How to save my workspace and load onto another machine? Both systems are running AutoCad 2011 and may soon change to 2012.
I figured out how to customize the ribbon and panels, and I even customized my shortcut menus. I then created my Workspace and "Saved As". Now how do I get this workspace loaded onto my Laptop with a seperate AutoCad License?
I have a bunch of discipline specific menu files as partial cui's to my enterprise menu. I don't want to show them all, as some users may not need them all. What I would like to have is a menu item
Load Menus ->
Civil
Electrical
Mechanical
Structural
and when they click on one of them the relevant menu file is made visible in the current workspace. Is there a simple way to do this?
I am unable to find the "Ribbon Combo Box - Workspace" to our 2013 MEP or ACA CUI. It is visible in vanilla AutoCAD 2013, but it isn't listed in the Command List (under Ribbon Control Elements). I am unable to transfer it from AutoCAD's cuix either. We typically have this control in our Quick Access Toolbar, but I am unable to create this same environment in the 2013 verticals.
I am unable to see it even using one of the default profiles, like "AutoCAD Architecture (US Imperial)".
I meet problem with autocad OEM, I don't know how to load arx in autocad OEM, I'm using visual stuido 2008 sp1 for building example arx and then i will load it in autocad OEM. I use command "arx" to load it, but it not work.I have a list arx files, i want it auto load list arx files when i start autocad OEM.I can't the way for it. i'm using AutoCAD OEM 2011.
View 5 Replies View Relatedi had my enterprise CUI working fine, and then one day it blew up and now everyone gets an error that autocad is trying to load acetmain.cui but it's already loaded. do i need to load acetmain.cui as a partial cui? i figured that i did, but then why does acad try to load it twice?
so i have the enterprise cui loading the acetmain as a partial. when the users log in, the enterprise cui is in loaded AS their enterprise cui in the Support Paths but then they load their own custom cui as the Main cui on their individual workstations. THIS cui ALSO is loading the acetmain. i think that's where the conflict is.
if that's the case, should i just give out instructions on how to remove the acetmain from their personal "custom" cui? it seems that if i take acetmain out of the enterprise cui, that the entire menu disappears from teh individual workstations.
A lot of the LISP routines we use turn off all snaps except the "nearest" snap when the routine is complete.
I draw with 6 out of the 10 snaps on (not the nearest).
LISP routine that loads specific object snaps?
I open the drawing without loading the function, when I modify an object with the reactors appears the following error message:
function definition: NAMEFUNCTION
You can avoid this annoying message without removing the persistent reactors?
We have stored lisp in fileserver which 30 users can access it. Now a day some users have getting the ‘failed to open project’ error after load the Lisp due to this they r also not getting most of the commands. The full rights have been given to appropriate folder which contains (Autolisp application source file, .vlx, Autocad VBA source). It has working for limited users (8-10 users).
Server OS: Windows server 2008
Note: Previously we had used windows server 2003.
If my windows login name is HSIMPSON and i have created HSIMPSON.lsp in a Supported Directory, how do I load that Lisp file via the command line?
I have tried:
(load "loginname")
but that doesn't work because the 'load' command seems to want an explicit name, not a variable name.
I am wanting to get a separate block to load if a third number is entered when prompted. If enter is hit or only 2 of the numbers are entered, load the other block. I couldn't even get it to do right by even equaling a specific number.

On the 2013 machine when I click the "Load Active Edit Window" button it switches to the console screen but there are no messages printed like:
$
; 37 forms loaded from #<editor "C:/LISP/My-Lisp.lsp">
_$
This of course is making it extremely difficult to debug. I have checked the environment settings and they are exactly the same on each machine. The AC2009 machine prints the messages but the AC2013 machine is just giving me a blank console screen.
I am trying to save a *.DWG file to *.DXF format. The DXF file is created, but when i tried to open the same DXF file in AutoCAD,it is showing as "not a Valid DXF file".
Code :
// Open *.DWG file
Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.Open("....abc.dwg",true);
// Save to *.DXF format
Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database.Saveas("....def.dxf",Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.DwgVersion.Current);
// Close and discard changes,if any
Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.CloseAndDiscard();
When i used the save as command in Autocad, it is showing different dxf file formats(AutoCAD 2010 DXF,AutoCAD 2007 /LT 2007 DXF etc..). How to save in particular DXF format. If possible give me a sample C# code for this.
I am new autolisp user (i use autocad civil 3D 2012), i try to coding there but it doesn't have "save" option. How to save the file i've made?

View 4 Replies View RelatedRoutine to select DWG files in a folder and save these files in DXF format?
1) Select files in folder;
2) Open select files, save each in dxf format; If there is already a dxf file with the same name, replace.
3) Close files.
how do i save my parameters to defaults?
each time i create a sectioonplane i have to change hatch type , scale , and other things .
how to write a lisp command, or function, that will save my newly created drawing with a file name is that is called up from a variable.
For example:
(setq filename variable)
(command "saveas" "r14" "filename")
and i would want the outcome to be: variable.dwg, rather than filename.dwg. I have tried numerous different ways of doing this with command prompt and cant seem to get anything to stick. Everything that works just creates a file named "filename.dwg", which is not what i want to do.
I need to save an additional copy of a AutoCAD drawing whenever I press the save button.
Simply put, Every time I press save the autocad drawing is saved (Obviously!!!) but
I also need to save an exact copy of the drawing in a folder called (for eample only) "C:TestFolder"
I can do this using DxfOut for dxf files but I need to do this for dwg files.
Can it be done whenever I press the "save" button.
I need to find a way to find a good replacement for "SAVE" command to use it within Reactor. I want to save A COPY of my current ("active") DWG document to another place *without making it current* (just like command "SAVE" does and did it always). I know I could use (vla-saveAs ...) to save it first to another Folder and then use (vla-save ...) to save it back to its current Folder, but there must be a way to do it simply and fast.

I am trying to open a file read the contents and save it to a list.
Here is the code I have so far, but it doesn't even get into the foreach statement.
(setq layerslist (list '"0list" '"detaillist" '"clearancelist" '"clearanceelist" '"doorsdrawerslist" '"hiddenlist" '"hiddenelist" '"deletelist"))(setq count 0)(foreach thislayer layerslist (setq f (open (strcat "C:\filterlists\" thislayer ".txt") "r")) (while (/= (setq text (read-line f)) nil) (setq (read thislayer) (cond ( (= 0 count) (cons (cons 8 text) (read thislayer)))( (append (read thislayer) (list (cons 8 text))) ) );cond );setq (setq count (+ count 1)) );while (close f) );foreach
I've also attached one of the text files. Im doing something in the wrong order, or I have something inside the wrong set of parenthesis.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a lisp that will allow me to do a continuous dimension, but will alternate the dimension position from low, high, low and high? If there is no lisp already created, how to create one?
See Continuous dimension attachment for example.
I work at a glass and glazing company and this is how we dimension mullion width and DLO. See typical window dimensioning attachment for window elevation with dimensions.
I have a list ("temp.dwg" "temp2.dwg") and would like to add the string "insert text here" into each item in the list resulting in ("insert text heretemp.dwg" "insert textheretemp2.dwg"). how would i go about doing that using LISP?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to programatically set a visual style before a drawing actually opens?
We have some huge models and people seem to forget to change their visual styles back to 2D wireframe before saving and exiting drawings. Some models will crash on some workstations when trying to open in a rendered mode.
I found a lisp with a function that looked to set viewport visual styles. But it does not seem to be supported anymore. --> (vla-put-VisualStyle vport 1)
I'm trying to write a lisp routine that, when I invoke the mleader command, osmode is set to "nearest" & orthomode is set off. I then would like the original settings to be returned.

I am trying to find a lisp that would get an attribute value (tag name = NBR_5) . I'm trying to run a simple routine that would let the user place the value from the titleblock attribute as text on a drawing. I see a ton of articles regarding getting attributes but I am not well versed in programming.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'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?
