Hi Alex,

Found some time to write something for you.

Please use the standard drawing that you posted (or the Panel_Inch attached), the lisp is based on that drawing.

The Lisp i wrote will "stretch" the lenght and width.
If Gap is required open the lisp (notepad) and check this rule "If Gap required set Lgap 0.00 to 0.05 or Up"
 
Load the lisp with Appload and type STRPLA on the command bar to Run.
 
Hope that this will help you.
 
Regards

ps i am used to the metric system Cool and decimal settings.

Kent Cooper has brought up some very valid points.  Can we get some response?

That should be able to be automated, but (whether you're going for something like an AutoLisp routine or a dynamic Block) questions arise.  For instance, in this image, should the C dimensions remain constant (as seems likely to me), or should they be affected by changes in outside dimensions?  Should the A dimensions remain constant, or should the ratio between the A's and the B's be the constant, or is there some other criterion for positioning the holes (if that's what those circles are) in that direction?  Should the hole diameters remain constant?
Since the inner red and blue lines are not the same lengths as the outer ones, should the lengths of those lines be adjusted equally as overall dimensions change, or proportionally?  That is, if you need a layout that's 3" shorter in the red-lines direction, should each red line be made 1" shorter, or should the longer middle one have more removed from it than the shorter end ones, so that the ratio of their lengths remains the same?]]> Mon, 01 Aug 2016 20:22:47 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=11934&PID=32334&title=automatic-design-based-on-variables#32334 <![CDATA[Automatic design based on variables : No blocks yet?

Be careful what you wish for.  I know where your mother lives.

Hey!  You were the one that came up with the idea so consider it a challenge.  You asked for it....now show us your stuff.  When can we expect the first twelve blocks?

Now give him a list of some of the sizes that are required.  Maybe Ron will create most of your blocks for you.  He seems willing.
