AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Get Serial Letters And Numbers From Existing Ones
Mar 2, 2013Lisp file to get serial letters and numbers from existing ones,
I got a lisp file (attached) from experts in the form which does generate serial letters and numbers from existing ones.
The issue with this lisp file is that it doesn’t give the opportunity to choose the direction of numbering (top to bottom/bottom to top/left to right/right to left) as shown in the screenshot below
How this lisp can be developed to give the user the chance to choose the direction of numbering?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Number Of Layouts In Another Drawing
Oct 4, 2013As you smart individuals can figure out, we do up drawing packages for construction that consist of several drawings, hundreds of drawings, for several modules of construction. Our process usually consists of one layout per drawing, so that the lisp guy can do a drawing count and put in sheet numbers based on how I manipulate the list of drawings in the one directory folder.
Now I have a client, despite the way we currently do things, requires that about 70% of the drawings will have multiple layouts. Now we're back in the stone ages, manually putting in sheet numbers, eating up our budget for this contract.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Drawing Name Set Equal To Number From Provided List?
Nov 25, 2013I have the need to make the current open dwg (name) equal to its predefined number in a large list. For example, building66.dwg is equal to 123789. I’ll have a large list in a tab delimited txt file with the example below. I can put the list in the lsp file if needed. Something like (if (getvar "dwgname") make equal to listname) and go out to the list and return its number. Seems kind of easy but I can’t make it happen.
building66.dwg 123789
building12.dwg 333789
building94.dwg 345789
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Copy Block Increase Attribute Number
Jun 19, 2012I have a simple hexagon block with one attribute, i need to be able to copy it and as i do it increases the number by one.
the Block name is note1-2006 the attribute name is NOTENUM. I have tried using some other Lisps but i cant ge them to work. Sometimes i have to put 40 of these on a sketch i hate copying and changing the attribute by one everytime. so it would be nice to copy and as i pick mutliple spots it increase number. Dont know if there is a way to ask user to keep same number or increase. This would save me so much time.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Generating Table With Point Number From Attribute?
Sep 8, 2011I have a simple block that consists of a point and an attribute that contains the point number. I want to generate a table with point number from the attribute, and x, y and z of the block's insertion point. I want a routine that sets out the blocks and then create the table. The first part of the routine I have (in LISP), I need it to generate the table. I was intended to use the -DATA EXTRACTION but unfortunately it does not allow me to select objects (blocks). Are there other ways to do this? I'm using AutoCAD 2011.

Nov 11, 2011I currently have a LISP routine that will replace the value of a specific attribute name with sequential numbers in the order that the blocks are selected. Like TCOUNT for attributes - and it only looks for a specific attribute Tag Name called "ID".
However, what I want it to do now, instead of just putting the number into the attribute value, I want the number to be a suffix to the existing default tag value of the tag named "ID" which is "ADDRESS:" for some blocks and "ELEVATION:" for other blocks but the tag name that the routine always has to filter for is "ID". That way the user can pick anywhere on the block - not being forced to pick the tag we want to add numbers to.
What I need the new LISP to do is append a space and then a number to the existing tag value in the block, so that the result would look like "ADDRESS: 1", "ADDRESS: 2", "ADDRESS 3" or "ELEVATION: 1", ELEVATION: 2", etc. depending on whatever the default value for the tag "ID" is.
there are several hundred different block names - but they all have a Tag Name of "ID" - whose default value is sometimes "ADDRESS:" and sometimes "ELEVATION:".
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Determining Number Of Lines In Multiline Attribute
Sep 26, 2013I am basically trying to determine how many lines are in the mutliline attribute. I have abandoned the idea of directly trying to find the the number of lines and have moved on to trying to fine the height of the multiline attribute. I have included the lisp and sample drawing that will draw a box of the boundingbox around the mutiline attribute.
This block as originally a dynamic block that different visual states. I have tried using the bounding box option on the block itself, however, if there are blocks hidden with the visual state, it will draw the bounding box according to the largest element in dynamic block every time. So I need to determine the height of the multiline attributes instead and adjust the dynamic block accordingly.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Retrieving Number Of Entities In Dynamic Block
May 19, 2013I am modifying stuff in a dynamic block insert entity. There is no "endblk" entity at the end of these definitions and I need to cycle through every entity within the block definition. When it gets to the last entity, I get an error because you cannot entnext passed the last entity. There are 2 things:
1. How to retrieve the # of entities in a block without cycling through it.
Or
2. A quick lesson in the *error* function, I cannot figure out how to implement this. I basically want to to say:
(if (entnext myent)) returns a error, don't abort & continue on.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Loop Based On Number Of Selected And Filtered Objects
Jun 13, 2013I am looking for a way to extract (filter) all polylines, and loop a lisp based on the number that are found within a "W" selection window.I am frustrated getting "malformed list" or errors, even after defining "n" for repeat.The code I have so far looks like this:
(defun cWW (/ p1 p2 sspw myObj ss)
(setq p1 (getpoint "
Pick first corner: "))
(setq p2 (getcorner p1 "
Specify opposite corner: "))
(if
(setq sspw (ssget "W" p1 p2 '((0 . "*POLYLINE")))
[code].....
Without the (repeat () portion, it was working ok with selection window, however it only would run the commands for a single polyline. What needs to be done without overhauling the code? The lisp has worked on a drawing-wide basis, however needs to run on only on user-windowed polylines since there are other polylines within the drawing which are attached to layouts via viewports.

assign a character where ? is shown so that it matches with the number of characters to remove based on the 3 lines above (see wcmatch lines). At present, whatever number I replace that ?? with, it removes that number of characters from the layer that I selected (if it meets that WCMATCH criteria). Another option which may be more difficult is to be able to have the routine look at the object layer and if it contains -N- or -D- or -NEW- or -DEMO- then to remove all the characters that follow these layer modifiers. This way I can cleanly add another project modifier behind these modifers.

Jan 5, 2012I work with ANGTOS and ANGTOF quite a bit. I'm working with latitude and longitude conversions in MAP 3D for an application where accuracy is top priority. Most of the time ANGTOS (and RTOS, for that matter) return an accurate result for the number if decimal places requested, but then I run into a situation like this:

I got it to return properly by specifying only 13 decimal places, but the result makes conversion between coordinate systems inaccurate.

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:
