I have a List with values shown
A=(0 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.2 0.2 0.3 0.3)
I have to check that how many elements are the same and which one is the first and the last in the same elements.
Like 1.0 is the number 1 element and third element the the 3rd element. how can i Manipulate is Visual Lisp.
I have to obtain a selection set of blocks (by window selection and/or single-picks if the user desires) and then an attribute value which I have previously assigned to a variable called TAGVAL to the attribute tag name called PART in that selection set of blocks.
I found a cool routine called RepAtt, but it isn't quite set up to do what I need...
(defun RepAtt (Tag / SourceBlk ValueToCopy SelSet) (vl-load-com) (if (setq SourceBlk (car (entsel "
Select Source Block:"))) (progn (mapcar '(lambda (p) (if (equal (vla-get-tagstring p) Tag) (setq ValueToCopy (vla-get-textstring p)) ) ) (vlax-invoke (vlax-ename->vla-object SourceBlk) 'GetAttributes ) ) (ssget ":L" '((0 . "INSERT") (66 . 1))) (vlax-for DesBlock (setq SelSet (vla-get-activeselectionset (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)) ) ) (foreach att (vlax-invoke DesBlock 'GetAttributes) (if (equal (vla-get-tagstring att) Tag) (vla-put-textstring att ValueToCopy) ) ) ) (vla-delete SelSet) ) ) ) (RepAtt "WIDGET");<-- Tag Name
We have developed processes, standard operating procedures, work instructions (whatever you want to call it) for several tasks we do on a regular basis. More importantly, tasks that we don't do on a regular basis. On some processes, performing certain commands is a critical step in the quality of the product. I have also developed a lot of lisps to streamline these processes. Of course there are commands that just don't make sense to try and include into existing lisps.
The problem we're having though, is that people are not following the processes. I don't know if they think they are smarter than the process, or if they don't understand the process, or if they are just complacent.
One of the things that would really work to get everyone to follow the process, is to have my lisp routines check to see what the last entry at the command line was.
For example, if one of my lisps depended on the drawing be saved, well, instead of putting the save command in the lisp, sometimes it would be beneficial to check to see if the drawing was saved in the first place. Kudos to those who do follow the process, they do save the drawing, and then run the lisp. On rather large files, I would prefer not to save the drawing twice, back to back.
There are a lot more benefits to checking to see what the last user entry was, in a certain drawing.
I want autolisp program to check overlap like in closed or open polyline with any other entity in the drawing, whether other entity is overlapping inside the polyline or not, i am beginner in autolisp and want to know exactly which functions are used or the program itself Also if possible to check circular overlap of one polyline with itself.

How do I check, with LISP, if a System Variable is read only? In particular ANNOTATIVEDWG. This one is read/write when there are no annotative objects in a drawing, but read-only if there are.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to add an on and off checkmark via lisp to an item in a pull down menu.
It can be done with diesel but only on system variables.
In my case i can't use sysvars - only lisp.
I tried (menucmd ....) but I get nil.
I have 2 selection sets and I'm looking for a more elegant method of checking if both sets contain the exact same entities (note - the order of entities might be different).
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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.
how can I check whether an object has a reactor connected?
I wrote the following
(defun c:**** (/ ogg collegaReactor) (setq ogg (car (entsel))) (setq collegaReactor (vlr-object-reactor (list (vlax-ename->vla-object ogg)) "NOMEAPP" '( (:vlr-modified . testedit) (:vlr-objectClosed . endedit) ) ) ))(defun testedit (notifier-object reactor-object parameter-list / ogg collegaReactor) (alert "testedit"))(defun endedit (notifier-object reactor-object parameter-list / ogg collegaReactor) (alert "endedit"))
If I start two or three or more times the "c:****" and select the same object, when I changethe "alert" appear several times.
I have redined AutoCAD's copy command alias to C, but to also do other things, like set a few important variables in the background. One of the lisps I've incororated are making new viewports, that also create layers that are visibly specific to the viewport being created.
We were tasked a while ago to do an easy job of copying entities (dimensions, text and what not) in a layout. The problem is, users are copying the viewports too, which is bit more ineffificent than using the create viewport command I developed.
Is there a way to see if a selection set includes (0 . "VIEWPORT") entities? If the check returns nil, well then all is good. If the check returns "true", then I can prompt the user that a "VIEWPORT" entity is selected. I can then exit the command, or ask the user if they are sure they want to copy the "VIEWPORT" entity.
I have a block with:
tag1: XX
tag2: YYYYYY

How can I iterate through and check the object type of all objects in model space? And... then delete them if they are certain types... like lines, circles, polylines, text, mtext, etc?
I have inside every text,Mtext contents different text style like Arial_1 , Arial_2.
How i can give all the contents inside one style ? the normal procedure i will enter inside text to enter editing mode and changing text format style one by one. I want it once.
I want to save my routing of entering every text to change its content text style.
(Notice:select all from outside without editing mode will not do the job)
I want to insert another drawing layout tabs contents in current drawing.
It's easy for MODEL tab, but for LAYOUT tabs, I dont know how!?
I prepared a code for INSERTING MODEL tab in current drawing:
(defun INS_DWG (TAB path dwg P / blk)(setq blk (strcat ""*" path dwg """));(setq N (vla-get-count (vla-get-layouts)));;Number of LAYOUT TABS in dwg(if (or(= TAB 0) (= TAB nil))(command "INSERT" blk P 1 0)); TAB=0 or omitted ==>Insert MODEL;(if (= TAB 1));==>Insert the 1st LAYOUT in dwg file;(if (= TAB 2));==>Insert the 2nd LAYOUT in dwg file;and so on....);;;usage:;;(INS_DWG 0 "c:\test\" "test.dwg" '(0 0))
Technique that can check the current plotter name for the current tab and assign it to a variable? i.e. can it be assigned to a variable to check if if equals "myplotter1". The next step - is there a technique to change the plotter name to "myplotter2.pc3".
I have partially done the latter part of this in the past using the -plot command line to ASSIGN a new plotter but I would really like to only run the routine if it really needs to.
select all blocks on certain layers in a drawing, check attribute CIRCUIT in each block if it starts with MS then attribute CONTROL = switched. I hope thats clear enough the way

Is it possible to create a dynamic block completely from scratch using Lisp?
I also want the ability to be able to create different dynamic block geometry depeding on the Visibility parameter.
I seem to be able to create the normal (non-dynamic) block geometry using Lisp but cannot seem to find out a way to enter the block editor and create stuff pertaining to dynamic blocks.
I have 1000's of dynamic blocs to create and looking to a way to automate this using Lisp.
Is there a lisp that will allow me to do a continuous dimension, but will alternate the dimension position from low, high, low and high? If there is no lisp already created, how to create one?
See Continuous dimension attachment for example.
I work at a glass and glazing company and this is how we dimension mullion width and DLO. See typical window dimensioning attachment for window elevation with dimensions.
I have a list ("temp.dwg" "temp2.dwg") and would like to add the string "insert text here" into each item in the list resulting in ("insert text heretemp.dwg" "insert textheretemp2.dwg"). how would i go about doing that using LISP?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'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:

what it's supposed to do is when looking at the layout tab that you want you can switch to the model space location of the same zoom as the layout tab without messing with the layout zoom.
