;;; --------------------------------------------------------------------- ;;; NODEBLK-bgol.lsp ;;; Command: IBNP ;;; ;;; PURPOSE ;;; Inserts a chosen block at the endpoints, intersections, or both, of ;;; a set of selected lines/polylines. Useful for marking junction / ;;; node points in drainage, road, or pipeline network drawings. ;;; ;;; USAGE ;;; 1. Load this file (APPLOAD or drag-drop onto the drawing window). ;;; 2. Type IBNP at the command line and press Enter. ;;; 3. Choose a mode: [Intersections/Endpoints/Both] . ;;; 4. Select the lines/polylines to process, then press Enter. ;;; 5. Type the name of the block to insert. ;;; 6. The routine finds the relevant junction points (per the chosen ;;; mode) and inserts a copy of the block at each, on layer ;;; "BGOL-IBNP". Coincident points are only marked once. ;;; ;;; NOTES ;;; - Intersections are computed pairwise between all selected ;;; entities using vlax-invoke's IntersectWith (acExtendNone). ;;; - Endpoints are read via vlax-curve-getStartPoint / EndPoint, ;;; which works for LINE, LWPOLYLINE and ARC alike. ;;; - Block scale and rotation default to 1/1/0; edit ;;; *bgol-ibnp-scale* and *bgol-ibnp-rot* below to change defaults. ;;; - This is an original, independently written implementation. ;;; It is INSPIRED by the general idea of automatic junction/node ;;; marking common in utility and drainage network drafting ;;; 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) (setq *bgol-ibnp-scale* 1.0) (setq *bgol-ibnp-rot* 0.0) (setq *bgol-ibnp-tol* 0.001) (defun BGOL:IBNP-EnsureLayer (lname / ) (if (not (tblsearch "LAYER" lname)) (entmake (list '(0 .
