Task: To obtain the Handle to an entity as a string to be used in legacy lisp routines.
Which is likely to be faster;
(cdr(assoc 5(entget eName)))
OR
A call to a .net DLL that returns the handle of the entity eName.
i failed to find one which would change string of a text to other for all types of objects. I mean it was usually either only multitext, or only text, dimensions or attributes.creating one which would change in abt 200 drawings:
-001
-002
-003
to:
-00001
-00002
-00003
in attributes, text, multittext, leaders, multileaders, dimensions..... at the same moment?
It is meant to be used in ScriptPro (by loading lisp in script).
If not possible, then can also open each file and run the lisp in each of them - still would save lot of time.
I have never seen this one before while running a lisp routine: error in dialog file "Y:LispSteel|stl.dc", line 1: warning: redefining object. Symbol:"stl"
stl is a lisp routine we use written in autolisp to insert structural steel members defined by dim files. We have never had a problem with this lisp routine even with the acad 2010 32bit windows XP machines.
- AutoCAD 2010 64bit
- Winows7 64bit
- Network conditions with acad lisps and blocks on the server.
- I have included the stl.dcl file it is having trouble with.
I have a routine I wrote years ago for R12 and it worked fine. Now when I try it in 2000 it freezes Acad when I select the first button. The routine is for structural steel members and the idea is to select a country of origin which brings up a list, then select a section type from the list which brings up another list of all available sizes. You then select the
size member you want then insert it into the drawing. There is also an option to explode the block on insertion. If I remove the (set_lista) section from the following line it doesn't freeze.
(action_tile "AUS" "(setq sectype AA)(setq Country 1)(set_lista)")
(set_lista) is a selection of lists, the list to use is determined by the variable "sectype".
I can select the country I want then cancel the dialog box and type (set_lista) at the command line then reopen the dialog box and the list is refreshed. Just won't do it automatically.
I have writted a set of lisp routines with dcl files that I have implemented in most versions of Autocad since release 14. I can install the toolbars in Autocad 2013 but when I try to execute on of the commands, either by toolbar icon or command line, I get the message "Unknown Command".
I have added the appropriate paths to path list.

I've gotten these two routines from different threads on here. One works with *text and blocks. The second works with multileaders.
I'd like to merge the two so one command can work with a selection set of any of the above objects (assume selection set of mixed objects - some multileaders, some text, some blocks)
(defun c:at ( / ss ang *error*)(vl-load-com)(ErrorHandler '("cmdecho" "osmode"))(setvar "cmdecho" 0)(setvar "osmode" 576)(setqss (ssget '((0 . "*TEXT,INSERT")))ang (getangle "
Select two points along desired alignment:"))(mapcar'(lambda (x)(vla-put-rotation(vlax-ename->vla-object x)ang))(mapcar 'cadr (ssnamex ss)))(*error* nil))(defun c:test (/ ss ang i sset)(vl-load-com); Tharwat 17. 05. 2011 (if (and (setq ss (ssget ":L" '((0 . "MULTILEADER")))) (setq ang (getangle "
Specify Rotation Angle :"))) (repeat(setq i (sslength ss)) (setq sset (ssname ss (setq i (1- i)))) (vla-put-TextRotation (vlax-ename->vla-object sset) ang)) (princ)) (princ))

I have hundreds of drawings I want to run through scriptpro with a script calling 3 different lisp routines. I have the 3 lisps working independantly but can't figure out how to get them to all run in one script.
Two of the Lisps are for redefining the title block in 2 different types of drawings that have different title blocks. The last lisp locks all viewports in all windows. I'll attach the 3 lisps I'm trying to merge in the script. I am not very versed in scripts and lisps so I'm guessing at least 2 of these lisps could be merged into a single lisp...
Here is what I have for the script file contents (which doesn't work):
(load "redefine100")
(load "redefine102")
(load "vlocker")
We are working together whit another firm and we would like to share our tool pallets and lisp routines. The pallets and lisp files we would like to share are quite large so we would like to simply send them a USB stick whit all the files and a title "executable" program that automatically puts them on the right place and changes the appropriate information.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI wrote code for an application that stores links to lines and blocks in dictionaries using handles. The routines work well and I can manipulate the data marvelously, but if one of the lines or blocks get erased the whole danged opera falls apart. I knew this when I wrote the routines and have always been careful about using the ERASE command, as a matter of fact, I considered disabling it.
I am trying to make the package more robust. I have been experimenting with attaching a reactor (:vlr-erased) to the objects which fires when the object is erased. Unfortunately it fires before I can retrieve the handle of the object so that I can remove the references from the dictionaries. The only thing that I can retrieve once ERASE fires is the ObjectID. I can't seem to find a Visual Lisp routine to convert this value to a handle, does one exist? Is there an ObjectID collection that has any references in it?
I have a specific need to determine if an entity is existing or not so that I can either make changes to or create the entity. I'm trying to do this while referring to the entity by it's handle. Below is my code this far but it doesn't work.
(IF (AND (SETQ HNDL (VLAX-LDATA-GET "TB" (STRCAT PLN "PLAN"))) (NOT (VLAX-ERASED-P (VLAX-ENAME->VLA-OBJECT (HANDENT HNDL)))) ) (PROGN ;;| DO SOMETHING WITH THE EXISTING ENTITY ) (PROGN ;;| MAKE THE ENTITY
(vlax-ldata-put "TB" (strcat PLN "PLAN") (CDR (ASSOC 5 (entget (entlast))))) ))
I ran the program and the handle was stored, then I deleted the entity and ran the code again and this is the error I get:
; error: unable to get ObjectID: nil
This VLISP stuff sometime has unpredictable hoops to jump through first, so I wondering if this is the case here.
how to draw a text entity in 3d, where I know the 3d ins point, and the plane it should be flat to.
I have not drawn text or inserted blocks programatically before where the plane they lie on is not flat.
I have done it before by setting a ucs and drawing stuff, but now I want no switches of UCS involved.

I am wanting to use autolisp to access the text in a MTEXT entity. assoc(1) gives me the first bit of text, but not the rest.Is there a way to use assoc to access each of a number of matches or do I need to write my own routine to find all the 1's?

I was using getpoint, with osmode set to nearest, but it allows them to pick 2d items under the 3d items I want picked.
Without doing fancy laer manipulation to turn off 2d stuff, are there any tricks to avoid snapping on the 2d item?
I am thinking I might do an entselp, then try again at same point until i get a 3d one (non 0.0 z coord).

I would like to use a string as a variable if this is possible. I've got:
new-pl-lay (as a variable that holds layer name "UGL_PL_NEW")
first-cable (as a string that holds "new-pl-lay")
I'd like set the current layer to "UGL_PL_NEW" by using the first-cable string.
Something like:
(command "_.layer" "m" (read first-cable) "")
I have created a string:
strAttValue = ("3/16""=1'-0""")
or alternatively I've tried:
strAttValue = ("3/16" & Chr(34) & "=1'-0" & Chr(34))
that I would like to pass to a lisp with the format:
(defun lispTest ( strAttValue / )
but when I do it errors with "Too many variables." The passing method is as follows:
acDoc.SendStringToExecute("(lispTest" & Chr(34) & strAttValue & Chr(34) & " ) ", True, False, False)
If I get rid of the quotes in the original string it works fine, but the quotes are needed.
