Annotating Lines & Arcs

Hi, I am a surveyor that requires some help with commands for autocad.

I am looking for 3 separate lisp programs that can:

  • automatically annotate lines or arcs with their distance when selected
  • automatically annotate lines or arcs with their bearing when selected
  • automatically annotate lines or arcs with both their bearing and distance when selected

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Kate

Do a little Searching.  For example, >this< may have something you can use.  The link to my Property.lsp seems to be broken, but I'm attaching it here.  It does this kind of thing:

either as you draw boundary Lines and Arcs, or to add to already-drawn ones.

 

But it does both bearing and distance [for the chord in the case of an Arc, along with radius and included angle and length along the curve] -- not a choice of which.  Those choices could be split out as separate commands.

 

It's designed for feet, but could be modified for metric use easily enough.  And the PROPERTY linetype it calls for is a custom one of ours -- you'll need to choose a linetype that you have.

 

Also, I expect the Map and/or Civil overlay versions already have such capabilities.

May I ask, are you using AUTOCADMAP? It's free to install and use for any AutoCAD active subscription user and is designed for your industry.

Thanks Kent, I see your bearings are in quadrants. I am in Australia and we narrate our bearings from a north azimuth I think is how to best describe it. I have found similar lisps to yours in previous forums so I was hoping for something more in particular for my drafting purposes. I have no code writing experience unfortunately but eager to learn in the future. So I wouldnt know where to start to edit your one you have kindly attached. Thank you

Can you illustrate how things would be designated, with a representative assortment of both line and arc elements?  It may be easy to adjust.

 

Also, do you therefore work with the ANGBASE System Variable always set to 90°?  And do you measure angles clockwise or counterclockwise from North [ANGDIR System Variable]?
