People, I need help... I hope somebody can answer me..
I am using AutoCAD 2007 verson and I do not know how to mesure the hozizontal distance between two points if these points have height. The standard command DIST does not give me the horizontal distance in that case.. I hope somebody can answer me...!!!!  ------------- Cuty |

You can use the distance command, but exclude the z value when you select the points. Do this with a filter (type ".xy" when prompted for point), or with "osnapz" variable setting (not sure available in 2007) |

First I want to apologize for not been clear enough, because in my work I need to be fast.Surely it does not take a lot of time to measure only one distance , but when you have a 30 - 40 it takes a lot of time.
The problem is I can not exclude the Z value because I need the height of the points, otherwise I would already done it. Is there maybe a command that will automatically give you horizontal distance (maybe in AutoCAD 2008 version)??? ------------- Cuty |

I apolologize in not being more clear in my response :)
By "excluding z" I was referring to filtering out the z value while using the "distance" command. Not changing the points in any way. Re-read my suggestions and see if they make more sense.
1. Set OSNAPZ to 1, then run the distance command, it will give you the x-y distance.
2. Use the ".xy" filter when selecting points in the distance command, supply "0" as the z values, it will give you the x-y distance.
if you do this a lot you could make a button macro or a lisp routine.

Truly ti makes more sense now. The thing is in that I now just that basic stuff about AutoCAD, so I have know idea what lisps or macrons are.
Would it be difficult to write a lisp of that assignment??? ------------- Cuty |

The macro & lisp code is straightforward. What's more difficult is describing how to make a button to assign the macro to, andr how to load a lisp routine. Macro code: ^C^C_distance;.xy;0;\.xy;0;\ (not sure the semicolon (enter) and backslash (pause) syntax is quite right Lisp code; (defun c:dx () (command "_distance" ".xy" "0" pause ".xy" "0" pause) (princ) ) To load the lisp code, you could copy and paste the 4 above lines to the command line. Then run it by typing "dx". |

Did you type "dx" after copying (loading) it? See i said explaining running the lisp was more involved; it was 3 steps: copy; paste, type "dx" :) |

Yes, I did as you sead, I copied it and then tiped "dx"
after that that in the command line appered this text: Command: .xy Unknown command "XY". Press F1 for help. Command: 0 Unknown command "0". Press F1 for help. ????? ------------- Cuty |

Sorry, apparently code was not as simple as I thought, I had wrong command (distance vs dist) and wrong input order, still didn't work right. So took a different approach, try this:

There is stil a problem, i have copied ti into the command bar, presed Enter and tiped "dx". This text shows:
Pick first point: Pick second point: (I pick points) And after that the program still doesnt give me the horizontal distance (it works like the normal dist command). Am I doing something wrong, I do not understand..??? ------------- Cuty |

| The code uses the regular "dist" command, but uses just the x-y values of the points you picked. So check the output and see if that is happening. |
