How to quickly draw a twisted pair of wires in AutoCAD?
If you use AutoCAD and need to draw twisted wires for electrical or communication purposes, consider using an AutoCAD LISP routine.
In this blog post, I will show you how to use a LISP routine to draw a twisted pair of wires in AutoCAD with ease.
What is the AutoCAD LISP and how do you upload it to AutoCAD?
After you have uploaded the LISP file, you need to type '2WIST' to activate it.
Enter the wire diameter.
Select the degree of twist (between 5 and 85).
Finally, pick the starting point and the endpoint.
You can download the lisp from here.
Conclusion:
With the help of the LISP routine, drawing a twisted pair of wires in AutoCAD becomes a breeze. It is much faster and easier than using the standard commands. Additionally, the TWSET command enables you to customize various properties of the twisted pair of wires, such as the diameter, pitch, length, and layer. The LISP routine also displays the length and angle of the twisted pair of wires in the dialog box, making it easier for you to keep track of your work.
I hope you find this LISP routine useful and helpful for your AutoCAD projects. If you have any questions or feedback, please leave a comment below or contact me. Thank you for reading and happy drawing!
