I have spent the last three days writing a lisp program that will copy a text string from one text file and paste it into another. I have tried using the write-string, get string, prin1, princ and print functions with no success.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there is a way that AutoCad can edit one text string and the same change can affect another text string, instead of editing the same thing twice.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to add text to a set of text strings in a drawing.
The tricky part is that not all of the text strings are the same.
For example, change part numbers
123, 125, 456, 892
to
123-70, 125-70, 456-70, 892-70
Is there a way to do this for all of the strings at once?
Is there a way when finding and replacing a text string to style the block of copy. My problem is that I have some color codes given by the customer that now need to be converted to our internal color matches on our production drawings.
The original string of text looks like this:
Holder: P1 (Metallic Silver)
What I’m getting when I go to replace this string is:
Holder: Natural Satin
What I want is:
Holder: Natural Satin
I do not want the replaced text to be italicized. I'm thinking since the original string ends with an italic style that the replacement string is also italicized. There are about 50 pages of drawings with about 10 colors on the job and some pages have them entered in more than one place. So that's a minimum of 500 entries and defititely more considereing the multiple places these are called out. I'd really rather not have to copy and paste all of these by hand. I'm use to FreeHand, which would respect the font styling of pasted text in the find and replace diaglog.
I have text with number string. ( eg: weight 50 kg, xyz weight 362 kg)i want to extract the number values of "50" & "362" from the text string.
View 9 Replies View Relatedi failed to find one which would change string of a text to other for all types of objects. I mean it was usually either only multitext, or only text, dimensions or attributes.creating one which would change in abt 200 drawings:
-001
-002
-003
to:
-00001
-00002
-00003
in attributes, text, multittext, leaders, multileaders, dimensions..... at the same moment?
It is meant to be used in ScriptPro (by loading lisp in script).
If not possible, then can also open each file and run the lisp in each of them - still would save lot of time.
I've been looking for a solution to remove the unit string ie Lbs, g, kg from the value given from a 'Mass' value in a text string.
As you may all know, creating text and having a 'physical property - mass' value...the unit string is there...
Lots of people on here have the problem...no-one has got a solution.
Until now...
Basically...open the part you need to get the mass property of in your text string.
Follow the instructions on this webpage...this is the first part...
[URL]
Basically, this creates a Mass property value in the parameters table that you can call on as a text parameter.
It's similar to the custom iproperty model - mass but NOT the same.
Once you have done this, you can go to the drawing of the part and create a text string in the drawing and call it up as shown in this procedure. BUT it still has the unit string.
Here's the best bit that you want to know...
To get RID of the unit string...open up the part again from the drawing...click on the parameter icon...find the user parameter...in the Nominal value column, right click on the value and you get a pop-up that gives you 3 options...
Custom Property Format, Make Multi Value & Delete Parameter.
Click on Custom Property Format.
The pop-up window comes up...showing you the property type...in my case...the 4 left columns read Text, g (grams), Format & Precision...
On the right hand side I have a Preview of the text...then 3 check boxes...Units string, Leading Zero's, Trailing Zero's.
Units string is checked.
Uncheck it.
Close it...Save your part...go back to the drawing and hey presto!...the text now shows the weight you require as a straight value...no units!
Does AutoCAD have a function to copy and increment text? Say I have a piece of text that says Area 1, I want to copy this text a number of times so that I get Area2, Area3, Area4 by just copying ..
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there an easy way to transfer the text inserted in one attribute and copy it over to another attribute in the same block? This is for a titleblock. We are currently using AutoCAD Electrical. We need to do this on over 10,000 drawings so we would like to be able to write a script or lisp routine so we could run a batch across all of the drawings.

View 2 Replies View RelatedInstead of adding text as a prefix or suffix i would like to know if it is possible aswell to remove text from within text: For example:
I have these texts "I am not good", "he is not good", "what not to be" And i would like to remove the word "not" from all selected text so i would get "i am good", "he is good" , "what to be". The set word not will always be the same, so there is no need for user string input.
I'm trying to copy editable text from a Word file into the text editor for GIMP. Before I upgraded to 2.8, this was possible, but now it seems not. I'm on 2.8.4 using OSX Mavericks on a Macbook Pro.
I'm a terrible speller and since GIMP doesn't support spell check, this was always my workaround.
I have a list ("temp.dwg" "temp2.dwg") and would like to add the string "insert text here" into each item in the list resulting in ("insert text heretemp.dwg" "insert textheretemp2.dwg"). how would i go about doing that using LISP?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a drawing which has hundreds of levels on and i'm trying to establish what the MEAN level is and the AVERAGE level. I thought the best way might be to extract the text to excel and perform it there but at the moment the only way i can do it is to copy and paste the text and its taking me forever. Is there a way to either a) extract text to excel or b) calculate a MEAN value based on texted selected?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI change a block's attributes programmatically using thisfunction I created:
private void UpdateAttributes(Database database, Detail det) { using (Transaction tr = database.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) { //Grab the BlockReference the detail refers to. BlockReference block = (BlockReference)tr.GetObject(det.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForRead); //Iterate over the Attribute ids. foreach (ObjectId [code].......
You can ignore the Detail and Detail Attribute objects as they are also user-defined. Also note that this function expects the database to be currently open for working on.
Everything in this function works fine, but there is a strange quirk that becomes noticeable only when I use this function to edit an attribute that has its "Invisible" property set to "No".
Below, is the original block that is edited via this function:
As you can see, the block has a number with 4 digits (for our purposes, call this the Block Number).
In a drawing, i have several text strings, 's', that i would like to change to a known block... is this able to be done? there are over 3000 's' in the drawing, hoping to change them all to the same block. let me know if this can be done.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI know it is easy to enter special characters in using “%%” escape sequence. However, if I am not entering in single or multiline text, but rather in a dimension annotation’s “override” field, I found that the newly entered text completely overrides the original dimensional annotation.
For example, if originally I had a diameter of 7.98, and I would like to put a Φ sign in front of it to make Φ7.98, but it seems that there is no way to preserve the original content of 7.98 together with the Φ sign.
Is it possible to keep the original measurement within the string? What is the special character representing the original measurement?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI don;t know what happen with this piece of code, I have checked it a million of times and seems to be well done. I'm trying to filter a previous selection and select Text or Mtext objects that are in the layer COTREF, and that contain the strings "%%c" AND "L" at the same time. The problem is that the code it's not selecting objects with the "L" included.
Here's the
(setq grupo1 (ssget "" '((0 . "TEXT,MTEXT")(8 . "COTREF")(-4 . "<AND")(1 . "*%%c*")(1 . "*L*")(-4 . "AND>"))))
The most unreasonable thing it's that I have 2 text objects exactly the same and when using this filter codes just one object it's selected (cyan cloud), check included DWG file.
I'v been searching about it and seems some persons are having problems with ssget filters in the newer versions of AutoCAD, I'm using 2012. I'm also suspecting for the character "%" which could be working as a wild-card, but as far as I know it is not.
I'm looking for a function to return the actual text from an mtext object.if there's a carraige return I wish to replace it with a space.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI was writing code for my custom .net extension dll and one of the procedure involved therein was to replace the Text of MTEXT and DBTEXT entities with some predetermined Text String. I am using C#, AutoCAD 2012, and Visual Studio 2010. Here is the part of code wherein I am trying to replace the Text String of the MTEXT or DBTEXT entities.
foreach (SelectedObject selectedObject in selectionSet) { Entity currentEntity = transaction.GetObject(selectedObject.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite, false) as Entity; if (currentEntity == null) { continue; } if (currentEntity.GetType() == typeof(MText)) { ((MText)currentEntity).Contents = textToCopy; } else { ((DBText)currentEntity).TextString = textToCopy; } } transaction.Commit();
The issue is that the text of the MTEXT or DBTEXT is not getting replaced with the string I am trying to. I debugged the code and it correctly hits the setting of MText.Contents == "Some String" and also transaction.commit(). But the text of the MTEXT still remains to the old value. Is this the correct way of changing the text of MTEXT / DBTEXT through the .Net API.
