AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Build Association list With Nested Association Lists
Sep 27, 2013
I need to build an association list with nested association lists.
Here is my current
(IF (SETQ SUBLST (ASSOC CATEGORY PLNTLST))(PROGN (SETQ PLNTS (CONS PLANTNAME (LIST(CONS 'SIZE (dict-get PLANTNAME "SIZE"))(CONS 'COLOR (dict-get PLANTNAME "COLOR"))(CONS 'QTY (dict-get CATEGORY PLANTNAME))) ) PLNTLST (cons PLNTS SUBLST) ))(SETQ PLNTS (CONS PLANTNAME (LIST (CONS 'SIZE (dict-get PLANTNAME "SIZE")) (CONS 'COLOR (dict-get PLANTNAME "COLOR")) (CONS 'QTY (dict-get CATEGORY PLANTNAME)) ))PLNTLST (CONS CATEGORY PLNTS)))

How can I sort an association list?
for example:
(setq lst '((1 . "s") (12 . "t") (-7 . "u") (0 . "v")))
should be sorted as:
((-7 . "u") (0 . "v") (1 . "s") (12 . "t"))
{ sort on: (car(assoc index lst)) value}

presuming I have a selection set of different entities, that might have different linewight.
The code that is responsible for this property is 370
370Lineweight enum value. Stored and moved around as a 16-bit integer.not omitted from here
I need to make all of the entities have the same layer, and to make sure the each entity has the "ByLayer" lineweight.
The problem that I encountered, is the lineweight changement.
This is the colution that I came with, but it doesn't work for me:
(defun c:test () (setq en (car (entsel))) (setq el (entget en)) (setq el1 '()) (setq indx -1) (repeat (length el) (setq indx (1+ indx)) (if (/= (nth indx el) (assoc 370 el)) (setq el1 (cons (nth indx el) el1)) ) ) (setq el el1) (entmod el) (princ) )
Having tested it in different ways, it looks like at the end, el1 represents the association list that I want my object to have, but it doesn't want to update.

I am trying to sort a list of lists by the size of units.
Here is the unsorted list -
(setq List_Blocks
(list
(list "10x10" "UNIT DOWN-CC" 56)
(list "7.5x10" "UNIT DOWN-CC" 20)
(list "5x5" "UNIT DOWN-CC" 34)
(list "10x15" "UNIT EXTERIOR" 32)
(list "5x10" "UNIT DOWN-CC" 31)
(list "10x20" "UNIT EXTERIOR" 24)
(list "10x30" "UNIT EXTERIOR" 13)
(list "10x25" "UNIT EXTERIOR" 2)
)
)
I would like the list sorted by the first number before the "X" and then by the second number after the "X".
Example of sorted list -
(list "5x5" "UNIT DOWN-CC" 34)
(list "5x10" "UNIT DOWN-CC" 31)
(list "7.5x10" "UNIT DOWN-CC" 20)
(list "10x10" "UNIT DOWN-CC" 56)
(list "10x15" "UNIT EXTERIOR" 32)
(list "10x20" "UNIT EXTERIOR" 24)
(list "10x25" "UNIT EXTERIOR" 2)
(list "10x30" "UNIT EXTERIOR" 13)

Someday the light bulb is going off and I will understand mapcar and lambda. However.....I have a program that reads an excel file sheets. Sometimes the sheet only has 1 column, sometimes 2 or more.
I need to convert the saved values from the sheet to a list with the text spaced evenly. Unfortunately the text lengths vary. I would like a subroutine to pass the list to and return a list of strings with text aligned with padded spaces allowing for the longest text in each column. I am using the new list in a dialog box with fixed_width_font=true (so columns align).
Example 1-
(setq List1 (list "Col1-Line1" "Col1-Line2" "Col1-Line3-longer" "Col1-Line4"))
(AlignText List1)
returns
"Col1-Line1"
"Col1-Line2"
"Col1-Line3-longer"
"Col1-Line4"
so no padding needed
Example 2 -
(setq List2 (list (list "Col1-Line1" "Col1-Line2" "Col1-Line3-longer" "Col1-Line4") (list "Col2-Line1-longer" "Col2-Line2" "Col1-Line3" "Col2-Line4")))
(AlignText List1)
returns
"Col1-Line1 Col2-Line1-longer"
"Col1-Line2 Col2-Line2 "
"Col1-Line3-longer Col2-Line3 "
"Col1-Line4 Col2-Line4 "
Example 3 -
(setq List3 (list (list "Col1-Line1" "Col1-Line2-longer" "Col1-Line3" "Col1-Line4") (list "Col2-Line1-longer" "Col2-Line2" "Col1-Line3" "Col2-Line4") (list "Col3-Line1-longer" "Col3-Line2" "Col1-Line3" "Col3-Line4")))
returns
"Col1-Line1 Col2-Line1-longer Col3-Line1-longer"
"Col1-Line2-longer Col2-Line2 Col3-Line2 "
"Col1-Line3-longer Col2-Line3 Col1-Line3 "
"Col1-Line4 Col2-Line4 Col3-Line4 "

how to create a nested drop down list in a ribbon panel.
is it even possible. It must be, but I don’t know how Autodesk managed to do it in the C3D.cuix for the create ground data panel, point drop down.
second question, where is the icon for a drop down list saved.
looking at a C3D dropdown list icon there is no path to the icon, but when I create one it shows a path.

I am trying to write a piece of a program that gets the layers from a drawing, and checks each one against a list of layers. If the layer is not a member of any of the lists it asks the user which layer list to add it to. This is what I have so far, but every time I try to run it I get a bad argument error.
(setq layerspresent (vla-get-layers (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))))(setq i 0) (repeat (vla-get-count layerspresent)(setq thislayer (vla-get-name (vla-item layerspresent i)))(cond(((progn(or(= nil (member thislayer 0list))(= nil (member thislayer detaillist))(= nil (member thislayer clearancelist))(= nil (member thislayer clearanceelist))(= nil (member thislayer doorsdrawerslist))(= nil (member thislayer hiddenlist))(= nil (member thislayer hiddenelist))(= nil (member thislayer deletelist)))));ifs((progn(initget "0 DEtail CLearance CLEarance-e DOOrs-and-Drawers HIdden HIddEn-E DELete")(setq userchoice (getkword "
[code]...
Depending on the user's choice the layer gets written to an external file where the layer lists get their layers from in the beginning and then adds the layer to the relevant list to use later in the program.

I need to pick a nested block in drawing, I prepared this code to get name of selected blocks:
(defun c:test ( / e obj blkName)(while T (while (Not (setq e (entsel "
Select a BLOCK to edit: ")))) (setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car e))) (if (= (vlax-get-property obj 'ObjectName) "AcDbBlockReference") (setq blkName (vlax-get-property obj (if (vlax-property-available-p obj 'effectivename)'effectivename 'name)) );setq );if (princ (strcat "
Block Name is: " BlkName)));while);defun
But, how to select a nested block?

I have an XREF that contain block inserts sometimes nested 2 or 3 levels deep. Given the block names, is it possible to find and translate the insertion point of the nested inserts to the current World UCS?
Ideally I would give a routine the block name and it would scan the current drawing and return a list of the translated insertionpoints>

I have a dynamic block that has a nested temporary block inside it. What I am wanting to do is replace the temporary block with the permanent block. I have tried several different variation of coding but I cannot seem to get this bad boy to work. have used:
(vla-put-name (vla-item (vla-get-blocks (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))) "tempBlockName") "newBlockName")
this gives me a duplicate names error.

I am writing a program to grab a bunch of layers from a list, check a drawing to see if the layers are on the list, and if not save to an external file. I have the second part of the program done, but I can't get the first part to work.
I am trying to open a file read the contents and save it to a list.
Here is the code I have so far, but it doesn't even get into the foreach statement.
(setq layerslist (list '"0list" '"detaillist" '"clearancelist" '"clearanceelist" '"doorsdrawerslist" '"hiddenlist" '"hiddenelist" '"deletelist"))(setq count 0)(foreach thislayer layerslist (setq f (open (strcat "C:\filterlists\" thislayer ".txt") "r")) (while (/= (setq text (read-line f)) nil) (setq (read thislayer) (cond ( (= 0 count) (cons (cons 8 text) (read thislayer)))( (append (read thislayer) (list (cons 8 text))) ) );cond );setq (setq count (+ count 1)) );while (close f) );foreach
I've also attached one of the text files. Im doing something in the wrong order, or I have something inside the wrong set of parenthesis.

Routine to build a legend in paper space
I am looking for a routine or app to pull existing MS legend symbols (inserted from the block library) from the drawing and automatically place them in a PS legend. Since I don't have a large screen and sometimes miss a symbol before running a test plot, I wish to automate the process.
I am looking for a way to populate a paper space legend with blocks inserted into the drawing for Land Desktop 2005, 2006 drawings.
I also have to replace non-conforming architectural blocks with my own, then build the legend from all drawings tabbed in the drawing file (possibly all xref drawings as well).
I liked your article on 'Selectively writing drawing blocks to any folder using VBA'. I need to brush up on my VBA 6.0 and learn VB.NET. Perhaps your code can be modified to do the task, and this would be useful to many other designers in a further article.

I 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.
Code below...
x(defun c:CX (/ Sel EntList DataList cnt Num ClrNum EntData)
(if (setq Sel (nentsel "
Select object to change layers color and linetype: "))

I have a list -
(setq List1 (list "Line A" "Line B" "Line C"))
I would like to add each item in an existing list to a new list -
(setq ListNew (list "This is some text" "This is more text"
the following is the part I can't figure out - it just adds the list to the list, not the individual items
(mapcar '(lambda (x) x) List1)))
I am looking for ListNew to be - (a list with 5 strings)
"This is some text"
"This is more text"
"Line A"
"Line B"
"Line C"

I get an AutoCAD drawing from my conveyor manufacturer who have buried a block (tagname) in all of their conveyor blocks.
The only way to remove them is to manually use BEDIT and erase the tagname block.
Is there a way through Autolisp to search all blocks in a drawings and if the tagname block is part of the definition of the conveyor block, erase the tagname block or redefine the conveyor block without the tagname block.

I have a block that i want to insert several times and revised each one to be different to do this i would have to insert it and rename the blocks that come in and then reinsert i would like to insert and have a lisp explode the main block and rename the other 2 blocks with a suffix at the end depending on how many times its in the drawing... can this even be done? My original block name that will be first inserted is "BENT PULLEY NOTES" it needs to explode after i drop it in and then there are 2 blocks within that called "Bent Pulley" and "Bent Pulley DYN" that i was hoping to keep the names but add a number at the end depending on how many are in the drawing already...
here is a lisp that i have found... it would work if i didn't have nested blocks and only wanted the one block to be insert and not explode...
(defun c:Test (/ e i name Bname )
(setq e nil)
(command "_.-insert" "Drawing1.dwg" pause "" "" "")
(if (setq e (entlast))

I have a list that contains data like this,
"Tree-01-08-AA5"
"Tree-04-12-QV"
"Tree-10-30-QS"
How would I go about sorting this list by AA5, QV, QS? I know how to use vl-sort and reverse, but I do not understand how I would go about this.

I need to modify the code below.
When I run the command and write the scale, I need to change the name of the scale and the ratio automatically. The ratio should always be in the format "1: #", also the name of the scale. Maybe assigning more variables with "setq", I do not know.
(defun c:test ()(setvar "cmdecho" 0)(setq name (getint "

Here's one that I could use on that i can't figure out:
I have a list of a bunch of descriptions that looks like this:
("00.02.00" "CTD01 Mainframe PT1 (top)" "GD01")
What I am doing is grabbing the middle item and i need to break this up into 2 lines. So, my code below grabs the first 3 "words" in the second item in the list and puts them in a list, but I need to convert this back to a string.
(setq desc6a (list (car (read (strcat "(" (cadr input6) ")" )))(cadr (read (strcat "(" (cadr input6) ")" ))) (caddr (read (strcat "(" (cadr input6) ")" )))))

Here is the code snippet from my program, I am trying to build a associative list from two regular lists in the while loop. Does ""append " or "cons" only work for simple lists? Given attributeNameList attributeValTypeList which are always of the same length
(setq listCntr 0)
(while (<= listCntr (length attributeNameList))
(setq attrTagTypeAssnList (append attrTagTypeAssnList (list ((nth listCntr attributeNameList) (nth listCntr attributeValTypeList))) ))
(setq listCntr (1+ listCntr)
)
How can I dynamically build the association list.

I've created a list and want to subtract all the values within it from another variable, and assign it to a new variable. How do I do it?
Basically, I ask for ground level (assigned to variable G1), and then any number of depths beneath that (assign to list LVLLIST), and I want to return the value of the bottom point. So it's all the values in LVLLIST added together and subtracted from G1. And assign it to a new variable BASE.
For example,
G1 = 650.00
LVLLIST = (1.23 23.26 0.13 50.23)
(setq BASE (- G1 LVLLLIST))

I would like the left column of words to be some type of drop down or list so that the user does not have to type these for each line. I don't care if it's attribute, text, mtext, just whatever gets it done.
