I cannot purge a textstyle out of my drawing. When I run purge nothing is available.
However if I select the style from the style dialog I am able to select delete and delete the style.
When I use the method on the style (vlax-invoke-method style 'Delete). AutoCAD states:
Automation Error. Object is referenced by other object(s)
The style is defenatly not in use but may have been used in the past.
I am looking for a way to change the text style used by a table style with Visual LISP. So far I have been able to get the IAcadTableStyle object from the acad_tablestyle dictionary, but there is no property for text style. Is this even possible? Code and results are below.
(defun DumpTableStyles ()
(setq dict (vla-get-dictionaries (vla-get-activedocument(vlax-get-acad-object))))
(setq TableStyles (vla-item dict "acad_tablestyle"))
(vlax-for TableStyle TableStyles
(vlax-dump-object TableStyle)
)
)

I am trying to put together a LISP that changes the font of two text styles. One bing named "Standard", and the other "WD".
This is what I have so far...
(defun C:CHANGESTYLE (/ entities len count ent ent_data ent_name new_style_name)
(command "STYLE" "Standard" "Romantic" "" "" "" "" "")
(setq entities (ssget "X" '((0 . "TEXT")))
len(sslength entities) count 0);

I couldn't figure out how to select mtext and text all in one swoop, so i ran it twice
Now, when i run this code, i get the following error "lselsetp nil".

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 wrote (setq oldtext (getvar "textstyle")) to save the current text style,
(setvar "textstyle" (getvar "dimtxsty")) to change the text style to the current dimension text style (which appens to be romans) and later (setvar "textstyle" oldtext) to restore the text style to its original setting but it won't work.
This is the same format used to save and restore osnap in many lisp routines.
When I check the program in the visual lisp editor, oldtext returns "standard" (the original text style - so that part works) but "textstyle" returns nil. I even tried (setvar "textstyle" "standard") to no avail. "Textstyle" remains romans.
Automatically deleting all text entities that do not include 5 or more numerical values.
By numerical value i mean a whole number 1-10.
Selecting certain text based on criteria would be useful.
I have a lisp function that is updating attribute values on a newly inserted block. The lisp function uses entget to read the attribute. Then it plugs a new value into the assoc 1 using subst, then uses entmod to update the attribute's value. It all works fine except that the attribute loses its style, i.e. assoc 7, somehow. If I do an entget on the attribute right after the entmod the assoc 7 is nil. The symptom on the drawing is that the attribute value is not visible until I close and open the drawing.
This only happens on a newly inserted block on existing drawings. If I close the drawing and reopen it then the lisp function works fine. Or If I insert the same block on a new drawing it all works fine. what would cause the assoc 7 to go missing after an entmod to change the attribute value?
im my current coding project im attempting to change the font stlye of 1 text item
i tried used the simple method of
[code]
(command "STYLE" "simplex" "ARIAL" "" "" "" "" "")
[/code]
however, using this changes the text's font in the whole drawing
i searched the forums here and everything i found either didnt work or changed all the text.
is there a more elegant way of doing this with just a selected text item and not the text in the whole drawing?
I'm running the following string in a routing that is looping so I get dozens of these prompts. How to supress these? Or, do i have to use to entmake?
(begin loop...
(command ".-Mtext" CSW-Tpoint "W" 0.0 (vl-filename-base (vla-get-imagefile image)) "")
);end loop
Prints to the command line..

Is there a way to toggle between customized old style menus and new style workspaces?

We have some huge models and people seem to forget to change their visual styles back to 2D wireframe before saving and exiting drawings. Some models will crash on some workstations when trying to open in a rendered mode.

how 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.
I need to delete a specific block from current opened drawing by LISP command.
for example removing XREF attached is very easy:
(COMMAND "-XREF" "D" "FRAME")
I can remove "FRAME" XREF from drawing. Now, I want to delete a/all block with "TB12" name with same action!
(command "BlockDelete" "TB12")
so, how can I delete a/all block with specific name in current drawing?
There are many lisp that draw offset line but what about opposite way , I have wall of double line i need to delete one of them let's say inside wall line .
why i need to do this usually when i tracing in external program like autocad architecture or Revit or archicad i just need outline of exterior and interior walls !.
is there way that can delete the offset line ?(or within range predefined in lisp to prevent interfering of lines deletion).
i 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”)
)

A plugging we use has just updated and loading double menus causing error messages prompting that menu already exists unable to load.
In my cui the menus are loaded in my enterprise as well as my main.
How do I keep the menu with the same name in my enterprise yet unload the one of the same name in my main (where it shouldn’t be) using lisp (I want to Automate this using lisp, since I'm not always in office at the same time as everyone else)?
I am looking for code that will delete all the properties within a DWG file.
Searching the forum, I found the following
; Remove any existing Properties
(dictremove (namedobjdict) "DWGPROPS")
However, further research (forum, testing and help system) indicates that it no longer applies to current releases of AutoCAD so my initial happiness was short-lived!
The 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
(vla-get-Name block)
(if (= 0 (vla-get-count block))
(setq nullblocks (cons (vla-get-name block) nullblocks))
)
)
nullblocks
)
I would like to use a lisp routine to open all the files in a selected folder, search for a blocks by name, delete them, purge the drawing, save and close.
Is there a routing that can be used to do this?
I am trying to create a lisp routine, that will check the dimension style "standard" to see if its annotative. If it is, I need it to turn annotative to off.

Is there a way for me to change a layers plot style from one to another with LISP?
We use named plot styles, STB's not CTB's.
I want to be able to create an icon that will change all layers with the plotstyle "normal" to "black". Is this possible with lisp?
I am trying to create a lisp to delete all the empty layouts from mydrawings. I do not see any code to control this.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a company .cuix menu that is loaded as a partial menu to the main acad.cuix file. I want to delete all the toolbars and pull down menus associated with it and leave the other stuff in place. This is in Autocad 2011 but should also translate to 2013. So far, I have tried opening the CUI menu, going to the company.cuix partial menu and deleting the toolbars. Then I hit save, then Apply. Toolbars disappear and pulldown menus go away. But when I reload AutoCAD they come back.
