;;; --------------------------------------------------------------------- ;;; ZSHIFT-bgol.lsp ;;; Command: ZADD ;;; ;;; PURPOSE ;;; Adds a specified offset value to the Z (elevation) coordinate of ;;; every selected entity in one operation. Provides a bulk Z-shift ;;; capability that native AutoCAD lacks for arbitrary selections, ;;; useful for correcting a systematic elevation/datum error or moving ;;; a point set from a local to a real datum. ;;; ;;; USAGE ;;; 1. Load this file (APPLOAD or drag-drop onto the drawing window). ;;; 2. Type ZADD at the command line and press Enter. ;;; 3. Select the entities to shift (points, blocks, text, etc. -- ;;; anything with a DXF group 10 base/insertion point). ;;; 4. Enter the value to add to Z (may be negative to lower). ;;; 5. Every selected entity's base point Z coordinate is updated in ;;; place, and a small confirmation marker is drawn at each new ;;; position on layer "BGOL-ZADD". ;;; ;;; NOTES ;;; - Modifies entities in place (only the Z of their DXF group 10 ;;; point); other geometry/content is unchanged. ;;; - This is an original, independently written implementation. ;;; It is INSPIRED by the general idea of bulk elevation-offset ;;; utilities common in survey 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:ZADD-EnsureLayer (lname / ) (if (not (tblsearch "LAYER" lname)) (entmake (list '(0 .
