Topic: Cursor Command Line Prompts

[DanB]

(AutoCAD 2006)
I myself do not care for the new command line at the cursor but there are a couple people wishing to use this at our office. Does anyone know how to display results at the cursor through LISP. It seems only certain prompting actually goes to the cursor command line. Below is a very simple example where after setting the user osnaps they would like to see the prompt at the cursor. Ideas? Hints? One command we have seen display results at the cursor is the "Distance" command.

Thanks,
Dan

Code: [Select]


 (defun C:S3 (/)
  (setvar "osmode" 160)
  (prompt "\nOSNAP Set to INTersection + PERpendicular")
  (princ)
 )

Hint: Exploit hyperlinks.

If you don't mind paying for someone else's fine expertise there's also tools like periscope from manusoft --



I don't use it so I'm not familiar with all it's options. Maybe it will do what you like, perhaps not. There is an eval version at the url I provided. Cheers.
