#TotalLength #IrregularLines #LISP LSP file of Total Length: http://www.mediafire.com/file/h7ejfzs7ggzgslr/TotalLength%28TL%29.lsp. I have several polylines at the end of which there is a block. I need to extract the total length of each polyline togather with an attribute of the attached block. All help is appreciated. Edited by sadhu - 29.Mar.2009 at 20:17. Projected 2D length. The Projected 2D Length is the length of a polyline, only taking into account the (X, Y) coordinates of the vertices and omitting the Z coordinate. The Projected 2D Length is the sum the 2D length of each segment of the polyline (a segment being defined as the line between two consecutive vertices). Consider two consecutive vertices V 1 and V 2 with coordinates (X 1, Y 1. It works fine, but I have two more questions, and asking you, if you can help me. Using this lisp, i found out two strange things. Example: My units are set to 4 decimal numbers. In one case result shows 5 decimal numbers. How to get the total length of several independent polylines with AutoCAD or verticals, just by clicking the lines. There are several ideas to get the total length of polyllines but AutoCAD didn't have a direct functionality to calculate the length. There is no command in AutoCAD.

Program Description
This program offers two commands to allow a user to generate a field expression referencing either the area or the length/perimeter/circumference of one or more selected objects.
In the case of selecting multiple objects, the field expression will reference the sum of the areas or lengths of all objects in the selection.
The user may opt to specify a point at which to create a new multiline text object housing the field expression, pick a table cell in which the field should be inserted, or select an existing single-line text, multiline text, multileader, or attribute to be populated with the field expression.
Length Field
Upon issuing the command syntax LF (Length Field) at the AutoCAD command-line, the program first prompts the user to make a selection of objects for which to return the length summation.
At this prompt, the user may select any number of Arcs, Circles, Lines, 2D Polylines (light or heavy), or 3D Polylines.
Area Field
Alternatively, upon issuing the command syntax AF (Area Field) at the AutoCAD command-line, the program will prompt the user to make a selection of objects for which to return the area summation.
At this prompt, the user may select any number of Arcs, Circles, Ellipses, Hatches, 2D Polylines (light or heavy), Regions, or Splines. If the selected object is open, the area is computed as though a straight line connects the start point and endpoint.
Field Output
The user is then prompted to specify a point or table cell to insert a field expression referencing the summation of the lengths or areas of the selected objects.
At this prompt, the user may also choose the 'Object' option in order to populate the content of an existing annotation object with the field expression.
Upon choosing this option, the user may select any single-line text (DText), multiline text (MText), single-line or multiline attribute, attributed block, or multileader (MLeader) with either multiline text or attributed block content.
If the user selects an attributed block or attributed multileader with more than one attribute, the user is presented with a dialog interface listing the available attributes, and is prompted to select a destination for the field expression.
The user may optionally predefine the target block/multileader attribute by specifying the attribute tag where noted at the top of the program source code.
The resulting field expression will display the sum of the lengths or areas of the selected objects, formatted using the field formatting code specified at the top of each command definition.
Custom Commands
The available commands offered by the program are defined at the very top of the program source code. Additional custom commands which target specific attribute tags, or which employ varying field formatting codes may be defined by the user to accommodate drawings in which lengths or areas must be expressed in a variety of formats.
Four custom commands are already defined as examples:
Here, the general format of the definition of a command is:
Here, the may be the tag name of an attribute reference to be populated with the field expression (such tag is not case-sensitive), or nil if the user is permitted to select any attribute.
For example:
The above custom command may be invoked at the AutoCAD command-line using the syntax mylf and targets an attribute with tag name 'TAG1' with the resulting length formatted:
- in Decimal Units (%lu2)
- to a Precision of 3 d.p. (%pr3)
- with a Prefix of 'Length:' (%ps[Length:,])
- with a Conversion Factor of 0.1 (%ct8[0.1])
Length / Area Formatting Code
The field formatting code supplied as the second parameter for each custom command may be altered to display the length or area in a desired format:
To determine the correct formatting code to be used, perform the following steps:
- Type FIELD at the AutoCAD command-line and press ENTER to open the Field dialog.
- Select Objects from the 'Field Category' drop-down menu.
- Select Object from the 'Field Names' section.
- Select an object (with length or area) from the drawing by clicking the object selection button adjacent to the 'Object Type' box.
- Select the Length or Area property from the 'Property' panel (or equivalent property for Arcs & Circles).
- Configure the formatting options as desired.
- Click OK and pick a point in the drawing to create a temporary MText Field.
- Download & load my Field Formatting Code program.
- Type fieldformat to run the program and select the temporary MText Field created earlier.
- Following a valid selection, the field formatting code will be printed to the command-line, e.g.:
For more examples & information on how to supply a field formatting code to a custom command, please refer to the program page for my Quick Field program.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Labeling Lines With Lengths
Mar 2, 2012Labeling lines with their lengths,

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Reduce Polyline With Multiple Vertices To Single Polyline

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: 3D Polyline To Polyline To Spline With Max
Sep 21, 2013Due to modeling purposes, I need to convert a 3D polyline to a spline. What I have been doing is:
- change polyline fit/smooth to cubic from properties
- convert polyline to spline by typing spline -> object
- method -> fit from properties
You can see the original 3D polyline (green) and the resulting spline (magenta) in the attached drawing.When I zoom in and measure the distance between the two entities at different points along them, at some points the perpendicular distance exceeds 5 millimeters, and I want to ensure the deviation remains under 1 millimeter or even less.
I know I can change the knot parameterization of the spline, and this does work at some locations, but the difference increases at others.Why is there a 5.6 mm difference between the spline fit point and 3D polyline vertex, as measure in the attached drawing?
Now, I can go and manually stretch the fit point to coincide with the vertex. Also, I can add fit points between existing ones to drag the spline closer to the original 3D poly.
However, some of my polys are really long, and it is very time-consuming to do this manually while measuring points along the entities to make sure the distance stays small enough.
how to automate this process? For example a lisp that would maybe take the original vertex points, add say maybe 3 (not too many) new ones between them, and then generate a spline while making sure the deviation is less than the set value of 1mm? I am using AutoCAD 2013.

i am able to increase the text style by adjusting the dimscale before i run the command, however it would be good if the program could do that automatically, i would like the text to be about 300 units high, and for the label to be placed at the centroid of the polyline

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Vertices Of A Polyline Segment
Dec 18, 2011I have to intersect polylines 'POLYLINE' and 'LWPOLINE' with a line and get all the angles of all segments of the polyline that are intersected.
To do this I used a loop that monitors all the vertices of each polyline to find the two vertices of the polyline segment that intersects the line. Unfortunately, these polylines have thousands of vertices and the processing done in this way takes too long.
With the vlax-curve-getClosestPointTo I could very quickly find the vertex of the polyline closest to that intersected with the line, but I need to find the other vertex of the polyline segment to determine the angle of this.
Another question: is there a quick function that returns the exact point of intersection of two curves (e.g. A line and a polyline, or a line and a circle?

when I draw a polyline, or use it as the linetype in a feature line style, the arrows seem to revrse whenever there is a change in direction any significance. Also, the reverse command and reversefeature command have no effect. Rotating a segment does not change the direction. I know I must be missing something.
