Scale LISP

[Anonymous]

Hello all

This is my idea. You are at a layout and there is a viewport. Then you draw a line at paperspace of 10 units (mm) for example and you say it is 1 meter in real scale. So the lisp should display the scale. In this sample, it will prompt 1/100.

I ask for this because i usually work with rescaled drawings and the viewport scale is not the final scale.

Thanks.

Hi, @Anonymous

In general my idea is to specify the distance in paperspace (first part of the lisp that you have code) and then you write the real length, so the lisp will show the real scale (for special drawings like mine). If you dont understad, it doesnt matter, i am trying to make myself.

Thanks for the effort.

from reading what you are saying i have the feeling that you didn't try my previous code because it exactly replies to what want in first place. the program runs like the dist command , give you the real length plus will give you the viewport scale with out the need to specify the real length (of course only when you are in paper space) - try it.

hope this will bring you to mark this as your solution.

Hello maratovich,

Sorry, i didnt realize your post. 

It would be very similar to the video. You specify the lenght in paper space and the REAL length and it prompts the scale.

Aren't you familiar with DIST command???

it works the same and in paper space will add the viewport scale (the real scale as printed on paper)

Hello Moshe-A,

I tried it very quickly at work and I could not test it very good.

Now i am testing it, and i see it Works perfectly, as I need.

Thanks a lot! It has been a long work hehe.

Hello Moshe-A,

I am not familiar with that command. Maybe the lsp do the same as the command, but i dont know it.

Casals,

You know what is amazing here? form start i have mentioned the dist command at lease 5 times.

and i now think that if you were familiar with it we weren't 'meet' here at all.

yes DIST & NDIST are doing the same work except NDIST now has the viewport scale but as i said before you can achieve what you want only by using dist command + add a text under the viewport with it's scale (that how the world works).

cheers
