AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Loading A Particular Net Assembly
Jan 23, 2013how to program in lisp. I have a master lisp routine that runs when Autocad is opening. I have some computers running Autocad 2010 and others with Autocad 2012 and from the master lisp routine (which is the same) I need to load a net assembly (one for Autocad 2010 or another for Autocad 2012).
I was thinking to query for Autocad version and if it is Autocad 2010, then load the first dll, or if it is Autocad 2012 then load the second dll, but I don't know how to do this in lisp.

Apr 7, 2012I have some legacy menus that are quite large. I have tried to create a new workspace, and that seemed to work o.k.
UNTIL I used menuload to try to load the old menu. At the point all the defualt workspaces were wiped out somehow.
I would like to have access to both the default workspaces and then also by switching to a custom workspace, my legacy menus.

Nov 9, 2011We have been using Custom profiles for many years. We have always had issues that just after we install, we have to reload the custom profile to get it in place. When I say reload, I mean we launch the program the first time with a /p <profile name>. (The path to our custom profile is in the string launch string.) Seems to default to a random profile, or something we don't recognize. The process here is we are pushing out installs to 200 users and don't want each user to set one of the defaults current, delete our custom one, reload our custom one and set it current.
Once the profile is loaded the next times opening all is well. Because, of course, it was last used.
What am I missing or misunderstanding? We see the profile exists in the registry before we reload. The custom profile we use is an export.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Loading Cuix From Bundle When User Is Not Administrator
Jun 5, 2013We are using .cuix file which gives access to tools in custom .arx file in AutoCAD 2012/2013. We load the menu using the .bundle mechanism and the plug-in - using button from the menu. If the user is Administrator (or executes AutoCAD as Administrator) the menu, toolbars and ribbons are loaded correctly and the user can load and unload the application (lisp function in .mnl file is used for that), but if the user is not an administrator either the menu, toolbars and ribbons are not correctly loaded or they are loaded, but the user can not load the application.
We have found that a probable cause for this behaviour is that AutoCAD tries to create/renew the .mnr file when first loading a .cuix file and since the user has no administrator rights this can't be done in the "C:Program FilesAutodeskApplicationPlugins" folder where the bundle is and AutoCAD creates the .mnr file in its own support folder ("C:Users<User>AppDataRoamingAutodeskAutoCAD 2012R18.2...Support") together with a copy of the .cuix file and changes the path for loading the .cuix file to this location. Since the .mnl file containing the function for loading/unloading is not copied with the .cuix file the application can not be loaded.
The user has to delete the created files under the support path of AutoCAD, unload the .cuix file and then reload it from the correct location to resolve the problem. Restarting AutoCAD leads to the same problem.
Is there a way to prevent this behavior other then running AutoCAD as administrator (that is not always an option)?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Convert DGN Files To DWG Files?
Feb 8, 2013I want to convert my DGN files to DWG files.
So I write this code in LISP:
(defun C:Batch_DGN2DWG (/path dgnfile SDI_Mode) (setq path "C:\DGN\" ;;Default path for DGN files location. DGNIMPORTMODE 0 ;;Imports the DGN file in a new drawing file. SDI_Mode SDI ;;Save Current SDI MODE SDI 1 ;;SET Single Drawing Mode for AutoCAD. );;setq (foreach dgnfile (vl-directory-files path "*.DGN" 1) (progn (command "-dgnimport" (strcat path dgnfile) "" "" "" "y" (strcat path dgnfile ".DWG")) (delay 100) );;progn );;foreach (setq SDI SDI_Mode) ;;restrore SDI Mode to previous value.)
but I can't finish it!
I attached some DGN files for test purpose.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Avoid DCL Files
Apr 23, 2012I am running autocad 2011 for mac to design sails. I was given a autolisp file that will automate the majority of the process, but it uses a .dcl file to input all the numbers. Unfortunately .dcl files are not support with the Mac version and therefore I am looking for any solutions.
- Is there another way to input the information and therefore link the lsp file to something different?
- Is it easy to re-write the lisp file and input directly into that?
At the moment the time I am wasting researching how to make the .lsp program work, I could have hand drawn most of the sails anyway!

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Multiple Files Same Attribute In All
Jul 5, 2012i 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 RelatedAutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Script On Multiple Files
Feb 7, 2012I have a lisp routine that gathers all xrefs from the current drawing and creates a script that opens each xref, runs specific commands then saves/closes each drawing. Once all commands have been ran in each xref I would like the script to reload all xrefs in the original drawing that the script was called from. I have a reload-all lisp that is already loaded in all of my drawings but for some reason when this command is called at the end of the script it will not run.
Is there a way to have the script continue to run in the original drawing that it was called from? Or maybe even pass control back to the lisp that created/called the script? Its seems to me that the easiest thing would be to have the script continue to run after it has gone through all of the specified drawings but this is not working.

My question is If I replace the file with the next one above and the filetime,filepinned and class respectively. When I reach the end of the list can I just use "" for the file,filetime and class and integer 0 for filepinned (it looks like it requires a double).

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Reading .xlsx Files And Modifying A Block?
Feb 7, 2013Is it possible to write an AutoLISP script to read an .xlsx file and use the data in the various cells to modify a block within a .dwg?
Ex.: We use Flow Control Modules (FCMs) and use AutoCAD Electrical to show electrical contractors where/how to wire up the devices. In AutoCAD, we have blocks for various types of FCMs, and each block has terminals which are tagged DESCA1, DESCA2, DESCA3, etc. Each of these tags will change based on what the particular FCM is used for.
We also have .xls(x) files we call FCM Maps, which come from our engineers and tell the drafters how to lay out the .dwg files.
Is it possible to write a LISP script to take, say, cell A1 from the .xlsx file, and put that data into DESCA2 in the block, cell A2 into DESCA3, and so on?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Routine That Opens Multiple Script Files
Aug 9, 2013Is there a way to have a Lisp Routine open multiple script files?
I have 10 types of scripts, that are specific to the type of file they open (as shown below). which simply open a file, purge/audit, save and close.
open "Q:PROJECTS321700Field ManagementCoordinationElectricalSleeving613321700_ES-613-Lev01.dwg"audit y-purge all * n-purge R * naudit yqsavecloseopen "Q:PROJECTS321700Field ManagementCoordinationElectricalSleeving613321700_ES-613-Lev02.dwg"audit y-purge all * n-purge R * naudit yqsaveclose The file above was named ES-613.
I would like to create a Lisp Routine that opens this script, *Some how closes the file*, and then opens another script.
For example:(defun c:Audit-Purge ()(command ".SCRIPT" "O:/Users/Kurt N/Script/Novartis/NovartisPURGE/ES-615.scr")(PROMPT "ES-615 Done.")(princ)(command ".SCRIPT" "O:/Users/Kurt N/Script/Novartis/NovartisPURGE/ES-613.scr")(PROMPT "ES-613 Done.")(princ)ECT>>....)
