RAFTER LISP: Parametric Rafters and Roof Trusses for AutoCAD

September 19, 2020

Two routines in one file: RAFTER draws a single rafter in elevation, and RTRUSS draws a roof truss built from a pair of them. Both are parametric — you give the member size and the rise, and the geometry follows. It is by Bob Thomas of Thomas Enterprises in San Rafael, and it belongs with his floor truss routine and cabinet elevations — the three are built the same … [Read more...] about RAFTER LISP: Parametric Rafters and Roof Trusses for AutoCAD

Layer Tool LISP: Process AutoCAD Layers by Picking Objects

September 19, 2020

Layer Tool bundles the everyday layer operations into one command driven entirely by picking objects. Set the current layer, turn layers off, move objects to another layer, and build up a working list of layers as you go — all by clicking on things rather than reading names out of a dialog. It is by Axsys Technology Ltd, copyright 1990 to 1993 — the same house that … [Read more...] about Layer Tool LISP: Process AutoCAD Layers by Picking Objects

PDIST LISP: Label Running Distances Along a Polyline

September 19, 2020

PDIST labels a polyline with running distances. Pick one, and it writes the cumulative length above every vertex — zero at the start, then the distance travelled at each corner, all the way to the total at the end. It is chainage annotation for anything measured along its length: a road centreline, a pipe run, a fence, a boundary traverse. It is by Art Whitton, and … [Read more...] about PDIST LISP: Label Running Distances Along a Polyline

SPER LISP: Draw Lines Perpendicular to a Spline in AutoCAD

September 19, 2020

SPER draws a line perpendicular to a spline. That sounds simple until you try it: AutoCAD's perpendicular object snap works against a spline, but getting a line that is genuinely normal to the curve at a chosen point — and knowing where along the curve you are — is fiddly. The job comes up constantly in road and drainage work, where the alignment is a spline and … [Read more...] about SPER LISP: Draw Lines Perpendicular to a Spline in AutoCAD
