AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Modifying Polyline From Fit / Smooth Cubic To None
Jul 5, 2012I have many drawings with blocks containing polylines set with property Fit/Smooth = cubic. For conversion purposes, I need to change them to FIt/Smooth = none. It is easy with the Properties palette but, because I have lots of drawings to fix, I want to write a lisp routine. Any VLA-SET-xxx property that will allow me to do it in lisp?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: No Attribute Dialog Boxes?
Apr 13, 2011I have several lisp routines that we have used since release 12 that now dont work in 2012. They all placed blocks with attributes, allowed user to fill in and continued to finish. In 2012 the attribute dialog box does not come up and point information for block placement is filled in the attributes. Is there a system variable that changes dialog boxes in 2012?

Mar 13, 2012I'm trying to bring a lsp routine up to date and it's almost as if I'm a newbie again. A dialog image worked okay in 2005 but in version 2012 displays poorly. So I made a new slide in 2012 and saved it to the same name as the old one, HobMasterDialog.sld, and placed it in the same folder as the old one. However, when the dialog appears the rectangular area for the image is blank.
What am I forgetting?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Update Radio Button Default Values In Dialog Box?
Apr 3, 2012Rudimentary lisp & dialog box skillls here...
I have a little dialog box with seven radio buttons and a text box that generically accomplishes what it's supposed to do. To retain the current dialog values, I use the write-lline function to store the information and then use read-line to bring that information back in for other Lisps that I use. As long as the user doesn't open the dialog, whatever options were last selected will remain in effect.
However, if the user re-opens the dialog, then whatever defaults I have initially set up in the dialog will then become active (in other words, whichever of the radio buttons I have set to "1")
My question is whether or not I can have the dialog box set up so that if a user selects an alternate radio button, that radio button will keeo it's value whether or not the dialog is opened and until and if the user changes it..
As it is now, whenever the user opens the dialog box to change, say one radio button, the user then has to change the other radio buttons if the defaults don't match the current run requirements.
Here's the dialog and the lisp:
OPTIONS : dialog {
label = " Counter to Cad Options";
: spacer {
height = 0.75;

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Layer Index Color Change Via Selection And Dialog Box

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Plot Transparency Option In PLOT Dialog Box
Sep 11, 2012Where else do they keep this setting? I only have found it in Active Layout in extended dada
(entget (vlax-vla-object->ename(vla-get-activelayout (vla-get-activedocument(vlax-get-acad-object)))) '("*"))
The last pice of extended data is:
("PLOTTRANSPARENCY" (1071 . 0))
When i change it to 1
(setq layout(vla-get-activelayout (vla-get-activedocument(vlax-get-acad-object))))
(vla-getXdata layout "PLOTTRANSPARENCY" 'type 'data)
(vlax-safearray-fill data '("PLOTTRANSPARENCY" 1))
(vla-setXdata layout type data)
it stays there (extended data), but the setting in Plot dialog box doesn't change!!! And it still prints no transparency.
It takes to save the drawing and reopen it again to see the change.
The command -PLOT does not have this setting as well, so my options back to VBA or Lisp, but HOW?

Oct 9, 2013I'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?
