View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to come up with an easy way to input information for basic objects that we need for sales drawings. Is there a way to create a prompt(length, width, Diameter etc.) so when you open the .ipt it pops up? Anything a little more organized than the parameters box? I've done an excel sheet in the past for certain things, but didn't want to carry and excel sheet over for this option.

I have a parent directory with x-amount of folders contained inside. I say X-amount because I would like to keep adding or deleting folders as time progresses. I want the folders contained within this parent directory do be read into a lisp variable and then be printed to the command prompt till every folder is displayed by name, then the loop may stop.
View 5 Replies View Relatedyesterday when I clicked on "Derive" while in a part file I would get a browse window to select the part I wanted to derive, after this a prompt would come up that asked if you wanted the part to be a surface or a solid, if you wanted to scale it, etc. For some odd reason today when I tried to derive a part it doesnt come up anymore. After I select the part it just gets inserted and to keep it I have to hit enter or right click and select "ok". Not sure why the prompt stopped popping out, havent changed anything.

I wan to turn this prompt off...period. Not fix it, just turn it off.
"The location of the selected file is not in the active project. To ensure that the file can be found when you open files that reference it, add the location to the project or move the file to a location specified in the project."
Looked through options, changed approproate setting to "Never". Still prompts.
I have a macro that changes the active material for each member of an ipart (this is done when i am editing the iparts).
My problem is that it constantly prompts that the table differs from the part and do I want to copy the information back to the table.
I want to stop this prompt and have it automatically set to "Yes". I can use the silent operation option but it defaults to "No" for some reason which makes the macro go to the next member without setting the material back into the table.
I am trying to find an ilogic for part proparty entry as soon as I create new part/assy.
I know it is possible by Event triger-> New Document .
I am going to be saving a template with one of my custom frame profiles from the content center already placed in it. I'll place it say 100" long, just an arbitrary number. How can I create a dialogue that pops up when I open the template file, it asks me for the value of 3 variables, then changes the length of my content center frame rail to the sum of those 3 variables? I've seen pop-ups before and know how to set the rule, I'm just not sure how to change the parameters..

The entire vault database was migrated during the upgrade process, which is fine but It now causes me an annoying issue. Every file that was migrated and has not yet been opened with the new software has this prompt that alerts me that the data format has been changed. Is there anyway I can turn off this prompt? I know the files have been migrated I really do not need to be reminded everytime I open a file its very irritating and is not a necessary step in my opinion.

I am interested in Learning about Ilogic and the Itrigger. I worked at a company where they had a prompt that would change, size, material, hole quantities etc. I am trying to recreate that for a cabinet but cannot seem to find a good tutorial, I know I need to write some sort of rule to do this but cannot find out specifcally how to do so.

1) checks to see if the active document is a drawing
2) Checks that the drawing is of a part
I want to prompt the user to select a view on the drawing, if this is not the first view on then a warning message is displayed.
Then I want to take this active view and change all of the geometry lines and holes EXCEPT for bend lines to a specific layer.

when I use GoExcel.CellValue (or other similar Excel link) snippet in iLoggic to write on a Excel sheet, I get a save prompt for the respective Excel file.
i.e.
GoExcel.CellValue ("WB1.xls", "Sheet1", "A1") = 1234
(Run Rule)
(I get a message box saying)
"Do you want to save the changes you made to "WB1.xls?"
Yes / No / Cancel
How can i bypass this message, I would prefer it is can be done through the iLogic Rule?
Working in a assembly and just edited an existing note in the Engineering notebook. Clicked the "X" to close the assembly.... what? no prompt to save the file?
Just checked adding a note to a ipt and it doesn't dirty the file either, so if you only add a new engineering note, you have to save it, cause it won't prompt you before closing.
Is there a way to allow user to select multiple files inside the file dialog using scripts? So not just something like "*.ai" or "*.eps" but where the user can actually use their shift key to select a batch of files inside the file dialog and then the script would process each one.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have the following command in my VBA routine:
ThisDrawing.Utility.Prompt vbCrLf & "ABCDEF"
When I run my VBA routine from the VBA editor, the command appears in the text window of AutoCAD the way it should, but when I run the routine with the VBAload - VBArun commands (automated on a toolbar button), it does not. Do I need to obtain the AutoCAD object and issue commands that way instead of using the thisdrawing.utility method?
I'm creating a VB.Net routine which will run the REVCLOUD command. In my application I prompt the user to select a single polyline using:
EntRslt = acDoc.Editor.GetEntity(EntOpts)
Then later I run the REVCLOUD command using:
acDoc.SendStringToExecute("_revcloud Object Poly No ", False, False, True)
Where Poly is the polyline I selected earlier. Of course, the line above doesn't work since "Poly" is interpreted as a string. But I would like to figure out how to pass my VB.Net selected Polyline into the REVCLOUD command.
How I might do this? The REVCLOUD command will not accept the "Previous" selection set so setting the Implied Selectoin does not work. If my Polyline was the Last object in the database I could use the "Last" option, but it isn't.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am wanting to copy the behaviour of a built in function in Civil3d on another object basically information on the object is displayed in a box next to the cursor cros hair but its not a tooltip.
My question is what is it and can you access it for do you have to create it yourselve.
I've noticed this annoying trait in AutoCAD 2012 when drawing a polar array that I hadn't noticed in previous versions. I used to get stuck in a loop having to repeatedly enter the number of items in the array trying to get it to move on to the next command prompt of what angle of fill I required.
Example
CMD = Enter number of items or [Angle between/expression] <4>:
<Type in 20 and hit Return key>
CMD = Enter number of items or [Angle between/expression] <4>:
<Type in 20 and hit Return key>
CMD = Enter number of items or [Angle between/expression] <4>:
<Type in 20 and hit Return key>
Ad infinitum...
I then discovered that this only seems to happen when the cursor is left over the centre of the array you clicked on. But if it's moved to one side the correct command prompt follows the Return key. This isn't intuitive as you have to leave go of the mouse to input the required number at the keyboard, so it tends to be wherever you just clicked, and you end up in the pointless loop.
How could I prompt a "two points" line entity from the user?
Something similar to " Editor.GetPoint() " ??
I was trying to use Editor.GetPoint() method two times. But this option does not show the preview of a line.
I also tried a combination of
doc.SendStringToExecute("line ");
db.ObjectAppended += new ObjectEventHandler(LineAppended);
but this option triggers LineAppended event handler as soon as I create the first point of a line. So it does not work.
I'm running AutoCAD LT 2011. As a test for myself when i first started using the program I created a block in which i have a rectangle and a linear stretch pair parameter attached to it, and a field attribute referencing the distance that the stretch parameter is stretched out to.
I'd like to know if its possible to set up a prompt when inserting the block into a drawing that allows me to type the desired distance of the stretch parameter and have the rectangle stretch to the entered distance as its inserted.
I'm trying to automate the process of simply inserting the block and then dragging the grips of the parameter out or updating the distance via the properties panel.
Is there a quick way to change the prompt text in an attribute? The only way I can see to do it now is to explode the block, edit the attribute text and change what I want the prompt to say, then recreate the block, which usually has the side affect of moving my attributes order.
For example:
I have an Instrument device block with 2 attributes, the first being the device tag, and the second being the device number. When I first created the attribute definition for the device tag, I defined it as:
Tag: Device_Tag
Prompt: XX
Default: XXX
But I now want to change the prompt to be:
Prompt: Device ID
I've been going through some examples on [URL] to create polylines and i've managed to make some code run. One thing that I can't seem to find information on though, is how to use the default AutoCAD command line options in my code. For instance, I would like to be able to prompt the user whether they would like to snap the polyline to an insertion point, everytime they create a new verticie.
Below is some example code from the site that i'm working from:

public class MyPlineCmds
