Frequent tipster Kent Cooper is back this month with another improved version of an existing tip. Cadalyst CAD Tip No. 1260 by Jason Cox draws a pipe end in AutoCAD, and Kent has expanded on this in two important ways. First off, the new routine will draw one of four types of end (Line, Cut-Line, Pipe-end, or Arc); secondly, it will work with almost any entities as long as they are aiming in the same direction and are aligned. They can even be two different types of entities, such as a line and a polyline. It even works on mline entities, in which case only one pick is needed. Load the LISP file and type in the command CE to get started. Kent has included a great screenshot that's worth 1,000 words; refer to the image below (and the well-documented LISP code) for more details. Thanks, Kent. |
