Creating Pole Details with Lisp Routine

[Anonymous]

Good Day Family!

I hope all is well!

I need some help please.

(attached is the block dwg)

Is there a way to build my Utility Pole Detail by just using a Lisp routine or excel sheet? (would love a lisp but excel is an option also ;))

I've seen something like this before (at my old job) but the detail it created was simple and used only Line/Plines. The person would run the lisp and a window would pop up asking for block name (i think) and height of pole to be used and a few other things i couldn't catch.

Im hoping the same thing can be done but using blocks instead.

or maybe even using an excel sheet?

Use Design Center (ctrl + 2 ) search for your dwg with blocks and choose what you want to .

Are there too many options to create a dynamic block for this?

Perhaps we may need to clarify a point about this forum:

This board is not a repository for developed programs.

This pier-to-pier format enables regular visitors to help

and assist the visiting members. For this particular board,

we will help individuals with specific sections of code

that is giving the visitor a hard time to figure out. We will

not create specific utilities for your specific discipline.

That being said, it looks like you are looking for a "Glorified Insert"

or "Glorified Tool Palette" type of program tailored to your specific

discipline.

"To learn by example" is one way we may be able to help you.

Attached files demonstrates the following:

- Overall program structure.

- Writing a temporary file for the DCL part of code.

- Reading and parsing from a configuration (CFG) file.

- Looping dialog (temporarily closing dialog for additional user input).

- Mode tile handling.

- Structured lists.

- Populating a list box by selecting an item in another list box.

The configuration (CFG) file shall be placed inside a directory that is part

of the SFSP -- Your personal menu system's "support" directory. This file

is used to declare all your block names and can be updated, then reissued

as required.

The LSP file can be converted to FAS and, with few exceptions, need not be

reissued when block additions or subtractions are carried out.
