AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Excel Sheet Column
Aug 13, 2013
I'm trying to get an excel sheet to open and count cells based on the text inside a selected column then compare it to cad. The column says "red" or "green" and I want to compare it to a count of red and green hatches in cad.
I managed to get them to be counted in cad but I'm not sure how to get the excel part to work.
Note: I posted an earlier post thinking to count the actually color in the excel cells rather than the words but that ended up being quite complicated.

I am trying to import a list of customers from column A in an Excel file into a list for a popup_list for my Drawing Properties DCL. I am having trouble finding information on how to do this.
Basically: Load the file, (workbook through active sheet: vlax-get-property)
(setq xlSheets (vlax-get-property xlBook 'WorkSheets) )
Then, how do I get it to put column A properly into a list for the DCL?

I am trying to export each sheet in an Excel file to an separateTXT files.
I currently have code to read each cell in a sheet, but unfortunately some of the Excel sheets have in excess of 5000 cells and it is taking too long to read. So I am switching to another method.
The program will check dates of TXT files and XLS file to make sure TXT files are current (if not, open and recreate TXT files).Then read the TXT files (much faster).
Where I am getting stuck is 2 places -
Get the names of each sheet in the excel file (not always a known name)
Save each sheet as separate TXT file.
Here is condensed code so far without error checking, etc -
(defun E2TXT (FileName /)
(if (and (setq XLfile (findfile FileName)) (vl-file-systime XLfile) (setq XLapp (vlax-get-or-create-object "Excel.Application")))

If I have a CSV file (with no header) that contains three columns and I want to return values of the second column as a list, how is the best method to do that?
I have seen something where one can separate a string into a list by a divider (in my case, the commas between the three columns) but the actual code for me to inspect was supposed to be in an attached ZIP file which I didn't see as part of the post.
An example of my CSV (as a list) wouild be:
("PO-30-10,PIN OAK,88-15" "PO-30-10,PIN OAK,88-01A" "JS-20-5,JUNIPER,63-04" "PP-40-10,POPLAR,38-22")
and I need the resulting list to be:
("PIN OAK" "PIN OAK" JUNIPER" "POPLAR")
Is there a LISP way to do this - or only VLISP?

How to modify the column widths of an ACAD_TABLE?
I have known co-ordinates that I want each grip for the table to be set at. I can't just copy and paste the table from drawing to drawing. Each table of each drawing have different textual values, and the column widths will best be sized for each text value.

Several times, we generate a drawing, and the text widths in the columns vary greatly. Some have text that is ten characters long, and others have thirty-plus characters.
Is there a way to be able to select the table (or perform the command to all tables in the current layout) and have each of the columns expand to the appropriate width, that depends on the longest string of text in that column, for each column. The problem I see, is that some tables have two columns, some have six, and of course other with any number in between. The same is also true for the amount of rows.

I wasn't able to find out any information on what format the parameters are required to look like when passed along with the Method ExportAsFixedFormat.
I'm currently using the following code to change the active printer followed by the printout command
(vlax-put-property XL "ActivePrinter" "DocuCom PDF Driver on Ne03:")(vlax-invoke-method XLS "Printout")
where XL is my spreadsheet and XLS is the active worksheet. This works but the printer controls filename and location.
(vlax-invoke-method XLS "ExportAsFixedFormat"
I've found the ExportAsFixedFormat but can not find any documentation that shows how to format the parameters within LISP to send to Excel.
The object browser for VBA in Excel shows the following:
Sub ExportAsFixedFormat(Type As XlFixedFormatType, [Filename], [Quality], [IncludeDocProperties], [IgnorePrintAreas], [From], [To], [OpenAfterPublish], [FixedFormatExtClassPtr]) Member of Excel.Chart
I recording a macro and got the following that shows some additional information.
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _"C: est.pdf" _, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas _:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True
Is there any documention showing what this looks like when using the vlax-invoke-method?

This probably isn't the correct discussion group but not sure where else to post this.
My sales department wants to be able to create drawings based on entries in selected in their Excel qouting tool. Basically, they want to configure a product in the field, and be able to show the customer the drawing with TrueView. (They don't have AutoCAD installed).
I would think the best I can do, is manipulate a .dxf file based on their selections but that may get very complicated.

In Excel you can give a cell a custom name like "Project_Name".

We have a custom LISP program (Written, upadated in 2003) that takes a keyed in item number, opens and searches a .txt file with four coulmns, for the keyed in item number (column 1) and returns a part number (column 2), description (column 3) and any information in column 4.
Here is the Part of the cod in question:
(setq recx (open "H:/ACAD2012/alcocustm/LISP/hardware.txt" "r"))
(setq d "?")
(setq rec (read-line recx))
[Code]....
A quetsion was asked if the data in the .txt file could be put in an Excel file. I tried looking at other post, but I can't seem to find a clear cut way to open and extract the data. Or this old dog overlooked a boand. Is there a easy way to do this, similar to the above?

I'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?

I want to add the sheet set capability to Autocad 2004. I want to plot groups of drawings. It looks like the sheet set command of autocad 2005 would allow me to do this. But the command isn't available in 2004.

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 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..
