AutoLISP: X Shape Wall Intersection Clean Up

Link to AutoCAD Tips

This is the last of the wall intersection clean up routines that I have. This one does X-shape (cross shape) intersections.

Command to start:

  • WALL-X <enter>

This routine acts the same as the others
in that it lets you simply make a selection set of the crossing objects first and then specify the outside of the walls (shown below).

You can also simply use the default setting which lets you simply make a selection window over the intersection and the routine will clean up the intersections for you (shown below).

    Hi,
    I have tried the other wall cleanup (t & l) commands and they work like a charm, both in Acad 2012 and 2015!
    This one however only works in 2012, I get a VVC: Internal Error when running it in 2015.
    I have found that it has something to do with command arguments in mapcar, and that they need to be changed into command-s:

    http://docs.autodesk.com/ACDMAC/2014/ENU/index.html?url=files/GUID-5C9DC003-3DD2-4770-95E7-7E19A4EE19A1.htm,topicNumber=d30e351208

    and

    http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-mep/troubleshooting/caas/discussion/t5/Visual-LISP-AutoLISP-and-General/Lisp-Problems-in-2015/td-p/4992168.html

    However, I can’t understand which one needs to be changed. Can you look into it?

    Thanks in advance,

    Tassos Ringas
