How to convert the format obtained in "CDate" in absolute minutes?
ex:
Command: (rtos (getvar "CDate") 2 4)
The result is:
"20130326.1301"
What I need is:
+01 minuts
+13 hours X 60 = 780 minuts
+26 x 1440 = 37440 minuts
the current time this month is: 38221 minutes
I have made a lisp routine to draw lines on polyline. And here are a lot of lines on it. So using comand
"(command "line" pt1 pt2 " ")"
takes a lot of time. Is here a way to creat lines in memory or similar and only then draw them all on screen?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to change a lot of table cell text in one time, try to explain something.
In the front of my drawings i have a view tables. in the second column stays a code that represent a location.
e.g. LVC stays for Low voltage cubicle. Now it is my intention to substitute these code to the description of code in one time and only the second column. The several descriptions are written in an .txt file, like LVC;Low voltage cubicle and on the next row LVP;Low voltage panel, and so on.
I think it is only possible with Lisp? or there are other way?
In the past i did it one by one, because mostly there where 2 or 3 tables, now i have a big project with more than 20 tables.

I have searched the web and the Autodesk Discussion Group for a LISP Routine that allows me to convert all attributes in a drawing to Layer 0 but i have had no luck. It would be great if the LISP could edit xrefs as well although not sure if this is possible.
**BATTMAN command will take too long for the hundreds of blocks, xrefs and drawings i need to edit.
I wrote code for an application that stores links to lines and blocks in dictionaries using handles. The routines work well and I can manipulate the data marvelously, but if one of the lines or blocks get erased the whole danged opera falls apart. I knew this when I wrote the routines and have always been careful about using the ERASE command, as a matter of fact, I considered disabling it.
I am trying to make the package more robust. I have been experimenting with attaching a reactor (:vlr-erased) to the objects which fires when the object is erased. Unfortunately it fires before I can retrieve the handle of the object so that I can remove the references from the dictionaries. The only thing that I can retrieve once ERASE fires is the ObjectID. I can't seem to find a Visual Lisp routine to convert this value to a handle, does one exist? Is there an ObjectID collection that has any references in it?
I am trying to shorten my code by using the variable as the command name. Is that possible to do?

Run TIME command and then take the resulting text and save it to a file.
Ideally, the text file should be named based on the drawing name. I know there's ways to write text to a file but I haven't had any luck taking the output of a command and exporting it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to finalize a routine which extracts attributes (created in all CAPS) from a drawing, does a bit of list handling and then will finally write each item of that list to its own line out to a TXT file.
I've had a request from an end-user to change the case of the words in the TXT file from all UPPERCASE to having each Word Capitalized Within Each Item :
e.g. :
the raw list is currently:
"DINING ROOM 1209" "LIBRARY1210" "CORRIDOR A100" "COPY ROOM 1215"
and the current output to TXT file:
DINING ROOM 1209
LIBRARY1210
CORRIDOR A100
COPY ROOM 1215
But I'd like the list to be processed within AutoCAD so that its format is changed to:
"Dining Room 1209" "Library 1210" "Corridor A100" "Copy Room 1215"
because the desired output to the TXT file is:
Dining Room 1209
Library 1210
Corridor A100
Copy Room 1215
Is there any way to convert ALL CAPS to more of a Capitalized format?

I only do programming when absolutely needed so it usually only happens every couple years. I wrote this routine to count nested blocks inside of dynamic blocks to count parking spaces. The routine worked fine but was relying on the ltscale to scale a block containing an attribute for the total number of spaces. I want to update the routine to use an annotative block so the scale doesn't have to be set. I changed my block containing the attribute but now when I run my routine, the attribute height gets changed each time the routine is run. The text just gets larger and larger. Here is the portion of the routine where the attribute info is gathered and updated with the new value for that attribute. If you need the entire routine, I can post it with a slight modification so it will work outside our network.
(defun updateattrib ()
(setq CNT 0) ; sets count to 0
(while (< CNT (sslength ss)) ; starts loop while CNT is less than the number of objects in the group

Our customer send us drawing with ellipse segments into.

Is there any plugin that could replace that tool ?

I need a way to make 2 or 3 times per week this converting on all ellipses of large and detail 2D drawings so no time to offset in and out all those .
I try also DXFOUT in R12 but all the spline are being converted into 3d polyline making a huge files that froze my PC.
I also try FLATTEN but did not see how it work , the ellipse stay an ellipse.
I need a function that allows to convert the polylines selected with a width globalize defined in a double closed line (spaced by the same width of the polyline), with a hatch inserted automatically defined.
Brilliant idea to draw raceways quickly: instead of making handmade double lines, connect, enter the hatches all by hand, you could quickly draw the polyline with width identical to the size of the duct, and then the lisp transform it into a duct more aesthetically pleasing if compared to the full polyline!

View 6 Replies View RelatedSomeday 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 "

I am aware of the plot stamp available in the Plot Dialog box, however, we are looking at ways to imbed this info in the dwg. I currently have the WD_TB with an attribute for FULLFILENAME, an attribute for PLOT DATE, and an attribute for PLOT TIME12. So I get the information on the dwg. I would like to be able to run all these attributes as a string. I have tried FULLFILENAME|PLOT DATE|PLOT TIME12 with spaces, commas, ( ), " ", etc. and I do not know the proper syntax to get this to work. I have also tried (getenv "FULLFILENAME") or the getvar, in the title descriptions box.
