You are working in your highly automated super excel spread sheet that you have created. After all these months of additions and formulas, cell updates and tests you are there! You finally mad your spread sheet fully automated that produces alone cells, numbers, prices and data that would take days to calculate them manually.But…
Something is missing… (more…)
My work involves a lot of measurements in order to get my quantities off the drawings and make the estimations I need. For this work I only work with AutoCAD. I strongly believe that it is more than enough as it comes with lots of good and handy tools to do the job. Although, some things still “missing” or at least it cannot cover anyone’s demand for commands.
The use of LISP and the creation of custom commands from scratch or manipulating/using what others have created can easily solve this “problem”.
One useful command I use almost every time I am on AutoCAD is TLEN. (more…)
There is often the need to import and export points in AutoCAD. Despite the fact that Civil 3D has an integrated tool for this kind of work, AutoCAD doesn’t. But, don’t be disappointed or try doing this thing manually. There are some ways to import and export points from AutoCAD too, even if we have to use some DIY stuff. (more…)
I decided to post my favorite AutoLISP programs that I use extensively hoping that someone will find them useful. The two of them (as you can see in the code that I am providing) are written by me and their coding is very easy to understand and changed/tweaked (if someone has a bit of knowledge about AutoLISP). There are other two without their code provided by their authors but they are great (.vlx extension). Scripts can also be downloaded all together from here. (more…)

This LISP script is consisted by four different AutoLISP scripts
that allow you to do some things in AutoCAD faster than doing them manually. (more…)
