This is a new version of ‘kotvysk.lsp’ - version 1.60. Change
list: - Is supported Czech language now (can be set editing in begin of lisp file). ![]() - If is insert block and attribute is to long, dynamic property of block is adapted as it is needed. - If is units setting to inches (feet and fractional inches), and block is insert width height=0 is format 0†changed to 0’-0â€. I hope that it is correct. attachments: New version of LISP: 'kotvysk_EN_version_1.60.001.lsp' kotyvysk-v1.60.lsp Edited by AlfredCZ - 20.Mar.2011 at 09:21 |

Thank you for your answer, it was helpful. Alfred tried to modify LISP. We upload new version, that support inches and feet. We need somebody for testing, please – somebody who is accustomed drawing in inches and feet. You can find two files with examples – for inches and for metric units. Command list in LISP:
Other commands:
Attachments: SH_v2 - new version of LISP 'kotvysk_EN_version_1.57.001.lsp' and needed blocks.' SH_example - example files for mm and inches Sorry for our English – We hope, you understand us. Thanks for help Edited by PepaR - 17.Mar.2011 at 09:32 |

It appears he is speaking of buildings as that is the example that he is showing in one of his posts.

Most architectural CAD drawings I've dealt with have their units set to "architectural" (feet and inches) and the Precision set to either 1/8' or 1/16".
Dimensioning is done using feet and inches plus fractions of an inch where called for. Example: 12'-6 1/2". Floor heights are given in feet and inches plus fractions of an inch where called for. For printing/plotting purposes the two most frequently used scales would be 1/4"=1'-0" and 1/8"=1'-0". But, with the introduction of paper space layouts these values would be used as viewport scales. The drawing itself would be plotted 1:1 as it should be for any layout. |

I have a few questions
about construction drawing traditions in countries where is used
inches and feet. For example when you draw a house. - Which units do you use for drawing usually? 1 AutoCad unit = 1 in, or ft? [We use millimeter] - In dimension do you use the same units? [We use millimeter] - Which units do you use for notation of high in house? [We use meter] - For printing - what measurement do you use? [We use mostly 1:50, sometimes 1:100 or 1:20] Edited by AlfredCZ - 13.Mar.2011 at 11:54 |

Yes, the term "spot height" is what made me think they were talking about spot elevations. It seems their routine does something different than what I was expecting.

Height of floor and height of house are terms I am very familiar with. But the lisp routine mentions "spot height". Is this in reference to a building or an elevation of the ground? That's what I'm puzzling over. I have not had a chance to download and try it yet.

We talk about height of floor or height of house, for example. We don't talk about altitude in map.
Look at this example drawing - http://alfredcadpage.wz.cz/kotavysk/example-mm.dwg |

After reading the initial post that started this thread I guess I'm still confused. It refers to "spot heights". When someone uses the word "height" I immediately think of a building. When someone says "elevation" I immediately think of a survey, perhaps a contour map or a site plan with "spot elevations". The nuance of speech is sometimes our worst enemy especially when we start conversing around the world with our counterparts in England, Asia, central Europe, etc.
