I have old Lisp macros, that writes property to drawing by command (vlax-ldata-put "SpData" cVar cVal). How can I read this property's value, using VB.NET ?
I attached file with this property, its value="TEST"
I am starting with a polyline then i use the pasteblock command to insert that polyline as a block.Now i can pull up the property box and change the xyz scale.
I would like to know how to change these setting in my lisp.The scale will be x=1 y=0.1 z=1
How to change the Scale Uniformly property in dynamic blocks accross hundreds of drawings using either/or scripts, lisp, vba or anything else that might do the job.
I just need to open the drawing and select the block (one block per drawing) then edit the scale uniformly property within the block, save then close the drawing and move onto the next drawing.
I have a routine that looks for an MText date stamp and replace the old date with a new date. The problem is some MText strings appear encrypted. Below is an example:
{\H1.121x;\C1; \LFY 2011-12\l \H0.6252x;04-30-11} This is what I should get when I extract the string (as shown in Property window)
(1 . "\pxi-2.1818,l4.3636,ql,t4.3636;{\fSymbol|b1|i0|c2") is what I get when I extract the group code.
I'm running AutoCAD 2012 on Windows 7.
If I have a CSV file (with no header) that contains three columns and I want to return values of the second column as a list, how is the best method to do that?
I have seen something where one can separate a string into a list by a divider (in my case, the commas between the three columns) but the actual code for me to inspect was supposed to be in an attached ZIP file which I didn't see as part of the post.
An example of my CSV (as a list) wouild be:
("PO-30-10,PIN OAK,88-15" "PO-30-10,PIN OAK,88-01A" "JS-20-5,JUNIPER,63-04" "PP-40-10,POPLAR,38-22")
and I need the resulting list to be:
("PIN OAK" "PIN OAK" JUNIPER" "POPLAR")
Is there a LISP way to do this - or only VLISP?
Is there a way to control which of two 'Graphic Property definitions' are used via a formula property with a IF, Then, condition statement?

Having 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?
Can a AutoLISP command be written to read an attribute in a block and draw a circle with the attribute as the diameter using variables? The appilcation is taking the diameter of a tree trunk (the attribute), multipling by 12, and drawing the canopy circle on hundreds of those blocks. So the circles drawn will vary in size.
Not sure how this could be set up, i'm not familiar with LISP writing at all.
1) Read block, single, mulitple or definition?
2) Read Attribute
3) Varaible of attribute, (attribute is an inch measurement...it needs to be multipled by 12 to get feet for final use as circle diameter drawn)
4) Draw circle, variable, with diameter coming from attribute variable (attribute in inches that is multipled by 12)
5) Center point or circle to be block's base point
I have some numeric data like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in mtext format in autocad drawing file and some numeric data like 1,2, 3 in notepad.

I am looking for a way to force all DWG files created with previous versions of AutoCAD to automatically open "Read Only". For example, using Civil 3D 2011, I open a file that is a 2007 format DWG. I want this file to automatically open read only, and inform the user that it has opened read only.
I'm hoping that this is possible, since opening a 2007 format DWG in a newer AutoCAD already tells you that it's an older format in the command line, and files can already be opened as read only.
I'm looking to draw a mleader (with a leader style CLL_Anno) using the block basepoint as insertion point, read two attributes from that block and use those as the text for the mleader. for example: "attribute - attribute". Attached is dwg with blocks with attributes and leader style. (Block is "Trees", Attributes are "V_SPECIES" "V_DBH_DIM")
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am writing a program to grab a bunch of layers from a list, check a drawing to see if the layers are on the list, and if not save to an external file. I have the second part of the program done, but I can't get the first part to work.

Here is the code I have so far, but it doesn't even get into the foreach statement.

I am using Inv/Vault Pro 2011.
I have been trying to find a method to extract custom properties from the custom property bag.
I have been able to extract the property value, using the "GetProperty" and the associated "GetValue" method, this method works when I know exactly what property name I am looking for. What do you do when you don't know the property name?
here is my code snippet..
dim myProps as acsmcustompropertybag = mysheet.getcustompropertybag
dim myProp as iacsmcustompropertyvalue = myprops.getproperty("SOMENAME")
dim myPV as string = myProp.GetValue
what I want to do is:
dim myProps as acsmcustompropertybag = mysheet.getcustompropertybag
dim myPN as string = ??????????.tostring
dim myProp as iacsmcustompropertyvalue = myprops.getproperty(myPN)
dim myPV as string = myProp.GetValue
What format does the Color Property need to be in? But the Color wants numeric but accepts a manually entered 0xFFFFFFFF
Also, HEX is not an option in a SDF etc. right now it is stored as String "FFFFFFFF" in my properties - I can try to use ToInt32() or ToFloat() without luck
How and what format do we need in the Property? I have tried converting to Decimal and Int - but it only accepts manually typed color - see below.
Just installed AutoCad 2012 and I have the Property Dailog Box open. I anchor it to the left side of the drawing screen and "Lock" all toolbars in place. When I get out and go back into Autocad, the dailog box is still locked, but it is in the middle of the drawing screen.
