AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Customize Sub Command Shortcut Polyline
Jun 14, 2012
I want to know how to change subcommand shortcut
When I do a Polyline, after i done an arc section, I would like to be able to press "F" instead of "L" to do a line section...
Is there an easy way to do that or do I have to reprogram a new Polyline command in lisp with the subcommand shortcut that I would like? (would prefer to avoid it as sometime I have to work on LT)
The reason behind all of this is that I remapped all my command to keys that are on the left side of the keyboard ... it work really well and I almost never have to lift my left hand except for the case with the polyline... the L key is miles away ...
Right now I remapped a button on my mouse to "L" but its not as natural as just using the keyboard...

Creating a ribbon for Partial Customization files in the CUI, and I am trying to setup some buttons for existing polylines for example underground electric and overhead electric. When writing the macro what are some ideas for creating a polyline with the proper linetype for that particular object rather than changing the layer in layer properties dialogue.

I would like to take all the vertices out of a multiple-vertices polyline so that it reduces to just its start and end points, can this be done?

Due to modeling purposes, I need to convert a 3D polyline to a spline. What I have been doing is:
- change polyline fit/smooth to cubic from properties
- convert polyline to spline by typing spline -> object
- method -> fit from properties
You can see the original 3D polyline (green) and the resulting spline (magenta) in the attached drawing.When I zoom in and measure the distance between the two entities at different points along them, at some points the perpendicular distance exceeds 5 millimeters, and I want to ensure the deviation remains under 1 millimeter or even less.
I know I can change the knot parameterization of the spline, and this does work at some locations, but the difference increases at others.Why is there a 5.6 mm difference between the spline fit point and 3D polyline vertex, as measure in the attached drawing?
Now, I can go and manually stretch the fit point to coincide with the vertex. Also, I can add fit points between existing ones to drag the spline closer to the original 3D poly.
However, some of my polys are really long, and it is very time-consuming to do this manually while measuring points along the entities to make sure the distance stays small enough.
how to automate this process? For example a lisp that would maybe take the original vertex points, add say maybe 3 (not too many) new ones between them, and then generate a spline while making sure the deviation is less than the set value of 1mm? I am using AutoCAD 2013.

I'm trying create a LISP to customize PDF creation. The lisp looks into the .PC3 file which paper size better fits the plot area. But its exaustive to every time i want to create a new paper size i have to open the .pc3 file and configure a new paper.
There is a way to open the .pc3 properties through lisp?

I am currently writing a series of routines for setting the layers for text, leaders and dimension commands. The end goal is a system where any annotation command sets the correct layer for the duration of the command, then reverts back to the layer that was active before the command.
I have managed to complete all the code, and it appears to be working fine, I just have one question: I have used -layer "m" "Lay_name" etc... for all layer setting commands, rather than any code to see if the layer exists already. In my limited testing this seems to be suitable, nothing that exists on that layer seems to be affected.
I know how to write code to determine if the layer exists already and set the layer instead, but so far it seems unnecessary??

I want to create a shortcut key (like TAB) for example and whenever I start a polyline or move or whatever, I can hit TAB which will grab the angle my cursor is at, and then use the angle lock to lock the cmd into that direction. (This is essentially what can be done in rhino if you are familiar with this).
The manual way in autocad is typing it ("<45") but I just want to calculate angle from the start point to cursor point. and then once hitting tab or a key or a new command, it will lock with that angle. How can I go about programming this.

I am using acad 2010. I have a contour generator that uses 3d polylines to make contours. I get depressions or tops where I don't want them. I need a lisp routine that will allow me to adjust the z value only on any 3d polyline. I need to raise or lower the z value at any vertex and repeat if necessary. I don't need to prompt the user- I am the user.

I create contour line in TOPOGRAPH program, and I import these polylines to AUTOCAD. I have to set elevation for each polyline manually, and I waste a lot of time doing that.
So looking for lisp doing that automatically. I mean, invoke the command, set the first elevation and them select the polylines.
e.g. The first elevation is 530. The next polyline that I select is 531 and so on.

For the sake of editing, I sometimes make LWPOLYLINES and convert them to regions so that I can union and subtract and intersect, etc.
then sometimes, like now, I want to work with them like as LWPOLYLINES again.
is there some command I don't know, or some routine or shall I make one?

I want to make a keyboard shortcut that will turn on/off my osnap, polar, and otrack.I would be fine with setting F3 to do this, or any other key really.I like to be able to turn these off on the fly, but it is getting old having to press all three.

is there a way to draw a polyline and have autocad clip everything outside of that polyline and discard it so that i end up with a smaller drawing. only the information in that polyline, nothing outside of the polyline

I've been searching on and off all morning for a lisp routine, without any luck. I'm trying to draw a pline with a pre determined width (5") and be able to draw unlimited line segments then automatically fillet with a pre determined radius (5").
I wrote this generic macro: ^C^CPLINEWID;5;PL;\\;FILLET;R;5;F;P;LAST; to save SOME time but I want unlimited line segments. Can this be modified or would a lisp be the better route to go?

Code below, for labeling polyline areas
It works great for what i want, with 2 exceptions the text is to small and the label is not inserted at the centroid of the polyline, rather it is placed outside the polyline.
i am able to increase the text style by adjusting the dimscale before i run the command, however it would be good if the program could do that automatically, i would like the text to be about 300 units high, and for the label to be placed at the centroid of the polyline
(defun C:AT ( / ss i)

do you know command or lisp that will do new pollyline between two polyline on 1/3 or 1/4 space between them.
I need sommething that would be faster,know is use measure on pollilines then i draw between horizontall polylines on verteks or point new pollyline and then divide it on 4 or 3 parts.

I have to intersect polylines "POLYLINE" and "LWPOLINE" with a line and get all the angles of all segments of the polyline that are intersected.
To do this I used a loop that monitors all the vertices of each polyline to find the two vertices of the polyline segment that intersects the line. Unfortunately, these polylines have thousands of vertices and the processing done in this way takes too long.
With the vlax-curve-getClosestPointTo I could very quickly find the vertex of the polyline closest to that intersected with the line, but I need to find the other vertex of the polyline segment to determine the angle of this.
Another question: is there a quick function that returns the exact point of intersection of two curves (e.g. A line and a polyline, or a line and a circle?

I´m looking for opportunities to can modify a polyline with 4 or more segments in a polyline with arc. I think it´s possible to pick start and end segment first and than all straight segments to will be in arc segments.

I have to go through quite a few drawings and extract the attribute vales of the whole drawing and then a subset contained within a couple of polylines.
The whole drawing is Ok as I can use at out or the data extraction, but its the ones contained within a polyline. How do I do that?

I have made an extra CUI that is loaded as a partial CUI.
Now I want to add a context-sensitive shortcut menus like this: POP504, OBJECT_AEC_DOOR.
The problem is that this shortcut menu only shows up if I add the shortcut menu to the main CUI file. If I add it in some partial CUI it never shows.
Does shortcut menus only work from within the main CUI?

I'm creating a deployment for AutoCAD 2014.
At the end of the deploy process I'd like to end up with a custom AutoCAD shortcut on the desktop that calls an ARG file. This is no problem.
The problem is that to get that shortcut I need to check the "create desktop shortcut" check box and then I wind up with 2 shortcuts on the desktop, the default "AutoCAD 2014 - English" and my custom shortcut.

I am writing a routine that will place a piece of text at a specified point along a polyline. My problem is to determine the angle for the text. It needs to be the same as the segment of the polyline that it falls on. Just can't get my head around how to get that angle?
I can get a list of the vertex point of the polyline, but how do I determine the segment the point falls on?
