Good day mighty auto-cad wizards, im in need of your assistance. I make shop tickets for a stone company, part of this process is figuring cubic feet of materiel for each peace.What i typically do is
1. make my three view drawing of the stone
2. Hatch the Profile view
3.Add area field to hatch to get the square inches of the profile
4. Plug profile area and length into excel sheet to get cubic feet.
Step 4 is done at one time for all stones in a excel sheet so what i do is steps 1 through 3 for all stones and i like having the area tag right there on my ticket so i don't have to click on the hatch and open properties to get the area info
Now this doesn't seem like much but each job could have 10 to 100 different stone shapes. My question is this i run Autocad LT as it is all im able to get from my work so LISP is out of the question. But could a routine or macro me made to package together the hatch and field commands??
What i would like to be able to do is hatch a profile and have the filed data automatically be inserted
The commands are pretty much the same every time......(Hatch, pick points, enter, field, enter, object , area, pick object, enter.) not allot but when you got more than a few profiles this command string gets old fast.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
