Say I have 2 items, one is on layer "M-Duct" and the other on "M-Pipe" (they are in the same drawing). Any lisp routine that would create the layers "M-Duct-New" and "M-Pipe-New" (based on the same color and LT as the original layers) and then move those objects to the newly created layers?
View 9 RepliesAny 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.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI need a LISP that create a new layer and ask me for the name and the other properties (color,lw,lt..).
ask me if I want move the selected object for the new layer (yes is the default value)
If there any lisp for the below sequence:-
1) select a few group of pre-set block name
2) change all these pre-set bloack name to a layer " Eye Bolt"
At moment, i have several kind of block such as example of "EB10", "TEB10","EB8","TEB8" and etc.
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.
I would like converting all objects that has forced linetype to be on a linetype layer.
So if there are objects that have forced linetypes - dashed/hidden/phantom, etc., those entities would be moved to a linetype layer based on their forced linetype. The entities would all be changed to color bylayer, linetype bylayer.
So if there is a rectangle that is sitting on an EQUIPMENT layer, the routine would put that rectangle on a new layer called DASHED and change its forced linetype to BYLAYER.
Lastly, once that's done, the next and final step is to locate a the existing layers with matching linetype - say, OBJECTS with DASHED as a linetype, and merging it to that layer.
Can I have a lisp to select all objects in the layer "Defpoints" (including model and paper space, and including objects inside blocks) and change the color of those objects to color 30?

Is there a LISP code for disabling OSNAP for specific objects or layers? An automatic disable for multileaders would be useful when fine tuning the text placement. Trouble is you need the snap for the leader end. Maybe you could disable the snap for the text grip only.

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.

Is there a way to move all 3.5mm text to layer text3.5 and move all 5mm text to layer text5.
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.
I need a program to move some selected text to a line something like as extend command but for text objects!
suppose that there is a horizental line (y=constant) or vertical line (x=constant) and some selected text(or other objects), I want a lisp program that move these selected text (or objects) by their "insertion point" to this line.
in other word, if the selected base line is horizental (y=constant) then property of "Y" of all selected text should change to line's "Y"; and if selected base line is vertical (x=constant) then value of "X" of all selected text should match to line's "X" value.
for example, for base vertical line (x=constant) and 3 selected text(or can be any object) result is:
text1. | text1.|
text2. | ===> text2.|
text3. | text3.|
| .text1 |.text1
| .text2 ===> |.text2
| .text3 |.text3
I have a slightly unusual query that I can't seem to find a solution for elsewhere. I have an existing OS plan that is 'off grid', and would like to adjust the vertices at the ends of all the existing lines and polylines so that they all sit on a grid point, ie round all vertices to the nearest whole number. Is there a quick command or script that does this?

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.

(defun clot ()
(if (layerstate-has "Temp")

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..
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" (!!!!)
How can i retrieve the layer states via lisp.
