Just recently I have noticed a Major problem occurring with Xdata. My programs that i use XDATA storage in work fine until you save the drawing. When you call the file back up the Xdata is gone the only thing in the xdata is NameSpace value. Is this related somehow to a Windows update?

I use extended data on 2d entity in AutoCAD 2010. In a lisp program, I have filtered with extended data selection. Filters work with entity like: line, polyline and Mline but with insert entity it don’t work.
The end get result for a block :
((-1 . <Nom d'entité: 7ffffbe7d90>) (0 . "INSERT") (330 . <Nom d'entité: 7ffffb039f0>) (5 . "18CA91") (100 . "AcDbEntity") (67 . 0) (410 . "Model") (8 . "Fam_POTEAU_ROND_INSERT_021") (100 . "AcDbBlockReference") (2 . "POTEAU_ROND") (10 155239.0 -100209.0 0.0) (41 . 16.05) (42 . 16.05) (43 . 16.05) (50 . 0.0) (70 . 0) (71 . 0) (44 . 0.0) (45 . 0.0) (210 0.0 0.0 1.0) (-3 ("CREEMET000" (1000 . "Fam021") (1040 . -14.0) (1040 . 434.0) (1071 . 0)) ("CREEMET001" (1071 . 2) (1071 . 3) (1071 . 0)) ("CREEMET014" (1000 . "Poteau rond mixte (a completer)")) ("CREEMET002" (1000 . "_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_-1_-1_-1"))))
The filter list use :
((-4 . "<OR") (2 . "POTEAU_ROND*") (-4 . "OR>") (-3 ("CREEMET002" (1000 . "_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_-1_-1_-1"))))
I was trying to add a point as extended data to a block.
Therefor i used this data but i get an error every time:
(setq lastent (entget (CAR (entsel))))(regapp "list")(setq exdata '((-3("list" (1011 . 3277.82) (1021 . 5782.5) (1031 . 369.5) ) ) ))(setq newent (append lastent exdata))(entmod newent)
I have a specific need to determine if an entity is existing or not so that I can either make changes to or create the entity. I'm trying to do this while referring to the entity by it's handle. Below is my code this far but it doesn't work.
(IF (AND (SETQ HNDL (VLAX-LDATA-GET "TB" (STRCAT PLN "PLAN"))) (NOT (VLAX-ERASED-P (VLAX-ENAME->VLA-OBJECT (HANDENT HNDL)))) ) (PROGN ;;| DO SOMETHING WITH THE EXISTING ENTITY ) (PROGN ;;| MAKE THE ENTITY
(vlax-ldata-put "TB" (strcat PLN "PLAN") (CDR (ASSOC 5 (entget (entlast))))) ))
I ran the program and the handle was stored, then I deleted the entity and ran the code again and this is the error I get:
; error: unable to get ObjectID: nil

how to draw a text entity in 3d, where I know the 3d ins point, and the plane it should be flat to.
I have not drawn text or inserted blocks programatically before where the plane they lie on is not flat.

presuming I have a selection set of different entities, that might have different linewight.
The code that is responsible for this property is 370
370Lineweight enum value. Stored and moved around as a 16-bit integer.not omitted from here
I need to make all of the entities have the same layer, and to make sure the each entity has the "ByLayer" lineweight.
The problem that I encountered, is the lineweight changement.
This is the colution that I came with, but it doesn't work for me:
(defun c:test () (setq en (car (entsel))) (setq el (entget en)) (setq el1 '()) (setq indx -1) (repeat (length el) (setq indx (1+ indx)) (if (/= (nth indx el) (assoc 370 el)) (setq el1 (cons (nth indx el) el1)) ) ) (setq el el1) (entmod el) (princ) )
Having tested it in different ways, it looks like at the end, el1 represents the association list that I want my object to have, but it doesn't want to update.
I need to return the entity name of the largest (longest closed) polyline in a selection set. At this point I have no trouble creating the selection set and even getting the area of the boundingbox, which is not the most accurate way to find the true size, but it's a start. The part that has me stumped is: if I iterate through the selection set, then how can I compare one to the other when I have access to the current entity. I've been staring at examples of lambdas but it seems to me that iterating through the selection set is going about it wrong in the first place.
Below is my current code with a remaining issue. I can return the largest area of the polylines (no good for more than two entities in selection set), but I do not know how to return the entity name:
(IF (> (SETQ SS (SSGET "x" '((0 . "*POLYLINE") (8 . "POOL") (-4 . "<OR") (62 . 5) (62 . 256) (-4 . "OR>")))) 1 ) (PROGN (SETQ a (1- a) ent (CDR (CAR (SSNAME ss a))) en2 (CDR (CAR (SSNAME ss (1- a)))) ar1 (APPLY '* (LIST (LAMBDA (ent) (VLAX-INVOKE-METHOD (VLAX-ENAME->VLA-OBJECT ent) 'getboundingbox 'minpt 'maxpt) (SETQ pt1 [code]......
I have a program that makes 3d polylines from various data. That 3d pline then gets added to a civil 3d surface as a breakline. I want to modify the pline with my program, but preserve the handle, as I think that is what C3D uses to decide if its part of the surface. I tried this as a sample with no luck:
;DELETE 3RD VERTEXT FROM 3D PLINE
(DEFUN C:T3 ( / EN ENAME ENT ENTL)
;GET 3D PLINE
(SETQ ENT (ENTSEL "

I know you can modify a vertex, but what about add and delete with entmake and entmod? I also considered using activex for this task, but you can only add verticies from what I could tell in the object browser of VBA, not delete them.
What I will be doing is deleting all the verticies and adding back the correct ones. Or if there was a way to transfer a handle to a new entity after deleting the old, that would suffice too.
I have a Lisp that I have been working on with some folks in the office, and i feel like i am close, but i am not getting the cigar. The idea would be to have the lisp allow the user to select a nested x-ref entity, and change the color and linetype of the selected layer, similar to the old "LAP" command (I know it is a dinosaur, but I still miss it). I seem to be doing swimmingly, code I have quasi-plagiarized. It seems to crap out where i try to pass the selected linetype back to the layer. I get the nastygram "Command: ; error: no function definition: GETLINETYPE" right after selecting the linetype from the dialog.
Code below...

(if (setq Sel (nentsel "

I am looking for a function to print out the entire entity list of the selected entity...
so... walking down through the entity data... print out what it finds... any time it encounters an entity name... then do an entget and print that out too.
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 am trying to entmake a hatch entity from a hatch template.
After entget the template hatch entity, i get the followings
Select object: ((-1 . <Entity name: 7ed11b78>) (0 . "HATCH") (330 . <Entity

Now I wrote the following code using the above data as follows

The point variables pt1, pt2....pt8 are all defined. But when I run the code the hatch is not being created? Why?

I'm looking for a way to add custom data in dwf files. We currently create 3D models which get exported to dwf format so that we can share information with clients. Ideally, we'd like them to be able to click on any member and have the software provide additonal information about that part. Example, part number. It would be awesome if the client could then say double click that part and have the actual detailed part drawing open up.
The parts we are trying to reference are generated using a third party application, so they are not solids, but the information is easily accessible in LISP.
I am trying to write a lisp file that extracts the LAYER, Z, X, Y, TEXT HEIGHT, POINT NUMBER, from the attached DXF file. Ultimately I will have the lisp insert a "POINT" at the X,Y,Z, cords, and then a "TEXT" entity at the same coordinates with the text height value and the point number string. Both entities need to be on the layer ending in "-PN". The layer name will change depending on the date. I have a third party program that creates the DXF file.
The point of the lisp file is to insert the point numbers and points into my drawing at their correct locations. For the life of me I can not make this work. I have attached the little bit of lisp I have, which unfortunately does not work properly because of it searching for the "TEXT" entry in the DXF file of which there are three per point number. I only need one. I have also attached the DXF file I have. maybe just an overall procedure that I can then code myself? I'm just not good at getting lisp to read a file and extract what I want from it.
