Topic: Insertion at a point

[hudster]

I have 2 points, p2 & p3.

I want to insert a block at  co-ordinates p2,p3  but when I put that into code it returns "error no function definition p2,p3".

Code: [Select]

(command "-insert" block (p2,p3) "1" " " "0"

how should I be writing this?

[SMadsen]

(foreach p (list p2 p3)
  (command "-insert" block p "1" "" "0")
)

Like that?

That dosent make a whole lot of sence --Why are you trying to insert a block at two points at once? --  but is this kinda what your looking to do?
(setq pt1 (getpoint "pt1: "))
(setq pt2 (getpoint "pt2: "))
(command "line" pt1 pt2 "")

You want a block inserted at BOTH points P2 and P3?? or some combination of the the X of one and the Y of the other?

Darn, SMadsen beat me again!

You know he may have coordinates instead of points?

If you want the x of P2 and the y of p3 then try this little snippet...

Code: [Select]


(command "._insert" block (list (car p2) (cadr p3)) "1" "" "0")


[hudster]

that kind of worked.

P2 and p3 are seperate values which i want to use as co-ordinates, (i.e p2=100 and p3=200, so 100,200) for the inserton point of a block.

but i can't figure out how to do it.

***EDIT***

Thanks columbia that was it.

I get an "error: bad argument type: consp 1250.0" message now though.

[SMadsen]

Oh, that was a cheater!

[CAB]

You want this then.

Code: [Select]

(command "-insert" block (list p2 p3) "1" " " "0"
