How to add quick Boreholes to your drawings in AutoCAD 2023 using an AutoCAD Lisp

How to add quick Boreholes to your drawings in AutoCAD?

If you are working on a project requiring boreholes, you might wonder how to add them to your AutoCAD drawings quickly and easily. Boreholes are vertical holes drilled into the ground to collect soil samples, test water quality, or install underground structures. They are often represented by symbols or labels on a plan or cross-section view.

Introduction to AutoCAD.

In this blog post, I will show you how to use an AutoCAD Lisp to add boreholes to your drawings in AutoCAD 2023. This Lisp will allow you to draw boreholes with different diameters, depths, and labels. You can also specify the boreholes' layer, color, and line type. The Lisp will also create a table with the borehole information, such as number, coordinates, elevation, and description.

What is the AutoCAD LISP and how do you upload it to AutoCAD?

After you have uploaded the LISP file, you can type 'BN' for the increment borehole number, type 'BSN' for the increment borehole sub-number, type 'RES' to reset the prefix text variable, or type 'BHT' to place the borehole table.

Enter Prefix Text.

Enter the Starting Number.

Finally, pick the borehole's location.
