#QUESTION ON AUTOCAD
4 messages in this thread
I AM USING AUTOCAD 2.6 AND NEED TO MAKE POSITION CHANGES ON THE DRAWING WITH
OUT DRAWING LINES TO THE NEW POSITION. CAN THIS BE DONE? IS THERE AN
AUTO-LISP ROUTINE I CAN USE TO ACCOMPLISH THIS?

We'd like to help you out. Can you be more specific about what you are
trying to do?

Richard —
If you need to move something in the drawing from one location to
another, the MOVE command should do the trick. For example, say that you
want to move some objects 10 units in a positive X direction and 5 units
in a positive Y direction, relative to their current position:
..
Command: MOVE <cr>
Select objects: <make a selection set>
Select objects: <cr>
Base point or displacement: <pick some point with the cursor>
Second point of displacement: @10,5 <cr>
..
The <cr>s stand for the carriage return or ENTER key. Does this
help?

You need to perform a relational move? That can be done in 2.6 with either
lisp or .XY filters. I think there is even a lisp routine in Dl2 that may do
what you seem to be looking for. lease be more specific as to what you are
attempting to do.
