About Scott 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.

AutoCAD - lisp fro creating topo profiles


Expert: Scott Cook - 9/17/2007

Question
I have a part-time AutoCAD user who has an old lisp routine that creates a profile from a line draped over topography.  It no longer works with rel. 2006 or later.  Does a newer version exist?  He does not have access to Civil 3D or LDT

Answer
I don't know anything about your routine, but past experience is that lightweight polylines break old lisp routines. try turning them into regular polylines. there is a setvar called plinegen that controls how new ones are drawn. I don't recall how to convert them, but that might give you a direction to experiment with.
