AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Different DWG Version Icons In Windows Explorer
May 23, 2013
Back in the day, there was an application that showed the drawing version # in the icon in windows explorer. That was good for then, because of the lack of object data in many of the vertices. The link I have isn't valid anymore and it didn't work in Win7.
What I'd like to have is something that will show the different Acad versions related to the icon using the product ID, for example:
ACAD-5xxx = 2007
ACAD-6xxx = 2008
ACAD-7xxx = 2009
ACAD-8xxx = 2010
ACAD-9xxx = 2011
then in 2012 they changed to Axxx
2013 = Bxxx (???) I dont' have 2013 loaded
2014 = Dxxx (what happened to Cxxx?)
With the lack of backward compatibility between versions for objects (and I totally get that), it would be nice to be able to tell by an icon which version was used to create the drawing. I know the version information is stored in the header, which can be read, I'm just not a programmer.

Goal: using the native windows explorer, Open the folder containing the the multitude of drawings from different vendors and customers, usually 30 -40 .dwg files.
Highlight all the files, Right click print.behind the scenes without any further clicking or involvement from the user autocad plots the extents of model space of all the drawings to a designated plotter fit to 11x17 sheets.

Before I get to my problem, let me give you a brief description of our environment. I recently created a custom GUI for my company that uses mostly macros to insert blocks. This gui is loaded as a partial into the machine.
Now, personally I don't like going back and forth between 3 tabs all day long, and I can get the bulk of the panels/tools I use (whether they were from ACAD or my own partial CUI) all into tab. I create the new tab, and drag and drop any panels I want from ACAD & the partial into this new tab. Then I customize my workspace and add the tab. I have a problem though with some of the icons from my partial coming in blurry, and I can't seem to fix it.
I've tried everything I can think of. The steps I've tried are:
Going to the CUI, selecting the command (under MEP, not my partial name), deleting the icons for both large & small icons, then re-linking them. Didn't workSame as above, but rather than deleting the icons, I edit the icon, and import the one I want to replace it with. Still doesn't work.Same as above, but tried clicking on the icon directly and selecting import. I've attached 2 pictures.
I'm using a 22" monitor, and have more horizontal room and no tabs are being collapsed.
I added another attachment to show the Lutron wires from the partial. This attachment is "partial icons2"

I have some my own Icons on my Toolbar in Autocad that prepared by myself,
I can define tooltip for those icons by "Description" property of icons in CUI.
but the limitation is: I will have just single-line and simple tooltips!
so, how can I define multi-line tooltips for my own icons? or even graphical tooltip?!
should I use "Zammel" language?

I have the following path declared for a R2007 workstation:
(setq rr (strcat "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R17.0\ACAD-5001:409\Profiles\" (getvar 'CPROFILE)))
How can I extract this path without manually declaring it?
Something like:
(VL-Get-Registry-Path-Prefix (getvar 'CPROFILE))
Which will result in the following statement:
(setq rr (strcat (VL-Get-Registry-Path-Prefix (getvar 'CPROFILE)) (getvar 'CPROFILE)))

I need to plot in a file some windows from a LISP, like (command "-plot"...
The windows are defined in a list of points like (((0 0 0)(10 10 0))...) defining lower-left and upper-right corners. Each .plt file must be saved with a different name.
Is it possible from AutoLISP in 2000?

How to view psp images in Windows Explorer (I have Windows 7 - 64 bit)? When I am in PSP X3 I open my files by going to "file" then "open". I get the standard psp icon instead of the actual pic view. PSD and PNG files show up, PSP images do not.
I do not like using the pic display at the bottom of my screen. I want the largest workspace possible.

cannot find a way to create a pdf and saving it into a desktop. Basically, in the -plot command, there should be an option to allow it to save to C:documents and settings"username"desktopfilename.pdf"
See the command line used:
(COMMAND "-PLOT" "Y" "" "DWG to PDF.pc3" "30 x 42" "Inches" "Landscape" "No" "Extents" "1=1" "CENTER" "Yes" "Fullsize.ctb" "yes" "No" "No" "No" "C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Desktop\Filename.pdf" "N" "Y")
The objective is to allow the lisp to plug in whichever username and automatically creating a pdf based on the filename.

If 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:
(load "loginname")
but that doesn't work because the 'load' command seems to want an explicit name, not a variable name.

Is there a lisp that will allow me to do a continuous dimension, but will alternate the dimension position from low, high, low and high? If there is no lisp already created, how to create one?
See Continuous dimension attachment for example.
I work at a glass and glazing company and this is how we dimension mullion width and DLO. See typical window dimensioning attachment for window elevation with dimensions.

Is there a way to programatically set a visual style before a drawing actually opens?
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.
I found a lisp with a function that looked to set viewport visual styles. But it does not seem to be supported anymore. --> (vla-put-VisualStyle vport 1)

Is it possible to execute a certain command based on multiple selections withinin a dcl? for example: two radio colums, one with selections A and B, and a second with selections 1 and 2. is it possible to program commands based on user selections from each column? ex: if A and 1- do a command. A 2- do a different command, etc...
I tried :
(action_tile "key1" "(setq A t")
(action_tile "key2" "(setq B t")
(action_tile "key3" "(setq 1 t)(done_dialog)")
(action_tile "key4" "(setq 2 t)(done_dialog)")
(if
(and (a) (1)
)
(command ...
but was unsuccessful. no matter which combination was selected, the command under all combinations would run.

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.

I'm trying to find acceptable point values to feed to the vlax-3d-point function for a vla-addmtext function. With vanilla lisp I just provide the point as x y = "7/32" "2-3/8". So I assumed that I could drop a 0 in for the z like: (VLAX-3D-POINT "7/32" "2-3/8" 0).
Then I thought I was going to be tricksy and try (vlax-3D-point (getpoint)) believing that I could pick the point and get what I need to feed the function, but yet again, no deal. The command line gave me:
node
of #<variant 8197 ...>
Nothing I can use in my code. So how do I find the point in a format that vlax-3d-point will like?

I use Spell Check regularly and I always check the entire drawing. I would like to add to the Spell macro so that when I pick Spell from the toolbar it goes past the Check Spelling window and begins checking the entire drawing.
I believe I need to insert Alt S into my macro to select Start from the window to begin the check. Is there a character or series of characters that will represent Alt in a macro?

I upgraded from Autocad 2004 to 2012 recently and my lisp file doesnt work anymore.
what it's supposed to do is when looking at the layout tab that you want you can switch to the model space location of the same zoom as the layout tab without messing with the layout zoom.
(defun c:msp ()
(setq cm (getvar "cmdecho"))
(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(command"view" "d" "tmp")
(setvar "tilemode" 0)
(command"pspace")
(princ "Click TWICE on desired VPORT: ")
(command "mspace" pause "view" "s" "tmp")(princ)
(setvar "tilemode" 1)
(command "view" "r" "tmp")
(setvar"cmdecho" cm)
