AutoCAD 2013 :: No Canvas Exists

Jun 6, 2013

I have been getting the "no canas exists: please select a new canvas" error message for a couple days now when trying to run my LISP code. The objective of this section of code is to place a new title block and border into a drawing. 

(command "expert" "5") (cond((= letnum 1) ( (command "cmdecho" "0") (command "attdia" "0") (command "attreq" "1") (command "clayer" "0") (setq dnm (ts_dname));CURRENT DWG NAME (command ".insert" "COMPANY_AB=COMPANY_AB" "0,0" fact "" "0" ) (command ".insert" "COMPANY_TB=COMPANY_TB" "9.75,0" fact """0" "" "" "" """1" "1" "" "" """" "" "" "" ) (command "attdia" "1") ;;(command "cmdecho" "1")

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To GETPOINT Via Mouse Click Only

Dec 22, 2011

I am trying to limit the input that can be processed when using the getpoint lisp function.  So the code below prevents the user from entering null input (i.e just hitting a carraige return) as specified by the initget bit code of 1, or a non-numeric entry (i.e. for instance, typing S and hitting a carriage return) as the getpoint function does not allow for a non-numeric entry.

    (initget 1)
    (setq PT1 (getpoint "
Pick Location of First Point: "))

However, the issue is that the code does NOT prevent the user from entering a number and hitting return.  For instance, if I enter the number 100 and hit return, getpoint accepts this as a valid entry and returns a point value that is projected, in some form or fashion, from I believe the last entered point or (0,0,0) if a point was not previously entered.  I only want the user to be able to select a point with a mouse click and not type in a number or point coordinate.

So is there some way with AutoLISP or Visual Lisp that you can prevent the user from typing in a numeric value and hitting a carraige return in conjuction with the getpoint function?  Or is there some other function that will provide the getpoint functionality while providing the entry limitations described?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Double-Click Attributes To Edit With ATTIPEDIT

Dec 5, 2011

Any way to customize the double-click of a block attribute to run the _ATTIPEDIT command on the targeted attribute? I know this can be achieved by holding Ctrl & then double clicking, but I am often using my hand else where on the keyboard, or even more often, when entering many values into attributes, I am using my left hand to keep my place on a sheet of paper as I scroll down it and enter in the values.

I still want it to have its normal behavior while in a command, but when not in a command it still enters the selection mode, which does not work, but if it would enter a zoom window command, it might be a more useful command.

Photoshop :: Canvas Size Will Constrain Image Rather Than Cropping Canvas

Feb 23, 2012

I just got CS5.1 at my job. This must be a preference, but when I adjust the Canvas size, it will constrain the image, rather than cropping the canvas. The Anchor in the Canvas Size menu appears outlined (highlighted?) which indicates that this is something in preferences that I can adjust.

GIMP :: Unable To Click On The Canvas?

Dec 27, 2011

I don't seem to be able to click on the canvas in GIMP. I installed a tablet(Wacom Bamboo) and assumed that the pen wasn't working correctly until I realised that I couldn't click with my mouse either. The mouse and tablet work fine in other programs. It didn't have the problem until I installed the driver for the tablet(I think). I can use any feature that doesn't involve clicking on the canvas(adjusting curves, scaling, changing the saturation, etc.), I just can't do things like make a selection, or use the paintbrush.

I'm using GIMP 2.6.11 on Ubuntu 11.04.

Photoshop :: Right-Click In Canvas To Identify Layer Not Working

Aug 27, 2012

This function is working properly in os x, however on windows when I right click within the canvas I only get a list of all the layers under the mouse,historically since as far back as I can remember since photoshop had layers (rev 3.0 in 1995?) when you right click in windows within the canvas, you get a list of all the layers under your mouse, with the uppermost layer highlighted for easy identification and location of the contents of your layers. I've run all patches and updates and have even uninstalled/re-installed CS6.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Continuous Dimension Lisp That Alternate Its Position

Jul 12, 2012

Is there a lisp that will allow me to do a continuous dimension, but will alternate the dimension position from low, high, low and high?  If there is no lisp already created, how to create one? 

See Continuous dimension attachment for example.

I work at a glass and glazing company and this is how we dimension mullion width and DLO. See typical window dimensioning attachment for window elevation with dimensions.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Opening Drawings With Default Visual Style Set To 2D Wireframe

Oct 7, 2013

Is there a way to programatically set a visual style before a drawing actually opens?

We have some huge models and people seem to forget to change their visual styles back to 2D wireframe before saving and exiting drawings.  Some models will crash on some workstations when trying to open in a rendered mode.

I found a lisp with a function that looked to set viewport visual styles.  But it does not seem to be supported anymore. --> (vla-put-VisualStyle vport 1)

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Combinations In DCL?

Is it possible to execute a certain command based on multiple selections withinin a dcl?  for example:  two radio colums, one with selections A and B, and a second with selections 1 and 2.  is it possible to program commands based on user selections from each column?  ex: if A and 1- do a command.  A 2- do a different command, etc...

I tried :

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: 3D Point From X And Y?

Oct 9, 2013

I'm trying to find acceptable point values to feed to the vlax-3d-point function for a vla-addmtext function. With vanilla lisp I just provide the point as x y = "7/32" "2-3/8". So I assumed that I could drop a 0 in for the z like: (VLAX-3D-POINT "7/32" "2-3/8" 0).

Then I thought I was going to be tricksy and try (vlax-3D-point (getpoint)) believing that I could pick the point and get what I need to feed the function, but yet again, no deal. The command line gave me: 

node
of #<variant 8197 ...>

Nothing I can use in my code. So how do I find the point in a format that vlax-3d-point will like?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Use Of The Alt Key In A Macro

I believe I need to  insert Alt S into my macro to select Start from the window to begin the check. Is there a character or series of characters that will represent Alt in a macro?

(command "mspace" pause "view" "s" "tmp")(princ)
(setvar "tilemode" 1)

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To End Application

Jul 10, 2012

Is there a command that is the opposite of starting an application to open up a file?  Like:

(startapp "PlaySound.exe" (findfile "CuckooClock.wav"))

Instead of starting an application, how to shut all of its instances down.  Let’s say I have iTunes and/or Internet Explorer w/ a few tabs open and I can close them down without getting to the application to terminate it the usual way.

Naturally,

(endapp "iTunes.exe") doesn’t work :-))
