AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Grab All Text In Drawing - Incrementing Variables
Aug 1, 2013
I have this lisp that grabs all the text(the value and the location) in my drawings and I put them into a list. Here is what I have so far:
(defun c:loop ()
(setq numbers (ssget "_X" (list (cons 0 "TEXT") (cons 1 "##*")) ))
(setq newlist '())
(setq IN 0);set index
(setq SLGTH (sslength numbers))
[code].......
What i need to happen is this: When "whatever" returns "value0" i need to set "value0" to the first item in list "newlist". Then when "whatever" returns "value1" i need to set "value1" to the second item. Now I can do it the long hand way, but i am trying to simplify this step, and shorten up my overall program.

I want to write content of variables to a text file but I should have conversion function for variables.
for example
(setq a 123); a is an integer type, contetnt of a is 123
so I should use (itoa a) to get "123" as a string and then I can write it to text file.
but what about another type of variables?
(defun ToString ( a / result)(setq result "")(cond((= (type a) 'ENAME) (progn (setq result "Entity names")))((= (type a) 'EXRXSUBR) (progn (setq result "External ObjectARX applications")))((= (type a) 'FILE) (progn (setq result "File descriptors")))((= (type a) 'INT) (progn (setq result (itoa

I know how to increment pick points numerically (see below). How is it done alphabetically?
(defun C:test (/ pt# pt) (setq pt# (getint "
Enter number: ")) (while (setq pt (getpoint "
Specify point: " ))(if (/= pt nil) (progn (command "TEXT" "M" pt "" "" pt#) (setq pt# (1+ pt#)) ) ) ) (princ))

I was able to find/update a LISP program that returns the dynamic block to its original state, overriding the anonymous name and make the actual block name the effective name. I am in the process of manipulating the LISP program so I can select multiple blocks rather than one at a time.
(defun CYMEFFEC ()(vl-load-com) (setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel "Select blocks: ")))) (vlax-put obj 'Name (vlax-get obj 'Effectivename)))

So what I'm trying to do is make a selection set that will only select a specific dimension, as I don't know the exact placement as it varies depending on the size of the part. I know what the value will be, but again the value depends on the size of the part, but one of the items earlier in my program is I get the Hole Spacing, which the dimension I need to select is Half of the Hole Spacing. Here is what I'm trying:
(setq HALFBOLTSPCDXF '((1 . HALFBOLTSPC)))
where HALFBOLTSPC is a variable that takes the Bolt Spacing and divides it by 2.
When I do a run selection in Visual LISP, I get the following:
((1 . HALFBOLTSPC))
But what I was expecting to get was:
((1 . "10.00""))
As my test case is using 20" Hole Spacing which means half the hole spacing is 10.00". So is there another way to do this? OR what do I need to do to get it to recognize the Variable and give the value instead of the Variable name?
If needed: AutoCAD 2013 User using Visual LISP for editing LISP and DCL files Also I have AutoCAD 2011 currently still available for us, but we are using AutoCAD 2013 for 99.9% of AutoCAD use

a simple lisp file?
I want to set "hideprecision" to 1. This variable can not be saved - I looked it up in Express Tools.
So I thought a lisp file to load at start up would do the trick.

I am unsure why my Lisp does not work.
(DEFUN C:Clear_values (/ GLBLS) (SETQGLBLS '(*DATEDRAWN* *DRAFTNAME* *JOBNUMBER* *OWNERNAME**JOBCOE* *PERMITREVDATE* *PERMITCONTACT* *HOMEBUILDER**SUBDIVISION* *ADDRESS**CITY* *STATE* *ZIP* *LOT#**PARCEL#* *NSCOORD* *EWCOORD* *STANDARDDETAIL#**SUPERNAME* *SALESMAN**GATECODE* *HOMEPHONE* *WORKPHONE* *ALTPHONE1**ALTPHONE2* *EMAIL1* *EMAIL2* *ACCESS**EXCAVATIONTYP* *EXCATDEMO1**EXCATDEMO2* *SKIMRUN* *AWLRUN*

I've tried several options such as (mapcar 'set GLBLS "%%") but nothing happens, and with the above code nothing happens; the code only returns nil.

Writing a routine that stores a file name as a string in variable FILE.I check the variable and it returns a nice quoted string: "filename-123.dwg"
I would like AutoCAD to open the file w/out user input.With FILEDIA set to 0, I've tried passing the variable to the command line:
(command "open" FILE)
or in a script as:
open
(FILE)
...
or,
open
!FILE
...
I get the same error. The string dumps to the command line and I get 'Unknown command "DWG" .'

My company is in the process of upgrading to AutoCAD 2013 (yes, I know 2014 is out, but IT won’t let us get the most recent because of fear of “new release bugs”). My company is small and our CAD Standards/Management is less than desirable. Over the past few years I have become the unofficial company CAD Manager and have slowly been getting us up to speed with using the latest capabilities and following best practices.
An issue that I deal with constantly is a new user not having the correct registry-saved system variables set up. This also happens a lot because our IT guy frequently reinstalls AutoCAD to fix issues. Every time AutoCAD is installed/reinstalled, all the registry-saved system variables are set to their default values. We have several that need to be set a certain way to match our current drafting standards (a few examples: .bak files turned off, plot.log files turned off, advanced attribute editor turned on, plot area relative to edge of paper, etc, etc.). Typically, I will get complaints from users about something not working correctly, and then I will troubleshoot the issue and eventually find out that they just had their AutoCAD reinstalled and their system variables are not set how they should be. Then I will get out my list and have them set all the variable s properly via the AutoCAD command line.
I have read up on creating AutoCAD Deployments (and we will be using these Deployments for this upgrade), but there does not seem to be a way to set variables when creating the Deployment.
Finally, to complicate things a little more, most of our users actually use AutoCAD LT (so no Lisp), and only a select few (like me) have full AutoCAD. So, we will be creating two separate Deployment files as it stands (which is not a big deal).
Some of my preferred criteria for the solution:
-Solution can be used for both AutoCAD & AutoCAD LT (I’m okay with there being two separate system variable “deployment” files since we will already have two different AutoCAD Deployments. I would just like the procedure for deploying both packages to be the same regardless of whether it’s for LT or full version).
- Solution would be able to be applied to each workstation without opening AutoCAD on each machine (and ideally, it would all happen when the AutoCAD Deployment installer was run!)
Is there any current best practices for accomplishing this? (maybe by changing the registry through batch files, VBscript files, etc? Or using AutoCAD script files – however, this requires the program to be open to run, which I was trying to avoid).

How can specific attribute values be extracted from a drawing and assigned to a variable in lisp.
The existing title block is having attributes : Area, Sub area, Description, Drawing type. I want to extract this values and assign it to some variable which I have already listed and then it shall be assigned to some other attributes in the same drawing with Area1, Subarea1, Description1, Drawing type1... and so on.. Both the attributes shall be in the same drawing file.

is it possible to make a LISP program whcih write down my layer name and description as text or Mtext in the drawing, so it will look like:
A_Wall architecture wall
A_Column architecture column
something like that.Each text, which is written in the drawing should have the same layer like the layer name.
the closest i can get is this code below, which write the layer as text, but what missing is: i want to add the description behind the layer name:
(defun c:layerlegend (/ osm ortho clayer celtype cecolor start-point line-length text-height *error*)
(defun *error* (msg)
(setvar "osmode" osm)
(setvar "orthomode" ortho)
(setvar "clayer" clayer)
(setvar "celtype" celtype)
(setvar "cecolor" cecolor)
(princ msg)
)

I have quite a large drawing (subdivision) with many bearings annotated.On many of the bearings, I wish to reverse them.
For example, if the text is 6°49' I want it to read 186°49'
Similarly if the text is 355°21' I want it to read 175°21'
Any LISP routine or VBA that will do this?I have one called "180" however it only succeeds in crashing Autocad.

I am able to insert multi line text into the Drawing Properties Summaryinfo standard field "comments" by using string concatenation in VBA by using "mytext" & vbLF & vbCR "mytext".
But I can't find a way that works in autolisp. This code does not work.
(defun c:FillComments (/) (vl-load-com) (setq acadObj (vlax-get-acad-object)) (setq acDoc (vlax-get-property acadObj 'ActiveDocument)) (setq acDocSumInfo (vlax-get-property acDoc 'SummaryInfo)) (setq *customer* "MyCustomerName") (setq *location* "MyLocation") (setq *project* "MyProject") (setq*comments* (strcat *customer* ", " (chr 10) (chr 13) *location* ", " (chr 10) (chr 13) *project* ) ;_ end of strcat ) ;_ end of setq (vlax-put-property acDocSumInfo "Comments" *comments*) (princ)) ;_ end of defun
The text comes in but all on one line.

I am trying to put together a lisp routine for exporting a Civil3D drawing to basic autocad entities and convert it to a clients layer standards.
I don't want any user input, so I see two problems with the routine at the moment.
Step 2. SAVEAS - I want the drawing to be saved in the same directory as the current drawing, either called "CLIENT_export.dwg" or preferably "Export_{current drawing name}.dwg". If the dwg exists I want it either to overwrite or increment a suffix number.
Step 4. At the moment it askes the user for a selection, I want it to select "ALL"

It's easy for MODEL tab, but for LAYOUT tabs, I dont know how!?
I prepared a code for INSERTING MODEL tab in current drawing:
(defun INS_DWG (TAB path dwg P / blk)(setq blk (strcat ""*" path dwg """));(setq N (vla-get-count (vla-get-layouts)));;Number of LAYOUT TABS in dwg(if (or(= TAB 0) (= TAB nil))(command "INSERT" blk P 1 0)); TAB=0 or omitted ==>Insert MODEL;(if (= TAB 1));==>Insert the 1st LAYOUT in dwg file;(if (= TAB 2));==>Insert the 2nd LAYOUT in dwg file;and so on....);;;usage:;;(INS_DWG 0 "c:\test\" "test.dwg" '(0 0))

how to delete all OLE objects from drawing by most efficient way.
There are abt 150 drawings, each has from 2 to 20 or so OLE objects which need to be deleted. OLE objects are on many paper spaces.
I tried to use qselect but it selects only what is in current space.
Would need some lisp or some other methode than all can be deleted (excluding those which resides in blocks).
Tried also yto use ssx and then erase but still it deletes only what is on current space.
Just as additional info, those OLE are all pictures, not xls files for example.

As you smart individuals can figure out, we do up drawing packages for construction that consist of several drawings, hundreds of drawings, for several modules of construction. Our process usually consists of one layout per drawing, so that the lisp guy can do a drawing count and put in sheet numbers based on how I manipulate the list of drawings in the one directory folder.
Now I have a client, despite the way we currently do things, requires that about 70% of the drawings will have multiple layouts. Now we're back in the stone ages, manually putting in sheet numbers, eating up our budget for this contract.

I have the following string of code, that I'll write in everyone's start-up suite. I'm able to retrieve a list of files I want to modify, for whatever reason. (One example, when plotting drawings with layouts, sometimes the shadeplot setting is wireframe, and not classic hidden, though it's been set up in our templates).
The huge question is, can I get a list of drawings to a variable in one drawing, and have access to that variable list, in the next drawing I open? I'll iron out the bugs on read-only statuses, or manipulating drawing states later.
(defun GetDrawings ()
(setq currentpath (getvar "dwgprefix"))
(command "pspace")
(setq DrawingList (dos_getfilem "Select a file" currentpath "Drawing files (*.dwg)|*.dwg|All files (*.*)|*.*||"))
(setq ListOfDrawings (cdr DrawingList))
(setq DrawingPath (nth 0 DrawingList))

I know through the block command you can write out a selection of entities to a single drawing.But what I am wondering is if it is possible to have two drawings open, and transfer data quickly between the two?
As an example as we are detailing an assembly we create a title block around a detail, put dimensions and notes on as needed and would then like that to be transfered into another drawing next to the previously transfered detail drawing.
