AutoLISP routine to calculate the total weight of steel

[CISCO]

Witch code did you copy and pasted.


If the error come up when you are loading the lisp file the you did not copy and pasted the code right.Try to save the file and load it, no need to copy and past. You my be missing a ( ) or " in the code you copped.



If it was my code to display the weight and theckness on the status line.
The command is Startarea. Then you need to do a area command.
Use the command Setth to set the Theckness
Use the command endarea to set the status line back to the way it was.

If it was the CalcWt.lsp by Written by: R. Robert Bell the command is CalcWt.

Ok, i tried yours and this is what i got...

Command: SETTH
; error: Automation Error. Problem in loading VBA

I am using acad 2012.

When i used Roberts, it loaded...but the answer I received is not accurate. It may have to do with the units I imagine. I am using arch units to draw, so I am entering a thickness in inches to get the pounds.
I would like to select the boundary or polyline, enter the thickness (inches) and get the weight in pounds. Thanks.

for VBA to work in 2012, do you have the VBA enabler installed?

I don't have the vba enabler. Any suggestions on where I can get it?
