Available LISP Macros simplify engineering tasks

[CTruax]

Where can I find a list of macro's to simplify the engineering task.

Specifically:
Does a LISP macro exist that does the following?

I receive residential ACAD drawings via enail.
My fee is for adding structural details (redlines) to them.
When I add shear walls, I would like to be able to click two points on a wall and have a macro that would draw 45 lines to posts, shear-ply, prompt for hold-downs and shear type, and place the information into an identifier along with the length (preferably box & triangle per SEAOC guildlines)

I highly doubt it, if you haven't written it yourself. (Sorry, I get sarcastic at this time of day).

Can you name a site with downloads from engineers that uphold the true spirit of "shareware".

Hi

I searched in

http://www.google.com

for
autolisp structural detail
430 sites are found, offering various macros, many related to structural steel.
I doubt if a lisp routine exists for the specific task here. Can easily be written however, if you provide the algorithm breaking down the operation into steps and giving the structural spec info as well. Like:

1. Select first point
2. Select second point
3. Draw 45 lines from-to on layer xx
4. Draw identifier box or triangle
5. Write into the box ....
etc.

You may compose a txt file containing the spec info and decide which infos come from this file and which ones must be user-input in reply to prompts.

With this information, a lisp routine may easily be improvised.

Hope this helps.
