AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Layer Description In Script File?

Aug 13, 2012

I'd like to add Layer descriptions , but I cannot seem to get out of the "D"escription option when the script runs so I get the some crazy descriptions. Is there a special key stroke to get to the next line to "M"ake a layer?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Layer Name And Description As Text In The Drawing?

Nov 14, 2013

is it possible to make a LISP program whcih write down my layer name and description as text or Mtext in the drawing, so it will look like:

A_Wall architecture wall

A_Column architecture column

something like that.Each text, which is written in the drawing should have the same layer like the layer name.

the closest i can get is this code below, which write the layer as text, but what missing is: i want to add the description behind the layer name:

(defun c:layerlegend (/ osm ortho clayer celtype cecolor start-point line-length text-height *error*)
(defun *error* (msg)
(setvar "osmode" osm)
(setvar "orthomode" ortho)
(setvar "clayer" clayer)
(setvar "celtype" celtype)
(setvar "cecolor" cecolor)
(princ msg)
)

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Draw Leader On Layer And Still Remain On Original Layer

Aug 28, 2012

I have a customized button to draw an ‘ac-arrow’.  I created a lisp to create the layer “G-ANNO-LEDR”

if the layer name is not found.  The advanced part I would like is:

Current layer:  E-ANNO-WIRE

Ac-Arrow Leader:  G-ANNO-LEDR

OPTION 1:

If, say I am on current layer “E-ANNO-WIRE” and need to draw my “ac-arrow” leader, and continue working

on the original layer “E-ANN-WIRE”  (and have the leader  be drawn [remain] on the layer “G-ANNO-WIRE”).

With this option, I have the block “ac-arrow” imbedded in my template drawing file to have the block at hand.

With this option, the layer “G-ANNO-LEDR” will be created IF it is not on the drawing.

OPTION 2:

- Currently be on layer “E-ANNO-WIRE”

- Bring in the block “ac-arrow” from my block library “L:AutoCADSymbols”

- Draw the “ac-arrow” leader which will be on layer “G-ANNO-LEDR”   (this layer created IF it is not

  on the current drawing).

- After the leader is drawn’

- Be put back to the layer I was,  “E-ANNO-WIRE”, and continue working.

The OPTION 2 is what I would really like to have.  A while back, I happen to see one like OPTION 2, but I cannot

find it anymore on the users groups.  I have been searching for a while now.

Currently, I use the button in my customized toolbar (see image) and have to have the “ac-arrow” block in my drawing and have its layer created in the drawing.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Script That Assigns Lineweights To Layer Based On Color Of That Layer

Any script that when ran will set lineweights of a layer based on what color the layer is assigned.  For instance if I have 3 lines that are green on 3 different layers. I need the script to change all 3 layers lineweight   to .015mm. I have drawings that are inconsistant with layer names so layer translator and methods of that nature will not work because I do not know all the layer names and I have 100 drawings to do this to.

When selecting any dimension type (from the standard AutoCAD toolbars) i would like it to already be in the layer "dimensions". Currently it starts in layer 0. 

I've been browsing the web a bit and found a lot about it but people are talking about LISP's?? I can do magic things in AutoCAD but i am a complete stranger to LISP's, Macro's, etc... Would like to learn but where to start..

Anyway i can cover this with something else then writing an LISP?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Layer State Delete

Feb 20, 2013

i have a small lisp and i would like for it to:

when i invoke the plot command, it will first check if there is a layer state called "Temp"if "Temp" exists, then delete "Temp", then re-create "Temp", then switch layer state temporariliy to "Plot" to plot the file, and then switch back to the "Temp" layer state againbasically, the "Plot" layer state will be set based on how the drawing(s) will plot. if a user makes changes here-n-there in the drawing, when the user wants to plot, the software will save current state as "Temp", plot using the "Plot" state, and switch back to "Temp" state at the end. all i am trying to achieve is to somehow over-write the "Temp" state. below is the LISP.
 
(command "undefine" "plot")
(defun clot ()
(if (layerstate-has "Temp")
(layerstate-delete “Temp”)
)

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Change Block Layer

Jul 25, 2006

I have been filtering through this descuession group for a whil this morning looking for what I need and have found somethings that are close but haven't managed to change them a little to do what I am wanting..

I have drawings with a block named UG101 and has been inserted on all sort of different layers.

What I would like to do is run a lisp routine that would select all blocks with the name UG101 and put them on the layer CableInfo.

I have many other blocks that i need to do the same to but with different names, so I was hoping, I could change the lisp routine around to do the rest of the blocks in the drawing..

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Command / If Layer Is Frozen

Mar 29, 2012

I have a  Layer named "Arch - Niveau 1".I would like to enter in the command prompt  "a1"..It would read if the layer is frozen or thawed and if it is frozen, it will thaw it?

And if the layer is thawed, it would freeze it..What could be added is: To check up if the layer exists and if not, create it.Would do the same for 2 other layer named "Arch - Niveau 2" command "a2"   and  "Arch - Niveau 3" command "a3". Is it clear?Now the lisp I've found and modified is this:

(defun c:a1 (/ lay ldef flag) (setq layn "Arch - Niveau 1") (command "_.LAYER") (if (not (tblsearch "LAYER" layn)) (command "_Make" layn) (progn (setq ldef (tblsearch "LAYER" layn) flag (cdr (assoc 70 ldef))) (and (= (logand flag 1) 1) (command "_Thaw" layn)) )) (command ""))
 This lisp looks if it exists, if not, create it and only thaw the layer.

I'm not enough familiar with the "not", the "progn" the "flag", "and" and "logand"  (!!!!)

Is it possible to manage attribute's layer in multileader?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Select Layer By Color

Aug 28, 2011

I am interested in a program that can select layers by its color, and then change those layers to a different color and add a prefix of Z- in front of those layers.

Example:

Layer Names:   Layer Color:   New Layer Names:   New Layer Color:
Wall                         2                    Z-Wall                       100
Berm                       2                     Z-Berm                     100
Fence                     2                     Z-Fence                   100

I found a program (below) that works pretty close to what I am looking for but not quite.

;;;  Change the color of a layer to another color by Jeff Mishler July 9, 2003
;;;  Usage - (lay_col_chg oldcolor newcolor
;;;  example: Command: (lay_col_chg 142 100)

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Dimension Color By Layer

Oct 20, 2011

As a consultant we grey out architectural backgrounds for our sheets. We use the SetByLayer command to change the color of the objects in our sheets to gery out. The issue is with dimsensions. Dimension Line Color, Extension Line Color, and Text Color are all set at By Block as default and no one ever bothers to change it unless they are setting it to a specific color which is even more of a problem for us. You can edit the properties of an existing dimension and set Dim Line Color, Ext Line Color, and Text Color to by layer, I am looking for a way to automate this. Something that can search through a drawing, grab all the dimensions (even in blocks) and set everything by layer.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Moving Objects To Different Layer Is Slow

Nov 26, 2013

I find that the command to move objects to a different layers runs very slow in one of the drawing.  I want to find out what wrong with the drawing and how to speed things up.

I have a LISP program that batch processes a large number of drawings.  One of the step to process each drawing is to change the colors of some objects according to the status of the objects.  I do this by moving the objects to a later that has the right color.  So far the program only takes 2 to 4 minutes to process each drawing.  But the program takes close to 90 minutes to process one specific drawing.  I track down the problem has to do with the command that moves the objects to the right layer, like this:
 
(vl-cmdf "_.chprop" (ssget) "" "_layer" "ABC-Prod-Good-Pcs" "")

 This command takes a very long time to finish, like 40 minutes each time it runs (to move 1200+ objects), and the program needs to run it twice for a total of approximately 80 minutes.

Please note that the drawing itself is not the largest drawing, and it doesn't have the largest number of objects to be moved either.  It is close to the top-5 drawings in term of drawing size and the number of objects to be moved. I cannot say that the drawing size or the number of objects to be moved are the cause of the problem.

I tried to "speed up" by moving 200 objects incrementally.  That didn't work. I tried to "speed up" by moving 100 objects incrementally and saving the drawing after each 100 objects are moved.  That didn't work either; actually the speed is slightly slower than simply moving 1200+ objects all at once.

I don't know what to do.  I believe there may be something unusual about that drawing.  By the way, the reason why I choose to change color by moving objects to a different layer has to do with the fact that I have found this is the best way so far. I tried to change the color of the objects directly.  But I find that the color of some sub-parts of the objects are not changed (because their color is by-layer). That's why I choose to change color by moving objects to a different layer.

How I can check the drawing, any different way to change color that is better.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Change Block Layer After Insertion

Mar 7, 2013

wondering if is possible to have a lisp routine to:After use the INSERT command, the routine will automatically change the layer of the inserted block to a specific layer according of its name.

i.e.

Step 1 : I will insert a block named Block A using the normal autocad INSERT command (I do not want to insert the block without the Insert window dialog box)

Step 2 : After the insertion, the routine will select the last insertion (or the last object, or any other best way to select this block and will take it's name)

Step 3 : The routine has a list that says:

(If the last insertion (or object) is named Block A, put it in the layer Layer A with color Bylayer and linetype Bylayer)             

(If the last insertion (or object) is named Block B, put it in the layer Layer B with color Bylayer and linetype Bylayer)

and so on... I can make the approprieated list by myself folowing my standards.

I think it will be nice to avoid an error if the block is not in the list. So:

(If the last insertion (or object) name is not in the list, do nothing)

To finish, it will be nice to create the layer if it does not exist. Also, Unlock, Thaw and Turn on the layer if it's Locked, Frozen or Off.
