I am not too fluent in Arch Desktop 2002 2006 and am wondering if someone could share a DWG that can be used as the starting point for drawing a set of house plans.
Ideally 3D model space would already have layers defined and layout viewports at the 36x24 planview boundarys would have tabs for...

Does anyone know a source for geometric solutions,
either as a called library DLL or the acutal formula/solution?
ie; Resulting polygon vertices resulting from the intersection of two 2d polygons
I am about to write my own concrete retaining wall excel-spreadsheet.
Does anyone have an un-protected (not for sale) sheet (or source) I could use as a starting point?
I have a fabricating machine which uses a stepper-motor-chain-feed combination to move 2x4 wood up to 24' along its axis. The stepper is pulsed for the calibrated/required movement but the actual movement accuracy is lacking.
I am looking for a measurement method/device which will give the woods...
I have written both LISP routines and VB code for automation control with AutoCAD, and found the LISP to be more cumbersome. Does anyone know of a software program that will convert my remaining LISP routines into VB code automatically?
How can a row be hidden based on
-a cell value in that row or
-the format-pattern color of a cell in the row
I would like to see all rows, but when I go to print, certain rows would be hidden
When drawing house plans using R14 I find it useful to have layer names that have information unique to each sheet that will be plotted; for example
A1_Dim would have dimensions for only the Arch (not struc)
A1_S1_Dim would have dimensions common to both.
Ive written a LISP routine that turns...

I am considering writing a VB automation routine which once you have a 3D object drawn, the pgm would split to 4 views automatically ( plan, end, front, perspective ). I can see how to do that but is there a way to dimension the 3D object once and have the dimensioning come out on all views...

I am just begining to code a routine in LISP ACAD R14.
I get an error using the midpoint on a line function;

Error message is "Invalid dotted pairs".
LISP seems over parenthesized and ilogic (but must work).
I bought VB6 and have programmed for 25 years but ACAD...
