Topic: what are your ways to streamline your cad routines...

[pringals]

The most used commands I use are probably the simplist as well:

Code: [Select]

(defun C:ZE ()
(command ".zoom" "e")
(princ)
)

(defun C:Zp ()
(command ".zoom" "p")
(princ)
)

(defun C:qs ()
(command "qsave")
(princ)
)
ZE= Zoom Extents
ZP= Zoom Previous
QS= Qsave
I know they aren't much, but of all the lsp I have put together, they are the ones I use consistently without thought. I hate using another machine without these simple commands loaded up. I feel lost without them at times. ... kinda weird I guess.

Hey pringals, try using zq instead of zp. It's a lot faster than reaching across the keyboard..

I suggest you at least try the BTWN routine.  You'll like it, I'm sure!

I did, (at least the one posted above), but defined with a "C:", it's not transparent, and it blows up on 3D points.

'cal (cur+cur)/2

Can be used in response to any point prompt, and is completely compatible with 3D.

Ah yes...the old 3D problem.  I've had a lot of routines "blow up" working in 3D..... Tried this one and it don't work too....shame really.......
