Question
hi Scott, i'm trying to write a simple lisp routine to calculate slope & deviation in my flow line elevation (civil engineering). The lisp routine works by asking series of questions then displaying the total or slope percentage at the end. I want to take it a little further by loading the result (variable called 'TOTAL') to the windows clipboard. That way, i can also have the option to readily Ctrl+V paste it when i edit some of my autocad text. I've been looking for a solution in the internet but found nothing. Any insights will be greately appreciated. Thx!
there's no built-in lisp function to do that, although it's probably possible through the activex object model. that would be difficult to figure out. you might take a look at mcneel's doslib to see if there is something in there for that. I think the url is www.mcneel.com.

| Comment | I am totally pleased with the efforts Scott expended on my behalf. The first question and first follow-up were answered in under 3 hours and the final follow-up within 1 hour. I think he went beyond the call of duty in helping me with a problem that has plagued me for a long time. A co-worker (who receives the e-mails) was very impressed with your service and has recommended you to other people. Again many many many thanks to AllExperts and to Scott | ||

I`ve been using AutoCAD since 1987 and programming AutoLISP nearly as long. I can answer questions about programming AutoCAD (except ARX) and production enhancement techniques. I cannot answer questions about AutoCAD crashes or DWG corruption. AutoCAD PROGRAMMING (menus, lisp) related questions only!
