;;; --------------------------------------------------------------------- ;;; XPTMARK-bgol.lsp ;;; Command: XPM ;;; ;;; PURPOSE ;;; Finds every point where selected LINE, ARC and/or LWPOLYLINE ;;; entities intersect one another and marks each intersection point ;;; with a visible circle. Handles mixed entity types (including arcs) ;;; in a single command, using the ActiveX IntersectWith method rather ;;; than separate per-type geometric formulas. ;;; ;;; USAGE ;;; 1. Load this file (APPLOAD or drag-drop onto the drawing window). ;;; 2. Type XPM at the command line and press Enter. ;;; 3. Select multiple LINE / ARC / LWPOLYLINE entities. ;;; 4. Every intersection point among the selected entities is marked ;;; with a small circle on layer "BGOL-XPM". The selected entities ;;; are left untouched. ;;; ;;; NOTES ;;; - This is an original, independently written implementation. ;;; It is INSPIRED by the general idea of intersection-marking ;;; utilities common in CAD/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) (setq *bgol-xpm-radius* 1.5) (defun BGOL:XPM-EnsureLayer (lname / ) (if (not (tblsearch "LAYER" lname)) (entmake (list '(0 .
