    Ian,
    I get the following message.
    Diameter: d(/<26>pi)
    Requires numeric distance or second point.

    Leave out the brackets:
    (/ 26 pi)

    You're welcome. For future reference that line of lisp code feed AutoCAD the
    quotient of 26 divided by pi. You can use code like that 'on the fly' to
    feed numbers you haven't calculated yet to any AutoCAD command. (+ a b)
    gives the sum, (- a b) the difference, and (* a b) the product.
