How to change the dim text color in current dimstyle with a lisp routine? I want to modify current dimstyle instead of override current dimstyle, so it can change all existing dim text color under the current dimstyle.

How do I change the insertion point of a text using "vla-put" ? I've tried using :
(vla-put-InsertionPoint en a)) with a = (4455.94 428.576 0.0)
and I get the following error:
lisp value has no coercion to VARIANT with this type: (4455.94 428.576 0.0)
I need a lisp routine that will add or subtract to modify a value in a text string. Its used for drainage fixture units on waste & vent plans. Example: We use basic dtext strings that look like this [color=red]4"(6)[/color]I would like to be able to add or subtract to the number that is [b][size=12pt]ONLY[/size][/b] in parenthesis and would like to be able to pick multiple text strings at one time so it would result in something like this: [color=green]4"(6)[/color] + 9 will become [color=blue]4"(15)[/color].

I have a prompt to ask for a discipline designator as a string. I want to have an If statement or a conditional to read that string and check for a "C" if it finds it I want to have it set up a dimstyle to decimal feet ect and if not do it as architectural units.
This is just a test lisp that I'd like to add to the main one listed above...
(defun c:test(/ disc dsnm dsna)
(setq disc (getstring "
Discipline (G,C,S,M,E,CP): ")) ;Prompt for Discipline
(setq ds (getint "
Dimscale Factor: ")) ;Prompt for Dimscale

I need ot append events when the dimstyle is change using the AutoCAD dimstyle popup list, but don't know which reactoer to use. I tried with Comman begin and end, and Sysvawill change and changed, but they don't detect the dimstyle changes.

how can i know if the current view/display is align with the current ucs?
let's say i have rotate the ucs about z axis 45 degrees and make it plan now i draw some things and then i change back to world
worlducs = 1
viewdir = 0,0,1
ucsxdir = 1,0,0
ucsydir = 0,1,0
but the display is still in the ucs z 45 (ucsfollow = 0) set the view to PLAN current (now the view is aligned) but the system vars does not change.
For a plan UCS, you would need to compare the VIEWDIR system variable and the cross product of the UCSXDIR and UCSYDIR system varaibles.

Technique that can check the current plotter name for the current tab and assign it to a variable? i.e. can it be assigned to a variable to check if if equals "myplotter1". The next step - is there a technique to change the plotter name to "myplotter2.pc3".
I have partially done the latter part of this in the past using the -plot command line to ASSIGN a new plotter but I would really like to only run the routine if it really needs to.
Some time ago I was able to add modyfy and remove regestry keys ussing AutoLISP Unfortunatly I have lost the information on how to do this.

How can I find them with lisp?
Tables do no have a rotation angle. I can find the insert point, but there is no other point to make an angle calculation with.

The first rectangle is drawn from 0,0 at the World Coordinate System. There is never any trouble with the code below when the objects are drawn at the WCS. The problem is when I try to draw a bounding box around an object while in another UCS. It seems that it always draws the bounding box at the WCS instead of my UCS. I have used (trans <pointlist> 0 1) on all combinations it seems and I still cannot get it to draw the bounding box at the current UCS.

(setq objColor (vla-getcellcontentcolor eVLAMT R C)) ;sets a Color Object, whatever that is
(vla-setrgb objColor RED GRN BLU) ;sets the new color of the Color Object
(vla-setcellcontentcolor eVLAMT R C objColor) ;sets that new color object to the cell
I would like to set dimension text fill color to "background" instead of, you know, dimensioning my drawings properly.
I have this code I got on these forums and it works well except for the 'TextFillColor' variable. I can't find the correct color number or syntax for "Background'. It's currently set to 0 which produces ByBlock, and any number I put in there corresponds to the AutoCAD color number (1 = Red, 2 = Yellow, etc.)
If you have a better routine that you could post that works for me too. Or maybe you could just do my work for me? Even better.
(defun c:test (/ obj num cnt)

(setq ss1 (ssget '((0 . "Dimension")))

I have a simple block with 2 attribute and 1 line inside it.
something like this:
Attribute1
──────
Attribute2
I want to modify length of line due to width of thoes attributs. length of line is equal to maximum(width attribute1 and width attribute2).
dxf code for start point of a line is 10 and end point for a line entity is 11.The question is: how can I modify the length of line automatically via maximum width of these attributes?
for getting width of a text:
(defun GetWidth ( en ) ((lambda ( lst ) (- (caadr lst) (caar lst))) (textbox en)))
sample:
A1

Any lisp routine on how to change "Drawing Properties" (fields via Mtext) on multiple single drawing files?
There are several instances where we would need to take a project to create another one and simply change the title block description.
As of now, we are opening each drawing (there could be hundreds) and modifiying the drawing properties on each drawing to change the customer name and other project descriptions.
These are not attributes, but fields. I've researched alot on here and couldnt find anything.
The drawing is attached.
How to modify the column widths of an ACAD_TABLE?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am creating a selection set using ssget...
Then I copy that selection set multiple times in a loop. What I would like to do is then rotate (or otherwise modify) the last copied group of items. If I rotate "last" it will only accept the last drawn item, so only one item in the group of copied objects will rotate.
Here is the portion of simple code I am using right now (it's in a loop so all variables with 'Next' are changing each time):
(command "_.copy" SS1 "" SS1Base NextPT)
(command "_.Rotate" "l" "" NextPT NextAng)
This works fine with a single object, but I can't figure out how to call up the entire group of objects.

I am starting with a polyline then i use the pasteblock command to insert that polyline as a block.Now i can pull up the property box and change the xyz scale.
I would like to know how to change these setting in my lisp.The scale will be x=1 y=0.1 z=1
I have the below code (from a user here on the forum) which works great for aligning text, mtext and blocks to 2 points. For annotative entities, it respects the rotation angle for mtext and text.
ie I have an mtext object at 1"=20' scale and at 1"=40' scale. I run the command when the current annotative scale is 1"=40'. The object at 40' scale has changed, but the 20' scale is unchanged. This is working as I would like it to.
But for annotative blocks, it gets weirded out. In the above example, the block at 40' will rotate, but so will the attributes at 20' scale. But linework and hatching at 20' scale will be unchanged. it looks really weird. how to get it to play nice with blocks. Ideally, I'd like the block to be at different rotation angles in different annotative scales.
(defun C:R2P (/ ss ang edata); = Rotate objects to align with 2 Points (setq ss (ssget '((0 . "*TEXT,INSERT"))) ang (angle (getpoint "
First alignment point: ") (getpoint "
Second alignment point: ")) ) (repeat (sslength ss) (setq edata (entget (ssname ss 0))) (entmod (subst (cons 50 ang) (assoc 50 edata) edata)) (ssdel (ssname ss 0) ss) ))
I am looking for an example excel macro to zoom to an object given the obect entities handle.
