AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Editing Multi Leader Text Insertion Point
Nov 16, 2012
Is there a way to modify the text insertion point of multileaders using lisp? We have a problem with some of our multileaders getting a landing distance set to a negative value. My lisp routine will correct these to a default value, but then the text jumps a bit. If I could get the insertion point prior to changing the landing distance then I could restore that point after changing the landing distance.

How do I change the insertion point of a text using "vla-put" ? I've tried using :
(vla-put-InsertionPoint en a)) with a = (4455.94 428.576 0.0)
and I get the following error:
lisp value has no coercion to VARIANT with this type: (4455.94 428.576 0.0)

How can I find a block with a specific name and get what the coordinates are? What we have is our Bill of Material is attributed blocks. I am attempting to change the first one. Well all of the lines that list the parts are seperate blocks with the same name. Now the Top Line of the Bill of Material is a different named block. If I can find the coordinates of this block I can then select the first line to do what I need to.
If needed: AutoCAD 2013 User using Visual LISP for editing LISP and DCL files Also I have AutoCAD 2011 currently still available for us, but we are using AutoCAD 2013 for 99.9% of AutoCAD use

I have insert blocks in my dwg. It is the circle. While creating the block, i was just pick the point into the circle not exactly at the centre.
Now i want change the insertion point of the block at centre of the circle without moving the objects from the dwg.
Beacuse i had use block editor to change the insertion point. But after changing, all blocks were moved from the original position.

We have several AutoCAD drawings with hundreds of block references inserted with imprecise coordinates. Now we need to dimension all elements and need to correct these positions.
I am searching for a routine to round these positions up or down towards a 5mm precision so I don't have to manually move every single block element.
Is there any way to automate the task or do you know any workaround (like inserting the elements into a drawing with poorer unit precision settings)?

I've have code to test if the insertion point is within a closed polygon. But prior to testing the insertion point I use ssget to trim the selection set initially..
(ssget "CW" Pnt_List (list (cons 0 "INSERT")(cons 2 BlockName)))
this requires that the whole Crossing Polygon is visible, so I do a zoom first. This requires time. Is there a way I can do this that does not require the zoom?

We have been modifying a trim-around-block routine to have as few clicks as possible and though it feels like we'd be able to have the line to be broken auto-selected based off of the insertionpoint that was set as a variable.
;(setq pnt1 (getvar "lastpoint")
; sst1 (osnap pnt1 "nea")
;end setq
;(setq ss (ssget '((0 . "LWPOLYLINE")))) ; limited to Polylines
; (while (> (sslength ss) 0) ; as long as there's anything in [or remaining in] the selection set))
; (setq ent (ssname ss 0)
; paramcount 1
; ) ; first entity in [or remaining in] the selection set paramcount 1); end setq
are about the closest snippets of code that we've managed to find but neither of these are working.
How we can force the program to break the line without the user having to select the line (because they will have already selected the insertpoint, and using osnap nearest would find the line that requires breaking)

I have a drawing with various layouts that when I do a Zoom Extents the drawings is reduced to the size of a point.
I have done all the usual, ie: look for extra entities that are "out in space" so to speak and there are none.
I wonder if I have a block or image which may have an insertion point "out in space" and if this may be the issue.
Is there some way to Select all entities or Blocks (insertion point) that may exist outside a particular area ie: drawing limits.

I am able to insert multi line text into the Drawing Properties Summaryinfo standard field "comments" by using string concatenation in VBA by using "mytext" & vbLF & vbCR "mytext".
But I can't find a way that works in autolisp. This code does not work.
(defun c:FillComments (/) (vl-load-com) (setq acadObj (vlax-get-acad-object)) (setq acDoc (vlax-get-property acadObj 'ActiveDocument)) (setq acDocSumInfo (vlax-get-property acDoc 'SummaryInfo)) (setq *customer* "MyCustomerName") (setq *location* "MyLocation") (setq *project* "MyProject") (setq*comments* (strcat *customer* ", " (chr 10) (chr 13) *location* ", " (chr 10) (chr 13) *project* ) ;_ end of strcat ) ;_ end of setq (vlax-put-property acDocSumInfo "Comments" *comments*) (princ)) ;_ end of defun
The text comes in but all on one line.

I required a lisp for sorting Multiline text in alphabetic order. (Ascending and Descending)
For example in my drawing it contains lot of Mtexts having multi rows. I need to sort texts inside Mtext. Like PDC-012, DAG-012, AAG-096. I need that Mtext should be AAG-096,DAG-012,PDC-012.

would like to set a base point during insertion of one block.When not insert by AutoLISP, just type "b" to be able to change the base point.
But when I'm using an AutoLISP that inserts a block, it does not work, it interrupts the sequence of routine.
Lisp:
(defun c:carrobox()(setq #clayer (getvar "clayer")) (if (= unidades nil)(setq unidades "cm")).....

i found this valuable script Lisp routine to insert blocks at point locations and want to modify it but i do not know much about lisp ...
what i want is :
1) script start and asks for a Block Name (in this case QPP1, QPP2, QS, QE, ect)
2) the user picks existing text
3) the script reads the value existing on this text an put it in a variable
4) then erases the pre picked text
5) inserts the block chosen
6) changes block value to number value pre-read
since it do almost all steps except for step 3 and 6

Sometimes I have MLeader text without Mleaders (ie, I remove the leader arm using MLEADEREDIT). Then when I go to edit this 'floating note', the base point moves:
In this screenshot, I've just finished editing the text. Note that I added in the diagonal line at the current insertion point of the Mleader text (top right):
Then, after I click outside the Mleader box, the text moves:
THis happens only with right-aligned MLeaders, and keeps happening, ie if I edit this text again and close it again, it will move again.

I am looking for some code that would allow me to select a MTEXT Entity - or other entity - (as the DEFAULT option) but also to allow me to type in some text manually or to pick a point in the drawing. Something that would present the user with:
"Select an object or [P to pick a point]" or
"Select MTEXT or [M to type].
I can write some code to type in text manually as the default option and get the second option to select entity using get string and then write some condition of if code but I don't know how to do it having entsel as default option.

I need a function that accepts a block name as an argument and will insert the named block without fail no matter if the block was made to scale uniformly or not.
How can I determine if the block should be inserted like:
(command "-INSERT" blkn "0,0" 1 0)
or:
(command "-INSERT" blkn "0,0" 1 1 0)

wondering if is possible to have a lisp routine to:After use the INSERT command, the routine will automatically change the layer of the inserted block to a specific layer according of its name.
i.e.
Step 1 : I will insert a block named Block A using the normal autocad INSERT command (I do not want to insert the block without the Insert window dialog box)
Step 2 : After the insertion, the routine will select the last insertion (or the last object, or any other best way to select this block and will take it's name)
Step 3 : The routine has a list that says:
(If the last insertion (or object) is named Block A, put it in the layer Layer A with color Bylayer and linetype Bylayer)
(If the last insertion (or object) is named Block B, put it in the layer Layer B with color Bylayer and linetype Bylayer)
and so on... I can make the approprieated list by myself folowing my standards.
I think it will be nice to avoid an error if the block is not in the list. So:
(If the last insertion (or object) name is not in the list, do nothing)
To finish, it will be nice to create the layer if it does not exist. Also, Unlock, Thaw and Turn on the layer if it's Locked, Frozen or Off.

I've managed to retrieve the important points of a leader with the following
(setq edata (entget (entlast)))
(setq leader? (cdr (assoc 0 edata)))
(cond
((= leader? "LEADER")())
(T(setq edata (cdr (entget (car (entsel "
Pick a leader: "))))))
)
[code].....
What I'd like to do is add a horizontal segment of a known length to the leader, obviously based on the last point. I have to assume that the user is in the appropriate UCS for this, but I can trouble shoot for that later.
subst old list iwth a new list and apply it to the entity somehow?

What am I going to do?
1. I want to have default leader arrow - "closed filled".
2. In lisp routine from "code 1" I want to put leader (actualy leader without text) with arrow "dotSmall".
3. When I press [Esc] during drawing leader I want to set up back default leader head as "closed filled".
Why my routine doesn't work properly?

I am looking to modify a block count lisp, the lisp counts the blocks and displays them in the command line. I am looking to take that list and insert it in to a leader.
So it will prompt me to select blocks.
1st Point of leader
2nd point of leader
and would generate the block list in the leader annotation.

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 want to entmake a block with a multiline attribute. Entmaking the block definition works fine, but what do I code for the Multiline Attribute? Should it be coded (0 . "MTEXT") instead of (0 . "ATTRIB")? I know (101 . "Embedded Object") does not work. What other codes need to be included?
