Insert a rectangular frame ( on a frame layer) round the text( which is on a text layer) with an offset whcih will then create a wipeout (on a wipeout layer using colour 255) and place it behind the text and frame layers all in the click of selecting the text.
View 9 Repliesis it possible to make a wipeout but with a polyline that has arcs?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI got a new work and get it done in the next 2 days, but first I need to do this... from a text file (or excel file, I got both) I got 3 columns, 1 one for node number, and 2 other for X and Y coordinates for each node.
So from that file I need to insert into autocad the node numbers as text (using the current style and height) at the point specified by the other two columns, that are the X,Y coordinates which will be the insertion point of text..
How can I draw a wipeout matched with a closed polyline?
in the other word, a lisp program that prompted for a closed polyline and draw a wipeout by selected polyline.
I have a routine that counts dynamic blocks by visibility state and stores that information then prompts for scale and color and stores that information. Then a legend begins to build from the data and a collection of blocks to reflect the dynamic blocks and their visibility state. Everything works great on all of the machines around the office except on one. When the legend begins building, the one user is getting the DDATTE dialog instead of allowing the values to populate as expected. So, I had him change ATTREQ to 0 an run again. No deal, the same thing happens again and again. And; it only occurs on the one machine.

another one would be, say, you have several pdfs in your dwg that represent different aspects of the same space so you select them (they are on top of each other) and it puts them into a dynamic block automatically in different visualization states (maybe labeled 01,02,03 etc.) and you make one of the sheets visible with a drop down button.
i might be able to figure out the later if there is a way to do the former.

I have used Lisp and the insert command to do *blockname to explode the insertion of a block. This sets the explode check mark on the insert dialog. Once I set it on the next insert an explode occurs. I do not find away to turn it off.
Is there some trick to use that will uncheck the explode box. I don't seem to find any system variable. I thought of inserting a dummy block without the asterisk. I thought about trying to do a cancel somehow on insert.
I need a routine that inserts a point at the insert point or block named "Insert_Point" at every block in the file. The routine could use the current layer, which would be set prior to starting the routine. If it could request the user for the PDMode value and PDSize that would be great too. This will assist me in creating block libraries.

I am working on a lisp file that lets you select a block and automaticaly change the layer and color in block editor. Afther this it exits block editor, deletes the original block and places the new one.
It works fine accept for the last part.
When i incert my new name whit the insert command it automaticaly changes the name whit autofil so it wil still pot my originial block (the new block name is only two characters shorter than the old one).

We are using autocad 2010 and I have written a routine that will insert several blocks on to several layers. I thought it worked flawlessly, until I used it. Our drawings use layer states. When one state is in use, all the other layers are frozen. We want to insert a block, at a specific point chosen by the user, and the lisp routine will insert a couple of other blocks at that same point, but on a layer that is frozen. Three blocks installed in all, at the same point, on two layers. The routine works if all layers are thawed, but not if the layers are frozen.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI figured out how to entmake a Block with attributes based on user input for insert point, rotation, etc.
My block is a detail bubble that is a circle with a tail, that cuts the object and shows direction of cut. I will include that with this post.
My problem lies in this. I've used dynamic block features such as linear for the tail length, and the cut length, and angle for the direction of the tail.
My old routine was simple, it would ask for detail point and angle. From that it would insert a block that was just the bubble and draw the tail and cut with a polyline.
Since then I've been able to use entmake, which is a lot more powerful for creating entities in AutoCAD. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to add the dynamic properties of my "new" detail block that has the tail, cut and bubble in one.
what I need in the entmake statement to make this create programmatically instead of inserting the block, then modifying it, if possible.

I am trying to use the command -vports but get an SPPROCESSQUEUE error wghen I use lists such as this:

take a look at this piece of my LISP-routine.
(command "_.block" pause pause ss "")
where:
ss - is a Selection set of some entities
In the rest of code, I don't change the values of initdia, or cmdecho, or whatever else
I haven't sill understood them that well.The problem is the following:
When My routine executes this line, I am promted for:
1. block name - that's OK
2. insertion point - that's OK
3. then the block-command receives correctly the entities from ss-selection set - that's OK
4. then all the object dissapear! **Problem here**
The block is created... I can insert it in the drawing from the block-data base...
But is there a way to let this block stay in the drawing ? without disappearing?

I would like to insert a block in a specific layout (eg. "LAYOUT13") using the function vla-insertblock
I have already searched the web and this newsgroup but have not found the solution.
I am using 2008 and I have a dynamic block with attributes that I want to insert with the below program and have the attritute values filled in automatically. I have done this with other programs in the past and they worked great with literally no problems. They were not dynamic blocks may be the reason this does not work. Why the block will not fill in the attributes like it should. Occasionally in my testing I see a message about "units" when I am inserting the block but I have my insunits set to 0. I have attached one of the blocks I want to use. I am thinking either you cannot do this because it is a dynamic block or there is a new variable that won't let it work.

it's 'Name and 'EffectiveName is equal, when set some of it's properties it turns to dynamic anonymous

I found this routine but It doesn't work really good (see attachment):
1. We can select block instead of typing the name of it (or simply add this option)
2. That the undo command undo the whole lsp routine instead of undoing all single insertion.
3. That we can Hit the escape key at any point in the routine and it stops the routine correctly instead of writing "too many argu" maybe by undoing the insertion or by stopping the routine correctly at this point.
4. I just found that it does not paste the block directly on the points...? Finally this lsp didn't work at all !
I would like to have a lsp that do SIMPLY this:
1 : Ask wich "points" you want to convert (You know these points that you can change the appearrance in the menu format point style, thats what I mean by "points"). And By the way it would be cool if I could choose to convert the points or to paste my block on those without converting them but it is not that important.
2. Select block in the block listing of insert block popup window and paste it by his default insertion point to all the selected points.
