    Set Z-Axis to vertical?

    ShaggyPE, I tried your method to modify the view orientation and it basically works, except that where you say to click on reset views I think you meant to say to click on update views. It works for me. Thanks.

    Nested Command Error with Autolisp

    MarkAJohn, I wonder if 'len' might be an alias for LENGTHEN. Since the variable 'len' is not declared local, that may be confusing the system.

    Solidworks / Autocad

    DWGeditor packaged with Solidworks is a fairly full-featured version of Cadopia Intellicad. If you're allowed to keep it after uninstalling Solidworks (I doubt this), that would be a nice gift. The retail for that is about $500. If you like DWGeditor and you don't need ACIS solids editing and...

    How to calculate batter

    aweysham, if a batter is what I think it is, a sloping surface, and you have some overall dimensions, some simple triangle trigonometry will give you any angle. Is that what you had in mind?

    Scaling

    fascott, As Todd says, you can't use the built-in scale command to scale multiple objects on different centers. A lisp program could automate the process to some degree, but you would have to somehow pick the individual centers of each object to be scaled. If the objects were all radially...

    Snap Problem

    jwlynn64, I think Mike Halloran is right. If you start to draw a line from the endpoint of an existing entity and your cursor movement is within the aperture AND there are any relevant snaps set, then the snap will occur and you will generate a zero-length line. Try turning off all snaps, or...

    Trace Tree network

    elev8848, For someone who is not programmer, you have written an elegant program. It is a good example of how recursion can pack a lot of processing into a few lines of code. Unfortunately, elegance doesn't always mean fast execution. Iterative programs usually outperform the recursive ones...

    Trace Tree network

    elev8848, Well, here is an iterative version of your salmon1 program. I have never had so much trouble with what should have been a fairly simple algorithm. From the user's point of view, I think it works the same way your program does and it is considerably faster. I hope this works for you...

    Civil 3D "Point not on entity"

    francesca, If you do a Google search for "point not on entity", there is a link to an Autodesk discussion group that seems to be related to your question.

    Lisp question on LINE command

    CarlB, Yes, that fixes it. Looks like I need to read up on Visual Lisp. All my old code is pre-Visual and may need updating with changes like this one. You've saved me considerable searching. Thanks very much. I owe you one.

    Lisp question on LINE command

    IFRs, The newang var is defined as a string that contains "<" as the leading character. I have tried "<" followed by the angle, but that doesn't work either. I will try all suggestions. Thanks.

    Lisp question on LINE command

    CarlB, I tried your suggestion, but still no luck. Thanks anyway.

    Lisp question on LINE command

    Does anyone know what the correct argument string should be to use the LINE command in a lisp program? I am using ACAD 2008. I am trying to use the angle override option after providing a first point, then I want to allow the user to select a screen point for the length. The code that I think...

    Intersecting Lines?

    Majora, I wrote a lisp program some years ago that may be what you need. It works only for simple entities (lines and arcs) in 2D. It marks free endpoints, but does not automatically fix anything. If you are interested, send an email to support@rgmts.com and include "Majora" in the subject...

    Modify Lisp Routine

    Taffcad, Try this. Comment out the line like so : ;(if (null txtht) (setq txtht (* 0.125 (getvar "ltscale")))) and add this new line after it : (setq txtht (getreal "\nEnter text height: ")) I hope that is what your asking for.

    trouble getting DXF code right for ellipse

    oxr76, I don't have Autocad. I use Intellicad V4 Standard. I also have Cadkey 19, used mostly for its STEP and IGES translators. Both Cadkey and Intellicad can read and write Autocad 2000 DWG and DXF and earlier files. Mike Halloran reports he couldn't open your DXF in Autocad 2000, but if...

    trouble getting DXF code right for ellipse

    oxr76, Correction : I couldn't open your DXF in Voloview Express 2.01 . Evidently Autodesk's idea of a minimal CAD file is more elaborate than seems necessary.

    trouble getting DXF code right for ellipse

    oxr76, Your DXF file opens just fine in every viewer and Cad program that I have. I suspect that you can get Autocad to open it as an earlier format. Which version do you need this DXF to open in? You may need the expert advice of someone familiar with the later versions.

    Lisp program for cones

    Darken99, Those dimensions work on my system.

    Lisp program for cones

    For what it's worth, the code seems to run fine on my system with a variety of cone dimensions. I can't tell if the layouts are actually correct, since I don't know exactly what the program is doing. But it draws the layouts every time without system errors. I use Intellicad 4 standard. It seems...
