If this one doesn’t work fine, you may want to try his code too. Notes: After I wrote this, I realize that Shawki abo zeed have published similar code in labeling coordinate tips. LBZ.lsp is for Labeling Coordinate (X, Y, and Z)Įnjoy the LISP, and share it to your friends!.LB.lsp is for Labeling Coordinate (X and Y only).
(command "_LEADER" p textloc "" ptcoord "")Īnd if you want to simply download and use it, download this file. Additional uses of UNDO will step backward further through the commands used in that routine. If a user enters U (or UNDO) at the AutoCAD Command prompt after running an AutoLISP routine, only the last command will be undone.
Will use current leader style and current units setting Each command executed with the command and command-s functions explicitly creates its own UNDO group. If you are following AutoLISP tutorial in CAD Notes, be patience! We will get there. Select the program file as previously saved and click Load to load. So you don’t need to reactivate it after you have labeled one point. At the AutoCAD command line, type AppLoad (alternatively go to Tools Load Application). I decide to make it this way because mostly we want to create several labels at once. The program will continue to ask you for points until you press or.If you want to change the format to decimal or architecture format, change it in UNITS settings. So if it’s too large, too small, or you want to customize it, change your style. Yet another option is entering the LISP command (load 'myapplication.LSP') on the AutoCAD command line (in this case, your LSP file should be stored in the AutoCAD support path). You need to click twice: the point you want to label and label location. By dragging them to the 'briefcase' icon in the dialog of this command, you can guarantee their automatic loading in the subsequent AutoCAD sessions.You should be able to use it after you load the program. I wrote the code to run when I type LB then.Putting two of these in a row doesn’t work, so the c:ESC function must be run twice. There are several ways to load AutoLISP program, but this is the easiest way. When the AutoLISP command function is passed without any parameters, it is the equivalent of Cancel. You can download the file in link you’ll find below this post. But what if you want to label the coordinate from UCS?īecause I’m currently learning AutoLISP, then I decided to take it as a challenge to create a program to do that. It makes sense, because if we want to label our coordinate, then usually we do use global coordinate. If you move the UCS, it will still use global coordinate. It will only recognize the point position from global coordinate. It is nice that you can create your own block, create your own block shapes, and customize it to look anything you want to.īut there is a limitation. I have posted an AutoCAD tip how you can create your own label coordinate in AutoCAD using block attributes.
