AutoCAD 2013 :: Autolisp Expressions On Command Line?
Oct 16, 2012
For as long as I have been using Autocad (10 yrs), if I typed an autolisp expression (in brackets) on the command line any output from the espression was echoed to the command line.
E.g. I type (+ 2 2) on the command line and Autocad returns with 4.
I installed SP 1 for Autocad 2013 and this bevaviour ceased, i.e. 4 did not appear in the command window although it did appear on the text screen.
I then un-installed SP1 and "normal" behavior resumed.
When SP 1.1 came out I installed that and again find that I do not get the returns from autolisp functions eched to the command window, only to the text screen.
I have now uninstalled SP 1.1, which I sort of hate to do, because I use those one line Autolisp functions quite alot.

I have an issue with 2013 that I loose command line output; as in no muttering or cmdecho but I do not have anything set to that way. My cmdecho is set to 1, and nomutt is set to 0.
If I opent textscr then I can see the out put, but nothing on the command line.
I have never seen this before but it just started withing the last week or so and it makes debugging a real difficult.

I press CTRL+9 to make the Command Line disappear while drawing. When I plot (or when doing a plot preview) , the Command Line appears again by itself. So I always have to turn the Command Line off manually after each plot
The bug still happens;
- if Dynamic Input is turned off or on
- if I plot to a real device or in PDF
- if the Cammand Line Palette i docked or floating.
This is not an issue in AutoCAD 2012 so I guess it has to do with the new way they programmed the revamped Command Line palette in 2013.

Is it possible to control the UCS without using the command line? I'd like to access it and control it with vlisp much the same way I can access DXF groups and manipulate insertions. Seems like it should be possible to play with it's definition inside the object model.

I have a custom command that I can initiate (c:TxtE). The function starts running but I need to begin adding several inputs at the command line following this. (ex: "4" "all" "" "oldtext" "newtext"). How do i do that within lisp once the custom command has already begun? If I need to modify the function how would i pass all these as optional type variables?

Somehow, I manage to turn of one variable that display errors on command line.
For example:
(seq a 6)
suppose to return, on command line, something like:
error no function definition: SEQ

Writing a routine that stores a file name as a string in variable FILE.I check the variable and it returns a nice quoted string: "filename-123.dwg"
I would like AutoCAD to open the file w/out user input.With FILEDIA set to 0, I've tried passing the variable to the command line:
(command "open" FILE)
or in a script as:
open
(FILE)
...
or,
open
!FILE
...
I get the same error. The string dumps to the command line and I get 'Unknown command "DWG" .'

I have this small lisp routine:
(defun c:1p nil
(command "_.-plot" "yes" "" "controls 11x17" "Ledger (11 x 17)" "inches" "LANDSCAPE" "NO" "view" "01" "FIT" "CENTER" "YES" "newpap2.ctb" "YES" "As" "NO" "NO" "yes" )
(princ)
)
I want to use it to plot different views which I will append to the command when it is called from within AutoCAD.This code will, of course, print view one.Currently my worst case is 25 views and, for that situation, I have simply repeated this code 25 times with a different function name an view number for each view. Eventually I would like to make a dialog box that would allow me to select with checkboxes (toggles) the views to print and with a button to print all.
For example, if I wanted to plot view 25, after I had loaded this lisp routine I would enter, on the command line in AutoCAD, the function name ("pp" perhaps?) followed by some variable (in this case 25, but could be any view name. ie. 01, elev, detail) and the view name would be inserted at the appropriate place.

I like that Autodesk now allows us to just pick a command's option from the command line instead of typing a letter in the option. For example, when drawing a rectangle we're prompted to "Specify first corner point or [Chamfer Elecation Fillet Thickness Width]" and if we wanted to draw fillets on the rectangle we can simply PICK that option from the prompt in the command line OR enter an "F" and return.
Is there a way we can use this functionality in our custom programs?

How I can select all layers using the command line?
I am going to write a piece of lisp which will reset all the lineweights for all layers to default and have started by doing it manually on the command line to see what I need to automate.
To start with I choose -layer then LW then type default and it is here I have a problem. It asks enter name list of layers for lineweight default which is where I need to choose all.

I cannot determine what triggers this but the command line has stopped returning values from lisp expressions.
eg. If I type (setq fred "Hello") I would expect to see "Hello" returned. I am getting nothing. Similarly if I type !fred I get nothing. If I restart AutoCAD the problem goes away. The after some time it happens again. Is there a toggle or switch or system variable that I'm not aware of?

I'm running AutoCAD 2012 (base version, but part of Mechanical install). Part of my .mnl file is set to run (command "cube" "off"). On one machine (Windows 7), it works fine. I'm temporarily on my laptop (Windows 8), & that portion no longer works.
If I type cube in the command line, it works fine. However, if I type (command "cube"), it says unknown command "CUBE".

I rarely paste entities using ctrl-v, I use the WTIT.lsp commands instead, or edit pulldown to paste entities.
I want a CTRL-V to paste to command line, always, no matter what.
I tried killing the keyboard shortcuts through the CUI, but that just stopped ctrl-v from doing anything when I was not on command line.

I have a list of dotted pairs and some of the entries are paired with a deeper list others contain mostly string data. the issue is that I need to print the data to the command line with a newline to seperate them. So I want the output to look like:
;from(customer (city . "Mesa")(zip . "85213")(project (scope (demo . "some description")(construction . "some description")) (cost (subtotal . "some subtotal") (total . "some total"))));tocity Mesazip 85213demo some descriptionconstruction some descriptionsubtotal some subtotaltotal some total
I can print the entire list easily with:
(FOREACH IDX (CDR (VLAX-LDATA-GET "JobData" "LIST")) (PRINC "
") (PRINC IDX) (PRINC "
"))
But, the issue is that when the data is a list it print it out to a single line making it very difficult to read. I tried adding another FOREACH into the loop that I had hoped would iterate through the deeper list and print those lines out in a simular fashion but I only get an "error: bad argument type: consp " and it displays the first element of my list.
I tried to evaluate the IDX and check the type, so that if it is a list then it triggers the deeper FOREACH but it seems I did it wrongly.

I've been killing myself with trying to get the following (acet-getvar '("BNS_EDITTIME_TOTAL")) in standard time format
rather than julian and then printing it to a file. I never found a way. So I'm figuring the next best thing is to just run the edittime command and then set a custom variable to report the last line of the command history. Then I can open a file and print it to the file. But alas my skills are lacking.

I posted a version of the Offset command that lets you Undo individual Offsets and change the offset distance/Through option, without getting out of the command, at Cadalyst CAD Tips: URL....
It's an upgraded version of an earlier concept by Gopal Ramesh. It's been downloaded almost three times every day since it went up, so I guess people expect it will be useful.
But the website's description includes: "this routine does not provide access to the Layer or Erase options of the built-in Offset command." The reason for that is that I'm working back in 2004, so those options are not present for me to emulate. [The Undo option in the routine is one that was added in some later version, but is a very useful enhancement for people using older versions, like me.]
I do also have an Offset-to-any-Layer [not just the source's or the current Layer] routine posted there: URL....
And I have a simple little routine to Offset something and Erase the source object. So I think I have all the "pieces" to include those options that newer versions have, but that I don't. I would like to combine the functionalities into the Offset-with-running-options routine. That way, if people want to use it to redefine the Offset command as I have done, in order to get the while-running distance change option, those working in newer versions won't be losing the Erase and Layer options in the process, and those in older versions will be gaining yet more options.

I am trying to get a default value (from global variable) put as the default for getstring command. Problem is I want it as if I had typed it into the getstring command so I can modify it if required. It is for entering filenames which only change slightly ie 1129E09LS1 ...LS2 ...XS1 etc.
Current
(setq BlkName (getstring "
Enter Civil Cad File to Import: "))
For defaults that I don't want to change I usually use this format:
(or BlkName (setq BlkName (getstring "
Enter Civil Cad File to Import: ")))

I've been searching for a command that could actually cut lines for purpose. For example, if I'm drawing a 2 line crossed, wish I could cut the 2 lines so they are now 4 segments. On a circle, I could actually draw a line that pass trough the circle on cut it off the way I wish. Does such command exists for autoCAD? Very often, I've many lines at the same time that I wish I could cut with a single one. The problem is that I don't wish to trim 'em and extend (losing time and long process). Sure there is also the div cmd, but this isn't what I'm seeking for.

I'm trying to make an autolisp that "flips" a third party variable. No luck, command line won't recognize after it loads. I've made similar variable flips that work ??
(defun c:wp (/ wp)
(setq wp (getvar "kti_archt_wallpoche"))
(if (= kti_archt_wallpoche 0)(setvar "kti_archt_wallpoche" 1)
(if (= kti_archt_wallpoche 1)(setvar "kti_archt_wallpoche" 0)

I turned off the command line because I don't use it or need it on my screen. But each time after I do a plot preview the stupid thing automatically turns itself back on.
Is there a way to permanently turn this thing off because apparently hitting the "x" on the toolbar isn't working correctly.
Also, why did they do away with the flyout option on the commandline. At least then I could dock it somewhere and collapse it.

As an Autocad user since Rel. 2.1. My favorite is when attempts to draw a line using feet and inch input while units are set to decimal. How "Point or option keyword required" is supposed to guide using the correct units setting? With DYN Input on, the red outline offers even less information. Are the prompts user editable?

Is there a way to set a profile by the command line instead of through OPTIONS? I'm contract and do not have admin rights on the PC so I can't change the startup target to my profile.
I can write a script to make the changes I need at every startup but can't find the profile setting command/variable.

My command line is partially off the screen as shown in the attachments below. It started doing this after a reboot this morning. I can't drag it, select it, or find a way to move it in any way. I tried changing the resolution of my monitor thinking it might "bump" it back on the screen. I'm probably missing something easy but I can't seem to make any difference. Is there a command to prevent the floating option?

I want record a macro to update a title block. We've revised the formatting of our title block. The block name is the same, only some appearances change.
I noticed in the insert command, "You can replace an existing block definition with an external file by entering block name=file name." This would be great. I could just type in the block name and the file name and AutoCAD would replace the current with the new version in the file. Then do an ATTSYNC and we're done.
*EXCEPT*
The path and the block name both have spaces in them. Is there any way to make AutoCAD stop taking the space as a return?

I like my command line to be near the left hand corner and not "docked" (meaning taking up the entire bottom of the screen) like this:But each time I plot, and open AutoCAD 2013, It snaps back to the middle like this:
I've tried saving my workspace (I'm very familiar with customizing and how that all works) but it just always snaps to the middle.I really like the floating command line and found that if I have it just to the right of my UCS icon at the bottom left of my screen, it's out of my way, but gives me the lines of info I want.
How to make it stay near the corner and not snap back to the middle?

Is it possible to clear the command line history? Im running a series of commands that output data to the command line, from there I'm copying and pasting off the command line to notepad. Is possible to clear the command line so that I can run these commands again and not get confused by the previous sequence of data?

I've update AutoCAD 2012 to AutoCAD 2013 and I have a problem when I type "L" or "C" to draw a line or a circle, the command line says "Unknown command "L". Press F1 for help". It's the same thing if I fully type the command "line" or "Circle". But some other commands works normally.

Windows 7
Intel Core i7 2.93Ghz
