Hi,
I'm trying to create a sundial (board, stick, shadow) for various locations with a script file. Coordinates are created by an Excel program and then copied into the script.
When I write in the script (language is German)
Three layers - board, lines & stick do exist already in the drawing:
****************************************************
layer setzen lines
_line 0,0,0

_line 0,0,0
-22.2875183144474,884.034198085051,0
****************************************************
All is well, but when I start differently:
****************************************************
layer setzen board
_box -500,-100,-10
500,900,0
layer setzen stick
_cylinder 0,-6.13672013486127,-5

_line 0,0,0
-22.2875183144474,884.034198085051,0
************************************************
The lines do not start from 0,0,0 as I would expect, but from a point near the stick. And the longest line does not make sense at all.
Any idea where I go wrong?
Regards
Norbert

Your endpoints may get "osnapped" to the existing geometry. Try to switch off osnaps (OSNAP=0).

Thanks,
it worked, even if it doesn't makes any sense.
In this German installation of AutoCAD the osnap = ofang = F3
Thanks again.

If you mean that script-generated coordinates shouldn't be influenced by OSNAP, check the OSNAPCOORD variable (should be > 0).
