As you can see, if i rename this to "acad.lsp" and put it in the network search path of AutoCAD users, it will update several settings in their Options > Files. WHAT A TIME SAVER THIS HAS BEEN!
What i want to do now is to set the "Default Template File Name for QNEW" but i don't know how to complete this line:
(vlax-put-property AcadFiles ___________ <variableName>)
How to fill in the blank?
I am looking for some code that would allow me to select a MTEXT Entity - or other entity - (as the DEFAULT option) but also to allow me to type in some text manually or to pick a point in the drawing. Something that would present the user with:
"Select an object or [P to pick a point]" or
"Select MTEXT or [M to type].
I can write some code to type in text manually as the default option and get the second option to select entity using get string and then write some condition of if code but I don't know how to do it having entsel as default option.
I want to convert my DGN files to DWG files.
So I write this code in LISP:
(defun C:Batch_DGN2DWG (/path dgnfile SDI_Mode) (setq path "C:\DGN\" ;;Default path for DGN files location. DGNIMPORTMODE 0 ;;Imports the DGN file in a new drawing file. SDI_Mode SDI ;;Save Current SDI MODE SDI 1 ;;SET Single Drawing Mode for AutoCAD. );;setq (foreach dgnfile (vl-directory-files path "*.DGN" 1) (progn (command "-dgnimport" (strcat path dgnfile) "" "" "" "y" (strcat path dgnfile ".DWG")) (delay 100) );;progn );;foreach (setq SDI SDI_Mode) ;;restrore SDI Mode to previous value.)
but I can't finish it!
I attached some DGN files for test purpose.
How to manage VLX file, when i drag and drop one in acad , then type the command it works fine but then
- creating a pgp alias : doesnt work , uinknown command
- load vlx and launch command from a lisp : does nothing
am i missing something ? are there other options ?
I am running autocad 2011 for mac to design sails. I was given a autolisp file that will automate the majority of the process, but it uses a .dcl file to input all the numbers. Unfortunately .dcl files are not support with the Mac version and therefore I am looking for any solutions.
- Is there another way to input the information and therefore link the lsp file to something different?
- Is it easy to re-write the lisp file and input directly into that?
At the moment the time I am wasting researching how to make the .lsp program work, I could have hand drawn most of the sails anyway!
If it is possible to load old r14 FAS files into more recent ACAD versions, will it work on r2012 f.e.

I need a LISP program that prompts: "select text(s)" then I select for example 100 text in open drawing file.
after that this program creat a file (LIST.CSV) and write each selected text in line by line of this file:
result text file (LIST.CSV ) should be:
Text1
Text2
Text3

Text99
Text100
ofcourse Text1 is the content of a text object.
i am wondering if it is possible to alter a specific attribute in cca 250 files? I have this template which has like 50-70 attributes,but not all of them are used. I have to change only one attribute in all of the files. For instance, i have an attribute with a specisfic tag, but the content of it is ie MARK, i want to change MARK to PETER, without having to open,click,retype,save,close every file. Is it possible to automatize it somehow? maybe lisp, batch or even VB?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a lisp routine that gathers all xrefs from the current drawing and creates a script that opens each xref, runs specific commands then saves/closes each drawing. Once all commands have been ran in each xref I would like the script to reload all xrefs in the original drawing that the script was called from. I have a reload-all lisp that is already loaded in all of my drawings but for some reason when this command is called at the end of the script it will not run.
Is there a way to have the script continue to run in the original drawing that it was called from? Or maybe even pass control back to the lisp that created/called the script? Its seems to me that the easiest thing would be to have the script continue to run after it has gone through all of the specified drawings but this is not working.
I am using autocad 2013 and importing PDFs into the drawing and recently the OSnap points within the pdf are missing. The PDFs are of floorplans and I was able to measure from wall to wall using endpoints and midpoints. Now I am only able to select the endpoints on the frame of the pdf.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI downloaded a Copy of AutoCAD Recent Documents Manager.exe from the autodesk website and it won't run on any of the computers in our system. I was thinking about writing a LISP routine to delete the filenames with a DST suffix by replacing them with the next filename in the list. My question is If I replace the file with the next one above and the filetime,filepinned and class respectively. When I reach the end of the list can I just use "" for the file,filetime and class and integer 0 for filepinned (it looks like it requires a double).

Is it possible to write an AutoLISP script to read an .xlsx file and use the data in the various cells to modify a block within a .dwg?
Ex.: We use Flow Control Modules (FCMs) and use AutoCAD Electrical to show electrical contractors where/how to wire up the devices. In AutoCAD, we have blocks for various types of FCMs, and each block has terminals which are tagged DESCA1, DESCA2, DESCA3, etc. Each of these tags will change based on what the particular FCM is used for.
We also have .xls(x) files we call FCM Maps, which come from our engineers and tell the drafters how to lay out the .dwg files.
Is it possible to write a LISP script to take, say, cell A1 from the .xlsx file, and put that data into DESCA2 in the block, cell A2 into DESCA3, and so on?
Is there a way to have a Lisp Routine open multiple script files?

The function to use is (workspacelist) which returns a list of workspace names, similar to (layoutlist) for retrieving a list of Layout names.

View 4 Replies View Relatedhow to extract the attribute value of a particular block in multiple drawings to an excel file.
Eg... there are nearly 800 drawings where I need to list down the description and Drawing number which is mentioned in the title block name "Title".

I'm creating a drawing set that has over 100 sheets with varying amounts of viewports on each sheet (from one to four). Each sheet is its own file, so there is only one layout per file. For each section of the drawing set, the viewports will have the same layer state.
Is there were a way to update the layerstate of each viewport through a batch LISP routine? This would save me DAYS in opening each file, importing the layer state, and restoring it for each viewport. It seems straight forward, but I have no idea where to start with batch routines.
