AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Retaining Tool Palette Grouping
Apr 18, 2011I am developing 'enterprise' tool palettes which i've put on a networked drive to which i have write permissions and the users have read-only permissions. Within these palettes, each palette has separators and Text titles to group the commands and these groups originally appeared on everyone's computer as i expected when i first made them available. But now when i add new commands to a palette on the networked drive, the new command appears on the correct palette, but at the bottom of the palette, on the user's computers.
I have made provisions for each user to create their own collection of palettes, which are saved on their own directory and, of course, they can do whatever they want with them. But i want to prevent them from re-organizing the enterprise palettes and more importantly, if i add a new command in palette "X" and locate it in group "y" of that palette, i want it to be in that location when the users view it.
Is there some way to make the enterprise palettes on their computers look like i arrange them?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Tool Palette From Shared Catalog?
Aug 9, 2013I have created a new tool palette. The tool palette takes the blocs from a drawing.
Now I want to connect this to a catalog, so it can refresh from there. I should be able to export the tool palette with a right click but I only have the possibility to rename, new palette or delete.
I guess that once I have managed to export the catalog I can then easily import the tool palette in my colleagues computer. Also if it links to the same catalog we should be able to easily refresh it.
We use Autocad 2012 with hsbCad.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Tool Palette Search Path Duplicating Entries
Jul 22, 2013I used this snip it to add the path for network tool palettes. It works but it keeps adding the same search path every time i open a new session of AutoCAD. The list keeps getting longer with the same information. Say you want to make sure your users all have a certain tool palette.
(setq tooldir "z:\1111\2222\test]" toolpaths (vlax-get-property (vlax-get-property (vlax-get-property (vlax-get-acad-object) 'Preferences) 'Files) 'ToolPalettePath))(if (not (vl-string-search tooldir toolpaths)) (vlax-put-property (vlax-get-property (vlax-get-property (vlax-get-acad-object) 'Preferences) 'Files) 'ToolPalettePath (strcat (vl-string-right-trim ";" toolpaths) ";" tooldir) ))(setq tooldir nil toolpaths nil)
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Tool Palette Macro To Insert Explode Block
Mar 29, 2013It's been too long since I created one of these for Toolbars. I need a macro that will insert and explode a block. I just need the block's content, not the block itself. I can create a maco to explode a block with no path, but can't remember how to include the "*" in a file with a folder path to explode the block while its being inserted. Because of spaces in the file name, quotes (") must be around the path.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Convert DGN Files To DWG Files?
Feb 8, 2013I want to convert my DGN files to DWG files.
So I write this code in LISP:
(defun C:Batch_DGN2DWG (/path dgnfile SDI_Mode) (setq path "C:\DGN\" ;;Default path for DGN files location. DGNIMPORTMODE 0 ;;Imports the DGN file in a new drawing file. SDI_Mode SDI ;;Save Current SDI MODE SDI 1 ;;SET Single Drawing Mode for AutoCAD. );;setq (foreach dgnfile (vl-directory-files path "*.DGN" 1) (progn (command "-dgnimport" (strcat path dgnfile) "" "" "" "y" (strcat path dgnfile ".DWG")) (delay 100) );;progn );;foreach (setq SDI SDI_Mode) ;;restrore SDI Mode to previous value.)
but I can't finish it!
I attached some DGN files for test purpose.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Adding LAYERS To Tool Palettes?
Jul 10, 2013I've inherited management of CAD standards. A third party developed the tool palette - mostly blocks, etc. but there are also icons to add whole series of layers to drawings. Click 'Architectural Layers' you add the architectural layers. Click 'Plumbing Layers' you add the plumbing layers. Since the original implementation, things have been changed.
How do I update these tools?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Making A Most Used Tool Button For Toolbar
Sep 22, 2011I also note I could use excel but I have this thing where id like to have the lisp and AutoCAD run independent from other external programs.
I’m the CAD monkey at work and I’m given unbelievable autonomy to what I build (sometimes I confuse work with hobby) put all to one side. My functions often require toolbars with several buttons on them what I would like for one toolbar in particular is to make a most used function button. Better said a button at the beginning of my toolbar, which execute the most used button from within that entire toolbar.
The ideas so far is to add a write-line (append) function lisp for every button this would intern write a button codename/ reference example SNP for snap and SAV for save and so on. All easy I can do this.
What I’m having difficulty with is actually counting the instances of the most used button using lisp. At the moment I’m resorting to a vb.net program, which needs to be shelled first, to recalculate the whole list it works but is messy and quite patch worked. The highest instance would then be used to set a variable, which would be used as the command in the so-called “top 1 tool button”
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Add New / Blank Button To Custom Tool Bar
Apr 17, 2012AutoCAD 2012
When I am in the CUI editor and I right click on a button in a custom tool bar, it gives me the option to "duplicate" or "copy".
But when I go to change the properties of the new button, it changes both the original and the new button upon "apply".
Can I just add a new/blank button? I've tried dragging a new command from the list at the lower left corner but it does the same thing. :?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Avoid DCL Files
Apr 23, 2012I am running autocad 2011 for mac to design sails. I was given a autolisp file that will automate the majority of the process, but it uses a .dcl file to input all the numbers. Unfortunately .dcl files are not support with the Mac version and therefore I am looking for any solutions.
- Is there another way to input the information and therefore link the lsp file to something different?
- Is it easy to re-write the lisp file and input directly into that?
At the moment the time I am wasting researching how to make the .lsp program work, I could have hand drawn most of the sails anyway!

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Migrate Custom Tool Palettes And Toolbars
Dec 2, 2013How do I migrate my Custom Tool Palettes and Custom Toolbars from Civil 3D 2012 to Civil 3D 2014?
What files do I need to create or copy to transfer to 2014?
My Custom Tool Palette consists of Block Symbols, Border Sheets, Scales and Seals, Lisp Routines etc.
My Custom Toolbar is just a number of standard cad commands I've put together in my toolbar like Revision Cloud, Layer Isolate, Match Properties, Attach Image, etc.
Do I need to export out my cui file, do I need to create a Profile file, do I need to setup the same directory structure naming and copy my files into those same directory names?
Or is there some easy hidden Magic Button in Civil 3D that you click on and it does the rest?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Multiple Files Same Attribute In All

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?

Feb 7, 2012I have a lisp routine that gathers all xrefs from the current drawing and creates a script that opens each xref, runs specific commands then saves/closes each drawing. Once all commands have been ran in each xref I would like the script to reload all xrefs in the original drawing that the script was called from. I have a reload-all lisp that is already loaded in all of my drawings but for some reason when this command is called at the end of the script it will not run.
Is there a way to have the script continue to run in the original drawing that it was called from? Or maybe even pass control back to the lisp that created/called the script? Its seems to me that the easiest thing would be to have the script continue to run after it has gone through all of the specified drawings but this is not working.
