I'm looking for a lisp routine that i can globally change the text height and width factor of a particular block attribute. The name of the attribute tag is "TAG". I would like to be able to select all the blocks that i need to edit and then specify what text height and width factor i want to change to.

select all blocks on certain layers in a drawing, check attribute CIRCUIT in each block if it starts with MS then attribute CONTROL = switched. I hope thats clear enough the way

I wanna transfer my attribute block values to another attribute text blocks , is there any lisp for that?
Is there a possibility for sum tag values of choice attribute blocks to inside of another attribute text block ?
I need to match few attribute values from one block to different block. I download a lisp file called; ca.lsp which can match the single attribute value. I modified it for more than one attribute value matching. It is ok but still wish to overcome two issues for batch prcess
1. picking up the blocks by selection
2. click the alternative block numbers of times to match the numbers of attribute values I needed.
How to modify this lisp I can run it by block name selections instead of picking selection which enable me to run batch process for numbers of drawing? That will be good...
Lisp & Demo file attached (Match attribute value, A, B & C to Attribute 1, 2 & 3).
I want to edit 1 attribute value in a block to number all my blocks (eg A001, A002, A003...) (example picture attached)
I know about the at tout and at tin but I need a lsp routine that only changes one attribute value without having to double click and go through that.
i attached a lsp routine, how to edit and remove everything except the value part.
I'm having issues with updating an MTEXT attributes value using lisp.
If I insert my block (this is a titleblock) and run my lisp routine the MTEXT attribute updates fine. Once I edit the MTEXT attribute with the MTEXT editor, and then run my lisp routine again, the MTEXT attribute will not update anymore. All the single line (DTEXT) attributes update fine. The lisp routine I created has worked for years...this is the first time I've tried it with an MTEXT attribute.
I continue with my problems.....
I get attribute value from block and put it in a list:
(repeat (setq cnt (sslength sset))
(setq attValue (GetAttributeValue (ssname sset i) "tag1"))
(setq attValue2 (GetAttributeValue (ssname sset i) "tag2"))

When I try to put them in a table...
(foreach item lst
(vla-setText mytable
row 0
(last item)
)
(setq row (1+ row))

only put one ( attValue2) at column, and i like put 2 values, each one in a column in the same row

The title block, block name is static. The attribute name is static.
My ultimate goal is to copy the value of one attribute and "paste" that into the value of another attribute, and itterate this through the entire project.
I'm looking for a lisp routine that will globally list all the values from a specific attribute tag within a specific block. The attribute tag is "COMMENT" and the block name is "FSD".
View 9 Replies View RelatedI can't find my notes on how I fixed it. When we insert our title block, it automatically inserts the drawing number. For one user, it doesn't work. The title block inserts, but it won't put in the drawing number. I seem to remember I need to change a setting or something to get it to work, but I can't remember what it is.

I would like to select all instances of a block, and put a new block on top of them using the same properties (insertion, rotation) but am unsure how to do this
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to be able to batch process a bunch of title block attributes automatically.
Block Name: Title Block
Tag Name: SH
Currently they come out with just the number 1, 2 , 3 etc I need to add a leading zero ie 01, 02, 03 etc
All the scripts I have will just replace the number with another
I just want to append the zero infront of the existing number
ie the code will need to read the existing number and decide if its less than 10. if it is less than 10, then the code just needs to append the leading 0. if its 10 or over, then do nothing.
Here's my situation:
I have a block named "WIDGET-A". And in that block are (4) attribute tags whose names are:
"ID"
"TAG01"
"TAG02"
"TAG03"
The user will be prompted to pick the value displayed at any of the "TAG##" attributes - they will select the attribute tag they want (we don't know which one it is, we just want to assign that value of the attribute tag they clicked on to a variable called "VAR2".
Now, what we also want AutoCAD to evaluate, behind the scenes, is the value of the attribute tag named "ID" which we know always exists in the block and then assign that value to a variable called "VAR1".
Is there a way for AutoCAD to do this all from only a single user pick on top of an attribute value, in a block whose name isn't always going to be 'WIDGET-A' either.... But the block, whatever it's name, will always have the attribute tag "ID" with a value in it, and we always want to capture the value of whatever attribute tag within the block that the user clicked on.
I have a lot of attribute blocks in my drawing which i want to move them one by one
so , here is what i want to do :
I have numbers (or texts) in my work area and this numbers also exist in my attribute blocks .. i wanna move my attribute blocks with tag name value reference to my specify area if tag name values are matching with text or numbers in this area .. every block will check my selected tag string and will be move on matching text in my work area.
I would like to create a lisp that does the following:
Update a titleblock attribute with a $variable.
The titleblockname is variable / not static.
The attribute is not variable / Static, DW_SCALE
The titleblock is always places on the same layer, BL$4----
The (custom)-plotscale is stored in the $var "gvpsc".
I've tried to ajust the following lisp code. But I couldn't extract the part I need.
The problem is, the code checks all the layouts and updates all the titlblocks one by one.

Is there a way (or a “trick”) to have one attribute at two different locations inside of one block (I want to avoid filling in the same text twice when this block is inserted or edited)?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI need a lisp sub-function that can empty all attributes of a specified dynamic block. The idea being that the specified block contains data that changes often and in order to repopulate the block's attributes with new data to replace the old I wish to just blank out the old data first, because it's possible that the new data may not utilize as many attributes and all of the old data must be removed.
The thing is the block I'm after is on several layouts, CTABs and they all need to be wiped clean.
I have a series of blocks that I need to insert into a drawing, maybe 100-200 times and then change one of the 6 attributes by an increment of 1.
I've looked at some of the older posts and have not been able to do this. Is it possible to take the tag regerence, in this case OUTLET_REF and automatically add 1 to it when the symbol is inserted.
Can this be done using Diesel or with a bit of lisp?

I'm trying to find a routine that will look for ABC block and updates its NUM attributes depending on what's shown in the DESC attribute. There are about 5 of these ABC blocks in a drawing. Block ABC has 2 sets of attributes: DESC and NUM.
When run, it will look at the value of tag DESC, if it contains value XXX, then it will change the NUM value to 1111. And if DESC contains value YYY, then it will change the NUM value to 2222.

I wanna change my block name to attribute text value, any similar lisp code?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a simple hexagon block with one attribute, i need to be able to copy it and as i do it increases the number by one.
the Block name is note1-2006 the attribute name is NOTENUM. I have tried using some other Lisps but i cant ge them to work. Sometimes i have to put 40 of these on a sketch i hate copying and changing the attribute by one everytime. so it would be nice to copy and as i pick mutliple spots it increase number. Dont know if there is a way to ask user to keep same number or increase. This would save me so much time.
I am trying to create a lisp that prompts you to select multiple lines, and then prompts to enter a name of a block you wish to use. With that information use the measure command to place the entered block along the selected lines with the spacing set to the value in the blocks attribute.
I have a lisp that does most of this with the exception of the extracting the value of the block size to use as the distance between blocks, the current lisp just prompts for the distance.
I have a lot of blocks with different spacing so it is hard to remember the distance.
Here is the current Lisp i use:

I'm using Autocrat 2004.
I have a attributed titleblock. Sometime in the future I will need to change the date attribute to another value, i.e.. 7-11 to 9-11.
I can't place a text string in the title block because this title block is used for multiple drawings and the date will be different for different sets. I can't have numerous title blocks because of the client's requirements.
Question:
Is there a way to write a script to open a drawing, look for the specific attribute, change the date value, save and close the drawing - across multiple sheets? Would a lisp routine called by the script be able to do this? Or a script file called by the original script file? CAn you even use a script file in this manner?
I have a block with:
tag1: XX
tag2: YYYYYY
tag3: ZZZZZZZZ

I am working on a large project where a 3rd Party firm has turned over 100s of drawings that we need to get into our system. The problem is that they did not name their physical files properly. We have a particular numbering system for our drawings, the engineering firm did fill in our attributed title block properly and used our numbering system correctly within the drawing. However, their physical file name follows their format. We need to have the physical file name match the information in the title block to get into our system.
Is there a way to "Batch Rename" these files by reaching into the title block and then renaming the physical file to match the attribute?
I have to be honest, I may use AutoCAD 50 to 60 hours per week, but I am no programmer! I am just the go-to person here for AutoCAD whom is stuck trying to come up with a efficient solution for the project team whose engineering firm could not follow our procedures! I was hoping some sort of batch routine could take care of this problem for us instead of us having to individually rename each physical file one by one.
Is that possible to have a lisp to extract the Field Expression of a attribute in a block?Specifically, to extract the property VALUE (TextString) of this attribute.After to extract, I would like to put this text extracted in a different layout tab, in the same drawing. In this way, I will have a text linked to the attribute value between two layout tabs. So, when I have to change the attribute value, the text will be updated automatically.
I know that if I use the FIELD command to manually copy and paste this value it will work, but when I have a lot of attributes it becomes very laborious.
