AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Globally Find / Replace Text Across Multiple Drawings

Sep 16, 2002

I am trying to globally find and replace text in Autocad 2000 drawings. If I have a folder containing 10 Autocad files, I want to open every file in that folder, while in each file, search for a certain line of text and replace that text, then close that file, open the next and find/replace text in that file.

I've created an autolisp file that allows me to open all the files in a certain folder, but I can't find any way, either thru autolisp or scripts, to allow me to find and replace text in each autocad drawing without using Autocad's "find" command to manually enter the text when each drawing is open.

I want to setup the autolisp file to accept input up front, save the "old text" and "new text" to variables, then use those variables as the lisp routine is running.

This version was used to automate creating PDF files. The command 'PDF' is a command from another Lisp file.

AutoCad 2D :: Search / Replace Exploded Blocks

Jun 8, 2012

We received a drawing in which every single block has been exploded, they are just a bunch of polylines now. The company we received it from says they don't have a drawing with the original blocks...sure... The long and the short of it is that we need to replace every exploded block with our standard blocks. Is there some crazy way to search and replace a pattern of lines or basically, search and replace the exploded blocks. A lisp routine, anything. There are thousands of exploded blocks by the way, thousands.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Search For Text In A File

Jul 25, 2013

I am brand new to Inventor and I am being given the seemingly simple task of finding the tooling files that needs to be checked for correction on account of parts manufactured out of tolerance. The plotted drawings I'm given has text on in that can find the files, but the drawings are huge. Is there a way to find text like I've been doing when given the similar task in Autocad? I see no edit menu in Inventor.

CorelDRAW X5 :: Search And Replace Quotation Marks

May 5, 2011

Often there is a need to make a search & replace for single or double quotation marks since the text might have ordinary (inch and foot marks) and not the prettier "typographic" quotation marks.

A search and replace for this corrects this fast and accurately in version X4, but now in X5 nothing happens. If I change the search to some word, it finds it instantly, but not any quotation marks.

Lightroom :: Making Exact Search Queries In Text Search?

Mar 6, 2013

Lightroom 4.2 – the situation is this, I have a number of pictures of group shots with many people.  I tag each person in each photo.  I show my photos to these people and they would like a print of photos with them in it.  I am an amature photographer currently located in India where most people have no cameras, so I normally oblige if someone wants my of them pictures printed.  On one such occasion I took a week long trip with some friends.After showing them the pictures I tagged “Print for Raju”, “Print for Priya”, “Print for Varun”.  The problem arises now when I try to search keywords in the “contains all” section, “print for varun” doesn’t do an exact search. Rather if Raju wanted a picture of Varun printed, that picture would have the tag “Varun” and “print for Raju” and which would make the photo included in my search “print for varun” even if varun doesn’t want the picture. 
 
Is there a way to search EXACTLY what I type?  If my picture has 15 tags, “contains all” will search all those tags and if it can piece together the three words I am searching for out of all of the tags, it will reveal results inconsistent with my desires.I realize now that I could use collections instead of tags for compiling pictures to print for people.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Search A Group Of Drawings For A Block?

Feb 16, 2012

I have been given a set of drawings (300+) and I need to find where and/or if certain blocks (and other objects) are used in these drawings.  Is there a utility program or does AutoCAD have the ability to search a group of drawings for a block (by name) and return a list of all the drawings where the block is found. 

On that same topic, is there a utility program that will export all the CAD data from a list of drawings to a .csv file or even excel so I can filter and search several drawings for layers, blocks, xrefs etc.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Text In Part Drawings

Nov 28, 2011

Can we have a better way to create “text” in the Inventor part drawings?

I almost create “text” in every part drawing in different view. I have to create a sketch first, than create a text and dimension the text so I can lock the text in position, otherwise when you move the view and the text will stay in different location.

I had been used “Solid works” for long times. When I need to create a text, just click that view and create a text and the text will stay with that view, whatever you move that view and the text move together.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Rotate Text On Retrieved Dimensions In Drawings

Jan 30, 2012

I frequently use tolerance and fits when modelling and retreive them to use them in drawings. The text on these dimensions is always horizontal .  Any time I have vertical dimension on drawings (e.g. several diameters in a stepped bore) the horizontal text  takes up way too much real estate.  e.g. 18.0000 g6 (17.999 17.998)

I would like to align the text to the dimension lines (i.e. text vertical in this case) In Properties Rotate is greyed out.  Is there a way to keep my retrieved dims and have them aligned with the dim lines in the drawing?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Pre-made Saved Text Blocks To Insert Into Drawings?

Feb 2, 2012

Basically we have a number of different procedures that need to be written in each drawing.  Each drawing uses one of 5 or so procedures.  Usually we type it out every time which is a pain or copy paste. We also tried making word documents and inserting them that way but it got a little buggy.  Is there any way to have 5 or so pre made text blocks to pick which to insert onto different types of drawings but that can be global used across a few systems?  

We have a small group of workers all on the vault server.  Basically I just want to be able to have a finished drawing. Click something that will open a list of my pre made text blocks, and insert one into the drawing that I can scale etc. We use Inventor 2011.

AutoCad :: How To Search MultiLeader Text

Apr 30, 2012

I was under the impression that you could search mult ileader text with quick select, but 'contents' or some variant does not seem to be an option.

Tell me the easiest way to find a multileader with specific text (including the wildcard)? I expect it can be done with quick select or filter but can't get it happening.

AutoCad :: Magicad Text Search?

Sep 6, 2011

So... when working with Autocad text, using the find command to uncover an evasive strip of text is really practical, but sadly enough Magicads annotation-flags are not included under this commands search parameters... So my question is any alternative to the Find command to be able to locate magicad text?

AutoCAD VB :: Copying Text After Search Function Into Table Then Transfer To Excel

Oct 19, 2009

I am new to VBA for Autocad and have basic knowledge of Autocad, but have experience with VBA with EXCEL. I am trying to search for text written on to a drawing that has been written as plain text. There is no table. I am writing code to open each drawing in the file as a for each next loop and then find text, then copy text to a table cell, in a table set up within the loop statement. Then I intend to transfer the data to Excel. When I copy the text into the cells of the table and transfer to Excel, the text does not transfer. Is there something I need to do to re-format the text copied straight from the drawing into the table cell. The drawngs have been produced by some external drafting service provider, most likely in India. The functionality of Autocad has not been used and therefore, there are no tables. The text titles, sub-titles etc... are just basically text with lines drawn around them, to simulate a table that looks like a table but are infact not.

My main problem is copying the plain text (titles, sub-titles, references etc...) into a table cell for export to Excel. Any knowledge of copying Autocad plain text to Autocad table cells

Lightroom :: Library Search Filters Criteria Randomizes When Toggling Search On And Off

Aug 15, 2013

I'm using Lightroom 5.2RC. Not sure if this started happening with the 5.2RC version or if it's been an issue for a while.
 
While in Library mode, when I choose a library search filter preset, say all 5 stars, and then toggle the filter off and on again, the search criteria randomizes to something wildly different than what I was just searching for, for example, adding text and metadata to the search queries when I only had star attributes selected a few seconds before.
 
I've experimented with turning the filter lock icon on and off and that seems to have no effect. Switching between folders in my catalog and toggling search off and on, results in the same random search criteria being generated.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Possible To Replace Text In Drawing?

Aug 2, 2012

I have a drawing with numerous text fields that I'd like to replace.  For example, there are 30 different text fields showing a dimension of 19.298".  I need to replace all of them so that they show 19.125" instead.  Is there a quick way to swap out the text without having to do it one field at a time?  Is there something that would allow me to do it globally rather than individually?

AutoCad 2D :: Find Replace Text With Carriage Return?

Sep 18, 2013

I am trying to replace multiple instances of a multiline text entity throughout several drawings and can’t seem to find a good way to make this come to fruition. (must use carriage return to differentiate between other instances of the text) ie

Replace:
Name
Location
Date

Vs

Replace:
Name

I need it to replace the text in the instance that has multiple text lines, and not the name where the text is on it’s own. I have seen mention of using “u+000A” as a carriage return in older versions, but I can’t get it to work.
