AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Convert Attribute Tag Into Attribute Value?

Dec 8, 2011

Background: Someone exploded an attribute block and copied it hundreds of times throughout a project, each time changing the Attribute Tag to match the Value they expected to appear in their drawing.  The drawing must be xrefed, so the attribute definitions do not appear.

(There is only 1 attribute in the block.) 

Proposed Solutions:

1:AutoLISP routine which copies Tag data from Attribute Definition into Value of Attribute Block:

Prompt-Select Attribute Definition

Copy Tag data

Prompt-Select Attribute Block

Paste data into Value

(Allow repeat to speed workflow)(*PREFERRED*)

2:AutoLISP routine which copies Tag data from Attribute Definition into Default Value and creates a new Block:

Prompt-Select Attribute Definition

Copy Tag data

Paste data into Default Value

Create New Block

(Select Multiple Objects)(Creates tons of new blocks which are messy)

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Get Attribute Value

Jun 3, 2013

I am trying to find a lisp that would get an attribute value (tag name = NBR_5) . I'm trying to run a simple routine that would let the user place the value from the titleblock attribute as text on a drawing. I see a ton of articles regarding getting attributes but I am not well versed in programming.

Say I have a block that contains two attributes, one contains a value that is a number and another contains a value that is letters. I have many of these blocks placed in a drawing, could you create a lisp that would return the sum of the number value and return it to the command line along with the letter value. Something like this:

Sum--------Item

2389 SP4

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Substituting Text With Attribute?

Apr 29, 2013

I run into some issues where i need to change an attribute based on where a block is located on a drawing.  I started this routine to select the block, and then select the text that I want to change the block attribute to.  It seems like everything is working up until this point.  What I want to do is then replace the first selected with the second selection.  How would I go about doing that?  here's my code so far:

(defun C:uf ()
(if (setq fuse (nentsel "
Select Fuse Attribute: "))  
(progn     
(setq en (car fuse))    
(setq enlist (entget en))      
(setq fuseatt(cdr (assoc 1 enlist)) )   )  )      
(if (setq mt(car (entsel "
Select Text: ")))  
(progn          
(setq enlist2 (entget mt))    
(cdr (assoc 1 enlist2))     
(setq wiren(cdr (assoc 1 enlist2)) )     )          )
)

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Extending Attribute Definition

Jul 6, 2012

I am trying to customize AutoCAd for a special domain where attribute values need to have a type. I can have a clean integrated solution by manipulating the acad.dcl or base.dcl .I am using AutoCAD 2012 . I want to extend the " define attribute" and "edit attribute" dialog boxes to promt the user for a value type when they define an attribute .I can't find the definition for these dialog boxes in acad/ base dcl files. Ideally I want to add another tile definition to these dialog boxes .If that is not possible atleast spawn a different dialog box  from the "define attribute " dialog box that will collect the value type from the user.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: EditTitle Block Attribute

Jul 16, 2013

I am trying to update my Title Block with a LISP routine (As the title implies).

So far, this is what i have...

(defun c:aTest (/ ss att)  
(if (setq ss (ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "INSERT")(cons 2 "TB_PARAMOUNT_ELC")       
(cons 66 1)(if (getvar "CTAB")(cons 410 (getvar "CTAB"))              
(cons 67 (- 1 (getvar "TILEMODE")))))))    
(progn      
(foreach ent (mapcar 'cadr (ssnamex ss))    
(setq att (entnext ent))    

[Code]...

The title block, block name is static. The attribute name is static.

My ultimate goal is to copy the value of one attribute and "paste" that into the value of another attribute, and itterate this through the entire project.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Dxf 1 Group In Multiline Attribute?

Jul 23, 2012

significance of extra dxf 1 groups in the entity data of a multiline attribute? I am looking at one for the first time, so I don't know whether or not to expect multiple 1 groups. In the single example I have created there are two and the first one seems to be ignored. Can I count on that being the case all the time? Data for the one I'm looking at follows, and what shows up on the drawing display is only the contents of the second dotted pair with 1 as a key.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
((-1 . <Entity name: 7ec37d18>)
(0 . "ATTRIB")
(330 . <Entity name: 7ec37d10>)
(5 . "323")
(100 . "AcDbEntity")
(67 . 0)
(410 . "Model")

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: No Attribute Dialog Boxes?

Apr 13, 2011

I have several lisp routines that we have used since release 12 that now dont work in 2012. They all placed blocks with attributes, allowed user to fill in and continued to finish. In 2012 the attribute dialog box does not come up and point information for block placement is filled in the attributes. Is there a system variable that changes dialog boxes in 2012?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Multiple Files Same Attribute In All

Jul 5, 2012

i am wondering if it is possible to alter a specific attribute in cca 250 files? I have this template which has like 50-70 attributes,but not all of them are used. I have to change only one attribute in all of the files. For instance, i have an attribute with a specisfic tag, but the content of it is ie MARK, i want to change MARK to PETER, without having to open,click,retype,save,close every file. Is it possible to automatize it somehow? maybe lisp, batch or even VB?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Filter For Specific Attribute Tag

Aug 30, 2011

How would one modify

(= (cdr (assoc 0 data)) "ATTRIB")

in order to filter for a certain attribute tag named MYTAG

I am working with a custom LISP routine which reports out to a CSV file, an attribute extraction file - but I need my routine to ONLY evaluate blocks which have the MYTAG attribute tag. Then, if it passes that first check, it evaluates another list of Tags within those blocks - a list of tags which I have specified elsewhere in the code.

I am trying to modify my existing code as little as possible, and I think that if I do it at the line (which I've pasted above) - that will "pre-qualify" my selection set....

ATTACHED LISP IS THE FILE I AM WORKING WITH --- THE ACTUAL LINE I WANT TO MODIFY IS AT:

"(while (eq ENSUB "ATTRIB")"

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Multileader Attribute Layer
