AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: ObjectDBX Access To Block Definition
Feb 22, 2013Can't you access the block definition via ObjectDBX.
(without the dwg file being open)
I am parsing through the blocks to find all the xrefs.
When I get to an XRef... I don't seem to find a way to check if it's an XRef.

Dec 21, 2012I'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.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Xref Reactor Object ID To Xref Name

I am ultimately trying to pass it to (vla-get-xrefdatabase ....), but I cannot figure out how to turn the second parameter from the reactor callback data into something I can use - for example the second parameter returned may be "65" or some other number.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Mleader With Xref Name?
Jan 27, 2012I am looking for some mleader customization.Basically looking for a mleader that will add an objects name(in my case an xref or block) in the text. Attached is a picture of our current process... nothing special. basically instead of typing in text we use the insert field. In the field dialog that opens we select "object" under Field names, then under object the type button is pressed to select object(in my case and xref or block) then under property the "Name" option is chosen. This will insert the xref name in the multileader. This is not terribly hard but am curious if I can automate and save some steps.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Opening Drawings With Default Visual Style Set To 2D Wireframe
Oct 7, 2013Is 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 :: Alert When Xref Is Moved?
Jun 29, 2013I'm new to the programming thing, and this one has me stumped. We have a problem with people accidently dragging xrefs. The simple solution would be to put all of the xrefs on a locked layer, but I was vetoed on this suggestion. I've been trying to figure out if I can write a lisp that will do one of the following: Give an alert if an xref is moved.Not allow an xref to be moved.Tell the user when they open a drawing that an xref is not at 0,0,0 insertion point.

Jun 18, 2013This lsp was passed on to me from a colleague but he doesn't know where he got it. It does a useful procedure of placing each xref, residing in the drawing, to a unique layer. The layer name is derived from the xref name. I would like to edit this to take only part of the xref name. This system I work with requires all files to have the job number as a prefix eg LE1399901_Contours.dwg, so the xref name would be LE1299901_Contours by default. I want to remove the first 10 characters to be left with "X_Xref-Contours" layer name using this code.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: XREF Rename / Repath
Nov 25, 2012what i would like to do is rename (externally) and repath about 4-8 xrefs in a drawing set of about 100 drawings.
you may ask why? it is because we are trying to establish a template set of drawings for a civil design office. and when we start a new project, copy over the drawings to the relevant project folder, change the project number, run the script across the drawings and go from there. I've also tried this using the reference manager, but it doesn't work when you change the name of the xrefs (loses association)
basically i know if i could use a lisp i would run it using autoscript or something equal. All i need is to figure out the code to change the project number in the xref
for example
current - "xxxx-PN009999-aaa-00-survey.dwg"
change to - "xxxx-PN001234-aaa-00-survey.dwg"
from my research so far, the easiest way is to make a lisp with the following
-rename
b
xxxx-PN009999-aaa-00-survey
xxxx-PN001234-aaa-00-survey
-xref
p
xxxx-PN001234-aaa-00-survey
c:acadcivildummyfolderxref
If this is the correct code, do i have to rename the CAD xref files in explorer first?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Freeze All Xref Layers?
Apr 24, 2013I have the following code that works, most of the time. Actually, it works or completes itself all the time, but there is no "all encompassing" measures incorporated.
All of the reference entities, believe it or not, are on layer "0". There are also some consistent layers, that you can see in the code below. However, a user may create or even remove any layer in the reference drawing. Therefore in my current drawing, I may have layers that are not frozen in the xref.
Like i said, the following code works, but not all encompassing.
(setq filename "7102-002-950 UC10-03")
(setq FreezePRD (strcat filename "|_PRD"))
(setq FreezeSLD (strcat filename "|_SLD"))
(setq FreezeBORDER (strcat filename "|0_BORDER"))
[Code] ........
I guess what I'm looking for is to freeze all layers that begin with "7102-002-950 UC10-03|".

Aug 22, 2012I have a Lisp that I have been working on with some folks in the office, and i feel like i am close, but i am not getting the cigar. The idea would be to have the lisp allow the user to select a nested x-ref entity, and change the color and linetype of the selected layer, similar to the old "LAP" command (I know it is a dinosaur, but I still miss it). I seem to be doing swimmingly, code I have quasi-plagiarized. It seems to crap out where i try to pass the selected linetype back to the layer. I get the nastygram "Command: ; error: no function definition: GETLINETYPE" right after selecting the linetype from the dialog.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Change (Reference Name) Of Attached IMAGE Xref TIFF
Feb 13, 2013I am trying to write a LISP that does the following:
-Open drawing
-Saveas as NEW drawing based on certain criteria from DCL menu
-Deletes old drawing
-*THEN, if drawing contain attached IMAGE FILE (.tiff in my case)
-Rename image file and repath image file based on the new file name
I have gotten it to do all of this, except I can not figure out how to change the "reference name" of the attached image file (.tiff)
Is this read-only data? I can manualy change it under xref manager, so there should be a way to do it via code...
The closest I have gotten:
;;after renaming and repath image file...
(SETQ NAME2 (substr (getvar "dwgname") 1 (- (strlen (getvar "dwgname")) 4)))
(setq item (vlax-ename->vla-object (entlast)));convert to vl object
(setq check (vlax-property-available-p item "Name" T));check if the entity can be updated
;if it can
(if check
;change value to match
(vlax-put-property item 'Name NAME2))
'Name seems to be valid w/ xref'd blocks but not xref'd/attached image files..
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Opening DWG File
May 17, 2012Right now I'm working on a program that will go into a directory and it's subdirectories, collect a list of all the .dwg files in those directories, then apply certain changes to all of those .dwg files.
My problem is that none of these things works.
(command "open" (srtcat basedir (nth i file)))
(command "open" (nth i fullfile))
(vl-cmdf "open" (strcat basedir (nth i file)))
(vl-cmdf "open" (nth i fullfile))
Where "basedir" is the main directory (e.g. C:/...), file is the list of the dwg file names (e.g. mydrawing.dwg), fullfile is the list of the ull paths (e.g. C:/.../mydrawing.dwg)
I have tried using the filename with and without the .dwg extension with no luck.
I have this code set in (while ...) so that it will go through all the files in the list "file" or "fullfile" in sequence. The lisp will run without errors but will not open any of the files. When I look at the command line, I see that the lisp has put open on the command line like it has executed the command, but right below that, it says "Unkown command: C:/.../mydrawing.dwg" or "Unkown command: dwg" depending on which of the above code pieces I'm using.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Open Xref In Selected Layout And Zoom To Match View?
May 28, 2013I have used Autocad since 1991, and my current job required me to use Microstation. One feature I liked from Microstaiton is the ability to select and open an external DGN reference, and then match the view of the parent DGN. In AutoCAD, you can also select and open an xref, but the DWG opens to the previous saved view, and not to the desired view that matches the layout.
My thought was to experienting with lisp or scipt and export the "Viewctr", "Viewtwist" and "Viewsize" variables to a text file, then importing the text file and using the "Viewtwist" as my "SNAPANG" value, then "Viewctr" as my "ZOOM, CENTER" value, and finally the "Viewsize" as the "Enter magnification or height:" value.
But, alas, have no time, and not quite the knowledge to duplicate MicroStation's open-xref-and-zoom-to-view feature.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Allow User To Move Room Tag That Is XRef Into Discipline Specific Models
Jun 14, 2013I am looking for an alternative to in place XRef Edit.
The third party software I am stuck with has disabled in place editing an Xref.
The specific application I need is to allow the user to move an intelligent room tag that is XReffed into discipline specific models. Disciplines are Architectural, Mechanical, Electrical..Etc. Each discipline has their own room tag and needs to move their own tag to a location that can be clearly seen on their finished plot. Xref edit in place is the perfect tool for this..But since the third party has disabled the command, I need an alternative method.

If I try the routine I get ; error: Automation Error. Error Decrypting Data.
If I open the drawing normally (that works) and save as a dxf, then open the dxf and save it again as a dwg the routine works. I use the routine for 5 seperate drawings that get updated every month and would rather have a routine that opens the drawings without the fiddle.
