First, I'm a Senior Design Engineer with an interesting CAD background.
I was "born and raised" on Autodesk products from 1983, when AutoCAD was less than one year old!
For many years, I was a CAD manager who managed over 100 users of AutoCAD at a time. I've trained countless users...
I wrote a lisp program about ten years ago for translating polylines into CNC code for a laser cutter. Each polyline was used as an "engaged" path. A "non-engaged" move would be the translation from the end of one polyline to the beginning of the next. If this is of...

Does anybody have LISP code to combine layers. I have hundreds of drawings with several old legacy layers that use improper colors, resulting in incorrect pen assignments. Is there a way to "merge" two layers into a single "new" layer without "changing" all...
In one of the routines I call from acad.lsp, I detect the existence of format sheet blocks with particular names so I can set a scale factor and TEXTSIZE depending on which, if any, format sheets are found.
Another thing I want to do is to selectively automatically set the current text style...
I appreciate such prompt feedback to this thread.
I was previously at a small medical device design and manufacturing company just prior to my present position. I was successful at converting everybody over to SolidWorks from AutoCAD in about one year. I simply did as "swertel"...
I was an AutoCAD network administrator from 1984 to 1996 when I started using SolidWorks. SolidWorks drawings are slowly but surely adapting many of the features that AutoCAD drawings have, such as layer names, blocks, etc. SolidWorks even seems to suggest that we don't need AutoCAD anymore to...
