AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Append Directories To SFSP With Raster Design Loaded

Oct 16, 2013

I am in the process of creating 2 lisp routines, one that loads Support file search paths on the network and one that adds support file search path locally. Each routine will be run depending on the ability of ACAD to find a file on the server. I noticed that when I add the new directories the default AutoCAD folders get replaced. I researched this and found that using the SETENV and ACAD I can include the default support paths. 

The issue I am running into is that not all default folders are being added to AutoCAD when I used the ACAD variable. A plugin folder under Program Data is listed in the original install, but it is not listed when I add my directories and used the ACAD variable to add the default directories. The same thing happens when raster design is installed. The help folder and the install directory for raster are not carried over when using the ACAD variable. 

I am attaching the coding for the lisp routine adding server paths. Is there some syntax I can add to tell it to append to the list instead of replacing the SFSP list?

(vl-load-com)
(setq files (vla-get-files
(vla-get-preferences (vlax-get-acad-object))
)
)
(setq SERVNM (getenv "servername"))
(setq SLSERV (STRCAT "\\" SERVNM))
[code].........

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Custom Menu Will Not Stay Loaded Between Restarts On 2005

Aug 2, 2012

This is related to AutoCAD 2005 only:

I have a custom menu file which is NOT located in the support path but rather is on a server drive for all AC 2005 user's to access. When I load this menu in AC 2005 and then restart, it is gone and has to be reloaded. This is happening for all 2005 users in this office. With AC 2009 we use CUI and that custom file is also located on the server, not in the support path, but the 2009 machines are working fine. It is only the AC 2005 users who keep loosing their menu item each morning.

I have done extensive searching on this and it appears to be a common problem but the thing which is also common to all the posts and articles I read on it is that none of them offer a resolution which actually works.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Continuous Dimension Lisp That Alternate Its Position

Jul 12, 2012

Is there a lisp that will allow me to do a continuous dimension, but will alternate the dimension position from low, high, low and high?  If there is no lisp already created, how to create one? 

See Continuous dimension attachment for example.

I work at a glass and glazing company and this is how we dimension mullion width and DLO. See typical window dimensioning attachment for window elevation with dimensions.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Opening Drawings With Default Visual Style Set To 2D Wireframe

Oct 7, 2013

Is there a way to programatically set a visual style before a drawing actually opens?

We have some huge models and people seem to forget to change their visual styles back to 2D wireframe before saving and exiting drawings.  Some models will crash on some workstations when trying to open in a rendered mode.

I found a lisp with a function that looked to set viewport visual styles.  But it does not seem to be supported anymore. --> (vla-put-VisualStyle vport 1)

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: 3D Point From X And Y?

Oct 9, 2013

I'm trying to find acceptable point values to feed to the vlax-3d-point function for a vla-addmtext function. With vanilla lisp I just provide the point as x y = "7/32" "2-3/8". So I assumed that I could drop a 0 in for the z like: (VLAX-3D-POINT "7/32" "2-3/8" 0).

Then I thought I was going to be tricksy and try (vlax-3D-point (getpoint)) believing that I could pick the point and get what I need to feed the function, but yet again, no deal. The command line gave me: 

node
of #<variant 8197 ...>

Nothing I can use in my code. So how do I find the point in a format that vlax-3d-point will like?

I believe I need to  insert Alt S into my macro to select Start from the window to begin the check. Is there a character or series of characters that will represent Alt in a macro?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To End Application

Is there a command that is the opposite of starting an application to open up a file?  Like:

Instead of starting an application, how to shut all of its instances down.  Let’s say I have iTunes and/or Internet Explorer w/ a few tabs open and I can close them down without getting to the application to terminate it the usual way.

Naturally,

(endapp "iTunes.exe") doesn’t work :-))

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Z Value For Points?

Jan 5, 2012

I have a drawing that has 2D pipeline (only x and y, z value =0) and 3 topo contour lines ( with x, y and z vaules). I need to divide the the 2D pipeline into say 2000 points and then get the corresponding z values from the topo contour lines. I think it can be done by interpolating between the z values for the two apparent intersection points of the 2D line and the contour lines, the x and y values will be the same for the points that falls between these two aparent intersections. Is there any lisp out there that can do that.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Return Name Of Different Folders?

 (+ 2 (setq tmpPos (vl-string-search "\" tmpDir)))
 (- (vl-string-search "\" tmpDir (1+ tmpPos)) (1+ tmpPos))))))

Is there a way to find the name of the second folder?

Is there a way to find the name of the third folder?

The string length of the characters for each of the first, second, third (and so on) folders are different, which means I can't count character using the "substr" function.
