Any lisp routines for aligning two architectural plans that don't fit?

[Anonymous]

I know it's a long shot, but I have an architect's drawing here (produced by the same architect in the same drawing, no less), and it has several plan views: existing site, proposed site, building plan on-site with levels etc.

I want to merely align the building plan with levels, to their proposed site plan, but the building doesn't quite fit. Probably a result of pulling around, scaling in one direction etc.

is there any routine for attempting to force alignment between two layouts, even if it's just a best fit? I know it's a long shot, but aligning two drawings that don't fit is always a pain, a opain exacerbated by the fact that it *almost* fits

Cheers!

Hi,

when you use the command _ALIGN (>>>details<<<)... what do you miss then?

How are you using the term "layouts"?

Tried the align command, and it didn't even remotely line up the two parts I wanted, even when provided with multiple source points. I could come up with a much better best fit myself: this put the building footprint, which is similar on both drawings, out by 2 metres.

I'm looking for a command that fuzzes the difference and calculates a best fit scenario, so I'm not moving it round all day trying to find the best compromise

When I say "layout", I'm not talking about the layout tabs. I'm talking about site plans.
