Help with making more frames than one

[kamal_kouidar]

Hi!

With my code I can make only one frame with the lines, blocks etc (Image 1). But when I have more groups it goes through the frame (Image 2).

I want to be able to customize my script so that it is dynamic. More than 26 groups means that the 27th group starts on a new frame, so even if you have 60 groups, for example, it must be divided with a maximum of 26 groups per frame (Image 3).

I hope there is someone who has a way to do this easily, I prefer to make few changes to my code.

See below the images:

This shows how I want to have it, see Image 4 if I have 78 groups :).

This is what i want

Your code has many particular points set for various block inserts. That's OK, but it makes it harder to

place new items at entirely different X Y locations.

You might want to blend in the following code snippet to adjust (all) the X values of the points for

2nd and 3rd set of images. Good luck.

;; Add Distance to X point

 (defun AddDistX ( ptxy dx )
  (if ptxy
   (progn
    (setq Xval (car ptxy) Yval (cdr ptxy))
    (setq Xval (+ Xval dx))
    (setq newpt (list Xval Yval 0.0))
   newpt ;returns new point
   ); progn
  ); if

Call to above:
; Original code for setting your x y point
 (setq pt (vlax-3d-point x y 0))
; once that is set, if it's the 'next group reset all the Points X value
; set the X offset desired
 (setq xdist 100.0)
 (setq pt (AddDistX pt xdist)); to reset original pt + xdist

@kamal_kouidar  Please upload SYMBOLEN 2.dwg and StealV1-8.lsp

Because your making a rectang around the area of interest you can auto make Layouts of each area using the rectangs, let me know if useful.

Waiting for dwg.
