AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Autoselect Layer For Dimensions?
Jun 29, 2013
When selecting any dimension type (from the standard AutoCAD toolbars) i would like it to already be in the layer "dimensions". Currently it starts in layer 0.
I've been browsing the web a bit and found a lot about it but people are talking about LISP's?? I can do magic things in AutoCAD but i am a complete stranger to LISP's, Macro's, etc... Would like to learn but where to start..
Anyway i can cover this with something else then writing an LISP?

I was adding a lot of aligned dimensions to a drawing and some where along the way they changed from aligned dimensions to rotated dimensions, even in the same string of dimensions.

The title says it all, Im trying to find a way to select just the vertical dimensions. Quick select doesn't work because there's no difference between a vertical and a horizontal dimension, so i was wondering if there was a LISP or something else i could do to accomplish this.

I have a lisp routine that creates a "frame wall" and I want to be able to automatically dimension said wall within the same routine. I have created two sets of points, each set being on its own new layer. I have made selection sets of each set of points, and want to cycle through each set dimensioning as required. This what I have so far for this part of the routine:
(command "DIMSCALE" 24)
(setq sel1 (ssget "x" '("VPOINTS")))
(setq TC (polar (ssname sel1 0) (dtr 180.0) 9))
(command "DIMLINEAR" (ssname sel1 0) (ssname sel1 1)) "V" (polar TC (dtr 180.0) 9) "")
[code]...
When I run the program I get the error: bad point argument. So what I think is happening is that the ssname command is not returning the actual value but just the name? I am new to AutoLisp and even newer to selection sets so be easy... Along with this, I am also curious as to how a selection set is ordered when it is chosen ie how does it determine what would be in (ssname sel1 0). Also, how would one go about deleting the points in these selection sets after the dimensioning has been completed.

I have tools like flatten and toolpac to correct plines and other things to be parallel to the ucs (world), but not for dimensions.
I attached a file with problem dins, any tool to get them back to flat?

I'm working up a routine to simplify clearing some space. I've been cruising here and other places piecing together something, but what I have ended up with is a routine that deletes all of the intended information (possibly needing repetition for those hard-to-reach blocks), but also deletes dimensions from the model space.
There are several things our company does which are "non-standard" but we have been at it for a while and I am trying to work with what I was given. Following is the code.

how to sensibly extract angular dimensions as attributes.
I can extract the attributes from a block containing angular dimensions, the attributes list angular dimensions as a field but don't actually list the number of degrees for the angular dimension.
It is the number of degrees that I am actually trying to obtain - but I cannot work out how to obtain the information

make a LISP that will work with my room dimensioning? I'd like to be able to specify the width and depth of the room using a command similar to the "dist" command, and then click a point to place a text based on the distances gathered. I'd also like the text to be formated into architectural units and displayed like this: 12'-0" X 13'-5". Also, if possible, round the result to the nearest inch (to avoid 1/2" and 1/4" dimensions).

Say I have 2 items, one is on layer "M-Duct" and the other on "M-Pipe" (they are in the same drawing). Any lisp routine that would create the layers "M-Duct-New" and "M-Pipe-New" (based on the same color and LT as the original layers) and then move those objects to the newly created layers?

Possible to link an xref layer and local layer so they display the same (eg. sync viewport colour, linewieght, line type)?
I insert xref's for my base drawing but legend is on local layers and I would like to be able to ensure that the line colour and linetype always match...

I have a customized button to draw an ‘ac-arrow’. I created a lisp to create the layer “G-ANNO-LEDR”
if the layer name is not found. The advanced part I would like is:
Current layer: E-ANNO-WIRE
Ac-Arrow Leader: G-ANNO-LEDR
OPTION 1:
If, say I am on current layer “E-ANNO-WIRE” and need to draw my “ac-arrow” leader, and continue working
on the original layer “E-ANN-WIRE” (and have the leader be drawn [remain] on the layer “G-ANNO-WIRE”).
With this option, I have the block “ac-arrow” imbedded in my template drawing file to have the block at hand.
With this option, the layer “G-ANNO-LEDR” will be created IF it is not on the drawing.
OPTION 2:
- Currently be on layer “E-ANNO-WIRE”
- Bring in the block “ac-arrow” from my block library “L:AutoCADSymbols”
- Draw the “ac-arrow” leader which will be on layer “G-ANNO-LEDR” (this layer created IF it is not
on the current drawing).
- After the leader is drawn’
- Be put back to the layer I was, “E-ANNO-WIRE”, and continue working.
The OPTION 2 is what I would really like to have. A while back, I happen to see one like OPTION 2, but I cannot
find it anymore on the users groups. I have been searching for a while now.
Currently, I use the button in my customized toolbar (see image) and have to have the “ac-arrow” block in my drawing and have its layer created in the drawing.

Any script that when ran will set lineweights of a layer based on what color the layer is assigned. For instance if I have 3 lines that are green on 3 different layers. I need the script to change all 3 layers lineweight to .015mm. I have drawings that are inconsistant with layer names so layer translator and methods of that nature will not work because I do not know all the layer names and I have 100 drawings to do this to.

I am trying to improve quality of exported drawings from Revit. We had troubles with lines and setting „by layer“. We found solution, but unfortunately we have to do it manually for each drawing.
how to program (by using LISP for instance) following commands?
Start Layer Translator (command „laytrans“)In Layer Translator, load the same drawing in section „Translate To“In Settings check only „force object colour to ByLayer“ and „Translate objects in blocks“Click on „map same“Click on „translate“Done

Lisp that can select all hatch in a drawing with a layer called AELE, even if it is embedded in a block and change it to layer AHAT with Green colour?
The layer AHAT may or may not already exist in the drawing.
We need to run the lisp on a lot of drawings (exported from Revit) so I need to use the script to run this lisp on multiple drawings.

i have a small lisp and i would like for it to:
when i invoke the plot command, it will first check if there is a layer state called "Temp"if "Temp" exists, then delete "Temp", then re-create "Temp", then switch layer state temporariliy to "Plot" to plot the file, and then switch back to the "Temp" layer state againbasically, the "Plot" layer state will be set based on how the drawing(s) will plot. if a user makes changes here-n-there in the drawing, when the user wants to plot, the software will save current state as "Temp", plot using the "Plot" state, and switch back to "Temp" state at the end. all i am trying to achieve is to somehow over-write the "Temp" state. below is the LISP.
(command "undefine" "plot")
(defun clot ()
(if (layerstate-has "Temp")
(layerstate-delete “Temp”)
)

I have been filtering through this descuession group for a whil this morning looking for what I need and have found somethings that are close but haven't managed to change them a little to do what I am wanting..
I have drawings with a block named UG101 and has been inserted on all sort of different layers.
What I would like to do is run a lisp routine that would select all blocks with the name UG101 and put them on the layer CableInfo.
I have many other blocks that i need to do the same to but with different names, so I was hoping, I could change the lisp routine around to do the rest of the blocks in the drawing..

I have a Layer named "Arch - Niveau 1".I would like to enter in the command prompt "a1"..It would read if the layer is frozen or thawed and if it is frozen, it will thaw it?
And if the layer is thawed, it would freeze it..What could be added is: To check up if the layer exists and if not, create it.Would do the same for 2 other layer named "Arch - Niveau 2" command "a2" and "Arch - Niveau 3" command "a3". Is it clear?Now the lisp I've found and modified is this:
(defun c:a1 (/ lay ldef flag) (setq layn "Arch - Niveau 1") (command "_.LAYER") (if (not (tblsearch "LAYER" layn)) (command "_Make" layn) (progn (setq ldef (tblsearch "LAYER" layn) flag (cdr (assoc 70 ldef))) (and (= (logand flag 1) 1) (command "_Thaw" layn)) )) (command ""))
This lisp looks if it exists, if not, create it and only thaw the layer.
I'm not enough familiar with the "not", the "progn" the "flag", "and" and "logand" (!!!!)

I have searched the web and the Autodesk Discussion Group for a LISP Routine that allows me to convert all attributes in a drawing to Layer 0 but i have had no luck. It would be great if the LISP could edit xrefs as well although not sure if this is possible.
**BATTMAN command will take too long for the hundreds of blocks, xrefs and drawings i need to edit.

I created a block with attributes on various layers to make it possible to turn them on/off by need. The I created a multileader style and set this block as a content. When I create a multileader all attributes appear on the same layer as the multileader itself (text entities in the block keep their layer). Is it possible to manage attribute's layer in multileader?
Please see the attached file.
