![]() That is the goal, to just place the text or a block where specified. The blocks could all be stored in the same folder to simplify it. So, instead of placing text a block named SEPTIC TANK.DWG would be inserted at 31, 1.6 Maybe to draw a block I could replace the text style with the word BLOCK and the text value with the block name.Ģ2X34 LAND,INV BOLD,BLOCK,31,1.6,SEPTIC TANK.DWG, This would place that text in the lower right hand corner of my drawing (my title block). Then, place the text "CATHY ENGEL" ON THE 22X34 LANDSCAPE layout sheet, on the layer INV BOLD, with the text style HAND at the x-cord of 31 and the y-cord of 1.6. Ignore the 1st line of the file.(header info) Like I said it is a huge time saver for me.Ģ2X34 LAND,INV BOLD,HAND,31,1.6,CATHY ENGEL,Ģ2X34 LAND,INV BOLD,HAND,31,1.4,LOT 3 KEYES ROAD,Ģ2X34 LAND,INV BOLD,HAND,31,1.2,WARREN MA,Ģ2X34 LAND,INV BOLD,HAND,31,1,18 JULY 2012, I would be willing to compensate someone write it for me. So, trying to find a way to do it with AutoLISP. VBA does not run in Carlson with Intellicad engine. I looked at having excel write a dxf file but it looks like there is a lot of stuff in a dxf file. I can change my template drawing at any time and just have to adjust the x-cord and y-cord in excel to have the text go to the proper place.Īnother nice feature would be to place a block instead of a text value at a specified x y coordinate.ĪutoLISP is a little beyond me capabilities(actually a lot). I run the command it it instantly updates the drawing. I had a TML (terramodel language) routine written to do this task for me 18 years ago and it runs perfect. So, it is time to abandon Terramodel and move on. One update and then they abandoned the Generic CAD users. BTW, I started with Generic CAD 22 years ago and AutoCAD bought them. However, Trimble aquired them and does not produce any more updates. It is a great program for civil and surveyors. Being able to place these values any where in the drawing automaticaly is a huge time saver! (beg pipes, end pipes, top of stone, bottom of stone, d-box in and out, septic tank in and out). I can set the bottom of a leach field and have the spread sheet calc all the inverts. I have a nice spread sheet in excel that does all the design calcs. For example, the design flow of 330 gpd might be placed in 3 different places, the invert of the pipe in a nts profile and in a schedule of inverts, the clients name on 3 different sheets. ![]() The text goes throughout the whole drawing. ![]()
