Hey guys/gals
I am trying to create a macro or lispertine, not sure which one I will have to go with, that will let me draw a closed poly line and once I close it I want it to gather the area of that just created polyline and plug the area into a dtext...
Can anyone help guide me in this? I am struggling here. Also like I said I don't know if it can be a macro, or if it needs to be a lispertine. Which ever it has to be can I make the command start with a quick key?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Oh, by the way I am using AutoCAD 2010
I have loaded the lispertine and it works. Now I have to mess with my field settings because I can not get the fields to update. I do understand the updatefield and demandload but they still won't update. I had just started with a new firm and their setting are not up to speed. Any help with that as well would be greatly appreciated.
Also if there is anyway I can get the begining part of this, as in to draw a poly line and then pause and have the command that you referenced start. That would be greatly appreciated.
See picture - did you try this.
Or put a regen command at the end of the lisp.
