AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Filter For Specific Attribute Tag
Aug 30, 2011
How would one modify
(= (cdr (assoc 0 data)) "ATTRIB")
in order to filter for a certain attribute tag named MYTAG
I am working with a custom LISP routine which reports out to a CSV file, an attribute extraction file - but I need my routine to ONLY evaluate blocks which have the MYTAG attribute tag. Then, if it passes that first check, it evaluates another list of Tags within those blocks - a list of tags which I have specified elsewhere in the code.
I am trying to modify my existing code as little as possible, and I think that if I do it at the line (which I've pasted above) - that will "pre-qualify" my selection set....
ATTACHED LISP IS THE FILE I AM WORKING WITH --- THE ACTUAL LINE I WANT TO MODIFY IS AT:
"(while (eq ENSUB "ATTRIB")"

I've had a simple lisp I've been using for years that suddenly disappeared. It required that you identify a block name, tag name, and the value that you want the tag to be. All of this is performed via command line, so it is scriptable. Since I lost it, I've been experimenting with -attedit. This command comes frustratingly close to what I'm looking for, except it only appends an existing tag, or replaces a specific string within the tag; I can't get it to replace the entire tag, regardless of its value.
1> Any lisp routine that does what I describe?
or
2> How to make -attedit replace a tag value without regard to what the value currently is (like a * wildcard)?

I currently have a LISP routine that will replace the value of a specific attribute name with sequential numbers in the order that the blocks are selected. Like TCOUNT for attributes - and it only looks for a specific attribute Tag Name called "ID".
However, what I want it to do now, instead of just putting the number into the attribute value, I want the number to be a suffix to the existing default tag value of the tag named "ID" which is "ADDRESS:" for some blocks and "ELEVATION:" for other blocks but the tag name that the routine always has to filter for is "ID". That way the user can pick anywhere on the block - not being forced to pick the tag we want to add numbers to.
What I need the new LISP to do is append a space and then a number to the existing tag value in the block, so that the result would look like "ADDRESS: 1", "ADDRESS: 2", "ADDRESS 3" or "ELEVATION: 1", ELEVATION: 2", etc. depending on whatever the default value for the tag "ID" is.
there are several hundred different block names - but they all have a Tag Name of "ID" - whose default value is sometimes "ADDRESS:" and sometimes "ELEVATION:".

Convert Fields to text in my Title Block. I want to change some specific attributes only to convert into texts in my title block ( "MODE_A3" is my Title Block name).
For example in "MODE_A3" block having lots of tags like TAG1, TAG2, TAG3 upto TAG10 with fields. I need to change TAG3, TAG4, & TAG5 attribute fields into texts in all layouts.

Background: Someone exploded an attribute block and copied it hundreds of times throughout a project, each time changing the Attribute Tag to match the Value they expected to appear in their drawing. The drawing must be xrefed, so the attribute definitions do not appear.
(There is only 1 attribute in the block.)
Proposed Solutions:
1:AutoLISP routine which copies Tag data from Attribute Definition into Value of Attribute Block:
Prompt-Select Attribute Definition
Copy Tag data
Prompt-Select Attribute Block
Paste data into Value
(Allow repeat to speed workflow)(*PREFERRED*)
2:AutoLISP routine which copies Tag data from Attribute Definition into Default Value and creates a new Block:
Prompt-Select Attribute Definition
Copy Tag data
Paste data into Default Value
Create New Block
(Select Multiple Objects)(Creates tons of new blocks which are messy)

I am trying to find a lisp that would get an attribute value (tag name = NBR_5) . I'm trying to run a simple routine that would let the user place the value from the titleblock attribute as text on a drawing. I see a ton of articles regarding getting attributes but I am not well versed in programming.

Is there a quick way of getting the value of an attribute?
I have an attributed block called "tp_attributes" and it has and attribute called "OrderNum".
I just want to be able to quickly grab that value.

Say I have a block that contains two attributes, one contains a value that is a number and another contains a value that is letters. I have many of these blocks placed in a drawing, could you create a lisp that would return the sum of the number value and return it to the command line along with the letter value. Something like this:
Sum--------Item
128 RP
389 TD1
2389 SP4

I continue with my problems.....
I get attribute value from block and put it in a list:
(repeat (setq cnt (sslength sset))
(setq attValue (GetAttributeValue (ssname sset i) "tag1"))
(setq attValue2 (GetAttributeValue (ssname sset i) "tag2"))
[Code]...
When I try to put them in a table...
(foreach item lst
(vla-setText mytable
row 0
(last item)
)
(setq row (1+ row))
)
only put one ( attValue2) at column, and i like put 2 values, each one in a column in the same row

I need to delete a specific block from current opened drawing by LISP command.
for example removing XREF attached is very easy:
(COMMAND "-XREF" "D" "FRAME")
I can remove "FRAME" XREF from drawing. Now, I want to delete a/all block with "TB12" name with same action!
(command "BlockDelete" "TB12")
so, how can I delete a/all block with specific name in current drawing?

I run into some issues where i need to change an attribute based on where a block is located on a drawing. I started this routine to select the block, and then select the text that I want to change the block attribute to. It seems like everything is working up until this point. What I want to do is then replace the first selected with the second selection. How would I go about doing that? here's my code so far:
(defun C:uf ()
(if (setq fuse (nentsel "
Select Fuse Attribute: "))
(progn
(setq en (car fuse))
(setq enlist (entget en))
(setq fuseatt(cdr (assoc 1 enlist)) ) ) )
(if (setq mt(car (entsel "
Select Text: ")))
(progn
(setq enlist2 (entget mt))
(cdr (assoc 1 enlist2))
(setq wiren(cdr (assoc 1 enlist2)) ) ) )
)

I am trying to customize AutoCAd for a special domain where attribute values need to have a type. I can have a clean integrated solution by manipulating the acad.dcl or base.dcl .I am using AutoCAD 2012 . I want to extend the " define attribute" and "edit attribute" dialog boxes to promt the user for a value type when they define an attribute .I can't find the definition for these dialog boxes in acad/ base dcl files. Ideally I want to add another tile definition to these dialog boxes .If that is not possible atleast spawn a different dialog box from the "define attribute " dialog box that will collect the value type from the user.

I am trying to update my Title Block with a LISP routine (As the title implies).
So far, this is what i have...
(defun c:aTest (/ ss att)
(if (setq ss (ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "INSERT")(cons 2 "TB_PARAMOUNT_ELC")
(cons 66 1)(if (getvar "CTAB")(cons 410 (getvar "CTAB"))
(cons 67 (- 1 (getvar "TILEMODE")))))))
(progn
(foreach ent (mapcar 'cadr (ssnamex ss))
(setq att (entnext ent))
[Code]...
The title block, block name is static. The attribute name is static.
My ultimate goal is to copy the value of one attribute and "paste" that into the value of another attribute, and itterate this through the entire project.

I have a block "MANAGER" with Two Attributes "CETOP" and "CEBOT" I would like a lisp to replace what ever is in those attributes with defined text, for my purposes "Text1" and "Text2". I would like a simple routine that even I can understand so I can apply it to a couple of other lisp projects I have.

i attached a lsp routine, how to edit and remove everything except the value part.

significance of extra dxf 1 groups in the entity data of a multiline attribute? I am looking at one for the first time, so I don't know whether or not to expect multiple 1 groups. In the single example I have created there are two and the first one seems to be ignored. Can I count on that being the case all the time? Data for the one I'm looking at follows, and what shows up on the drawing display is only the contents of the second dotted pair with 1 as a key.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
((-1 . <Entity name: 7ec37d18>)
(0 . "ATTRIB")
(330 . <Entity name: 7ec37d10>)
(5 . "323")
(100 . "AcDbEntity")
(67 . 0)
(410 . "Model")

From what I can gather the attributes of a MVBlock are on the Viewblocks inside of it.
With LISP, how can I access these attributes to get and set them?

Any routine where I could keep picking on my exit arrow blocks (showing how many persons exiting from each space) one-by-one and the program would add up the numbers. For example I pick on blocks with numbers of 2, 4 & 3 and I would get 9.

I have several lisp routines that we have used since release 12 that now dont work in 2012. They all placed blocks with attributes, allowed user to fill in and continued to finish. In 2012 the attribute dialog box does not come up and point information for block placement is filled in the attributes. Is there a system variable that changes dialog boxes in 2012?

I found this routine [URL]...... that changes the width of an attribute in a block. After use it, I need to use the ATTSYNC to update the other instances of the bloc in my project.
How to modify this lisp that I receive a prompt to choose if the width attribute will be change just in the selected block or in all instances of the block? In that way, I would not have to use the ATTSYNC command each time.

i am wondering if it is possible to alter a specific attribute in cca 250 files? I have this template which has like 50-70 attributes,but not all of them are used. I have to change only one attribute in all of the files. For instance, i have an attribute with a specisfic tag, but the content of it is ie MARK, i want to change MARK to PETER, without having to open,click,retype,save,close every file. Is it possible to automatize it somehow? maybe lisp, batch or even VB?

I created a block with attributes on various layers to make it possible to turn them on/off by need. The I created a multileader style and set this block as a content. When I create a multileader all attributes appear on the same layer as the multileader itself (text entities in the block keep their layer). Is it possible to manage attribute's layer in multileader?
Please see the attached file.
