AWELD LISP: Draw Welding Symbols in AutoCAD Without Blocks

September 18, 2020

AWELD places welding symbols on a drawing from a dialog box, and it does it without a block library.

That last point is the design decision that makes it interesting: with no blocks to insert, there is nothing to go missing … [Read more...] about AWELD LISP: Draw Welding Symbols in AutoCAD Without Blocks

ATEXT LISP: Draw Text Along an Arc in AutoCAD (Free)

September 18, 2020

ATEXT draws a line of text around an arc, one character at a time, each rotated to sit square to the curve. You select an arc, type your text, and the routine spaces the characters evenly across the arc's included angle. It is the tool you reach for when a label has to follow a road centreline, a curved wall, a pipe run or a title band. Its provenance is better than most free … [Read more...] about ATEXT LISP: Draw Text Along an Arc in AutoCAD (Free)
