AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Adjust Column Width To Length Of Text
Apr 27, 2012
Several times, we generate a drawing, and the text widths in the columns vary greatly. Some have text that is ten characters long, and others have thirty-plus characters.
Is there a way to be able to select the table (or perform the command to all tables in the current layout) and have each of the columns expand to the appropriate width, that depends on the longest string of text in that column, for each column. The problem I see, is that some tables have two columns, some have six, and of course other with any number in between. The same is also true for the amount of rows.

I found a lisp in the net to create a rectangle by marking objects in a draw.
But it would nice to get at the end of the lisp after creating the rectangle a output in the command line about the length and with of the created rectangle.
who can add the code for the length/width output?
(defun C:wer (/ AUSWAHL INDEX ELEM XYMIN XYMAX MINX MAXX MINY MAXY DATA A) (vl-load-com) (if(and(or (and (setq AUSWAHL (ssget "I")) (> (sslength AUSWAHL) 0)) (and (setq AUSWAHL (ssget)) (> (sslength AUSWAHL) 0)) ) (or(setq A (getreal "
Randabstand <0> : ")) (setq A 0.0) ) ) (progn (setq INDEX -1) (repeat

I want to know is there any formula/calculation for the width of text object before creation/insertion? At now I used approximated width size via a simple .
(Defun GetStrWidth (str H W) (fix (*(* H W) (strlen str))));;usage: (GetStrWidth "This is a Text." 2.5 0.8);;H: TextHeight; W: width factor.
I know that for the existed text in drawing I can use textbox command, but for the texts that has not been created, what can I do? Is there any formula/calculation depends on font name, text height and width factor?

What is the best way to change the color of two pieces of specific text in lisp? I want to change where it says (strcase ln6) & (strcase ln7) to the color of green. I tried it a couple of different ways but I'm having some trouble. First I am setting the current layer with a color of blue. I am then running the text command a couple of times. I want to run the mtext command a couple of times but I want the text to be green & I want the width factor to be .85

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?

I'm trying to get an excel sheet to open and count cells based on the text inside a selected column then compare it to cad. The column says "red" or "green" and I want to compare it to a count of red and green hatches in cad.
I managed to get them to be counted in cad but I'm not sure how to get the excel part to work.
Note: I posted an earlier post thinking to count the actually color in the excel cells rather than the words but that ended up being quite complicated.

How to modify the column widths of an ACAD_TABLE?
I have known co-ordinates that I want each grip for the table to be set at. I can't just copy and paste the table from drawing to drawing. Each table of each drawing have different textual values, and the column widths will best be sized for each text value.

Basically: Load the file, (workbook through active sheet: vlax-get-property)
(setq xlSheets (vlax-get-property xlBook 'WorkSheets) )
Then, how do I get it to put column A properly into a list for the DCL?

I've been searching on and off all morning for a lisp routine, without any luck. I'm trying to draw a pline with a pre determined width (5") and be able to draw unlimited line segments then automatically fillet with a pre determined radius (5").
I wrote this generic macro: ^C^CPLINEWID;5;PL;\\;FILLET;R;5;F;P;LAST; to save SOME time but I want unlimited line segments. Can this be modified or would a lisp be the better route to go?

I found this routine [URL]...... that changes the width of an attribute in a block. After use it, I need to use the ATTSYNC to update the other instances of the bloc in my project.
How to modify this lisp that I receive a prompt to choose if the width attribute will be change just in the selected block or in all instances of the block? In that way, I would not have to use the ATTSYNC command each time.

I am trying to create a report of line lengths based on linetype.
I have built a list that looks like this...
(("CUT4SS" . 859.566) ("CUT4SS" . 862.231) ("CUT4SS" . 927.651) ("CUT6SS" . 1158.48) ("CUT6SS" . 509.903) ("CUT6SS" . 2840.31) ("CUT4SS" . 967.76) ("CUT4SS" . 508.73) ("CUT4SS" . 111.065) ("CUT4SS" . 483.216))
I want to take this list and create a function to create a list of total lengths i.e. the CDR's.
(("CUT6SS" .total length)("CUT4SS" . total length))

I am trying to revise an old dialog box so that I can add some new options but I'm finding it difficult to shorten the label for a radio button enough to get the box width to look reasonable. I read somewhere that Windows fonts cause the label lengths to hold extra space for each character. The webpage that I found this on said the solution was to make a new line for the label, which sounded great to me, but they did not tell how to do it. After much searching, I figured out how to add an additional line to the label, but my program now refuses to function correctly. I set the middle button before initiating the dialog in my lisp, but when I select a different option, the original button remains selected along with the user's choice. The program actually works, using the last button selected, but I really want the button to respect the pick by the user and deselect the default button.
This worked perfectly when I had only two selections, and it still worked perfectly when I added the third option, but it just doesn't like it when I try to add a new line for the long description in the middle of a radio column.
I'm barely functional with dialog boxes..
DCL in question:
:boxed_radio_column { label = "Location"; width = 20; height = 2; fixed_width = true; fixed_height = true; alignment = top; :radio_button{key = "sl-AD"; label = "Spring Lake Applications";} :text_part{label = " and Distributor Services";} :radio_button{key = "sl-BP"; label = "Spring Lake BP Systems";} :radio_button{key = "gr"; label = "Grand Rapids";} }
lisp has the following in this order:
load dialog - I have a loading function that works fine
(set_tile"sl-BP""1")
(action_tile"sl-AD" "(TGW-Setup_01 $key)")
(action_tile"sl-BP" "(TGW-Setup_01 $key)")
[Code] .....
Of course, these are just the pertinent sections of a much larger setup dialog, but I didn't think I needed to post all the functions that this program is doing, since you'd have a difficult time running this without my templates, printers and a number of support files.
Like I said, it seems to be choking on my adding :text_part { Label = " and Distributor Services";} instead of making this a single line of the label for the button above it.
Why does this cause the default radio button to stop releasing?

My goal is to be able to select a line and a dimension and then have the line's length appear as the text override for the dimension. I have the code to substitute the variable "dist" for the dimension text:
(setq dimselected (entsel "
Select Dimension:"))
(setq newlength dist)
(command "dimedit" "n" newlength dimselected "")
but am having problems extracting the line's length to the variable and setting setting it equal to the variable. To make things more interesting, the value needs to be in inches with fractional inches accurate to 1/16".

I have a bolt program that draws the thickness of a bolts in elevation as a polyline with a global width, what i need is a lisp to then change this lwpolyline to a hatch, ie if global width is 20 and the polyline is 30 long i need to change this to a 20x30 solid hatch, is it possible to get the the global width and length and convert this to a boundary hatch? I need the same thing done for bolts in plan too as the circle is a lwpolyline also.

I have lisp code, which count total length, but I need that it count and multiply by constant which I choose manual (such as in example, total lines yellow length * y + total blue lines * x = ... , example 50*2 + 60 * 3=280),
remember the another code, such as I have d200 with total l=1000 and d250 with total l=1500, i need to count total cost such as 1000*y+1500*x
one think, diameters numbers is not only 1 or 2, it can be many different diameters.
