I am starting a new project...yes a new one...even though I am not tha good at code but...it keeps me busy tring to learn some new things.
This new one is a Detail manager. Yes I know there are plenty out there but I would like to make my own.
Just a basic manager, you select a catalogue the list comes up, you select your block you hit insert. done.
here is a screen of the ui I have. All my blocks are made or being made. Layering and colors and what layer to insert them on isnt a bigdeal cause they are all created on their correct layers so inserting them on layer 0 is fine and not a big deal to so do a (setvar "clayer" 0) in the code.
I have some Lisp code written for this already but its by far no where near being right or even at apoint where I am not imbarrassed to post it lol.
Now the reason i asked about .cat files is cause I was talking to some here and he said he used a file that was a .cat file that held the list info and block info in there and just had to call that file out. Ofcourse he said he doesnt remember how it worked.....which jsut leads me to believe he didnt actually code it lol.
But thought I would ask here seeing as smart r gents u
edited it cause i had forget to take off my real name on the ui... i dont want you too track me down and kill me...
