    Thank you,
    hello... I am using map2006... but, I am not familiar with a command dpl (get unknown command when typing that in at the command line)... is that a custom alias/shortcut?

    ah, thank you.

    I run the cal command, then use the above expression and I get the error: "AutoLISP variable P has no value" (sorry, this isn't really a tool I'm used to using, hopefully someone else will read this and know what to do)

    Hi

    Have you reviewed the following from the AutoCAD Online Help File [F1]...

    Contents tab -> Command Reference -> Commands -> C Commands -> CAL -> Using AutoLISP Variables

    &

    Contents tab -> Command Reference -> Commands -> C Commands -> CAL -> Calculating a Distance

    Therefore you could define p, p1 & p2 something like...

    (setq p (getpoint))
    (setq p1 (getpoint))
    (setq p2 (getpoint))

    Then use the CAL command...

    Command: _.Cal
    >> Expression: dpl(p,p1,p2)

    Have a good one, Mike
