The Field dialog box has an item for CurrentSheetNumber with field expression: %<AcSm Sheet.Number>%
Is it possible to create a Field to display the Next Sheet Number (CurrentSheetNumber + 1) and a Field to display the Previous Sheet Number (CurrentSheetNumber - 1)?
I am using Sheet Set Manager. I can use a field that will enter the sheet number on each layout. I am looking for a way to have a field use this number and minus 1 or add 1 to get the sheet before and sheet after the current sheet.

How to Set a previous selection to nil from say a move command?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI wrote (setq oldtext (getvar "textstyle")) to save the current text style,
(setvar "textstyle" (getvar "dimtxsty")) to change the text style to the current dimension text style (which appens to be romans) and later (setvar "textstyle" oldtext) to restore the text style to its original setting but it won't work.
This is the same format used to save and restore osnap in many lisp routines.
When I check the program in the visual lisp editor, oldtext returns "standard" (the original text style - so that part works) but "textstyle" returns nil. I even tried (setvar "textstyle" "standard") to no avail. "Textstyle" remains romans.
why do not draw the line between ptm1 and pt3?

I am looking for a way to force all DWG files created with previous versions of AutoCAD to automatically open "Read Only". For example, using Civil 3D 2011, I open a file that is a 2007 format DWG. I want this file to automatically open read only, and inform the user that it has opened read only.
I'm hoping that this is possible, since opening a 2007 format DWG in a newer AutoCAD already tells you that it's an older format in the command line, and files can already be opened as read only.
I am currently using a field for my elevation tags. The field reads the y-value of a line and displays the results as the elevation. Our local jurisdiction requires that we list elevations from above grade (A.G.L.) as well as from bottom of base plate. The difference is usually 6"-12".
I was wondering if I could create another field that would read the same y-value of a line, but then subtract a predetermined value (6") and display the results.
Currently we have to do the math ourselves and this leaves room for errors and is often very tedious.
I am using Autocad 2013, and need to have lisp wblock to a 2010 format file. Is there a way I can force it to, without the trouble of opening the file dialog box and setting the format there?

I created a block, that uses the Y coordinate of the block and returns it's location in a field.
I would like to be able to indicate weather the value is negative or positive. If Y coordinate is less then 0, then the field indicates "-" in front of the value. But if the Y coordinate is positive, I couldn't find a way to place "+"symbol in front.
Is there any way I could introduce a conditional statement saying: if Y>0 then add "+" in front?

Is there any way to grab the Object ID or name from a layout tab to use in a field? I wish to link the layout name to a callout block so that if the layout tab changes position and name (inserting a new tab), the call out block will update no matter what page it is on.

Is there a way to parse or truncate a field in the formula area of the field dialog box?I'm familiar with LISP and DIESEL but the file dialog box / formula area does not seem to accept those functions. Will it take a .NET function? If so, what? Or, is there another option I'm overlooking?
We use multi-leader objects in our drawings. When the multi-leader and its value are to be replicated throughout the drawing, we create mleaders with fields that show the contents of the first mleader. That way we can update only the value in the first mleader and all of its children will update as well. It works nicely for us.
Here comes one snag. If one of us opens a drawing with which we are not intimately familiar, we don't know which mleader is the parent of which children. There might be fifty parents and four hundred children in a drawing so going through them by hand is a big productivity drain.
What I need to do is write a routine that will let the user select the mleader that includes the field and have the routine highlight and/or zoom to the parent object.
I thought I should be able to find that info in the dxf codes for the mleader, but I am either missing it or it's not there.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to put a field formula in an attribute value. Basically I have a block that has a attribute called QTY and it is equal to 1. I can get the object property to equal 1 with this expression:
%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%
The expression above will show a value equal to 1 (as I would expect)
Lets say I have two blocks now and I have the lisp routine combine the field values to get the expression below.
%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%+%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%
In the attribute dialog box it will show 1+1 instead of 2. My question is how do I get it to show 2 with out opening the formula box and evaluating it?
I have also tried.
%<AcExpr(%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%)+(%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%)>%
and
%<AcExpr((%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%)+(%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%))>%
For a program i am working for i have to extract the base point of a dynamic block.
This can be done perfectly by this function:

But i want the entity selected based on a previous slected point. So for example when i selected pt1 (which is a point at the border of the dynamic block) i want to be able to extract the base point on the block whit this point.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a field in a block (titleblock) that will automaticly update when I change the viewportscale.It's mostly only 1 viewport, sometimes a second of even 3rd but, they are not important to the titleblock.
I've read aboud fields and diesel expressions. I've tried and it works. there is only 1 problem,It only works with the object (when field expresssion, object, custom scale) in this case the viewport pressent at that time.
When i use the same field with the same expressions, it does not recognize the viewport/object.Is there a way to make the field, diesel expression or even something else, work without it's need for a
object name. Perhabs that the expression gets the viewportname from a lisp, something like: (setq ss(ssget "X")) ;some thing like this Can it be done?
I have a situation where I have a AutoCAD table linked to a Excel table to retrieve lots of general information for a standard drawing. That works just fine. In additionally I can use the fields "formula" field name and select a cell in the AutoCAD table to pull the data from the cell to the field, and this works for table cells that are numeric, but some of the cells are text based, and for these situations AutoCAD simply gives me the #### result. Is there a way to use a field to display text data from a AutoCAD table Cell?

(VL-CMDF "_.mleader" (getpoint "

Maybe it was a naive of me to charge in so boldly. The field appears to have made it in but it does not act like a field and does not reflect the correct value or update. In fact I get no response at all. In fact using "update field" "all" selects the fields but reports that they are locked.
Is that possible to have a lisp to extract the Field Expression of a attribute in a block?Specifically, to extract the property VALUE (TextString) of this attribute.After to extract, I would like to put this text extracted in a different layout tab, in the same drawing. In this way, I will have a text linked to the attribute value between two layout tabs. So, when I have to change the attribute value, the text will be updated automatically.
I know that if I use the FIELD command to manually copy and paste this value it will work, but when I have a lot of attributes it becomes very laborious.
I create a lot of fields that reference a polyline area and I'm constantly having to change the default formatting values. I would like it to default to an Architectural format, WITHOUT the appended "SQ. FT." (which often takes up too much space), with a precision of 0 and using a comma as the Thousands Separator.
Is there any way to set these default values?
As you smart individuals can figure out, we do up drawing packages for construction that consist of several drawings, hundreds of drawings, for several modules of construction. Our process usually consists of one layout per drawing, so that the lisp guy can do a drawing count and put in sheet numbers based on how I manipulate the list of drawings in the one directory folder.
Now I have a client, despite the way we currently do things, requires that about 70% of the drawings will have multiple layouts. Now we're back in the stone ages, manually putting in sheet numbers, eating up our budget for this contract.
