View 9 RepliesI have too many blocks with specific layers inside.
develope lisp can change all to layer 0 but keep color and linetype as it is.
I will use this as a part of script to change multiple block.
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..
wondering if is possible to have a lisp routine to:After use the INSERT command, the routine will automatically change the layer of the inserted block to a specific layer according of its name.
i.e.
Step 1 : I will insert a block named Block A using the normal autocad INSERT command (I do not want to insert the block without the Insert window dialog box)
Step 2 : After the insertion, the routine will select the last insertion (or the last object, or any other best way to select this block and will take it's name)
Step 3 : The routine has a list that says:
(If the last insertion (or object) is named Block A, put it in the layer Layer A with color Bylayer and linetype Bylayer)
(If the last insertion (or object) is named Block B, put it in the layer Layer B with color Bylayer and linetype Bylayer)
and so on... I can make the approprieated list by myself folowing my standards.
I think it will be nice to avoid an error if the block is not in the list. So:
(If the last insertion (or object) name is not in the list, do nothing)
To finish, it will be nice to create the layer if it does not exist. Also, Unlock, Thaw and Turn on the layer if it's Locked, Frozen or Off.
lisp..It work fine but just that i need some minor modificatio to it...At moment, when i activate the lisp, it will automatic select all dimension,leader and multileader to a layer call "DIMENSION"...Anyway i wonder if it is possible to prevent any dimension,leader or multileader in layer "Section" will not be change to layer "Dimension"?

Looking for starting point to writing a routine that will open blocks in a drawing and change the colour.We receive drawings from clients with their blocks and would like to have them changed to our company colours.
So basically, i am looking for something that would within a drawing, change every block to a specific color without exploding and redefining. The colour changes will be the same throughout new drawings.
We are using autocad 2010 and I have written a routine that will insert several blocks on to several layers. I thought it worked flawlessly, until I used it. Our drawings use layer states. When one state is in use, all the other layers are frozen. We want to insert a block, at a specific point chosen by the user, and the lisp routine will insert a couple of other blocks at that same point, but on a layer that is frozen. Three blocks installed in all, at the same point, on two layers. The routine works if all layers are thawed, but not if the layers are frozen.
(defun c:lP1 () ; this starts the routine
(setq temperr *error*) ; saves *error*
(setq *error* rerr) ; sets the new error variable
(command "_.Undo" "_mark") ; start of "undo" command

I have blocks that were created on one layer but inserted on another layer. So, when i turn the layer off that the blocks were inserted on they remain visible because you have to turn off the layer they were created on to have them disappear. Is there a way for me to determine what layer the blocks were created on?

1) select a few group of pre-set block name
2) change all these pre-set bloack name to a layer " Eye Bolt"
At moment, i have several kind of block such as example of "EB10", "TEB10","EB8","TEB8" and etc.
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 the following Lisp command that changes a selected layer to a different layer. I have tried modifying it change known layer names to different known layer names. i.e run routine and it changes layer "2" to "3" then changes layer "dim" to "dims" ect then stops.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been experimenting with lists and I'm curious about the fastest / easiest way to get the next element from a list:
Currently my best shot is to wrap (member 2 '(1 2 3)) with: (car(cdr (member 2 '(1 2 3))))
What I am trying to do is grab the value of the owner tag (of which there are four), and use that value to determine which layer to place it on. What it seems to be doing is hanging.
Here is what I have so far:
(setq SSBlks (ssget "x"'((0 . "*INSERT"))))
(while (/= (sslength SSBlks) 0)
(setq w(sslength SSBlks) V 0)
(setq attentity (ssname SSBlks 0))
(setq attname (entget attentity))
(setq cntr 0)
(while (< V cntr)

I need to do three things in a LISP routine for around 200 drawings. First, I need rename lots of old layer to new standard layer name, like change layer name "CL-RAILWAY-0" to new layer name "CL-0".
Secondly, I need translate some layer to standard layer, like all the things on layer "CL-WATER-160" to layer "CL-0"
Last, change some linetype, like change linetype"CENTER" to "CENTERLINE". I can do all those things by "CHECKSTANDARD" manually, but I really need someway faster and easier.
how to write a lisp that when i activate it, it will change all the objects in the drawings to be change to "Layer 0" and all linetypes "Dashed" change to be "hidden"...

I am using 2011 Civil 3D and there is a bug I am trying to get a workaround for. If your drawing is not closed with layer 0 being the current layer several different civil 3D entities assume the color of the current layer of xref'd drawings.
From my reading it appears I need a reactor to thaw layer 0 and make it current before close or exit commands. I am not a programmer and have struggled making this work.
I am looking for a lisp routine to search the layer table to find a particular layer color and change color.

How to change the Scale Uniformly property in dynamic blocks accross hundreds of drawings using either/or scripts, lisp, vba or anything else that might do the job.
I just need to open the drawing and select the block (one block per drawing) then edit the scale uniformly property within the block, save then close the drawing and move onto the next drawing.
I need to be able to grab all polylines and change global width at once. This is a repetitve task that i have created a button for. I am trying to use this but it is not working. It gets hung up on me wanting to manually select the polylines when i thought i grabbed them with the first line.

Is there a tool out there that will allow me to pick an object and change it's layer properties?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have 2000+ drawings that have either the layer state "LMAN_DWF" or "DWF". I want all of them to read "DWF" for scripting purposes. LSIP routine that will go into a drawing and change rename a layerstate if it is named incorreclty, but do nothing if it is named correctly?
Does Layer State "DWF" exist?
If Yes, skip file and move on to next file
If No, does Layer State "LMAN_DWF" exist?
if Yes Rename Layer State to "DWF"
If No, skip file and move to next file.
Or a LSIP routine that can simply dump a list of all drawings in a directory that contain "LMAN_DWF" as a layer state. I could then use that list to do a simple script to change the layer state names on those specific files.
I want a lisp to change all object colours from bylayer to its color Example (if layer doors its color is blue the color of objects drawn in this layer will by blue not bylayer)
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a library that has a primary folder with 11 subfolders. If the LISP can go through all the subfolders, that would be great. But, if it cannot, I can work with going into each subfolder and running the routine. There are over 12,000 files and I don't have the time to open each one and change the color.
Here's what I need the LISP to do:
open the drawing
select everything
change the color to "bylayer"
save
close
open next drawing in folder and repeat
Once it gets to the end of the folder it can stop.
