Title: Darray - another Dynamic tool !!
Post by: Andrea on January 03, 2009, 01:48:02 PM
Hi all..

Since I'm on the GRREAD function...
many idea comes in my head.

I have created this New Dynamic Array function.

Darray v.1

The only thing I don't like...is the way i've made it by using block..
but it work great. so if some one have any suggestions to doing this without creating block
I will be happy to see it.

thanks .  :roll:

Haven't looked at your code but you could analyze the initial selected entities, especially the boundary elements, and grdraw a ghosted symbolic representation. Would be fast and no temp block def/instancing required, assuming that's what you did.

Guessing the proggy needs to consider the state of osmode.

Very cool stuff!  I will be dissecting it later to add some of your ides to my routines.

Keep the cool stuff coming!  I am envious!

hi, when i use the "darray" commanf after loading your lisp file, why not working..the command history like this one..

Command: darray

(L)inear/(R)ectangular/(P)olar/(A)rc ?: l

No unreferenced visual styles found.

Select objects: 1 found

Select objects:

Number of CopyArray: 5

Attach point...Regenerating model.  (WHY THIS ONE NEEDED?)
Base point...
Press (A)ngle/(Q)uantity : Deleting block "_{DarrayBlock}_".
1 block deleted.

no function definition: ACET-SYS-SHIFT-DOWN

i tried it in autocad2004 n 2009.
is the object must be a block or..?

This is where the selected entity is reffered absolutely needed..


ACET-SYS-SHIFT-DOWN function come with expresstools and is part of the acetutil4.fas file.
but you'r right. i'll modify the code to detect if some express function is available. thanks.

Serge...

Cool, Andrea.
Beautiful lisp.
I see a lot of aplications in what I do. cheesy
But one thing bothers me, I have not found how to impose a distance between objects created!
Is it possible and how should I do?

Thank you for your explanations.
