Building on last week’s post, we came to a point with a routine to add a point number to a point group with AutoLISP. The routine was complete, however it required one to know the point number and also have a reference to the Point Group object.
With last week’s post, I showed how to add a Point Group to your Civil 3D drawing. Of course, only creating point groups isn’t the most useful automation tool. We need a way to add points to point groups without going through all of the manual steps.
For many years, I have tinkered with customizing AutoCAD using AutoLISP. Once I moved to Civil 3D, I was limited in using AutoLISP to continue writing routines to automate tedious tasks. As the Civil 3D has matured, the AutoLISP access to Civil 3D items in the drawings has increased.
Do you need to run a script on multiple AutoCAD drawings? One can do that with ScriptPro.
No? Don’t worry mine aren’t either. I have several different drawing templates that I use with AutoCAD. Each one is in various stages of completion. I don’t think these templates will ever really be complete.
