;;; --------------------------------------------------------------------- ;;; SNAPGRID-bgol.lsp ;;; Command: STG ;;; ;;; PURPOSE ;;; Snaps the insertion point of selected TEXT entities onto the ;;; nearest point of a regular grid, defined by a chosen grid spacing. ;;; Ensures elevation/point label data conforms to strict ;;; grid-coordinate requirements of downstream GIS/terrain software. ;;; ;;; USAGE ;;; 1. Load this file (APPLOAD or drag-drop onto the drawing window). ;;; 2. Type STG at the command line and press Enter. ;;; 3. Select one or more TEXT entities to snap. ;;; 4. Enter the grid spacing. ;;; 5. Each selected text's insertion point is moved to the nearest ;;; grid intersection (X and Y each rounded to the nearest ;;; multiple of the spacing). A small marker circle is drawn at ;;; the new point on layer "BGOL-STG" for visual confirmation. ;;; ;;; NOTES ;;; - Modifies the selected TEXT entities in place (their insertion ;;; point only; the text string/height/style are unchanged). ;;; - This is an original, independently written implementation. ;;; It is INSPIRED by the general idea of grid-snapping utilities ;;; common in survey/GIS 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) (defun BGOL:STG-EnsureLayer (lname / ) (if (not (tblsearch "LAYER" lname)) (entmake (list '(0 .
