AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Annotative Drawing Scale

Apr 26, 2012

I am attempting to create an AutoLISP that removes all un-used drawing scales from a file, then adds the standard scales used in civil engineering. This is what I tried using:

;;;Add Engineering Scales
(defun C:AES ()
 (command ".CANNOSCALE"
   "1" = 1'"
 (command "-scalelistedit"
[code]...

Now, I am only a beginner to writing LISP, but I know that my problem is that it is reading the inch marks after the one in the scale name as a enter, but I don't know how to get around this. Also, I don't know how to get it to skip scales that are still in the drawing.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Quicker Alternative Changing Annotative Scale In Object Scale List

Apr 10, 2013

I would like to find a lisp that changes the scale of something that has an annotative scale and deletes all other scales in the object scale list.  Often i have many different scales of existing dimensions or objects. i waste a lot of time opening the annotation object scale dialogue box, selecting add, finding my scale and deleting the old scale.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Rotate Block Current Annotative Scale ONLY

Dec 6, 2011

I have the below code (from a user here on the forum) which works great for aligning text, mtext and blocks to 2 points.  For annotative entities, it respects the rotation angle for mtext and text. 

ie I have an mtext object at 1"=20' scale and at 1"=40' scale.  I run the command when the current annotative scale is 1"=40'.  The object at 40' scale has changed, but the 20' scale is unchanged.  This is working as I would like it to.

But for annotative blocks, it gets weirded out.  In the above example, the block at 40' will rotate, but so will the attributes at 20' scale.  But linework and hatching at 20' scale will be unchanged.  it looks really weird. how to get it to play nice with blocks.  Ideally, I'd like the block to be at different rotation angles in different annotative scales.

(defun C:R2P (/ ss ang edata); = Rotate objects to align with 2 Points (setq ss (ssget '((0 . "*TEXT,INSERT"))) ang (angle (getpoint "
First alignment point: ") (getpoint "
Second alignment point: ")) ) (repeat (sslength ss) (setq edata (entget (ssname ss 0))) (entmod (subst (cons 50 ang) (assoc 50 edata) edata)) (ssdel (ssname ss 0) ss) ))

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Scale Changes Upon Inserting Block In The Drawing

Jul 17, 2013

I had been trying to insert a title block (block) in to a drawing as part of changing the title block But in some drawings the block gets scaled off. Is there any system variable or any solution to maintain the drawing without getting scaled while inserting block.

I had used -dwg units and this appears to single drawings only. Any other way to do this to all the files in a folder.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Set Plot Scale By Annotation Scale?

Aug 9, 2012

I am working on automating page setups in model space and am looking for a way to set the plot scale equal to the annotation scale for scaled drawings with

(setvar "filedia" 0)

(setq a (getstring (getvar "cannoscale")))

(command "-plot" "YES" "MODEL" "" "" "" "" "" "" !A "" "" "" "" "" "" "_Y" "_N")

Setting the plot scale with !A causes the lisp to fail.  However, when running each prompt through the command line individually, !A works fine.  what is missing?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Attribute Height Is Changing Each Time Routine Is Run With An Annotative Block

Apr 30, 2012

I only do programming when absolutely needed so it usually only happens every couple years. I wrote this routine to count nested blocks inside of dynamic blocks to count parking spaces. The routine worked fine but was relying on the ltscale to scale a block containing an attribute for the total number of spaces. I want to update the routine to use an annotative block so the scale doesn't have to be set. I changed my block containing the attribute but now when I run my routine, the attribute height gets changed each time the routine is run. The text just gets larger and larger. Here is the portion of the routine where the attribute info is gathered and updated with the new value for that attribute. If you need the entire routine, I can post it with a slight modification so it will work outside our network.

(defun updateattrib ()
(setq CNT 0) ; sets count to 0
(while (< CNT (sslength ss)) ; starts loop while CNT is less than the number of objects in the group

[Code].....

I am running this in Civil 3D 2010 but will want it to work in 2013 so if the solution will only work in 2013, that is fine with me.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Get Viewport Scale

Feb 2, 2012

I am adapting a routine by Alan J Thompson found here for placing an outline of a paperspace viewport in modelspace.

I have added some lines for making a suitable No plot layer with appropriate linetype, and wanted to make the lwpolyline have a thickness dependent upon the viewport scale.

My paperspace viewport scales are set for printing via Zoom - 1/50XP for example to get a 1:50 scale plot (or 0.02XP)

Having selected the relevant viewport, I wanted to be able to determine the vp scale, but am unsure how to extract this information from the viewport entity itself.

The routine was as follows:-

(defun xpfact ()
(- (car (trans '(1 0 0) 2 3))
(car (trans '(0 0 0) 2 3))
)
)

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Change Annotation Scale To 1:2

Apr 26, 2013

take a look at the test.dwg it contains a block named 'box' (which is a rectangle) and some attributes. the annotation scale is 1:1 and i zoomed in to focus on one attribute.

change the annotation scale to 1:2 and you will see the attribute grows by 2 - that's ok! now load attmod.lsp and run attmod command and you will see the attribute grows again by 2

even the command only (entmod) the attributes without making any change.(to restore it use battman sync)Is there a workaround to this bug?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Multileader Scale Variable

Oct 10, 2008

A2008. Is there a setvar, setenv, registry entry etc. that can be used to change the scale of Multileaders with annotative off to have the same effect that DIMSCALE has on Q leaders? I want to have a single scale-independent Multileader style and modify it on the fly along with DIMSCALE and LTSCALE. I'd use Qleader but UCS's do odd things to text position and orientation.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Routine To Scale Text Objects

Jan 8, 2014

Any Lisp Routine to scale text objects a certain value and have the program actually scale each text object as you pick them.

The change text height using the Properties function does not work for what I need because the objects I need to scale are Mtext objects with Background Mask, and when you use the Properties function to change their text height it messes up the background mask so that you have to select each text entity and stretch the mask area smaller or larger, but if you use the scale function it scales the background mask as well so the background mask coverage is still the same.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Setting A Custom Scale On Viewports

Aug 29, 2012

I have a problem that I cannot seem to solve.  I have a drawings with a whole bunch of layout tabs that have a few viewports in each tab. One of these viewports on each layout tab is on the layer VIEWPORT. I did this so it would be easy to filter out the other viewports in the drawings. I am using the code below to change all of the viewports with the layer VIEWPORT to the Custom Scale 0.020833. This works for all of the layout tabs except the first tab. It will not for some odd reason work on the fist tab. 

(setq vieportfilter (list (cons 0 "VIEWPORT")))
(setq ssetvp (ssget "x" vieportfilter))
(setq cntrp 0)
(while (< cntrp (sslength ssetvp))
[code]..........

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Saveas Drawing With Default Drawing Name

Oct 13, 2013

I am trying to put together a lisp routine for exporting a Civil3D drawing to basic autocad entities and convert it to a clients layer standards.

I don't want any user input, so I see two problems with the routine at the moment.

Step 2. SAVEAS - I want the drawing to be saved in the same directory as the current drawing, either called "CLIENT_export.dwg" or preferably "Export_{current drawing name}.dwg". If the dwg exists I want it either to overwrite or increment a suffix number.

Step 4. At the moment it askes the user for a selection, I want it to select "ALL"

;;;Purpose to convert a Civil3D drawing into CLIENT layer standards.

(defun c:client ()
(setq old-echo (getvar "CMDECHO"))
(setvar "cmdecho" 1)

I don't have any experience with LISP or any other programming. I have just been cobbling this together from bits and pieces I have found on the web.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Delete All OLE Objects From Drawing

Nov 26, 2012

how to delete all OLE objects from drawing by most efficient way.

There are abt 150 drawings, each has from 2 to 20 or so OLE objects which need to be deleted. OLE objects are on many paper spaces.

I tried to use qselect but it selects only what is in current space.

Would need some lisp or some other methode than all can be deleted (excluding those which resides in blocks).

Tried also yto use ssx and then erase but still it deletes only what is on current space.

Just as additional info, those OLE are all pictures, not xls files for example.
