DInfo is a very complex LISP routine by Lee McDonnell that provides real-time feedback about objects in an AutoCAD drawing as the cursor moves over them. Take a look at the included animated image; you might not think AutoLISP could be this powerful, but it can. Start by loading the LISP file, then type in Dinfo at the Command prompt. Your cursor will change to a circle, the size of which you can adjust with the + and - keys. As you move this cursor over drawing objects, information about the object is displayed just to the right of the cursor. If you press Tab, the entire program changes to Layer Isolation/Restore mode. Press Tab again to return to Information mode. As always, Lee's code includes helpful comments and is easy to read. |
