AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Line Length To Dimension Override?
Sep 23, 2011My goal is to be able to select a line and a dimension and then have the line's length appear as the text override for the dimension. I have the code to substitute the variable "dist" for the dimension text:
(setq dimselected (entsel "
Select Dimension:"))
(setq newlength dist)
(command "dimedit" "n" newlength dimselected "")
but am having problems extracting the line's length to the variable and setting setting it equal to the variable. To make things more interesting, the value needs to be in inches with fractional inches accurate to 1/16".
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Creating Stacked Fractions For Dimension Override

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Double-Click Attributes To Edit With ATTIPEDIT
Dec 5, 2011Any way to customize the double-click of a block attribute to run the _ATTIPEDIT command on the targeted attribute? I know this can be achieved by holding Ctrl & then double clicking, but I am often using my hand else where on the keyboard, or even more often, when entering many values into attributes, I am using my left hand to keep my place on a sheet of paper as I scroll down it and enter in the values.

Mar 19, 2012Any way to override existing AutoCAD commands.
Lets try this. When a user types "line" at the command prompt, or hits the "line" button on the toolbar, or chooses "line" from the draw pulldown menu, is there any way I can re-write what line means and draw a circle? (Extreme example)
There are just some commands that I'd like to have a variable set in the background, depending on what the command is. So I'm thinking if I could re-write the "line" command, instead of trying to convince everyone to use and remember a custom command, it would be much more efficient. There are lisp files already loaded in their start-up suite. Not sure if that works.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Continuous Dimension Lisp That Alternate Its Position

Aug 6, 2013I have this interresting problem, it occured just here, in other situations, the script works fine.
I am counting length from coordinates:
Command: (setq bod1 ppo_bod1)(-0.821965 -1.7232 0.0)Command: (setq bod2 ppo_bod2)(25.428 13.1268 0.0)Command: !mfac0.025Command: (setq x (atoi (rtos(/ (abs (- (car bod2) (car bod1))) mfac))))1050Command: (setq y (atoi (rtos(/ (abs (- (cadr bod2) (cadr bod1))) mfac))))593Command: (- (cadr bod2) (cadr bod1))14.85Command: (/ (abs (- (cadr bod2) (cadr bod1))) mfac)594.0Command: (rtos(/ (abs (- (cadr bod2) (cadr bod1))) mfac))"593.99999998"Command: (atoi (rtos(/ (abs (- (cadr bod2) (cadr bod1))) mfac)))593
As you can see, the conversion from 594.0 (real) to string causes an inaccuracy, which is strange, because the length really is 594.0
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Convert Polylines Into Double Lines With Hatch
Feb 10, 2012I need a function that allows to convert the polylines selected with a width globalize defined in a double closed line (spaced by the same width of the polyline), with a hatch inserted automatically defined.
Brilliant idea to draw raceways quickly: instead of making handmade double lines, connect, enter the hatches all by hand, you could quickly draw the polyline with width identical to the size of the duct, and then the lisp transform it into a duct more aesthetically pleasing if compared to the full polyline!
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Double Clicking To Edit Text In Paperspace
Oct 9, 2013I've trying to track down a solution for an issue that we are experiencing. When some of our lisp programs get run, you can no longer double click on text to edit it in paper space. If I put text in model space, I am able to double click to edit it. Is there a variable for this?
I just verified something else, if I move the text to be outside of the View Port, I can double click to edit the text. If I try to double click to edit while inside the viewport then it switchs to model space withing the viewport.

Jan 9, 2014I have double line pipe drawings but i have to change distances between of this lines in entire drawing and i was thinking that maybe there is a lisp code which can create new double line according to my specify dimensions ...
example :
Distance between lines : 100 mm
------------------------
------------------------
here is what i want to do :
1. select double line
2. specify new distance ( for example 200 mm)
3. lisp will create center line middle of the selected lines ( maybe it can ask me that this center line will be permanently or not )
4. lisp will create new double line from this centerline according to my specific distance
5. new double line layers will be the same with selected old double line
and this lisp has to work for double arc or quarter circles too.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To GETPOINT Via Mouse Click Only
Dec 22, 2011I am trying to limit the input that can be processed when using the getpoint lisp function. So the code below prevents the user from entering null input (i.e just hitting a carraige return) as specified by the initget bit code of 1, or a non-numeric entry (i.e. for instance, typing S and hitting a carriage return) as the getpoint function does not allow for a non-numeric entry.
(initget 1)
(setq PT1 (getpoint "
Pick Location of First Point: "))
However, the issue is that the code does NOT prevent the user from entering a number and hitting return. For instance, if I enter the number 100 and hit return, getpoint accepts this as a valid entry and returns a point value that is projected, in some form or fashion, from I believe the last entered point or (0,0,0) if a point was not previously entered. I only want the user to be able to select a point with a mouse click and not type in a number or point coordinate.
So is there some way with AutoLISP or Visual Lisp that you can prevent the user from typing in a numeric value and hitting a carraige return in conjuction with the getpoint function? Or is there some other function that will provide the getpoint functionality while providing the entry limitations described?

Oct 20, 2011As a consultant we grey out architectural backgrounds for our sheets. We use the SetByLayer command to change the color of the objects in our sheets to gery out. The issue is with dimsensions. Dimension Line Color, Extension Line Color, and Text Color are all set at By Block as default and no one ever bothers to change it unless they are setting it to a specific color which is even more of a problem for us. You can edit the properties of an existing dimension and set Dim Line Color, Ext Line Color, and Text Color to by layer, I am looking for a way to automate this. Something that can search through a drawing, grab all the dimensions (even in blocks) and set everything by layer.

Aug 16, 2012I'm dimensioning an old drawing with the real (measured) dimensions and with the drawing dimensions in brackets (using ' 1500 (<>)' to give '1500 (1505)' for example.
What I'd like is to also be able to put on the difference between the length I type in and the length in brackets - as this would let me see any really glaring errors that can't be attributed to user-error on the laser measure.So I could type in '1500 (<>) (X)' where X is the formula, and get ' 1500 (1505) (5)' back?
How to be able to run a script that could highlight any dimensions where the number is brackets and the typed number have a a difference of, say, 50.Or failing that, any way to extract all the dimension text at the end into excel so I can see the differences myself?
