I have been searching all over and have not found a method for limiting the number of digits/characters a user can enter for a getstring or getint prompt.
View 9 RepliesHow to do a default text for getstring? I would use initget in the following except the prefix can be any letter(s). And the problem with what I have below is it does not type the default text if nothing is entered.
(defun C:ww ()
(if tmp (= nil) (setq tmp "ABC"))
(prompt "
Enter prefix <")(princ tmp)(princ ">: ")
(setq pfix (strcase (getstring)))
(if (= pfix nil) (setq pfix tmp))
(setq tmp pfix)
(setq PT (getpoint "
Pick point: "))
(command "TEXT" "S" "Standard" "J" "M" PT "6" "0" pfix)
)
I would like to eliminate a mouse click in my program. I use getstring to allow the user to either enter in an integer or a distance used for labeling in a drawing, but I could eliminate the need for the user to then click an option that completes the label if I only knew how to determine if the entry is an integer (such as 5 or 15) or a distance (such as 24" or 36").
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get a default value (from global variable) put as the default for getstring command. Problem is I want it as if I had typed it into the getstring command so I can modify it if required. It is for entering filenames which only change slightly ie 1129E09LS1 ...LS2 ...XS1 etc.

For defaults that I don't want to change I usually use this format:

How can I determine what was selected in the pop-up box and then using that for 1 of 2 things, either 1) Turn off the Edit Box for Hole Spacing if the selected option is 1(which would be value = "0" of the popup list) or 2) Making the portion where it confirms that the Hole Spacing Edit Box is filled out so that if the Pop-up List displays 1, it doesn't check the Hole Spacing Box. Below is the DCL and LISP that I'm currently using.
Here is my current DCL:

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.
for my latest little project I'm trying to change layer settings depending on a entry in a sheet set attribute.
Basically, if the sheet set custom attribute entry is 'white' I want the colour of a specific layer displayed as 255,255,255, and if it's blue I want it changed to 0,0,255. So I can control the colours from a sheet set custom properties level.
And for it to check if the layer existing in the drawing, so it'll skip the process if it's not there.
I have some legacy custom .DCL files that we want to convert the user interfaces (text boxes, labels, etc) to Chinese characters. Is that even possible in .DCL?
I have gotten our NET and VBA apps converted but not having much luck with the DCL files.
we use AutoCAD 2013 english version also in China.
Have a look to t below process
(setq app (vlax-get-acad-object))
(setq actdoc (vla-get-activedocument app))
(setq actlay (vla-get-activelayout actdoc))
(setq laynam (vlax-get-property actlay 'name))
On a Chinese computer with Windows XP, the layout name via ActiveX is displayed correctly "A3 -布局-02" on the variable laynam.
But under Windows 7 64 Bit I get this "A3 -??-02". So all ActiveX objects with AutoLisp commands do not transfer the Chinese Unicode characters, also on a system in china.
But the pure lisp command (layoutlist) for example returns always the correct characters ("A3 -布局-02")
Do I need any Chinese dll’s for ActiveX dependent language? On my test PC I installed the file autocad_2013_traditional_chinese_language_pack_win_64bit in the hope I get shared files for ActiveX but this did not bring success.
Is there a way to find and/or replace "very" special characters like [carriage return], [backspace] or even [tab mark], considering that the first thing that comes to mind when saying special characters is the standard and extended ASCII only.

I'm trying to write a simple Custom Command that sets any layer that matches "$-*" to a specific color. But as soon as AutoCAD sees the $, it thinks I'm trying to do a DIESEL expression. Supposedly, the quote marks specify that the enclosed characters should be treated as plain text, but that doesn't happen.Here's what I've got:
^C^C-LAYER;C;252;"$-*";;
And this is what I get:
Command: -LAYERCurrent layer: "$-HATCH-00-002-PW-BOAT"Enter an option [?/Make/Set/New/Rename/ON/OFF/Color/Ltype/LWeight/MATerial/Plot/Freeze/Thaw/LOck/Unlock/stAte/Description/rEconcile]: CNew color [Truecolor/COlorbook] : 252Enter name list of layer(s) for color 252 <$-HATCH-00-002-PW-BOAT>: "No matching layer names found.Enter an option [?/Make/Set/New/Rename/ON/OFF/Color/Ltype/LWeight/MATerial/Plot/Freeze/Thaw/LOck/Unlock/stAte/Description/rEconcile]:

When i export revit drawing with revit family
the revit family become block in autocad like this
M_Single-Flush - 700 x 2200mm-278353-Ground Level _0_45
usually i want to remove the ID and view name to become like this without have to re type because it is tedious
M_Single-Flush - 700 x 2200mm
something like how many letters you want to remove from last to first ?
or something better like remove this last two dash and the letters embedded inside ( that separate name-ID-View name) -278353-Ground Level _0_45?
I can't write unicode characters to a text file.
as you know, you can write chars on text screen easily: (write-line (strcat "\U+" "2122"))
but if you want to write chars to a text file, this command does not work: (write-line (strcat "\U+" "2122") TxtFileVar)
Here is a part of my code to test:

assign a character where ? is shown so that it matches with the number of characters to remove based on the 3 lines above (see wcmatch lines). At present, whatever number I replace that ?? with, it removes that number of characters from the layer that I selected (if it meets that WCMATCH criteria). Another option which may be more difficult is to be able to have the routine look at the object layer and if it contains -N- or -D- or -NEW- or -DEMO- then to remove all the characters that follow these layer modifiers. This way I can cleanly add another project modifier behind these modifers.
