cable tray lisp

I found a video where you can see the author creating a cable tray with their program, he shared the program in but looks like malware.

youtube link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKiZPP0Qv14

blogspot link:

https://cad2all.blogspot.com/2018/11/draw-cable-tray-with-fittings-in.html

download link is inside the youtube video

their concept is very simple, convert a polyline to the cable tray.

anyone here already tested their program?

is there any complete lisp like this shared program for cable tray?

PD: the author use the same program in the same youtube channel for share one "menu bar" with multiple lisp.

I haven't looked at the videos, but a Search for "cable tray" here will bring up several routines, that work in various ways and give various kinds of results -- I did one that's >here<, and there are others [including on that thread alone].

I did not find your code inside other programs ...

awesome program for cable tray but I found some think that might be solved:

1) I was testing your lisp but there does not exist a cross-shaped union.

2) only hatches vary between different types of cable trays. for "Ladder Cable Tray" should be inserted a line each every certain distance.

if that is solved, then your program might be perfect.

attached the lisp that I found in your shared link.

I tested your lisp for cable tray, is an awesome lisp.

but I did not found unions like cross-shaped, t-shaped, u-shaped, L-shaped in 45 and 90 degrees (or any angle), and reducers.

I have a request, can you modify your lisp to convert polylines to cable trays? like the youtube video above

the size should be like the "global width"

1) Yes I was also asked by a quite a few users to add cross-shaped union and Taper-Reducer and I am planning to

add them as soon as possible.

2) Yeah different hatch means different types and add a center line for the ladder type is not a major task and can add it to the program along with the fore-said two blocks.

I believe it is perfect since I have hundreds of users over the world using it and they are paid users.

Thank you for taking the time to give your kind feedback about my program.
