Scaling and Rotating Multiple Objects
Jamie Spartz sent Harry two tips based on the same premise. Scale Multiple Objects (Tip #2049) and Rotate Multiple Objects (Tip #2050) both let you select a set of block insert objects and then the same edit operation is performed on all of them. These utility routines are another example of simple LISP modules that you can clone into other useful edit functions of your own design. To use, load the LSP file and type MSCALE for the multiple object scaling or MROTATE for multiple object rotation. The scale and rotation are applied at the insert point of the blocks selected. A very handy set of base routines when working with drawings containing blocks that you need to adjust. Programmers can modify Jamie's simple approach for a variety of commands and object types such as rotating text from one orientation to another.
