Hi
I am wondering how to move several objects down vertical to snap on to the same curved object in a single command?
On the picture shown the t-frames to the left have been moved down on to the line, while the t-frames to the right is still pending movement.
At the moment I am using 'move' +'apparent intersection' for doing the job, having to snap each t-frame on to the line individually. But there's gotta be a more efficient way of doing it?
Thank you so much!

This is how it will work !! there is NO other automated way.

That may be automatable, but what are the T-frames? Blocks? Collections of independent pieces? If Blocks, where is the insertion point? Do they include only the T [the cyan and green parts], or some element(s) of what's above those? Are they always at the same scale and rotation? Etc., etc.
If the t-frame is a block, you can try following steps:
1. Prepare vertical lines crossing the curved line.
2. Copy the curved line to the insertion point of the first t-frame block.
3. Use this lisp to insert t-frame blocks at all intersection points. You can rename the t-frame block to "SBblock" or revise the lisp to suit the t-frame block name.
4. Delete copied curve line and the first t-frame block.
The t-frames can be drawn as either indvidual pieces, grouped pieces or blocks. The scale and rotation differs, however in the case I'm asking they are supposed to maintain scale and rotation, and just be moved.
They do not include other objects, not shown on the drawing.
Thank you so much! This looks like a smart way of doing it. I tried to make a lisp script for the sbx command, but AutoCad does not recognize the 'sbx' command, when I type in 'sbx'.
I am trying to figure out why.
I loaded the script with 'Appload'. (Is this also how you did it?)
Also there are different version of the sbx script.
Would you mind copypasting your script here?
Yes. Please load it with command APPLOAD.
I forget which version I used. I guess it is the last (latest version) in the post.
