drawing slots ACAD2000

(OP)
is there a command that will draw slots in acad2000

RE: drawing slots ACAD2000

You can use MLINEs with arced caps...

Another thing you can do is, draw a line, offset it the width and then fillet the ends.

One last suggestion would be to make a unit block and then insert it in at the appropriate scales.

RE: drawing slots ACAD2000

Or, you could try this:

(defun C:SLOT  (/ A B B1 B2 C D PW)
  (setq PW (getvar"PLINEWID"))
  (initget 1)
  (setq B1 (getdist "\nLength of slot: "))
  (setq B2 (/ B1 2.0))
  (setq B (list B2 0.0))
  (initget 1)
  (setq C (list 0.0 (getdist "\nWidth of slot: ")))
  (initget 1)
  (while
   (setq A (getpoint "\nInsertion point: "))
   (setq D (list (- (car A) (/ (car B) 2)) (- (cadr A) (/ (cadr C) 2))))
   (setvar "PLINEWID" 0)
   (command "_.pline"
            D
            (mapcar '+ D B)
            "_a"
            (mapcar '+ D B C)
            "_l"
            (mapcar '+ D C)
            "_a"
            "_cl")
   );while
   (setvar "PLINEWID" PW)
  (princ)
)

Add it to your Acad.lsp file, or type (load"slot") on the command line, or lcick Tools / Load Application and go tet it, or or or or ....
