Lisp to array one line on a path

[Anonymous]

Please,

I have a path, polyline with curves and straight lines.

I have one line perpendicular to the path at the beginning of the path.

I want to put this line at one distance, given by me, of the origin of the path

I have cents of distances to introduce because this I need this lisp.

Thanks in advance,

Luis

Does the ARRAY command with path option not work for you? Can you provide some screenshots of what you want to accomplish?

Hello,

Thanks for your reply,

Yes work but I have cents of distances to introduce.

I only want place the first yellow line one distance given by me from the beginning of the path. If can read the distance from a txt or csv file better.

Thank you.

You might want to take a look at Alan J. Thompson's "CopyAlongCurve" program.

Many Thanks

I tested the lisp you told me.
The "Dynamic" option does what I want, but does not line up perpendicular to the path.

I used the two options align and not align and both did not.

What have I done wrong?

Could you upload a dwg so that i can test the program in a real world example.

It works. First i aligned the line with the Y axis on the WCS and then i used it.

Thanks, for your help. Work very well. But,

I have cents of distances to introduce and all the time I need to click three times, one for the object, one for the origin and one for the path.

And again, and again 🙂

because of this for me, it's better one single lisp that reminds the object and path and asks for the distance, read a txt file. 🙂

Is it possible?

Sorry for the insistence.

For 'reminds the object and path and asks for the distance, read a txt file '

1. Show the lisp code that you wish to modify to do that.

2. Show an example of the 'txt file' that you wat to read.

As a start.

@stevor Thank you for your reply

I don't have anyone lisp. 🙂

The txt file could be sequential, incremental or both.

Please take a look at the attached files.

Many thanks,

Luis

Dear All,

With the "Record" command and option "Stop for the user input" already solve the "problem" regarding "memorize the path an object".

But, as I said, I have hundreds of distance to enter and it is very fastidious and time-consuming to manually enter the distances.

Because of this, the lisp will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for all.
