I have some my own Icons on my Toolbar in Autocad that prepared by myself,
I can define tooltip for those icons by "Description" property of icons in CUI.
but the limitation is: I will have just single-line and simple tooltips!
so, how can I define multi-line tooltips for my own icons? or even graphical tooltip?!
should I use "Zammel" language?
I want to entmake a block with a multiline attribute. Entmaking the block definition works fine, but what do I code for the Multiline Attribute? Should it be coded (0 . "MTEXT") instead of (0 . "ATTRIB")? I know (101 . "Embedded Object") does not work. What other codes need to be included?

For example in my drawing it contains lot of Mtexts having multi rows. I need to sort texts inside Mtext. Like PDC-012, DAG-012, AAG-096. I need that Mtext should be AAG-096,DAG-012,PDC-012.
Before I get to my problem, let me give you a brief description of our environment. I recently created a custom GUI for my company that uses mostly macros to insert blocks. This gui is loaded as a partial into the machine.
Now, personally I don't like going back and forth between 3 tabs all day long, and I can get the bulk of the panels/tools I use (whether they were from ACAD or my own partial CUI) all into tab. I create the new tab, and drag and drop any panels I want from ACAD & the partial into this new tab. Then I customize my workspace and add the tab. I have a problem though with some of the icons from my partial coming in blurry, and I can't seem to fix it.
I've tried everything I can think of. The steps I've tried are:
Going to the CUI, selecting the command (under MEP, not my partial name), deleting the icons for both large & small icons, then re-linking them. Didn't workSame as above, but rather than deleting the icons, I edit the icon, and import the one I want to replace it with. Still doesn't work.Same as above, but tried clicking on the icon directly and selecting import. I've attached 2 pictures.
I'm using a 22" monitor, and have more horizontal room and no tabs are being collapsed.
I added another attachment to show the Lutron wires from the partial. This attachment is "partial icons2"
I'm customizing a ribbon using png icons, but the background color appears in black.

View 5 Replies View RelatedBack in the day, there was an application that showed the drawing version # in the icon in windows explorer. That was good for then, because of the lack of object data in many of the vertices. The link I have isn't valid anymore and it didn't work in Win7.
What I'd like to have is something that will show the different Acad versions related to the icon using the product ID, for example:
ACAD-5xxx = 2007
ACAD-6xxx = 2008
ACAD-7xxx = 2009
ACAD-8xxx = 2010
ACAD-9xxx = 2011
then in 2012 they changed to Axxx
2013 = Bxxx (???) I dont' have 2013 loaded
2014 = Dxxx (what happened to Cxxx?)
With the lack of backward compatibility between versions for objects (and I totally get that), it would be nice to be able to tell by an icon which version was used to create the drawing. I know the version information is stored in the header, which can be read, I'm just not a programmer.
I have been working on an AutoLISP routine which is intended to:
1) collect input from the user via a DCl dialog box
a) Create a List of the non-null "GROUP_CODE..." variable values collected from the dialog's settings
b) Create a List of the "ESN***#_Part" variable values collected from the dialog's settings (does the List elements' order need to be reversed after collecting them?)
2) Prompt the user to select an insertion point
3) Insert a Block named "ESN-CONTROL-WIRED" which has multiple attributes
a) Apply the first List element collected at step 1.a above to the attribute tag "INPUT_ADD" in the block
b) Apply the first List element collected at step 1.b above to the Attribute Tag "PART_NUMBER" in the block
4) Insert a second instance of the Block named "ESN-CONTROL-WIRED" below the first instance
a) Apply the second List element collected at step 1.a above to the attribute tag "INPUT_ADD" in the block
b) Apply the second List element collected at step 1.b above to the Attribute Tag "PART_NUMBER" in the block etc. .... keep inserting the block "ESN-CONTROL-WIRED" below the previous on until all the input from the dialog has been displayed in the attributes.
Notes:
The Dialog's pop-up lists are populated from external .TXT files which reside on our network (or alternate local C: drive folder if no network drive is found)
Inside the file "ESN_SENSORS_NUMBER.LSP", it is the function "ESN_APPLY_TAG" which I am struggling with how to write...
find inside the .ZIP file:
- (2) example screenshot .BMPs showing dialog box settings and what the resulting output in AutoCAD should look like
- (1) ESN_SENSORS_NUMBER.LSP
- (1) ESN_SENSORS_NUMBER.DCL
- (1) ESN_SENSORS_NUMBER.DWG with a sample output - and the definition of the block ESN-CONTROL-WIRED
- (1) ESN-OCC.txt which populates the PopUp List Boxes
- (1) ESN-DAYLT.txt which populates the PopUp List Boxes

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 am having a problem with starts and ends of lines. I have draw two lines, end of first is start of second. The problem is because, (cdr (assoc 11 (entget line1))) and (cdr (assoc 10 (entget line2))), somehow, are not the same,
(= (cdr (assoc 11 (entget line1))) (cdr (assoc 10 (entget line2))))
is returning nil, what is so confusing to me is that:
(=(nth 0(cdr (assoc 11 (entget line1)))) (nth 0(cdr (assoc 10 (entget line2)))))
is returning true, the same is for y and z coordinates.

I need to place a circle, of a user-defined radius, as a marker at the endpoints of all lines in a drawing. how to accomplish this using lisp? It doesn't matter if they overlap; I can use OVERKILL to delete those objects.

But don't know how to cycle through the objects, determine the end points of lines only.

There are many lisp that draw offset line but what about opposite way , I have wall of double line i need to delete one of them let's say inside wall line .
why i need to do this usually when i tracing in external program like autocad architecture or Revit or archicad i just need outline of exterior and interior walls !.
is there way that can delete the offset line ?(or within range predefined in lisp to prevent interfering of lines deletion).
I have little Autolisp experience, what I need is a lisp routine that will divide a 3D Poly line to say about 1000 points and add index to the points from the start of the line to the end of the line. It is very important that the index be from the start to the end of the line, because we extract the info to excel and then use the x,y and z co-ordinate of the points on our hydraulic analysis program. We need to have the index and the x, y and z co-ordinates on our Excel sheet sorted by index and not by x, y and z.
To be more clear the 3D poly is a pipeline profile so we need to have the points in order by index and not by x, y and z.
Is it possible to control the UCS without using the command line? I'd like to access it and control it with vlisp much the same way I can access DXF groups and manipulate insertions. Seems like it should be possible to play with it's definition inside the object model.

I've written my first little Lisp function.What it's for is drawing a simple borehole profile that can then be used to draw stylized cross sections on top of it.
Upon start the lisp, pick a point on screen (to get the X coordinate [x1 below]), then enter ground level at the command line [g1 below], then enter as many thicknesses as are present in the borehole log (will vary, but typically between 3-12). These I added to a list, because that seemed to make sense when I did it.
What I want it to do then is draw a pline from x1, g1 down to the next point (x1,g1 minus the 1st thickness), then the next (x1,g1 minus the 2nd thickness) etc., to the bottom of the borehole.
Then my CAD guys can sit there, and using the borehole logs, enter the values of the boreholes and it draws them on the screen, making it easy to join th dots.
It might be good if it placed a Acad point at each point as well, but I'm not overly bothered about that at the minute.
Here's my attempt so far.
(prompt "Type 'e1' to run...")
(defun c:e1 ( / )
(command "graphscr") (setq x1 (getpoint "
Pick insertion point:")) (setq x1a (car x1))
(initget (+ 1 2 4)) (setq g1 (getreal "
Enter ground elevation: "))

I am trying to create a report of line lengths based on linetype.

(("CUT6SS" .total length)("CUT4SS" . total length))
There is a very complecated drawing. Texts are on a line and crossing a line or something like that. Some texts has insertion points on the line. When the line is selected by LISP, only the specific texts with insertion points on the line are selected. Does it make sence?

It will include an ssget and an osnap "end" in the code, but not too sure how to put it together.
