An Apparent MidPoint

An Apparent MidPoint

An Apparent MidPoint

(OP)
i have a lisp/macro for a button that specifies half the distance between 2 points but when i use it inconjunction with other commands it tends to go with osnaps instead of picking the apparent mid point of the 2 points i had specified such as in this example

i have a horizontal line and a vertical that is a misc distace from the mid point of horizontal line now i want to draw a line starting at half the distance from the midpoint of the horizontal line and the endpoint of the vertical line

ok so knowing that here is the macro i have

'cal;(cur+cur)/2;^M

it works some times but others its just acting goofy like selecting 1/4 the distance or selecting the last picked point etc...

if everyone helps everybody the world will be a better place

RE: An Apparent MidPoint

You will need to turn OSNAP off. You can toss this in right before your midpoint code and turn it back on when you are done.

I understand what your talking about but on thing i may not allways use the same snap setings while doing this so it is imortant for this to stay variant so that i may need an apparent midpoint between the centers of 2 circles or 2 endpoints or 2 midpoints

what should i do?????
