PROGRAM symbol for AHU with various different combination

sendtopeter — Fri, 30 Jun 2017 15:09:01 GMT

I am new to lisp program. I have to create symbol for AHU, with various different combination of sections. But the final output shall be one block diagram. I have created dynamic block wherein all the sections are present. We had created different types of AHU, the combinations become vast. So to make it simple, we would like to create command or menu, "AHU", on clicking, it should Pop Up TAB, wherein we could select the checkbox which sections we need and hit ok to generate block diagram. Is it possible? I have attached one Dynamic block.

Thanks & Regards,

K. Peter

Why not use Tool Palettes?

Drag the block to a tool palette,

Right click the item

select properties

Change the Name and Custom value of the visiblity

Do the same for how many visibility sates you have

Simple right? We can always write a code for you if that is not an option. Try it

HTH

Oops. I think you are asking more than just dragging the block in model space. Give us an example and lets see what we can do.

Call me Patrick, I got that K. Peter, What I'm asking for is an actual drawing file of what you described as "the output shall be one Block object" .

Like how is it aligned?
is there a specific distance between the blocks?
will they be inside a box/frame?
Rotated 90 deg?
Does it come with a description?
What will be the eventual blocks names for the group? or having it Grouped is enough?

This Q&A will all be avoided or lessen at the least by providing a sample of the end result in CAD format , i.e the finish product.

Dear Patrick,

Please find the my reply in blue

Like how is it aligned? Horizontal to ground level.
is there a specific distance between the blocks? if you are asking the size of each section consider 8mm x 22mm, if your asking about overall size of block then it will differ as per which combination we use, as indicated in word file.
will they be inside a box/frame? Refer the Attachment 1, dynamic block after selecting anyone of the block, it should be seen similar, but for the example you will be creating it shall look like either of combinations shown in ms word file.
Rotated 90 deg? for now I am not interested in rotating or mirror, but if you can do it, it will be of more information for me.

Does it come with a description?
What will be the eventual blocks names for the group? or having it Grouped is enough?
one block without any description Good enough, name ahu.

This Q&A will all be avoided or lessen at the least by providing a sample of the end result in CAD format , i.e the finish product.

Thanks & Regards,

K. Peter

I realized that the "AHU" block drawing attached at post#1 is different from the "AHU" block at post#3.

We will call them by different name here as SB ( SETBLOCK ) and CB ( Comination ).

On some of the CBl , there is some kind of a filler between SBl's.

For the first Cblock , will that be

| A | Filler | A | Filler | A | B | C | D |

and the one on the right as

| A | B | C | Filler | A | B | C | D | E |

A = a SB selected for spot A

B = a SB selected for spot B

Filler = not a block included on the SB collection

Also need to account for the SB at the bottom ( Motorized Damper ). which is out of sequence.

It is indeed a daunting task from a programmers POV.

Hi Peter K , browsing your DWG , I notice that the blocks have different scale units . As to be easy to arrange, it shall be with the same SCALE UNITS and UNITS some are millimeters others inches . a simple way to what you want to , use the DESIGNCENTER or Ctrl+2 shor-tkey

Re: PROGRAM symbol for AHU with various different combination

devitg — Sat, 08 Jul 2017 20:16:28 GMT

find attached a DWT , to use as blank dwg , and ahu-blocks-00 to use at designcenter all blocks are at same scale and units , milimeters Insert point at middle left

Dear Patrick,

We believe you will do it, coz you know what we are asking for, yes! its daunting task, but nothings impossible for you, Right?

Have you come across similar programing in this forums or other, could you give the reference to that page?

Have you got some book or notes on lisp for my reference? Could you share it, please.

K. Peter
