;;; --------------------------------------------------------------------- ;;; CRVDTL-bgol.lsp ;;; Command: CVDT ;;; ;;; PURPOSE ;;; Scans a selected alignment polyline (LWPOLYLINE) for arc segments ;;; (vertices with a non-zero bulge) and, for every curve found in ;;; alignment order, computes and reports the deflection angle, ;;; circular radius, curve length, and starting/ending chainage. ;;; A default design Speed is prompted once and stamped on every curve. ;;; Results are written as text blocks next to each curve, and echoed ;;; to the command line / text screen. ;;; ;;; USAGE ;;; 1. Load this file (APPLOAD or drag-drop onto the drawing window). ;;; 2. Type CVDT at the command line and press Enter. ;;; 3. Select the alignment polyline containing one or more curves. ;;; 4. Enter a default design speed when prompted. ;;; 5. For every curve (bulge segment) found, a small design-details ;;; table (Curve Name, Deflection Angle, Radius, Transition Length, ;;; Start/End Chainage, Curve Length, Speed) is written as text ;;; entities near the curve's midpoint, on layer "BGOL-CVDT". ;;; ;;; NOTES ;;; - Transition Length defaults to 0; edit per-curve manually if a ;;; real transition length is known. ;;; - This is an original, independently written implementation. ;;; It is INSPIRED by the general idea of curve-data-extraction ;;; utilities common in road/rail/channel alignment design ;;; workflows, but the code, command name and file name here are ;;; new and are NOT copied from, nor identical to, any specific ;;; third-party product. ;;; ;;; --------------------------------------------------------------------- ;;; Developed and shared for the CAD community by: BGol Community ;;; Community website: https://bgol.in/ ;;; License: Open-source & free to use, modify, and share for all. ;;; Provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. ;;; --------------------------------------------------------------------- (vl-load-com) (defun BGOL:CVDT-EnsureLayer (lname / ) (if (not (tblsearch "LAYER" lname)) (entmake (list '(0 .
