AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: SSGET With Additional Filter?
Jan 6, 2014I've been twigging around with a selectionset, but no luck. I need to build a ss with several named blocks and a few dynamic blocks which get selected as anonymous. Unfortunately not all dynamic blocks should be selected and I can find no way of either filtering out a list of dynamic blocks to exclude nor any way to campare to a list of dynamic blocks that I want selected. Below is the best idea that I had but if I wrap it into a foreach with an exclusion list, I get an empty selection set returned. (I'm guessing that I need to trim the pairs each iteration and only return the matches instead.)
(SETQ blklst (LIST "Cleaner" "DRAIN" "Return" "Therapy""PoolLight" "Paraleveler" "Waterleveler" "Skimmer" "UMSLEEVE") blst "Cleaner, DRAIN, Return, Therapy,PoolLight,Paraleveler,Waterleveler,Skimmer,UMSLEEVE")(IF (AND (SETQ ss (SSGET "x" (LIST '(0 . "INSERT") (CONS 2 (STRCAT "`*U*" blst)) '(410 . "Model")))) (FOREACH i blklst (MAPCAR '(LAMBDA (x)(IF (NOT (EQ i (VLA-GET-EFFECTIVENAME (VLAX-ENAME->VLA-OBJECT (CADR x)))))(SSDEL (CADR x) ss) ) ) (SSNAMEX ss)) ) ) (WHILE (SETQ Ent (SSNAME ss 0)) (SETQ BlkName (CDR (ASSOC 2 (ENTGET Ent)))) (IF(SETQ tempList (ASSOC BlkName EndList)) (SETQ EndList (SUBST (CONS BlkName (1+ (CDR tempList))) tempList EndList))(SETQ EndList (CONS (CONS BlkName 1) EndList)) ) (SSDEL Ent ss) ))
The other code is long and I'd rather not confuse things; if I do not try to filter out any Unames, then everything works great and fast. Once I add in the "foreach i blklst" the code breaks and I get:
; error: null interface pointer: #<VLA-OBJECT 0000000000000000>
returned.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Filter If SSGet Is Empty
Jan 23, 2013I wonder if I have to check if the "ssget" is empty.
I have a lisp to zoom extents in visible objects on the screen.
My interest is to filter before applying:If I have selected objects, it zooms in these objects. If I'm not have selected objects, continue as it is today, applying a zoom in the visible scene.
The result would be similar to a zoom of "3dsmax" (press the Z key)
The atual code
(defun c:ZOBJECTS(/ selectprev)(SETQ selectprev (SSGET "_P"))(command "._UCS" "View")(command "._zoom" "extents")(command ".__zoom" "object" "cross" "-1e99,-1e99" "1e99,1e99" "")(command "._UCS" "previous")(command "._select" selectprev ""))
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: SSGET Filters - Isolate Portion Of DXF 10
Jun 28, 2012Is there any way to isolate an item in a list for a filter? I'm setting a filter for SSGET and know that I can use the dotted pairs and I know I can use logical comparisions but what I really want to do is filter a single varialbe in the DXF group 10. For example, I'd like to only get entities with a specific Z value in DXF 10. Or even better to filter for a specified range of Y value or X value in DXF 10. If I could write something like (cons 10 (list * * 8.0)) where the asterisks were wild cards, that would do it but I'm not aware of such a wildcard. Is there any way to isolate a portion of DXF 10 in the filter?

Apr 20, 2012I have some strings like the ones below. They are always in the same format. The first line is Cold Water, the second is Hot Water and the third is Hot Water Return.
I want to build a selection set based on whether it is CW, HWS or HWR. Right now I have a routine to retrieve the string by using ENTSEL. In other words if I want to use the line of text for Cold Water I have to select it.
I'd like to be able to window them all and filter the SS for only the string containing CW and conversly HWS and HWR. SSGET function filter.
"2''CW-52.0 WSFU"
"2''HWS-48.0 WSFU+12 GPM"

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: SSGET For Selecting Multiple Objects
Nov 27, 2012I have this code that I wrote years ago that I want to update to select two types of civil3d objects and show them selected with grips on the screen. This function works fine
(defun CELFEATURE ()
(ssget "_X" '((0 . "AECC_FEATURE_LINE")))
(setq sset (ssget "P"))
(if sset
(progn
(sssetfirst sset sset)
;(command "_.PROPERTIES")
)
)
)
(defun cF () (CELFEATURE))
but if I add the extra object like this which I assume is the wrong syntax i only get the second type of objects. Need correct syntax I should be using for selecting more than one object in an ssget statement.
(defun CELFEATURE ()
(ssget "_X" '((0 . "AECC_FEATURE_LINE","AECC_AUTO_CORRIDOR_FEATURE_LINE")))
(setq sset (ssget "P"))
(if sset
(progn
(sssetfirst sset sset)
;(command "_.PROPERTIES")
)
)
)
(defun cF () (CELFEATURE))

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Using SSGET To Select A Block To Move It
Feb 3, 2012I'm having an issue with using the SSGET to select a block so I can move it. I'm changing the UCS to be at the center of the top view in the program(user selects center) and the block is at 0,0,0 after changing the UCS. However when I use SSGET it doesn't select it. So I used:
(setq en(car (entsel "
Select a block :")))(setq enlist(entget en))
and it lists the DXF Code of 10 as
(10 15.0893 13.5165 0.0)
How can I then select it if I don't necessarily know where the block is going to be?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Retrieve (2) Attribute Values From One Block
Aug 24, 2011Here's my situation:
I have a block named "WIDGET-A". And in that block are (4) attribute tags whose names are:
"ID"
"TAG01"
"TAG02"
"TAG03"
The user will be prompted to pick the value displayed at any of the "TAG##" attributes - they will select the attribute tag they want (we don't know which one it is, we just want to assign that value of the attribute tag they clicked on to a variable called "VAR2".
Now, what we also want AutoCAD to evaluate, behind the scenes, is the value of the attribute tag named "ID" which we know always exists in the block and then assign that value to a variable called "VAR1".
Is there a way for AutoCAD to do this all from only a single user pick on top of an attribute value, in a block whose name isn't always going to be 'WIDGET-A' either.... But the block, whatever it's name, will always have the attribute tag "ID" with a value in it, and we always want to capture the value of whatever attribute tag within the block that the user clicked on.

Oct 9, 2013I'm trying to find acceptable point values to feed to the vlax-3d-point function for a vla-addmtext function. With vanilla lisp I just provide the point as x y = "7/32" "2-3/8". So I assumed that I could drop a 0 in for the z like: (VLAX-3D-POINT "7/32" "2-3/8" 0).
Then I thought I was going to be tricksy and try (vlax-3D-point (getpoint)) believing that I could pick the point and get what I need to feed the function, but yet again, no deal. The command line gave me:
node
of #<variant 8197 ...>
Nothing I can use in my code. So how do I find the point in a format that vlax-3d-point will like?
