Mullion/Muntin Routine

[OhioCad]

Trying to make it quicker to draw storefronts. I have a little basic autolisp knowledge (just enough to be dangerous) What is the best way to select a rectangle and draw a horizontal line across the top and bottom a specified width from the top and bottom sides of the rectangle? From there I think I can extrapolate and modify the routine to draw the rest of it.

Try MASi...or see the quick example I created some time ago, below.

Tried to cut and paste that code into wordpad, resaved as mu.lsp
Did appload and it said successfully loaded and then bad character read (octal)
Checked it again and it seems like I got all the parenthesis. Using Autocad 2000i if that makes a difference.

[OhioCad]

That looks a little more extensive than I would need, but essentially yes. Usually just a single tenant storefront with 1 or 2 intermediate horizontals and a single door.

Ok, here is the guts of the elevation routine...you will need to modify it
to meet your needs.

If you need more help, I can make a standalone version over the weekend.
The routine I have is from a larger program...will take time to seperate
out just the storefront-curtain routine from my arch program.

Just curious, but have you ever done tilt-ups?

[OhioCad]

When I envisioned writing a routine on my on I figured on getting the opening coordinates with a pick window, entering # of panels and width of mullions. Then drawing a basic storefront based on that information. For the extent of what I need, a 5 panel storefront would require 2 horizontal lines and 10 vertical lines (not counting the intitial rectangle drawn from the pick window location). Then extra horizontal dividers if I want to get fancy. I can drop in a door block after. For the previous inquiry about tilt-ups, I have done a little drafting in that regard. Most of my initial experience was architectural drafting for Sea World, Petco, Military Bases. Then went on to focus on electrical drafting and design for Petco, Taco Bell, Qwest, At&T among others...I spend my time now working mainly Dunkin' Donut stores for an Architect in Chicago...Helping in all areas of the process including Architectural, Mechanical and Electrical. Design as well as drafting.

Hey Gary I am interested more in this lisp routine for storefronts.
I copied and paste into noted pad and saved it as a lsp file, now how do I
get it to work?
It lets me set my left point and right point but thats it am I missing
something?
I know very little in lisp.

thanks,

daniel

I will make a standalone version over the weekend and post to the group.
The routine is buried deep within my arch program, and I will need to separate it
out.

I will have it by Monday

Your welcome...I still need to do some error checking.
Found one problem that I need to fix. Will have it repaired soon.

Also the dialog box will rember the last screen position, whenever the
exit button is entered.
