Lisp File Creation

[Kyle-Evans]

Hey guys, I am trying to create a lisp file to automate the placing of angular dimensions at all of the vertex's along a very long polyline. There are 500-600 nodes at least and we need the angle between the incoming and outgoing lines at every node.

Is there a way to automate this with a lisp file, or am i relegated to clicking 1800 times and waste 3-4 hours doing this?

We get these files quite often and this will be a huge benefit to us.

Thanks!

Sounds pretty specialized, so I doubt it already exists.

Have you considered hiring someone to write this for you?

You might find someone up for the challenge in the adsk lisp forum or over at the swamp or Cadtutor forums (links to those on the cadpanacea link below in my sig)

Cannot an alignment label style handle that?

After coverting the Polyline to an Alignment , create a label style for Point of Intersection.

Then add Delta Angle and  Included Angle to that style.

Then from Annotate->Add Labels->Alignment->Multiple Poiint of Intersection

The Alignment Label style method works just fine - probably only need the Included Angle in the Label Style - only a  few minutes work to do

Like so....not sure if there is a cunning way to position the label "in the angle"
