Custom text justification

[jlogan02]

Has anyone had any experience with creating justifications based on distance from an object? In other words...

I want to allow the user to select a specific justification from a dialog or prompt and place the start point of the text "x" distance from the from an object.

Is this possible?

Hi jlogan02,
What you want maybe like this.

(defun c:test (/ loc str th rot el sse tb len opt tex tex1 just p2)
  (setq loc (getpoint "\nClick any location in drawing area<0,0,0>: "))
  (if (= loc nil)(setq loc '(0 0 0)))
  (setq str "Adesu")
  (setq th 1)
  (setq rot 0)
  (command "_text" loc th "" str rot)
  (setq el (entlast))
  (setq sse (entget el))
  (setq tb (textbox sse))   
  (setq len (caadr tb))
  (initget "R r C c L l")
  (setq opt (getkword "\nSelect option [(r)ight,(c)enter,(l)eft]<c>: "))
  (if (= opt nil)(setq opt "C"))
  (setq tex "\nEnter justification distance from point object: ")
  (setq tex1 (strcat "[current length of text = " (rtos len 2 5) " ]"))
  (command "_erase" el "")
  (cond ((= opt "R")
	 (progn
	   (setq just (getdist (strcat tex tex1 "<0>: ")))
	   (if (= just nil)(setq just '(0)))
	   (setq p2 (polar loc 0 just))
	   (command "_text" p2 th "" str rot)
	   )                                  ; progn
	 )
	((= opt "C")
	 (progn
	   (setq just (/ len 2.0))
	   (setq p2 (polar loc pi just))
	   (command "_text" p2 th "" str rot)
	   )                                  ; progn
	 )
	((= opt "L")
	 (progn
	   (setq just (getdist (strcat tex tex1 "<0>: ")))
	   (if (= just nil)(setq just '(0)))
	   (setq p2 (polar loc pi just))
	   (command "_text" p2 th "" str rot)
	   )                                  ; progn
	 )
	)                                     ; cond
  (princ)
  )                                           ; defun
