need help adding text to string
need help adding text to string
(OP)
I have downloaded a routine for doing arc dimensions in acad 2002. it works for what we need it to do but i would like to add the text (ARC LENGTH) after the numeric value. Also i would like to retrieve the units settings and reset them back after the routine runs. below is the code:
CODE
;arcdim.lsp Arc Length (c)1998, Paul Standing
;MEASURES THE LINEAR LENGTH OF ARCS AND DIMENSIONS THE ARC TO THE
(defun dtr (x)
(* pi (/ x 180.00))

(defun rtd (y)
(/ (* 180 y) pi)
)
(defun right ()
(setq ang1 (angle ep cen)
ang2 (angle ep1 cen)
ang (- ang1 ang2)
arclen (abs(* rad ang))
)
)
(defun left ()
(setq ang (- a1 a2))
(setq arclen (abs(* rad ang)))
)

RE: need help adding text to string
(command "dim" "angular" "" cen ep ep1 pause (rtos arclen) "" "exit")
to:
CODE
To save user units settings add the following snippet after the line (setvar "cmdecho" 0)
CODE
UsrAuprec (getvar "AUPREC")
UsrLunits (getvar "LUNITS")
UsrLuprec (getvar "LUPREC")
UsrAngdir (getvar "ANGDIR")
)
And to restore settings, add the following lines just before the line (setvar "cmdecho" 1):
CODE
(setvar "AUPREC" UsrAuprec)
(setvar "LUNITS" UsrLunits)
(setvar "LUPREC" UsrLuprec)
(setvar "ANGDIR" UsrAngdir)
