Hi Vic,

You didn't mention what version you are on. And what do you mean "pull" ?

^C^C_dimangular (here is the standard dimanglar macro for R2002)

Somehow I don't think that this is what you want!

 

I shoulda said, it was written with vba for AutoCAd 2002.

And for those of us who can't run VBA or LISP [grin]:
^C^C_pedit;\;;_list;@;;_undo;2;_dimangular;@;t;$M=$(rtos,$(getvar,PERIMETER));

(There's another for you, Chip.)

 

Who me? Whaaaaaaat???

I just got your Button Macro to dimension Arc lengths, and have adapted it to call out the lenght of a polyline with a leader.

In your original routine, you convert the arc to a polyline so that when you list it, an overall length is given. This causes the internal Autocad variable, PERIMETER to be updated with the lenght of the polyline. Then you undo it all, and use that PERIMETER variable in the arc length dimension.

However, I am having some difficulty with the selection method. In Diesel, you can use the \ or SELECT or SINGLE options to get userinput. I had hoped that the SINGLE command would give me a pickbox to select one object. But, it is not working well.

I've also added the NEA snap option so that the leader connects at the object where you select it.

New macro which will call out polyline length
*^C^C_list;\;_le;nea;@;\\;;$M=$(rtos,$(getvar,PERIMETER));;
