AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Extract Label From New WCS
Jun 4, 2013
I need a lisp routine that will allow me to pick a polyline and label with azimuth and distance (direction-north, clockwise) of a new WCS.
Is there any code that extract information for a new WCS?

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.

I’m looking to extract the second from the last directory within the dwgprefix of
"P:Projects66 Structural666-4800-00 TPA666-4815-00 Res4815 Res Figures" (i.e. 666-4815-00 Res)
This is what I have so far:
(defun c:tmp ( )
(setq P1 (getpoint "
Pick point: "))
(command "text" P1 "" ""

A quick lisp routine to extract the elevations of a selection set of 2d polylines? I have a massive "contour" file composed of 2d polylines with elevations. I need to find the min and max polyline elevation in selected areas. I can't figure out how to extract just the elevations of my selected polylines so I can quickly see the elevation values?

I've got a linetype that's part of our autocad template file and has been for so long that nobody around here even knows where the original line file is.
I need to extract the linetype out so that I can make some minor modifications. I did do a search and found a nifty lsp routine from Paul Turvill. (Here's the thread that pointed me there: [URL] ..........
I ran it and it SEEMED to work. All the linetypes in the file it created look good EXCEPT for the one I needed to extract. That one looks like this in the line file:
*TREELINE,Series of arcs used to indicate tree drip lines
A,0.0001,-0.0001,
The linetype DOES display properly in the dwg file (meaning lines drawn using it look good).

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?

how to sensibly extract angular dimensions as attributes.
I can extract the attributes from a block containing angular dimensions, the attributes list angular dimensions as a field but don't actually list the number of degrees for the angular dimension.
It is the number of degrees that I am actually trying to obtain - but I cannot work out how to obtain the information

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.

I design a small plant in Autocad 2012. For the pipes we used cylinders and boxes(for square pipe), now we need to make the bill of materials, but I don't know how to extract the data from each cylinder(radius and height) or box.
It is possible to do this?
I place a small sample from the plant. Totally I am having around 6000 elements.

I was wondering if it was the COND statement that I would need to use to evaluate a block to confirm that two attribute tags existed and if so, if would process the block to perform an attribute extraction of both of those tags. It would ignore blocks that only had one or the other attribute tags - and only extract the attribute values if the block had BOTH of the tags present - It could be blank, but it had to exist.
For example, I want to find blocks that have the attribute tag "PART_A" and "ID" - and then create a CDF that has the value of "PART_A" in the first column and "ID" in the second column. Then it closes my CDF file.
Then, I want it to scan my drawing again for blocks that contain attribute tag "PART_B" and "ID" and then re-open that CDF file and append the values so that the values of teh attribute "PART_B" is in the first column and the values of the tag "ID" are in the second column.
I have been playing with the following code --- is there anyway to modify the code to get it to do what I need? I have already removed the part that writes the header-row....

I am trying to revise an old dialog box so that I can add some new options but I'm finding it difficult to shorten the label for a radio button enough to get the box width to look reasonable. I read somewhere that Windows fonts cause the label lengths to hold extra space for each character. The webpage that I found this on said the solution was to make a new line for the label, which sounded great to me, but they did not tell how to do it. After much searching, I figured out how to add an additional line to the label, but my program now refuses to function correctly. I set the middle button before initiating the dialog in my lisp, but when I select a different option, the original button remains selected along with the user's choice. The program actually works, using the last button selected, but I really want the button to respect the pick by the user and deselect the default button.
This worked perfectly when I had only two selections, and it still worked perfectly when I added the third option, but it just doesn't like it when I try to add a new line for the long description in the middle of a radio column.
I'm barely functional with dialog boxes..
DCL in question:
:boxed_radio_column { label = "Location"; width = 20; height = 2; fixed_width = true; fixed_height = true; alignment = top; :radio_button{key = "sl-AD"; label = "Spring Lake Applications";} :text_part{label = " and Distributor Services";} :radio_button{key = "sl-BP"; label = "Spring Lake BP Systems";} :radio_button{key = "gr"; label = "Grand Rapids";} }
lisp has the following in this order:
load dialog - I have a loading function that works fine
(set_tile"sl-BP""1")
(action_tile"sl-AD" "(TGW-Setup_01 $key)")
(action_tile"sl-BP" "(TGW-Setup_01 $key)")
[Code] .....
Of course, these are just the pertinent sections of a much larger setup dialog, but I didn't think I needed to post all the functions that this program is doing, since you'd have a difficult time running this without my templates, printers and a number of support files.
Like I said, it seems to be choking on my adding :text_part { Label = " and Distributor Services";} instead of making this a single line of the label for the button above it.
Why does this cause the default radio button to stop releasing?

I found the following lisp routine on the forums and would like to know how to make a couple changes.
1. Have two line of text with the N or S on top of the E or W.
2. Include the foot symbol after the distance
3. Have the N,S,E,W placed before the distance, ex S 0.00'
4. Eliminate the negative sign
5. Use my current text height instead of dimtxt height
(Currently using Autodesk Land Desktop 2009 and want the text to come in based on the current text style since we use several different scales and text depending on project)This is a great routine that is going to make life much easier for us.
(defun C:LBD (/ P1 P2 TX);label difference
(while
(setq p1 (getpoint "
Specify first point or press Enter to Exit: "))
(setq p2 (getpoint p1 "
Specify second point: ")
ydiff (- (cadr p2)(cadr p1))
xdiff (- (car p2)(car p1)))

Of course with ACAD MAP (FDO Labels for example) or better with ACAD CIVIL : no problem !
But often I have to use a Standard AutoCAD ...
A lots of people have already asked for this routine :
But I search in this forums and some others and unfortunately I can't find any correct routine Full operational on ACAD 201X 32/64 bits
I have many 2D Plines with an Elevation : some Normal , some have been splined --> 1st problem
I would like to label them with :
- either a Block with ONE attribut : the elevation
- either a MText with a blank Mask behind
As you wish ...
Question : Size/Height of the Block or MText ?
Some 2D Plines are very long (2nd problem) so I would like a question like :
Label each Pline every xxxx Units ?
So on a Pline Contour of 2000 meters, I could have the elevation (Block or MText) every 50 meters ...
Of course I would like that the Block or Mtext will have to follow (rotation) the Pline (splined or not) where the label is inserted !

Ultimately I want to delete a bunch of Layers by selecting them using a portion of their name. Is there anything in cad that allows you to specifically select layers using only a portion of the layer name?
Based on AutoCAD Layer Standards: Users label layers with a code; for example: A-ANNO-TEXT
A - Stands for the Architectural Category the layer falls into
ANNO - Stands for Annotation
TEXT - Type of Annotation
I want to use the Layer Delete (-LAYDEL) command to delete all layers that begin with A-ANNO. In the Layer Manager (-LAYER) I am able to select specific layers using a " * " placed before and/or after " A-ANNO " to include all layers with that in its name.
When I write a script however (-LAYDEL); cad will ask me for the layer name, but will not allow me to use the *A-ANNO* to include all layers with that name: A-ANNO-TEXT, A-ANNO-GLAZ, A-ANNO-WALL, etc...
Is there anything in cad that allows you to specifically select layers using only a portion of the layer name??? I have to "taylor" drawings that I receive from companies who's layers may vary.
My script is in basic (NON LISP) language:
-LAYDEL
N
A-GENM
N
A-DOOR
N
A-DOOR-FRAM
N
A-DOOR-GLAZ
N
Y

I'm trying to set up a height label for sections and elevations. I then want to update it with a shortcut.
I already tried it with a field that shows me the y coordinates, but it won't show me the "+-"0.00 sign,when I put it to zero level. It only writes "0.00".

Is there a lisp that will allow me to do a continuous dimension, but will alternate the dimension position from low, high, low and high? If there is no lisp already created, how to create one?
See Continuous dimension attachment for example.
I work at a glass and glazing company and this is how we dimension mullion width and DLO. See typical window dimensioning attachment for window elevation with dimensions.

Is there a way to programatically set a visual style before a drawing actually opens?
We have some huge models and people seem to forget to change their visual styles back to 2D wireframe before saving and exiting drawings. Some models will crash on some workstations when trying to open in a rendered mode.
I found a lisp with a function that looked to set viewport visual styles. But it does not seem to be supported anymore. --> (vla-put-VisualStyle vport 1)
