Showing Z-depth info

I work with a machine shop that requires me to dimension as well as notate the Z-depths of each hole (which can be a real pain in the neck when you have 20 holes all with different Z-depths). I'd like to know if there is a lisp routine that would show the Z coordinates as either text or as part of a dimension within the drawing.

Thanks,
Billy

 

the Z-depths of each hole (which can be a real pain in the neck when you
have 20 holes all with different Z-depths). I'd like to know if there is a
lisp routine that would show the Z coordinates as either text or as part of
a dimension within the drawing.

I have a routine from many years back which applies a line of text
beside a leader emanating from a picked point. The text reads:

X=1234.56, Y=2345.67, Z=567.89 (example, obviously!)

The leader's other end has a tiny circle which identifies the point.
It's non-dimensional, non-associative, strictly text.

If this would be useful to you, let me know.

Hi Billy

I need a little bit more clarification...
Do you mean a dimension like 20x100mm (diameter x depth)?
or...
20x40x60mmm (length x width x depth)?
and...
Is there an object for read the z value?

Cheers

 

Doug,
I'm sorry to get back to you so late. I'd be interested in trying your lisp routine out. I think it just may work...

Thanks, Billy ()
