could be inaccurate if not a square.

I find a solution. I craete a polyline ,then auto dimension the polyline and delete the polyline. Beter tahn nothing

 

Thanks

As suggested by @mhupp if you use a fence option you can find objects and get their intersection points do a sort based on start point. For the block would do a Bounding Box around the block. and get the left and right edge points, then do the dims. Yes just need a line from left to right for "intersectwith". You can set the correct layers when doing the SSGET "F".

 

If get time will dummy up your dwg and see what the code I have does.
