I have a parent directory with x-amount of folders contained inside. I say X-amount because I would like to keep adding or deleting folders as time progresses. I want the folders contained within this parent directory do be read into a lisp variable and then be printed to the command prompt till every folder is displayed by name, then the loop may stop.

I am trying to put together a loop to enter a number greater than the previous number entered. Below is my mockup and I just cannot get it.
(defun c:22 () (while (setq d (getreal "
Specify diameter: ")) (setq $d d) (while (if (<= d $d) (progn (prompt "
Specify greater diameter.") (setq d (getreal "
Specify diameter: ")) ) ) ) (setq p1 (getpoint "
Specify point: ")) (command "CIRCLE" p1 d) ))
I am able in lisp to create a command prompt selection menu, easy (see code below).However what I want is for the lisp to be ready to undertake an action UNLESS I select an option.
An example is the offset command wich has a function ready to roll (namely the specify offset distance) "OR" I can interrupt the "specify offset distance" and enter one of the sub options (in the case of offset Through/ Erase/Layer).
My code attempts to offset also, UNLESS the user wishes to specify a distance.
(DEFUN C:loadoffset ();CREATING MENU FOR SUB COMMANDS [GETIT] [GOTIT]...(setq choose (getstring "
Select an option... [1=GET DIST] [2=GOTDIST]: "))(if (or (equal choose "1"))(GETIT))(if (or (equal choose "2"))(GOTIT));TERMINATING SELECTION MENU...)(defun getit ( gotit )(setq MYDIST (getdist "
SELECT A DISTANCE: "))(gotit))(defun gotit ()(command "_offset" MYDIST pause pause"exit"))
When you use shell command and type cmd, command prompt appears and the default location is My Documents. How can i change it to another directory by using only lisp?

We are using a title block and it has an attribute field that links to the file name. Now one of our projects is adding the revision to the CAD file name, but it messes up our drawing sheets.
i.e. It was fine when the CAD file name was 111-A222-ZZ-X-123456.dwg and this would display the complete 111-A222-ZZ-X-123456 in the drawing title.
Now we need to do this, the CAD file name, 111-A222-ZZ-X-123456-001002-A1.dwg and we still need to just show 111-A222-ZZ-X-123456 in the title block, striping away the 001002-A1.
I have a text file with a list of image tile names with their bottom left hand easting and northing see attached. I have a lisp that asks for the name of the image then should insert the image at its coordinate with a predefined scale and rotation but it isn't working so I would like an alternative method to test.

I have a little LISP I have been working on that creates a text object as a "label" for 2D ductwork our company does. It makes a field for the mlinescale as the duct width, combines with user input for duct depth, and prompts user for location to place the text. The routine is functional...however, I would like to tweak two things that I cannot figure out.
First, I would like the command to continue until the user escapes, similar to the "multiple" command in AutoCAD. I have tried adding a while loop to the majority of the routine..which works until the user escapes...then my error handler undoes everything.
Second, when asking for user input, is it possible to ask for user input without a default the first time, but thereafter remember the input as a default?
Below is the code in question...not including error handler, etc. :
(if (= ducttemp nil)(setq ducttemp 12))
(initget 6)
(setq ductdepth (getint (strcat "
Enter duct depth in inches <" (itoa ducttemp) ">, or Esc to end: ")))
(if (= ductdepth nil) (setq ductdepth ducttemp) (setq ducttemp ductdepth))

I've been killing myself with trying to get the following (acet-getvar '("BNS_EDITTIME_TOTAL")) in standard time format
rather than julian and then printing it to a file. I never found a way. So I'm figuring the next best thing is to just run the edittime command and then set a custom variable to report the last line of the command history. Then I can open a file and print it to the file. But alas my skills are lacking.
Im having a little trouble of late understanding how to undertake an action/ command if nil
what i do know id the following:
(setq TESTvar(findfile "acad.lsp"))(alert TESTvar)
this gives me the path of the acad.lsp, that is provided it actually exists, however because the acad.lsp is not compulsory it may indeed not exist meaning that the command prompt would return the NIL value instead of the pathname.
based upon that I would like to create a new acad.lsp file if not found by autocad.
I would like to create a command that will copy a file from one place to another.
I can do it directly from the commandline like this
But when I try and put it in a command macro in the CUI editor like this
^C^C_shell;copy "c:/temp/drawing1.dwg" "g:/temp";
it does not seem to work. It comes up with this on the commandline
but no copy of the file is made.
How can I get this to work without having to write an external file, such as a script or lisp?
Run TIME command and then take the resulting text and save it to a file.
Ideally, the text file should be named based on the drawing name. I know there's ways to write text to a file but I haven't had any luck taking the output of a command and exporting it.
Need a lisp that could dump the values of a list command in a text file placed in a folder C:user121list.txt.

I have a lisp routine that I would like to add to. Right now when running the macro the user is not prompted to "Pick Point On Line" in this example
(command "insert" blk "s" var1 pause pause))
I have added the line
(setq pt1 (entsel "Pick Point On Line "))
(command "insert" blk pt1 "s" var1 pause pause))
but the command doesn't seem to like my PT1 value
BLK and VAR1 are set in another lisp routine.
i am writing something that will draw consecutive lines with a rubberband to be used as a leader from a block's insertion point. this:
(WHILE
(SETQ LN (GETPOINT "
Select Next Point (ENTER to Finish) : "))
(COMMAND "LINE" (GETVAR "LASTPOINT") LN "")
)
works, but does not include the rubber band. i tried:
(WHILE
(SETQ LP (GETVAR "LASTPOINT"))
(SETQ LN (GETPOINT LP "
Select Next Point (ENTER to Finish) : "))
(COMMAND "LINE" LP LN "")
)
which includes the rubberband, but will not exit the loop. The last break source in VLIDE shows that
(GETPOINT LP "
Select Next Point (ENTER to Finish) : ") is casuing an error. Placing
(SETQ LP (GETVAR "LASTPOINT"))
outside the loop causes all lines to be drawn from the same point rather than the endpoint of the previous line.
I am looking for a way to extract (filter) all polylines, and loop a lisp based on the number that are found within a "W" selection window.I am frustrated getting "malformed list" or errors, even after defining "n" for repeat.The code I have so far looks like this:
(defun cWW (/ p1 p2 sspw myObj ss)
(setq p1 (getpoint "
Pick first corner: "))
(setq p2 (getcorner p1 "
Specify opposite corner: "))
(if
(setq sspw (ssget "W" p1 p2 '((0 . "*POLYLINE")))
[code].....
Without the (repeat () portion, it was working ok with selection window, however it only would run the commands for a single polyline. What needs to be done without overhauling the code? The lisp has worked on a drawing-wide basis, however needs to run on only on user-windowed polylines since there are other polylines within the drawing which are attached to layouts via viewports.
How to write some code which could create variable names like var1, var2, var3, etc. I need to do this because I have a large number to create and the actual number is variable and unknown.
Instead of manually writing a large number of line like
(setq var1 value1)
(setq var2 value2) etc
I used to be able to put 1 line in a loop to create and assign a large number of variables. I remember that it involved the use of the set (not setq) and read functions.
Is there anyway to program variable names?
What I was thinking of was in a loop some times I need multiple sets of similar variables but am not sure how many sets I am going to need. I would like to be able to increment the variable names each time the loop runs.
I am currently writing a series of routines for setting the layers for text, leaders and dimension commands. The end goal is a system where any annotation command sets the correct layer for the duration of the command, then reverts back to the layer that was active before the command.
I have managed to complete all the code, and it appears to be working fine, I just have one question: I have used -layer "m" "Lay_name" etc... for all layer setting commands, rather than any code to see if the layer exists already. In my limited testing this seems to be suitable, nothing that exists on that layer seems to be affected.
I know how to write code to determine if the layer exists already and set the layer instead, but so far it seems unnecessary??
I need to change the value of some tags in a title block on multiple drawings. I tried using Lee Macs attribute changer [URL]. It works fine but not when tags have the same name.
I then looked at this code - [URL]
Idea was to change the tag names then use Lee Macs program. It too fails when there are duplicate tag names. It changes all tags not just the one I want.
In the the title block I have 3 tags with the name "NAME" but only one will have the value I'm looking to change. If I could place an IF statement some where in the above codes (or another code altogether) to instruct that IF the tag name is "NAME" with value "Dennis (BSL)" then change either the tag name or the value to "Daniel"
Im pretty bad at this programming stuff but with so many drawings I need a easier, automated way of doing this.
I have 2000+ drawings that have either the layer state "LMAN_DWF" or "DWF". I want all of them to read "DWF" for scripting purposes. LSIP routine that will go into a drawing and change rename a layerstate if it is named incorreclty, but do nothing if it is named correctly?
Does Layer State "DWF" exist?
If Yes, skip file and move on to next file
If No, does Layer State "LMAN_DWF" exist?
if Yes Rename Layer State to "DWF"
If No, skip file and move to next file.
Or a LSIP routine that can simply dump a list of all drawings in a directory that contain "LMAN_DWF" as a layer state. I could then use that list to do a simple script to change the layer state names on those specific files.
is it possible to retrieve the names of all the nested external references, and how should it be done?

We have a lisp routine that I co-authored ages ago and then haven't done much programming in about 7 years. I seem to have forgotten much of my language skills. This portion of the lisp routine was running fine in autocad 2005 which is what the computer had on it, and it doesn't run on autocad 2010.
I've narrowed it down to the while statement which is why you see it commented out, but that portion is necessary. My main question is was there a change in the language specifically the while statement between 2005 and 2010?
