I am looking to modify a block count lisp, the lisp counts the blocks and displays them in the command line. I am looking to take that list and insert it in to a leader.
So it will prompt me to select blocks.
1st Point of leader
2nd point of leader
and would generate the block list in the leader annotation.
I need to write some code to count blocks inserted on the drawing.... I want to count also dynamic blocks... most of the time dynamic blocks are anonymous... so I'd need to check the Effective Name.
This line gets the blocks in the block table...
... but how do I get the blocks actually inserted in the dwg?
(setq blks (vla-get-blocks odoc))
Will a regular lisp expressions (like below) work with ObjectDBX... (drawing file not open)?
(setq ss (ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "INSERT")(cons 2 "`*U*"))))
lisp to count dynamic block including total length.

(setq edata (entget (entlast)))

What I'd like to do is add a horizontal segment of a known length to the leader, obviously based on the last point. I have to assume that the user is in the appropriate UCS for this, but I can trouble shoot for that later.
subst old list iwth a new list and apply it to the entity somehow?
I'm trying to create a leader with no attachments. Code below. But I can't seem to shut of the Annotation Dialog.
(setvar "cmddia" 0)
(vl-cmdf ".Qleader" "S" "A" "N" pt1 pt2 "" )
Also I am trying to create a leader with text that is aligned and above the leader line.
Is this something that is possible? Basically I have an excel file with sample data that comes coded (red background for fail, Green for pass) Then we transfer that into halos on a DWG. got a routine to count the halos in a DWG. Now I was thinking it would be nice if it compared the number to the excel file to make sure no mistakes were made when placing the halos.
So as I mentioned I've seen rountines to read data in cells but none to count cells based on colour.
Here's my Lisp routine.
(defun c:ll() (errorek) (setq akt_lay(getvar "clayer")) (setq akt_dimldrblk(getvar "dimldrblk")) (setvar "clayer" "ELEMENTS_NO") (setvar "dimldrblk" "_DOTSMALL") (command "qleader") (setvar "clayer" akt_lay) (setvar "dimldrblk" akt_dimldrblk) (setvarki) )
(defun setvarki() (setvar "Filedia" filedia) (setvar "osmode" osmode) (setvar "orthomode" orthomode) (setvar "autosnap" autosnap) (setvar "cmdecho" cmdecho) (setvar "dimse1" dimse1) (setvar "dimsd1" dimsd1) (setvar "dimjust" dimjust) (setvar "dimldrblk" dimldrblk) );defun

What am I going to do?
1. I want to have default leader arrow - "closed filled".
2. In lisp routine from "code 1" I want to put leader (actualy leader without text) with arrow "dotSmall".
3. When I press [Esc] during drawing leader I want to set up back default leader head as "closed filled".
Why my routine doesn't work properly?
Code to convert a spline or read its points so I can create a curved leader (with arrowhead) reasonably close ?

Is there a way to modify the text insertion point of multileaders using lisp? We have a problem with some of our multileaders getting a landing distance set to a negative value. My lisp routine will correct these to a default value, but then the text jumps a bit. If I could get the insertion point prior to changing the landing distance then I could restore that point after changing the landing distance.

I get an AutoCAD drawing from my conveyor manufacturer who have buried a block (tagname) in all of their conveyor blocks.
The only way to remove them is to manually use BEDIT and erase the tagname block.
Is there a way through Autolisp to search all blocks in a drawings and if the tagname block is part of the definition of the conveyor block, erase the tagname block or redefine the conveyor block without the tagname block.
When dynamic blocks are inserted they're assigned an anonymous block name. I'd like to be able to retrieve the name of the parent block after selecting the block on screen using AutoLisp.
Need a bit of code that handles this?
Create a routine that looks for a block based on a portion of that block name, using a specified path or search path.
For example, block to search for is BLOCKABC123, so if someone inputs ABC or 123 as a block name, it will locate that block within that folder and inserts it into the drawing at a user specified location.
Ideally, if there is a check in that if it finds more than one match, then perhaps it flags or prompts you to choose 1, 2, or 3 option which block to use. But I can live without this special function if it requires too much time to code.
I need to match few attribute values from one block to different block. I download a lisp file called; ca.lsp which can match the single attribute value. I modified it for more than one attribute value matching. It is ok but still wish to overcome two issues for batch prcess
1. picking up the blocks by selection
2. click the alternative block numbers of times to match the numbers of attribute values I needed.
How to modify this lisp I can run it by block name selections instead of picking selection which enable me to run batch process for numbers of drawing? That will be good...
Lisp & Demo file attached (Match attribute value, A, B & C to Attribute 1, 2 & 3).
I am learning autolips and i found a problem that i can´t solved.

wich this code you select one block and insert one point at insert point´s block.
which this other code yo select all block and insert all point.... but in one block
(vl-load-com) (defun c:pmb11 ( / sele cod bloque nbloque lista pt ) (prompt "

I have a block that i want to insert several times and revised each one to be different to do this i would have to insert it and rename the blocks that come in and then reinsert i would like to insert and have a lisp explode the main block and rename the other 2 blocks with a suffix at the end depending on how many times its in the drawing... can this even be done? My original block name that will be first inserted is "BENT PULLEY NOTES" it needs to explode after i drop it in and then there are 2 blocks within that called "Bent Pulley" and "Bent Pulley DYN" that i was hoping to keep the names but add a number at the end depending on how many are in the drawing already...
here is a lisp that i have found... it would work if i didn't have nested blocks and only wanted the one block to be insert and not explode...
(defun c:Test (/ e i name Bname )
(setq e nil)
(command "_.-insert" "Drawing1.dwg" pause "" "" "")
(if (setq e (entlast))

I have a dwg with 40 blocks that have a non-annotative property. I can go through 1 by 1 and change the property to annotative and redefine the block. Is it possible to automate this? I have done some google searches but have not found anything I am able to cut and paste or put together to get it to work.

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.
I am trying to select all blocks of a certian name. I am using the following:
(setq ss1bk (ssget "_X" (list (cons 2 blkname))))
My issue is that this will not select any dynamic or attribute blocks that are not at the default insert state.
how to select all of a block by name including reguardless of current state?
I have a routine that counts dynamic blocks by visibility state and stores that information then prompts for scale and color and stores that information. Then a legend begins to build from the data and a collection of blocks to reflect the dynamic blocks and their visibility state. Everything works great on all of the machines around the office except on one. When the legend begins building, the one user is getting the DDATTE dialog instead of allowing the values to populate as expected. So, I had him change ATTREQ to 0 an run again. No deal, the same thing happens again and again. And; it only occurs on the one machine.

MyProblem: after I insert the block “NrPunct” in my drawing ,, I cannot modify "textHeight", when I edit the ATTDEF (or attribute) with the command “DDEDIT” . Why?
You see my arrow in the picture pozamea.jpg…
We have a block contain 10 attibs to be seen with 8 differents scales making 80 attribs! (We use that before Annotative features). When we edit this block, we have a LISP that ask for the 10 avlues, and copy it for all the scale.
This lisp use the block ename in argument.
We start to use that block with MLEADER, but we can not edited with our lisp (can not find the ename of the block in the MLEADER definition ).
Is that a way to find this ename, and to be able to modify (our substitute) all the attributes value.
I need to delete a specific block from current opened drawing by LISP command.
for example removing XREF attached is very easy:
(COMMAND "-XREF" "D" "FRAME")
I can remove "FRAME" XREF from drawing. Now, I want to delete a/all block with "TB12" name with same action!
(command "BlockDelete" "TB12")
so, how can I delete a/all block with specific name in current drawing?
