If you are using the input in a program using the GETSTRING function you must use it in the following manner....

Code: [Select]

(getstring T "put prompt here")


Then you can enter it with a space,  or you alternatively can enter it as RD has shown above OR you can neter it as a sort of hybridlike so...

kind of related to this i would like a way to quickly toggle between architectural and fractional units. i am in fabricational so we use fractional but when i'm doing layout work from architectural i use architectural. what would a button to do this look like?

I think RD's example is the answer. You separate the inches from fractions by a hypen "-". You don't need the inch mark at all. It is implied.

togle button for lunit

Please put it in a  button  macro .

Code: [Select]


(if (= (getvar "lunits" ) 4 ) (setvar "lunits" 5 ) (Setvar "lunits" 4))



If you only use fract and archi .

"fabricational"  is a word to name the drafter make thing to be fabricated.

Devitg,
If you are as familiar with imperial units as I am [which is pretty much close to nothing], you might have stumbled on a puzzling thing. When you draw a line say 12'10-3/4

Command: LINE Specify first point:
Specify next point or [Undo]: 12'10-3/4
then list the line you will notice a different format of the length is given

          Length =12'-10 3/4" ,  Angle in XY Plane =    308
                  Delta X =7'-11 15/16", Delta Y = -10'-1 7/16", Delta Z =

This happens when your UNITMODE is set on 0, when set on 1
 Length =12'10-3/4" ,  Angle in XY Plane =    308
                  Delta X =7'11-15/16", Delta Y = -10'1-7/16", Delta Z =
that might help when debugging.
