Outline Objects

-
 This program enables the user to generate one or more closed        
 polylines or regions outlining all objects in a selection.          
                                                                     
 Following a valid selection, the program calculates the overall     
 rectangular extents of all selected objects and constructs a        
 temporary rectangular polyline offset outside of such extents.      
                                                                     
 Using a point located within the offset margin between the extents  
 of the selection and temporary rectangular frame, the program then  
 leverages the standard AutoCAD BOUNDARY command to construct        
 polylines and/or regions surrounding all 'islands' within the       
 temporary bounding frame.

Strip Mtext

Image
This program creates a user command that will quickly remove formatting applied to individual characters and words inside Mtext objects. StripMtext can remove the following types of formatting: Alignment  Color  Font Height  Underscore  Overscore  Linefeed (Paragraph Return)  Obliquing  Stacking  Tracking  Width  Non-breaking Space StripMtext does not modify Mtext properties such as style, justification, width, and rotation.  Nor does it manipulate inherited properties such as layer, entity color, etc. Note: Removing Mtext formatting is a very complex procedure.  This program has been designed to safely remove formatting but no guarantee exist.  Until you become familiar with StripMtext, please save your drawing before using.  If you do not like the results, you can immediatly issue an Undo command to restore your Mtext to its prior condition.  You are encouraged to spend a few minu...

Quickly Rotate The Drawing UCS, Without losing the original co-ordinates

-
Image
1. Load the LISP using APPLOAD command (AP) 2. Draw or select a line along the longest side of the property, building, etc.  3. Type "ROD" command to activate the lisp. 4. Select the line or object. 5. Done "This can also be done in a viewport without affecting model space, but you will need to reset the VP scale." Notes : Rotating your UCS to an object is a very quick way to rotate your drawing's view so that it is aligned with a major object in your drawing. This works very well when you want to rotate the view in a viewport. It is instant and it rotates the view to the angle of the object you select. To put things back to normal, type PLAN on the Command line and choose WORLD, then type UCS and select WORLD.
