Lisp for slope length of lines 1

[louismullen1]

We need to examine drawings to establish the number of lines and the total slope length of selections of lines on the drawings.

The drawings are of 3d lines representing land drains.Each drawing has 30 to 500 individual lines.
We need to find the total slope lengths of the lines.

Is it possible to write a lisp to do this. Any help would be great.

This works treat. One further question

is it possible to make toolbar button to load/run this lisp .

You could add the routine to the "startup suite" to automatically load when you open a drawing.
Then the button macro to start it would be:

^C^CTLEN;

Didn't test this but to load and run it in a macro may be (if the lisp is in the support file search path):

^C^C(load "tlen.lsp");TLEN;

Cheers. I will try both methods.
