AutoCAD Lisp to Print Multiple Sheets at Once (TPL)

 (TPL) AutoCAD Lisp to Print Multiple Sheets at Once




The video titled "(TPL) AutoCAD Lisp to Print Multiple Sheets at Once" demonstrates how to use a custom AutoCAD Lisp routine to efficiently print multiple drawing sheets from model space in a single operation. The routine, referred to as TPL, automates the process of selecting multiple sheet layouts and sending them to a printer or PDF plotter, reducing manual effort and saving time.

Key Points from the Video:

  1. Selection of Sheets:
    • The routine allows users to specify sheet boundaries or areas within the model space.
    • These areas are predefined for each layout that needs to be printed.
  2. Custom Automation:
    • The Lisp script automates the plot command, iterating through the selected layouts and sending them to the designated printer or plotter settings.
    • Users can configure settings like paper size, plot styles, and output formats (e.g., PDF).
  3. Efficiency Gains:
    • Instead of manually setting up and plotting each sheet, the routine processes all selected sheets in one go.
    • Ideal for projects with many layouts, such as architectural plans or engineering drawings.
  4. Downloading the Lisp:
    • The video provides guidance on downloading and loading the Lisp file into AutoCAD to enable the functionality.

Calculating Areas of Multiple Objects in AutoCAD

Image
Lisp for Calculating Areas of Multiple Objects in AutoCAD ALisp routine can simplify repetitive tasks like calculating the areas of multiple objects (polylines, circles, etc.) in AutoCAD. Below is a guide to creating a Lisp routine that extracts and lists the areas of selected objects. 1. Understanding the Task - AutoCAD objects such asclosed polylines,circles, andregions have an area property. - The Lisp routine will:   1. Allow users to select multiple objects.   2. Extract the area of each selected object.   3. Display or export the calculated areas (e.g., to the command line or a file) 2. Sample Lisp Code   Here is an example Lisp code for calculating the areas of multiple objects:   https://mega.nz/folder/uEwwWYJJ#SqSlsWbhlihseMZO4vL-Fg   lisp (defun c:MultiArea (/ obj area total areas fileName)   ;; Initialize variables   (setq total 0)   (setq areas nil)     ;; Prompt the user to select objects ...

Coordinate Lisp in AutoCAD

Image
  Using a Coordinate Lisp in AutoCAD   A coordinate Lisp routine in AutoCAD is a powerful tool to streamline workflows involving point coordinates. It allows users to automate the extraction, input, or manipulation of coordinates in a drawing, saving time and reducing errors. This article explains the concept, usage, and implementation of a coordinate Lisp in AutoCAD. 1. What is a Coordinate Lisp? A coordinate Lisp routine is a custom script that interacts with points or objects in AutoCAD. It typically handles tasks such as: - Extracting point coordinates from selected objects (e.g., polylines, points, circles). - Inserting points or blocks at specific coordinates. - Exporting coordinates to a file (e.g., CSV, TXT). - Importing coordinates from external files. 2. Benefits of Using Coordinate Lisp Time-saving: Automates repetitive tasks. Accuracy: Reduces manual errors in coordinate handling. Versatility: Handles various coordinate-related workflows, ...
