Auto Labeling Lisp [Archive]

I have imported electrical grids into Map3D via a shapefile. Each grid is populated with a circuit name (ckt_name). I was wondering if there is a lisp routine that will pull that particular attribute and produce a label along the border of the circuit (closed polyline). If I could choose the font and text height it would be a plus.

My ultimate goal is to have a clean label for both circuits along the borders so when zoomed in you can tell which circuit is which. I have attached a cad file with 4 circuits.

Maybe I'm wrong , but I do not see any grid , name , only 4 polylines

Please clear it , and draw a sample text to be used as example.

In essence, the polylines are what we consider our grids. The polylines have attributes attached to it including ckt_name. I was hoping to have a lisp that would pull the name from that attribute from each grid (polylines) and label it around the border of each polylines.

Could you go to options and change the saveas format to a lower version.

I had trouble opening your file.

The labelling around the border is the easy part, as you have imported a GIS Shape file you need to have Map or CIV3d to extract the data from each pline. This link should help.

Need a bit more info about how often the lable is to appear
