AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Assign Value To List Of Variables
Oct 31, 2013
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*
[code]....
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.

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.

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" .'

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

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).

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.

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.

I use the following code to assign a reactor to an object.
Now I noticed that if I close the dwg file after you successfully saved, when I open even if I load the lisp, the reactor does not work.
Another problem: when I use the command "erase" or "explode" the reactor is started twice, why? you can run it at once?
(setq marReactor (vlr-object-reactor (list (vlax-ename->vla-object oggmar)) "TEST" '( (:vlr-erased . reactor_upd) (:vlr-modified . reactor_upd) ) ))

have a lisp routine that will ask you the starting elevation and the elevation interval, then allows you start selecting polylines and it assigns them new elevations based on your choices?
It seems years ago I had a routine that did this and it also changed the color of the polyline so you could tell which ones you had already changed, but I can't seem to find it now.

I have a list -
(setq List1 (list "Line A" "Line B" "Line C"))
I would like to add each item in an existing list to a new list -
(setq ListNew (list "This is some text" "This is more text"
the following is the part I can't figure out - it just adds the list to the list, not the individual items
(mapcar '(lambda (x) x) List1)))
I am looking for ListNew to be - (a list with 5 strings)
"This is some text"
"This is more text"
"Line A"
"Line B"
"Line C"

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.

I have a list that contains data like this,
"Tree-01-08-AA5"
"Tree-04-12-QV"
"Tree-10-30-QS"
How would I go about sorting this list by AA5, QV, QS? I know how to use vl-sort and reverse, but I do not understand how I would go about this.

I need to modify the code below.
When I run the command and write the scale, I need to change the name of the scale and the ratio automatically. The ratio should always be in the format "1: #", also the name of the scale. Maybe assigning more variables with "setq", I do not know.
(defun c:test ()(setvar "cmdecho" 0)(setq name (getint "
Type the scale you need:"))(setq ratio (strcat "1:" "0.1"))(command "-SCALELISTEDIT" "Add" name ratio "Exit")(setvar "cmdecho" 1)(princ))

Here's one that I could use on that i can't figure out:
I have a list of a bunch of descriptions that looks like this:
("00.02.00" "CTD01 Mainframe PT1 (top)" "GD01")
What I am doing is grabbing the middle item and i need to break this up into 2 lines. So, my code below grabs the first 3 "words" in the second item in the list and puts them in a list, but I need to convert this back to a string.
(setq desc6a (list (car (read (strcat "(" (cadr input6) ")" )))(cadr (read (strcat "(" (cadr input6) ")" ))) (caddr (read (strcat "(" (cadr input6) ")" )))))
I tried a bunch of ways but can't get it

I've been experimenting with lists and I'm curious about the fastest / easiest way to get the next element from a list:
Currently my best shot is to wrap (member 2 '(1 2 3)) with: (car(cdr (member 2 '(1 2 3))))

Here is the code snippet from my program, I am trying to build a associative list from two regular lists in the while loop. Does ""append " or "cons" only work for simple lists? Given attributeNameList attributeValTypeList which are always of the same length
(setq listCntr 0)
(while (<= listCntr (length attributeNameList))
(setq attrTagTypeAssnList (append attrTagTypeAssnList (list ((nth listCntr attributeNameList) (nth listCntr attributeValTypeList))) ))
(setq listCntr (1+ listCntr)
)
How can I dynamically build the association list.

I've created a list and want to subtract all the values within it from another variable, and assign it to a new variable. How do I do it?
Basically, I ask for ground level (assigned to variable G1), and then any number of depths beneath that (assign to list LVLLIST), and I want to return the value of the bottom point. So it's all the values in LVLLIST added together and subtracted from G1. And assign it to a new variable BASE.
For example,
G1 = 650.00
LVLLIST = (1.23 23.26 0.13 50.23)
(setq BASE (- G1 LVLLLIST))

In the example given I have two instances to show how unique the information can be.
I would like the left column of words to be some type of drop down or list so that the user does not have to type these for each line. I don't care if it's attribute, text, mtext, just whatever gets it done.

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))

(defun c:ListLayers ( / a b)(setq a(list(cdr(assoc 2(tblnext "layer" T)))))(while(setq b(tblnext "layer")) (setq a(append a(list(cdr(assoc 2 b))))));while);end
But, It's not match with the order of layers.

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:
questions :dialog {label = "Information for Program";: row {: column {: boxed_radio_row {key = "Galv";label = "Galv Slot Required?";: radio_button {key = "Y"; label = "Yes"; value = "1";}: radio_button {key = "N"; label = "No";}}: boxed_radio_row {key = "Bevel";label = "Is Leg to Face
