AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Don't Auto Open Or Close Dialogs
May 30, 2013
Is there a way Autocad could just do what I asked for, and nothing more?A few examples
- After publishing, the publish dialog auto closes. I don't wat that. After publishing dwf I also want pdf.(I know you can save the list, that's not the point. If you didn't close the dialog I wouldn't need it)
- When selecting a hatch, the ribbon automatically jumps to Hatch Editor. I don't want that. Maybe I just want to change the layer. I can find the Hatch editor my self..Dito for XREFS
- I do not want any dialog giving me warnings, about anything.
If an XREF doesn't get attached, I can see that. I don't need a dialog telling me.If a shape file is missing, I can see that..A triangle sign above the command line is totaly adequate.Don't auto open or close dialogs, for what ever reason.
So ... don't auto do anything I can perfectly do manualy. No doubt there are a few more examples I can't think of right now.The nice thing would be to get a variable that gives me that "no auto" mode.

I am using 2011 Civil 3D and there is a bug I am trying to get a workaround for. If your drawing is not closed with layer 0 being the current layer several different civil 3D entities assume the color of the current layer of xref'd drawings.
From my reading it appears I need a reactor to thaw layer 0 and make it current before close or exit commands. I am not a programmer and have struggled making this work.

I have this code w/ which I can open up Block Library Blocks for editing. We have R2012 installed w/out VBA.Our MIS department is impossible to deal with. We have this new fangled permission hysteria so I cannot install VBA myself.Is there any other way to open up my blocks? What I can I do instead?
(defun CpL () (prompt "...Open Library Block or Xref...")(terpri)
(setq a (entsel)) (setq b (car a )) (setq c (entget b)) (setq d (assoc 2 c))
(setq e (cdr d)) (setq ff (strcat e ".dwg")) (setq PP (findfile FF))
(setq opath (strcat "acadapplication.documents.open ""PP"""))
(command "vbastmt" opath))

I need to use visual lisp to set the workbook if it is already open. What is the syntax for this?
I got the ExcelApp already set as well as the FilePath.
If the workbook is not open then this works
(setq WorkBook (vl-catch-all-apply 'vla-open (list (vlax-get-property ExcelApp "WorkBooks") FilePath)))
I want to be able to see if the workbook is already open and if so set it otherwise open it.

can you start autocad with no drawing open ?
i would think that some type of script would work or could you change your target on a shortcut?

Is it possible to open a dwg, change something and then plot a layout with visual lisp. This is my start. Opening is working, but plotting not. I have to switch between drawings before the function is going on. Sometimes it's plotting an empty sheet and otherwise an error: ERROR: Automation Error. Description was not provided.
(defun plotbatch ()(vl-load-com)(setvar "sdi" 0);; open file(setq acadobject (vlax-get-acad-object))(setq documents (vla-get-documents acadobject))(setq open (vla-open documents "U:\testfile.dwg" :vlax-false));; changing something;; plot layout(setq plot (vla-get-plot open))(vla-put-NumberOfCopies plot 1)(setq layouts (vla-get-layouts open))(vlax-for each layouts (if (= (setq name (vla-get-name each)) "TestLayout") (progn (setq salayout (vlax-make-safearray vlax-vbString (cons 0 0))) (vlax-safearray-put-element salayout 0 name) (vla-setlayoutstoplot plot salayout) (setq errmsg (vl-catch-all-apply 'vla-PlotToDevice (list plot "\\RW-PRN01\RICOH"))) (if (vl-catch-all-error-p errmsg) (prompt (strcat "ERROR: " (vl-catch-all-error-message errmsg))) ) ) ));; close file(vla-close open :vlax-false)(princ))

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 have a small number of drawings that I use very often. I would like to make a menu item to open a certain drawing but I keep getting stuck when the drawing name should be entered automatically.I use the code
^C^Cfiledia;0;open;"test.dwg";filedia;1;
The drawing is my support file search path and the name is unique. How do I get this to work properly?When running this command:
Command: filedia
Enter new value for FILEDIA <1>: 0
Command: open
Enter name of drawing to open <C:previous.dwg>:
*cancel*
Command: "test.dwg"
Unknown command ""TEST.DWG"". Press F1 for help.
Command: filedia
Enter new value for FILEDIA <0>: 1
It asks what file to open and suggests the last opened file, and whatever I tried so far this keeps happening.
*.scr files are not allowed on our network, I can't create or rename files to *.scr. Of course I could ask the admins to allow this but I think our security policy is more important than me having a button to open a file.

We have stored lisp in fileserver which 30 users can access it. Now a day some users have getting the ‘failed to open project’ error after load the Lisp due to this they r also not getting most of the commands. The full rights have been given to appropriate folder which contains (Autolisp application source file, .vlx, Autocad VBA source). It has working for limited users (8-10 users).
Server OS: Windows server 2008
Note: Previously we had used windows server 2003.

I've tried doing a block that automatically updates the X and Y coordinates from its moveable leader. I can get it to work in model space or paper space. But my problem is I want it to work in PS, but update with the MS coordinates through the viewport.
I can get it to update, by LISP, by picking a point and passing the points to the blocks attributes. At the moment I have a LISP when actioned it locks the viewports, activates the viewport, and asks you to select a point. Once selected it de-activates the viewport (going back into layout tab) then asks which block you want to update. Where you now select the block and it updates the coordinates. I.e. manually pick the point in MS, switch to PS and then manually pick the block. Then I have to manually modify the leader to the correct location.
I'm hoping that I can (In PS) move the end of the leader to snap to a position in MS and the coord updates to reflect the correct MS coordinates. I'm thinking that maybe this can't be done automatically and that I maybe can move the leader but I'm not sure how I can do it without running a LISP to update the block?
I'd be happy moving the leader then just running a single command and the leader coordinates updating without having to select the points and the block again.
I've attached the block showing the auto update of the attributes (fields).

I am looking for a way to force all DWG files created with previous versions of AutoCAD to automatically open "Read Only". For example, using Civil 3D 2011, I open a file that is a 2007 format DWG. I want this file to automatically open read only, and inform the user that it has opened read only.
I'm hoping that this is possible, since opening a 2007 format DWG in a newer AutoCAD already tells you that it's an older format in the command line, and files can already be opened as read only.

Is this something that is possible? Basically I have an excel file with sample data that comes coded (red background for fail, Green for pass) Then we transfer that into halos on a DWG. got a routine to count the halos in a DWG. Now I was thinking it would be nice if it compared the number to the excel file to make sure no mistakes were made when placing the halos.
So as I mentioned I've seen rountines to read data in cells but none to count cells based on colour.

I have used Autocad since 1991, and my current job required me to use Microstation. One feature I liked from Microstaiton is the ability to select and open an external DGN reference, and then match the view of the parent DGN. In AutoCAD, you can also select and open an xref, but the DWG opens to the previous saved view, and not to the desired view that matches the layout.
My thought was to experienting with lisp or scipt and export the "Viewctr", "Viewtwist" and "Viewsize" variables to a text file, then importing the text file and using the "Viewtwist" as my "SNAPANG" value, then "Viewctr" as my "ZOOM, CENTER" value, and finally the "Viewsize" as the "Enter magnification or height:" value.
But, alas, have no time, and not quite the knowledge to duplicate MicroStation's open-xref-and-zoom-to-view feature.

I am trying to make a script file to open a drawing and run a lisp routine. They both work independently just fine, the script file will open the all of the files fine... and the lisp is in the startup suite and works in all the files. But when I tell the script file to open the first drawing then run the lisp it hangs trying to open the next file after running the lisp. I have Filedia set to 0, but the message I get when it goes to open the next is "No canvas exists. click New Canvas." (And on top of that... Filedia even set back to 1 still does not display the Dialog box anymore, I have to shut down AutoCAD 2012 and start again then it works.) I Have tried several ways, Opening one at a time then run lisp, and open all files first and then try to run lisp (that closes the file after running) and try and run it again in the next... It will only run the lisp one time and then locks up from there.
