AUTOLISP FUNCTION FOR DIMENSIONING CHAMFERS IN AUTOCAD

Abstract

AutoCAD, one of the most popular drawing programs, has enriched over time the facilities offered in making drawings in terms of how to use different graphics, symbols, accuracy, speed, interface, etc. One aspect that gives it an advantage over other drawing programs is the ability to use the AutoLisp language in creating user’s functions that can be used as commands in AutoCAD. In this article, the authors present a function made in AutoLisp, which, for the parts drawn in Autocad, facilitates the automatic dimensioning of the chamfers, in the usual format, considering the scale of the respective drawing or detail.
