AboutScott Cook Expertise 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!
Experience Since 1987. Author of Plot2000 software for for AutoCAD, http://www.plot2000.com.
PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS ONLY PLEASE. Questions that are NOT related to programming or AutoCAD customization (menus and lisp only please) are outside the scope of my volunteer services and will NOT BE ANSWERED.
Question I need a lisp routine that will have each set of text on a dwg. to be it's own block, so that when it is exploded for editing it will change text style (like italic). Im trying to figure out a way to determine when diminsions on a dwg. has been edited by looking at the text.
Thanks,Chris
Answer I'd take a look at the DXF reference for dimensions and see if there is an override value stored there, then write a lisp routine to search for those, rather than making them blocks. If there is something there to indicate it has been changed that would be the way to go.
