;;; --------------------------------------------------------------------- ;;; LENSORT-bgol.lsp ;;; Command: LSRT ;;; ;;; PURPOSE ;;; Filters a selection of polylines by length: every polyline shorter ;;; than a user-specified threshold is moved onto a dedicated layer ;;; ("BGOL-LSRT-SHORT"), making tiny, insignificant broken line ;;; fragments (from imprecise digitizing, breakline errors, etc.) easy ;;; to review, freeze, or delete in bulk. ;;; ;;; USAGE ;;; 1. Load this file (APPLOAD or drag-drop onto the drawing window). ;;; 2. Type LSRT at the command line and press Enter. ;;; 3. Enter the length threshold. ;;; 4. Select all the polylines to check against that threshold. ;;; 5. Every polyline shorter than the threshold is moved onto layer ;;; "BGOL-LSRT-SHORT"; longer ones are left untouched. ;;; ;;; NOTES ;;; - Non-destructive: entities are moved to a review layer, not ;;; deleted, so you can inspect the flagged short polylines before ;;; committing to freeze/delete them. ;;; - This is an original, independently written implementation. ;;; It is INSPIRED by the general idea of length-based polyline ;;; filtering utilities common in civil/infrastructure 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:LSRT-EnsureLayer (lname / ) (if (not (tblsearch "LAYER" lname)) (entmake (list '(0 .
