Topic: DLMO Dynamic Line Modeler !

[Andrea]

 

Hi all..
its me again.

After using some infographic software...
I've decided to try to create something similar with AutoCAD..

ther is my First release of:
DLMO v.1.0
Dynamic Line Modeler

How it work:
First I was trying to know a good way to modify some entity without picking, selecting, removing, filtering...entity. so i've decided to use circle as MODELER. this modeler can be resize easely with + or - key
it will change color from cyan to red when it detect entity that it can Edit.

When ready to edit, press the TAB key to switch Modeling Method. Pick and move your mouse !
It will create and modify your entity Dynamicly !

For Now, I have make these Kind of edition:
"TRIM" "PICKER" "WAVE" "BUBBLE" "TRAPEZE" "SQUARE" "ROUNDED" "TWISTED" "SMOOTHTWISTED" "CANDLE"

If you have any idea to create some other kind...please let me know or feel free to add it ! 

Tested on LINE, POLYLINE, ARC, SPLINE,.
Need to check the closed entity.

Note: by Modeling the end point of entity, this allow you to extend it.

Let me know what you think of.

Thanks.

Load your routine and enter in the command : DLMO

What should appear on the command line?
I get the following:

Command:
DLMO
Current Mode -> TRIM
Setect Line... nil
Command:

The routine does nothing...why do I get TRIM?

OK..

I got only an Invalid Point but the program work.
the message is because I use BREAK command with select entity.

The code below show this message.....but still work.

Code: [Select]

(setq i (car(entsel)))
(setq a (getpoint))
(setq b (getpoint))
(vl-cmdf "._break" i "_F" a b "")

The code below don't show the message but not working.

Code: [Select]

(setq i (car(entsel)))
(setq a (getpoint))
(setq b (getpoint))
(vl-cmdf "._break" i a b "")

the question....

why ?

[KewlToyZ]

AutoCAD version added/removed some extra option?
Drawing variable interfering?

Maybe do  list of variables in a file that it works in and compare to one that doesn't?

I found it... !

with using command against vl-cmdf

Code: [Select]
