News: A html page show souce code of the app is available here

See how to create html web page for your lisp project here

This is a collection of 3 nice commands I often use.

1. CA: copy objects in an array-like way.

I like using this instead of array command. In most simple cases it works. You can create an array of grid lines, or rebars etc. at various spacing using this command.

2. RA: This is similar to CA command, except now you are rotating objects.

3. 7BRPURLINS

This command is for steelwork. Select purlin lines and enter lapping length. The code will automatically find crossing lines (they can be columns or beams or trusses) and break each purlin at every intersection point, extend each purlin to both sides a distance exactly equal to your specified lapping length.

More interesting, run this and select purlin lines once again, but now enter new lapping length. It still works!

 Note:

• the spacing between 2 purlins is scaled to your current dimension text height.
  
• to have your column or beam lines auto-selected, their linetypes should be continuous.
  
• in the screenshot, I lock layers except purlin layer. Therefore, I can select purlins quickly by 1 crossing window.
