AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Routine For Multiple Paper Space Layout Tabs
Nov 25, 2013Any LISP routine that can create multiple paper space layout tabs and can name them incrementally. I have a template and I wanted to copy tab2 of my layout multiple times and name them incrementally. I have a code shown below that comes close to what I need it to do but it creates a "New Layout" instead of copying the tab I need it to. Please see code below:
(vl-load-com)(defun c:LAYOUT+ (/ *error* prefix i n acDoc oLayouts layoutName) (defun *error* (msg) (if acDoc (vla-endundomark acDoc) ) (cond ((not msg)) ; Normal exit ((member msg '("Function cancelled" "quit / exit abort"))) ; <esc> or (quit) ((princ (strcat "
** Error: " msg " ** "))) ; Fatal error, display it ) (princ) ) (if (and (setq prefix (getstring "
Enter layout name prefix: "))
[Code] ......
AutoCAD Map 3D :: Rename Multiple Layout Tabs
Nov 30, 2010I am currently working on a large drawing that has many tabs (145), I have made a mistake midway and would like to find a way I can rename them quicker than "Right Clicking" on each tab to change it. That will be very time consuming.
Also, is there a way to print a list of all of the current layouts within a drawing.

I went to Options/Display Tab, and under the pannel of "Layouts elements" the box of "Display Layout and Model Tabs" is checked, yet, I can't witness this diplayed. Even if I have to toggle something to make it hidden and displayed, where is the place for that? See the pictures of my settings and the Drawing area.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Lisp Routine To Read From Directory Which Has Multiple Folders?
Jul 10, 2012Having trouble with my lisp routine to read from a directory which includes several folders. There is no problem when the files are all mixed in the directory but when dealing with hundreds of files, it makes sense to organize files by types.
Using (ade_aliasadd "BASE" "S:\") and there is no problems when the files are actually there and not in a subfolder called APN_DWG or EAS_DWG. Should I be setting up the environment differently and if so how?
AutoCAD 2013 :: Model Documentation Generated Views In Paperspace Layout Tabs
Dec 12, 2012My group and I are getting an infrequent but annoying problem with Model Documentation (MD) generated views in paperspace layout tabs. We all on autocad 2013, with sp1.1 installed on x64 machines.
We are seeing objects/ blocks showing in the MD views (viewbase created) in the layout that are no longer in model space. One common factor in this is that these objects seem to always be externally referenced (xref) files that have been either unloaded or completely detached (both cases purges preformed afterwards to wipe any remaining blocks made no difference). In this latest case the ghost objects show up twice (we needed 2 of the same xref) at what appears to be the correct old coordinates.
We have no work around for this and when this occurs we either have to revert to an older version from vault or create a new dwg, port all information over and recreate all views. The interesting thing about this problem is that if we revert to an older version from vault, the ghosts do not reappear/ reoccur at the same commands they appeared at previously.
AutoCAD 2013 :: 2014 Crash When Switching From Model Space To Layout Tabs
May 17, 2013I have been using AutoCAD 2014 for a couple of weeks now and there seems to be a problem when switching from the model tab to the layouts.
This is the problem i have: I draft my plans in model space as usual, once i finish that, i want to go to the layout tab
where the titleblock is and modify its attributes. When switching, AutoCAD crashes, it allows me to save a recovery file but it closes the program completley.
I have submited the error report to AutoDesk but i have not seen any other comments about it.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Routine That Opens Multiple Script Files
Aug 9, 2013Is there a way to have a Lisp Routine open multiple script files?
I have 10 types of scripts, that are specific to the type of file they open (as shown below). which simply open a file, purge/audit, save and close.
open "Q:PROJECTS321700Field ManagementCoordinationElectricalSleeving613321700_ES-613-Lev01.dwg"audit y-purge all * n-purge R * naudit yqsavecloseopen "Q:PROJECTS321700Field ManagementCoordinationElectricalSleeving613321700_ES-613-Lev02.dwg"audit y-purge all * n-purge R * naudit yqsaveclose The file above was named ES-613.
I would like to create a Lisp Routine that opens this script, *Some how closes the file*, and then opens another script.
For example:(defun c:Audit-Purge ()(command ".SCRIPT" "O:/Users/Kurt N/Script/Novartis/NovartisPURGE/ES-615.scr")(PROMPT "ES-615 Done.")(princ)(command ".SCRIPT" "O:/Users/Kurt N/Script/Novartis/NovartisPURGE/ES-613.scr")(PROMPT "ES-613 Done.")(princ)ECT>>....)

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Switching Layout Tabs By Clicking On The Tabs?
Sep 19, 2013issues switching layout tabs by clicking on the tabs?
Occasionally, clicking the Model or other layout tab results in no action, as if I'm not clicking on it.
All other controls (within and external to C3D) function normally so it's not a mouse hardware issue.
It will usually correct itself if I "restore down" the main application window, then maximize it again.
The -layout command is a workaround too.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Get Routine To Work In 2013
Oct 16, 2012I don't do a lot of programming and when I do it is mostly with older lisp commands. I have routine that works in 2010 but we are switching to 2013 and it doesn't work. The routine assigns the area of a polyline to a field. The portion of the routine that isn't working is where it assigns the object id for the polyline. Here is that portion of the routine:
;; select an object
(if (setq ent (entsel))
(progn
(setq ent (car ent))
;; Check to see if object selected is a polyline
(if (= (cdr (assoc 0 (entget ent))) "LWPOLYLINE")
(progn
;; obtain the object id from the selected entity
(setq objID (vla-get-objectid (vlax-ename->vla-object ent)))

AutoCAD LT :: Scrolling Through Layout Tabs
Nov 6, 2012When I'm scrolling through my Layout tabs using the arrows on the bottom left of the screen, if I'm scrolling right I have to click the arrow at a certain speed or it gets hung up on one tab and won't scroll any further. If I'm scrolling left, it only lets me scroll as far as the active tab and then it fades both the "left" and "skip to end left" arrows and won't let me scroll at all. And both directions, unless I'm clicking very slowly on the arrows, instead of scrolling it highlights the name of the tab as though I've clicked "Rename".
