@Anonymous hi,

can you tell us more what we see here?

is this a manual drawing or do you have some automation?

Welcome to these Forums!

I guess you came here to get help on how to code your own programs. Is it that right?

The following code supposed to show you what's possible. Consider that as a welcome gift because I feel like generous today. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any question about the code.

(defun c:DimToPolyline ( / i p1 p2 px ints obj pl pts ss tmp used pair)
  
  (if (and (setq ss (ssget '((0 . "LINE"))))
           (setq pl (car (entsel "\nSelect polyline: ")))
           (or (= "LWPOLYLINE" (cdr (assoc 0 (entget pl))))
               (prompt "\nError: Selected object is not a polyline!"))
           (setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object pl))
           (setq pts (mapcar '(lambda (x) (list (cdr (assoc 10 x))
                                                (cdr (assoc 11 x))))
                             (mapcar 'entget (vl-remove-if 'listp (mapcar 'cadr (ssnamex ss))))))
           )
    (foreach pair pts
      (foreach i '(0 1)
        (and (setq p1 (nth i pair)
                   p2 (nth (- 1 i) pair))
             (setq tmp (entmakex (list '(0 . "LINE") (cons 10 p1) (cons 11 (polar p1 (+ (angle p1 p2) (/ pi 2)) 1.)))))

                 T)
             (entdel tmp)))))

Hi @Moshe-A,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, we are developing to automate some continuous repetition work to reduce working time, as well as automate manipulation.

First I draw a Pline, use "test" lisp to create the cells and use "Break" lisp to break the line, then select a red line representing Dim to the blue line.

I did it automatically by lisp (lisp attach)

Hi @ВeekeeCZ

I'm programming code about HTML, SQL. I have no experience with CAD code and CAD commands, I have reviewed the documents in the past 1 month but have no results. I think it is a series of automated CAD commands that are executed. But I still can't find it.
Thank for your gift. This is amazing.

I made drawings with attached lisp.

Regarding your code, I applied it to the drawing, the top part was amazing (image 1), the horizontal part was incorrect (image 2), it was 49
