If your program requires the user to input a distance, either on the command line or by picking points, what AutoLISP function would you use?

Provide an example:

Code: [Select]

(initget 1)
(setq wid (getdist "\nS-S Width:   "))


I see a lot of people using getreal.  (getdist) allows for input based on LUNITS settings.  -David

(GETDIST also allows the user to "show" AutoCAD the distance by selecting points on the screen.
