Dec 5, 2007Is there any way to grab the Object ID or name from a layout tab to use in a field?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Find Offset Origin Of Layout
May 8, 2013I want to know the correct way to find the offset origin of a layout in an AutoCAD drawing. Let say I have a drawing that has many items on it. And I create a layout showing just the items in the lower right corner of the drawing. I want to know the offset origin of this layout relative to the Model space.
I came across some LISP commands that are supposed to do just that:
(vl-load-com)(setq activelayout (vlax-get (vla-Get-ActiveDocument (vlax-Get-Acad-Object)) 'ActiveLayout ))(setq activeplotorig (vlax-get activelayout 'PlotOrigin))
Unfortunately, the commands don't seem to work because it always returns (0.0 0.0). That cannot be right.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Select All Viewports In Drawing / Get Name Of Layout
Sep 29, 2013I need to select all the viewports in the drawing and to make some changes with them, I'm planning to select them all with ssget command. If I do that I will have one viewport for the paperspace itself in every layout. One of my question is, how to know which viewport is the paperspace itself?
Second question is, how to get the name of layout in which one is the viewport? It is important to me that the lisp is really fast, so I'm planning to do the most of stuffs with vla commands.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: True Coordinates Start And End Of Layout Page

(command “mview” ‘(0 0 0) ‘(297.5 210 0))
However as you will note 0,0,0 is not the very edge corner of my layout (white area) and my white area is smaller then 297.5x 210mm (standard A4 landscape size)
How to obtain the exact measurements and starting coordinates to fully fill my entire layout page (white area)?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Get List Of Layout Tabs Without Vla Or Layoutlist Functions?

Also, need a way to check Effective name of dynamic blocks without vl-, vla- or vlax- funs also.

Oct 12, 2012I have a drawing with various layouts that when I do a Zoom Extents the drawings is reduced to the size of a point.
I have done all the usual, ie: look for extra entities that are "out in space" so to speak and there are none.
I wonder if I have a block or image which may have an insertion point "out in space" and if this may be the issue.
Is there some way to Select all entities or Blocks (insertion point) that may exist outside a particular area ie: drawing limits.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Open Xref In Selected Layout And Zoom To Match View?
May 28, 2013I have used Autocad since 1991, and my current job required me to use Microstation. One feature I liked from Microstaiton is the ability to select and open an external DGN reference, and then match the view of the parent DGN. In AutoCAD, you can also select and open an xref, but the DWG opens to the previous saved view, and not to the desired view that matches the layout.
My thought was to experienting with lisp or scipt and export the "Viewctr", "Viewtwist" and "Viewsize" variables to a text file, then importing the text file and using the "Viewtwist" as my "SNAPANG" value, then "Viewctr" as my "ZOOM, CENTER" value, and finally the "Viewsize" as the "Enter magnification or height:" value.
But, alas, have no time, and not quite the knowledge to duplicate MicroStation's open-xref-and-zoom-to-view feature.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Auto Update Of XY Coord In Model Space Onto Paper Space (Layout Tab) Block
Nov 5, 2013I've tried doing a block that automatically updates the X and Y coordinates from its moveable leader. I can get it to work in model space or paper space. But my problem is I want it to work in PS, but update with the MS coordinates through the viewport.
I can get it to update, by LISP, by picking a point and passing the points to the blocks attributes. At the moment I have a LISP when actioned it locks the viewports, activates the viewport, and asks you to select a point. Once selected it de-activates the viewport (going back into layout tab) then asks which block you want to update. Where you now select the block and it updates the coordinates. I.e. manually pick the point in MS, switch to PS and then manually pick the block. Then I have to manually modify the leader to the correct location.
I'm hoping that I can (In PS) move the end of the leader to snap to a position in MS and the coord updates to reflect the correct MS coordinates. I'm thinking that maybe this can't be done automatically and that I maybe can move the leader but I'm not sure how I can do it without running a LISP to update the block?
I'd be happy moving the leader then just running a single command and the leader coordinates updating without having to select the points and the block again.
I've attached the block showing the auto update of the attributes (fields).
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Continuous Dimension Lisp That Alternate Its Position
