AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: List Of Workspaces For Menu Files CUI And CUIX
Dec 8, 2013Retrieving a list of Workspaces from menu files .cui and .cuix
The function to use is (workspacelist) which returns a list of workspace names, similar to (layoutlist) for retrieving a list of Layout names.
The functionality for extracting "WorkspaceRoot.cui" from .cuix requires copying the .cuix to .zip so that it can be accessed as a Windows compressed (zipped) folder which the Windows object "Shell.Application" provides.
Please rename the attachment to .lsp
I received the following error when I tried to post the .lsp: "The contents of the attachment doesn't match its file type."
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Freeze Layers In Viewports On Named Pages?
Jun 24, 2013I am in need of a LISP to freeze layers in viewports on named pages. I found the following functions to return the frozen vport, but it only returns the list of already frozen and it only works if the viewport is active; besides just listing the frozen layers isn't enough. I need to be able to supply the page/tab and a list of layers to freeze.
; by Jürg Menzi 1999(DEFUN GetFrozenLaysInVport (/ LayLst) (FOREACH memb(GetMviewInfo) (IF(= (CAR memb) 1003) (SETQ LayLst (CONS (CDR memb) LayLst)) ) ) (REVERSE LayLst))(DEFUN GetMviewInfo (/ ActVpt CurSet IDX RetVal TmpVal) (SETQIDX TActVpt (CAAR (VPORTS)) ) (IF (OR(= ActVpt 1)(= (GETVAR "TILEMODE") 1) ) (SETQ RetVal nil) (PROGN (SETQ CurSet (SSGET "X" '((0 . "VIEWPORT")))) (WHILE IDX(SETQ TmpVal (ENTGET (SSNAME CurSet 0) '("ACAD")))(IF (= (CDR (ASSOC 69 TmpVal)) ActVpt) (SETQIDX nilRetVal (CDR (ASSOC "ACAD" (CDR (ASSOC -3 TmpVal)))) ) (SETQ CurSet (SSDEL (SSNAME CurSet 0) CurSet))) ) (SETQ CurSet nil) ) ) RetVal)
Is it possible to provide the page/tab name and a list of layers as aguments to a subfunction that could either activate the viewport and freeze a list of layers, or simply freeze the layer list for the named page's/tab's corresponding vport.
Important: most of my pages/tabs contain at least two vports. The largest of the two vports is the only one I wish to change, but if the layer list is frozen on all vports (per page/tab) it will make no difference because the smaller vport only requires that layer 0 is visible.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Load LSP File Named For Windows Login
Sep 14, 2012If my windows login name is HSIMPSON and i have created HSIMPSON.lsp in a Supported Directory, how do I load that Lisp file via the command line?
I have tried:

but that doesn't work because the 'load' command seems to want an explicit name, not a variable name.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: CANNOSCALE Value Needs To Match Existing Named Scale
Jan 18, 2012The crux of the matter is that the CANNOSCALE value needs to match an existing named scale. This lisp is part of a bigger lisp and I need to pass a variable into it. Here's what I have:
(setvar "CANNOSCALE" (strcat "1" = " (rtos variable 2 0) "'"))
But I get this error when I try to run it.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Change Font Of Named Attribute Throughout Drawing

May 24, 2012I'm dabbling in lisp to reduce some drafting time. I'm looking for a way to move a named block left 5 inches. The names block in this instance is "Bricks". What would be the easiest way of writing this in lisp form? I searched through the forums and I couldn't find what I was looking for. This is not after an insert command. This is a block that currently exists in the drawing template.

Dec 8, 2011I've made a failed attempt to add the RIBBONCONTROL Named Views to the main Quick Access Toolbar. The Customize User Interface dialogue box (CUI) seems to allow me to drag the Named Views RIBBONCONTROL from the command list to Quick Access Toolbar 1. I don't see the "forbidden" icon and the blue insert bar shows up when I perform the drag operation.
However, I suspect there is some compatibility issue, because the command doesn't pop up when I release the mouse button at the end of the drag operation. Using command QUICKCUI and trying to drag Named Views RIBBONCONTROL directly to the Quick Access Toolbar (on screen) seems to be allowed likewise, but doesn't work also.
Using the regular View Manager Dialogue is not the kind of solution I'm looking for, because in the View Manager it takes at least twice as much mouse clicks to change to another view.
Any way to reach the desired customization? Should it be reported as a bug to Autodesk?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Add List To A List
Jul 15, 2013I have a list -

I would like to add each item in an existing list to a new list -

I am looking for ListNew to be - (a list with 5 strings)
"This is some text"
"This is more text"
"Line A"
"Line B"
"Line C"

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Delete All OLE Objects From Drawing
Nov 26, 2012how to delete all OLE objects from drawing by most efficient way.
There are abt 150 drawings, each has from 2 to 20 or so OLE objects which need to be deleted. OLE objects are on many paper spaces.
I tried to use qselect but it selects only what is in current space.
Would need some lisp or some other methode than all can be deleted (excluding those which resides in blocks).
Tried also yto use ssx and then erase but still it deletes only what is on current space.
Just as additional info, those OLE are all pictures, not xls files for example.

so, how can I delete a/all block with specific name in current drawing?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Layer State Delete
Feb 20, 2013i have a small lisp and i would like for it to:
when i invoke the plot command, it will first check if there is a layer state called "Temp"if "Temp" exists, then delete "Temp", then re-create "Temp", then switch layer state temporariliy to "Plot" to plot the file, and then switch back to the "Temp" layer state againbasically, the "Plot" layer state will be set based on how the drawing(s) will plot. if a user makes changes here-n-there in the drawing, when the user wants to plot, the software will save current state as "Temp", plot using the "Plot" state, and switch back to "Temp" state at the end. all i am trying to achieve is to somehow over-write the "Temp" state. below is the LISP.
(command "undefine" "plot")
(defun clot ()
(if (layerstate-has "Temp")
(layerstate-delete “Temp”)
)

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Delete Empty Block?
Jan 29, 2013The below gets the block names of empty block records. The blocks may or may not be actually inserted in the dwg. In my case though, apparently they are nested in other blocks in the drawing I am working with... but it looks as if they are part of deeply nested block definitions and therefore cannot be purged. I checked a couple blocks (the code returns over 1000 in my case) it returns and there are no objects in its definition.
How can I force them out of a drawing - and hopefully reduce it's file size?
(defun NullBlocks (/ block *thisdwg* block nullblocks)
(setq *thisdwg* (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))
(vlax-for block (vla-get-blocks *thisdwg*) ;iterate block table

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Appending Associative List

(while (<= listCntr (length attributeNameList))
(setq attrTagTypeAssnList (append attrTagTypeAssnList (list ((nth listCntr attributeNameList) (nth listCntr attributeValTypeList))) ))

How can I dynamically build the association list.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Subtracting List From A Variable
Sep 17, 2013I've created a list and want to subtract all the values within it from another variable, and assign it to a new variable. How do I do it?
Basically, I ask for ground level (assigned to variable G1), and then any number of depths beneath that (assign to list LVLLIST), and I want to return the value of the bottom point. So it's all the values in LVLLIST added together and subtracted from G1. And assign it to a new variable BASE.
For example,
G1 = 650.00
LVLLIST = (1.23 23.26 0.13 50.23)
(setq BASE (- G1 LVLLLIST))
