Any LISP routine or another trick to increase an attribute alphabetically?
I have a block whose tag is defaulted to "A". Typically, I will copy this block however many times I need it in a drawing (could be 20 or so). I would like to increase the letter by one, either when I copy it or afterwards when they are all placed.
I have a simple hexagon block with one attribute, i need to be able to copy it and as i do it increases the number by one.
the Block name is note1-2006 the attribute name is NOTENUM. I have tried using some other Lisps but i cant ge them to work. Sometimes i have to put 40 of these on a sketch i hate copying and changing the attribute by one everytime. so it would be nice to copy and as i pick mutliple spots it increase number. Dont know if there is a way to ask user to keep same number or increase. This would save me so much time.
I know how to increment pick points numerically (see below). How is it done alphabetically?
(defun C:test (/ pt# pt) (setq pt# (getint "
Enter number: ")) (while (setq pt (getpoint "
Specify point: " ))(if (/= pt nil) (progn (command "TEXT" "M" pt "" "" pt#) (setq pt# (1+ pt#)) ) ) ) (princ))
I wanna transfer my attribute block values to another attribute text blocks , is there any lisp for that?
Is there a possibility for sum tag values of choice attribute blocks to inside of another attribute text block ?
Background: Someone exploded an attribute block and copied it hundreds of times throughout a project, each time changing the Attribute Tag to match the Value they expected to appear in their drawing. The drawing must be xrefed, so the attribute definitions do not appear.
(There is only 1 attribute in the block.)
Proposed Solutions:
1:AutoLISP routine which copies Tag data from Attribute Definition into Value of Attribute Block:
Prompt-Select Attribute Definition
Copy Tag data
Prompt-Select Attribute Block
Paste data into Value
(Allow repeat to speed workflow)(*PREFERRED*)
2:AutoLISP routine which copies Tag data from Attribute Definition into Default Value and creates a new Block:
Prompt-Select Attribute Definition
Copy Tag data
Paste data into Default Value
Create New Block
(Select Multiple Objects)(Creates tons of new blocks which are messy)
Is there a LISP routine in Civl 3D 2013 that would add a specific numerical amount to text? IE: I have a sewer label as "Top=100.00" and I wanted to add 0.30 to the text so that it reads "Top=100.30".
There used to be an old R14 LISP known as ADDTXT that I used that worked great for this.
I need to increase the size of a fixed dialog box so I do not have to use the horizontal and vertical scroll bars to see the contents, I have included a picture.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.

I have an attributed block called "tp_attributes" and it has and attribute called "OrderNum".
I just want to be able to quickly grab that value.
select all blocks on certain layers in a drawing, check attribute CIRCUIT in each block if it starts with MS then attribute CONTROL = switched. I hope thats clear enough the way
(defun c:control()
(graphscr)
(Setq sc (ssget "X" '((0 . "INSERT")

Say I have a block that contains two attributes, one contains a value that is a number and another contains a value that is letters. I have many of these blocks placed in a drawing, could you create a lisp that would return the sum of the number value and return it to the command line along with the letter value. Something like this:
Sum--------Item
128 RP
389 TD1
2389 SP4
I continue with my problems.....
I get attribute value from block and put it in a list:
(repeat (setq cnt (sslength sset))
(setq attValue (GetAttributeValue (ssname sset i) "tag1"))
(setq attValue2 (GetAttributeValue (ssname sset i) "tag2"))
[Code]...
When I try to put them in a table...
(foreach item lst
(vla-setText mytable
row 0
(last item)
)
(setq row (1+ row))
)
only put one ( attValue2) at column, and i like put 2 values, each one in a column in the same row
i want to select a block and the lisp copies TAG1 into my clipboard (i want to paste it in excel)

I run into some issues where i need to change an attribute based on where a block is located on a drawing. I started this routine to select the block, and then select the text that I want to change the block attribute to. It seems like everything is working up until this point. What I want to do is then replace the first selected with the second selection. How would I go about doing that? here's my code so far:
(defun C:uf ()
(if (setq fuse (nentsel "
Select Fuse Attribute: "))
(progn
(setq en (car fuse))
(setq enlist (entget en))
(setq fuseatt(cdr (assoc 1 enlist)) ) ) )
(if (setq mt(car (entsel "
Select Text: ")))
(progn
(setq enlist2 (entget mt))
(cdr (assoc 1 enlist2))
(setq wiren(cdr (assoc 1 enlist2)) ) ) )
)
Is there any simple code for to sum length of lines which is i am choosing and copying result to chosen attribute tag ?

I am trying to customize AutoCAd for a special domain where attribute values need to have a type. I can have a clean integrated solution by manipulating the acad.dcl or base.dcl .I am using AutoCAD 2012 . I want to extend the " define attribute" and "edit attribute" dialog boxes to promt the user for a value type when they define an attribute .I can't find the definition for these dialog boxes in acad/ base dcl files. Ideally I want to add another tile definition to these dialog boxes .If that is not possible atleast spawn a different dialog box from the "define attribute " dialog box that will collect the value type from the user.

The title block, block name is static. The attribute name is static.
My ultimate goal is to copy the value of one attribute and "paste" that into the value of another attribute, and itterate this through the entire project.
I have a block "MANAGER" with Two Attributes "CETOP" and "CEBOT" I would like a lisp to replace what ever is in those attributes with defined text, for my purposes "Text1" and "Text2". I would like a simple routine that even I can understand so I can apply it to a couple of other lisp projects I have.

significance of extra dxf 1 groups in the entity data of a multiline attribute? I am looking at one for the first time, so I don't know whether or not to expect multiple 1 groups. In the single example I have created there are two and the first one seems to be ignored. Can I count on that being the case all the time? Data for the one I'm looking at follows, and what shows up on the drawing display is only the contents of the second dotted pair with 1 as a key.

From what I can gather the attributes of a MVBlock are on the Viewblocks inside of it.
With LISP, how can I access these attributes to get and set them?
Any routine where I could keep picking on my exit arrow blocks (showing how many persons exiting from each space) one-by-one and the program would add up the numbers. For example I pick on blocks with numbers of 2, 4 & 3 and I would get 9.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have several lisp routines that we have used since release 12 that now dont work in 2012. They all placed blocks with attributes, allowed user to fill in and continued to finish. In 2012 the attribute dialog box does not come up and point information for block placement is filled in the attributes. Is there a system variable that changes dialog boxes in 2012?

i am wondering if it is possible to alter a specific attribute in cca 250 files? I have this template which has like 50-70 attributes,but not all of them are used. 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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow would one modify
(= (cdr (assoc 0 data)) "ATTRIB")
in order to filter for a certain attribute tag named MYTAG
I am working with a custom LISP routine which reports out to a CSV file, an attribute extraction file - but I need my routine to ONLY evaluate blocks which have the MYTAG attribute tag. Then, if it passes that first check, it evaluates another list of Tags within those blocks - a list of tags which I have specified elsewhere in the code.
I am trying to modify my existing code as little as possible, and I think that if I do it at the line (which I've pasted above) - that will "pre-qualify" my selection set....
