Depends on what they want to "update". If they just want to change the dimension text, then sure, the operator could select the text entities and pass the selection-set on to an AutoLISP function that would make the changes. Anything more than that would get very complex very quickly…that't the…
Emmanuel — Try this. It doesn't write to a file, but you should be able to modify the code to do so. ; AutoCAD Command function P-AREA for Version 2.6 and Release 9 ; Returns total area of all POLYLINES on a user-specified LAYER. ; Does NOT trap for invalid…

Hmmm. I just tried what you described, and it worked as documented. Could you give us some examples of the code you're having trouble with?

Rusty — Oh. Sure. In fact, some sort of translation table capability makes sense with AEC, doesn't it? — Brad ..
Gregg — Thanks for the comments on AutoShade. I'm sure they'll be passed along to Product Management. Gee, I'd love to read the article, only we don't have the March issue of CADalyst here in the office. I'll certainly look for it as soon as I receive a copy. —…
Jeff — Ok, that's another vote for allowing the text in an associative dimension to assume a color other than that of the rest of the entity. It's been on the Wishlist before. Making a change like that isn't as simple as it appears. Consider that an AutoLISP entity association…
Roger — Ok, I see what's going on. The ATTEDIT command must be fed the entity name of the ATTRIB, not the INSERT. The ATTRIB in this case follows the INSERT in the database, so insert this line: .. (progn (setq ename (ssname sset 0)) (setq ename (entnext ename)) ;new…
Michael — What graphics card are you using? AutoFlix runs on the IBM EGA (and 100% compatibles), and ONLY the EGA. That could be the problem. If you are using an EGA, could you please give us more information about your hardware/software setup? — Brad ..
Roger — Ok, I'll look at it this evening. — Brad ..

geographic databases
Message #21245
Ron — You can use a menu item to use the endpoints of an existing polyline as the endpoints of the first segment of a new polyline. The AREA command can then calculate the area and perimeter of the new polyline. BTW, in Version 2.6 we introduced a "running" mode…
.6 Mhz limit
Message #21244
Craig — Yes, there are all kinds of hardware compatibility issues that come up when you start running stuff at 20 mhz. The general rule is still, "Try before you buy." I was one of the early experimenters who discovered that there were indeed some significant problems with certain graphics…
