Topic: Plot Tabs Routine

[CAB]

They need to be in separate files

PlotTabs.dcl will hold the dcl code
PlotTabs.lsp will hold the lisp code

[Scott]

Okay,

I recopied the lisp and dcl, and I get farther than before.  However, now I get an error that says
 "Error in dialog file "PlotTabs.dcl", Line 1, Minus sign not followed by a digit"

Any ideas?

Thanks
Scott

Scott,
Sounds like you may not have copied the dcl file completely.
Try downloading this zip file "PlotTabs042104.zip" and replace the ones you have.
The PLotTabs3.lsp is a newer verision, you will want to delete the old PLotTabs.lsp on your disk.

CAB,

Works like a charm, and saves alot of time as well.

Thanks
Scott

Thanks Scott,
Check back in a few weeks as I'm planning an update.
Nothing major, just trying to add the directory choice when you save to file
and to better integrate the "Zoom Extents" & "Plot" loops into one to speed up the routine.

WhooBoy! I gave that man a fish and he's learned to feed the community. CAB, you rock.

Thanks Daron, and Mark, Keith, Stig, Se7en, Hendie, and many others
for teaching me HOW to fish.
After umteen thousand lisp questions you folks were patient enough to answer.
I'm enjoying giving back. Seems like yesterday I started asking questions.
I think this was the first.

I don't think i'll ever catch up with you all, but i keep trying.
Too much to know and too little time.

I think I may have offered a sardine at one point.... and looking at CAB's coding skills now, I think CAB may have to hand that sardine back again !

Great work CAB

LISP is not one of my abilities ...

Pretty impressive, CAB

[CAB]

Well Thanks, it's comming along.
But the credit goes to all the folks here for the quality help you all give
when asked. I appreciate the overlooking of my "Foot in Mouth" outbreaks
from time to time. This site is very conducive to learning and that's
what makes it so great.

Thanks Mark for making it possible, and call before you dig, will ya.

And it's only taken you 1 year to get as far as you have. CAB, you must have some good time on your hands. That or you really catch on quick.

[CAB]

Well, I'd like to say both.

I have a  background in programing, CBASIC, dBase, FoxBase, 6502, & Z80 as a hobby
starting in the late 70's. In 1989 I wrote a routine in FoxBase template language,
a program that writes programs, and made a few bucks selling it before FoxPro came out
and provided radio buttons and check boxes & made my routine obsolete. Got into fishing &
diving and forgot my old hobby until ACAD came along & I started making a living doing that.
I think Lisp is a natural progression using acad. The little routines I have written with the
help here have saved me a lot of time drawing but I reinvest the time into programing.
So yes I have invested a lot of time.

Sorry for the long reply.

Sorry for bumping an old topic, but I had to pass my regards to CAB for the plottabs program.  We have been looking for this for sometime.  We were finally directed here from Autodesk's discussion groups.  Once again, thanks CAB for a great program.
