Layout lisp

[rickquin651723]

Hey there LISP'ers, I've got a big ask and I'm hoping y'all can help out.
I found a LISP that creates multiple layouts based on polylines, you tell it the length, width, and overlap of the viewport and it creates hundreds of layouts very quickly, kinda like what C3D does with viewports and alignments, only you don't need viewports and alignments!! (Some of our drafters don't use Civil).
It creates the sheets, names the layout tabs along the length of the polyline, it's pretty stinking genius, really. The problem with this particular LISP is it fails to cut the MViews.

I was wondering if anyone has run across a LISP like this that runs through to completion?

Thanks in advance!

PS....Hey Opie!

Can you share the code? There may be something in the code that is not functioning correctly. However, if it is proprietary, then please don't share it.

I was wondering about that myself. It was posted on another public forum that I found via Google. Thoughts?

Use this - AutoViewport

The other forum is Cadtutor code links are there and the advanced version by Maratovich.

The code posted in the CadTutor thread has an error in the CLO subroutine. It is naming the layouts with decimals in the numbers to string conversion, but the ALS subroutine is setting those layouts as integers to strings. Changing the CLO to use ITOA instead of RTOS should make it work as expected.
