Feb 17, 2013I want to write content of variables to a text file but I should have conversion function for variables.
for example
(setq a 123); a is an integer type, contetnt of a is 123
so I should use (itoa a) to get "123" as a string and then I can write it to text file.
but what about another type of variables?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Write Unicode Characters To Text File
Jun 27, 2013I can't write unicode characters to a text file.
as you know, you can write chars on text screen easily: (write-line (strcat "\U+" "2122"))
but if you want to write chars to a text file, this command does not work: (write-line (strcat "\U+" "2122") TxtFileVar)
Here is a part of my code to test:
(defun C:HexGen ( / d f S w x y z h c)(setq d '("0" "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8" "9" "A" "B" "C" "D" "E" "F") f (open "c:\0000-FFFF.txt" "w"))(foreach w d (foreach x d (foreach y d (progn (setq S "") (foreach z d (progn (setq h (strcat w x y z)) (setq c (strcat "\U+" h));;;<===character (setq S (strcat S " " (strcat h " = " c ))) ) ) (write-line S f) ) ) )) (close f)(startapp "notepad" "c:\0000-FFFF.txt"))

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Script File To Open Multiple DWG File Not Working In 2012
Dec 22, 2011I am trying to make a script file to open a drawing and run a lisp routine. They both work independently just fine, the script file will open the all of the files fine... and the lisp is in the startup suite and works in all the files. But when I tell the script file to open the first drawing then run the lisp it hangs trying to open the next file after running the lisp. I have Filedia set to 0, but the message I get when it goes to open the next is "No canvas exists. click New Canvas." (And on top of that... Filedia even set back to 1 still does not display the Dialog box anymore, I have to shut down AutoCAD 2012 and start again then it works.) I Have tried several ways, Opening one at a time then run lisp, and open all files first and then try to run lisp (that closes the file after running) and try and run it again in the next... It will only run the lisp one time and then locks up from there.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Write Routine That Will Make Layer Called Hatch
Aug 1, 2012I am trying to write a lisp routine that will make a layer called hatch, set it as current and then run the hatch command.
BUT the hatch command is not bring up the hatch dialogue box, it just puts things on the command line.
The layer is being made & set current.
The lisp is as follows:
(defun c:hh (/ ec)
(setq ec (getvar "cmdecho"))
(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(command "-layer" "m" "hatch" "c" "8" "" "l" "continuous" "" "s" "hatch" "")
(command "hatch")
(setvar "cmdecho" ec)
)
On another matter, I have just found the bevel lisp routine by Terry Miller which works great BUT only for imperial measurements. How to make Terry's metric, that will work for metric measurements.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Inserting An Attributed Block Using Data From An External Source?
Aug 9, 2013I am reasonably experienced in coding in VBA but cannot find any references as to how to achieve the above within VBA so am now turning to LISP to see if I can achieve it in that language.
Basically I want to be able to create multiple instances of an attributed block using an external source, e.g. a spreadsheet to provide data for the attributes.
I'm not even sure if this is possible.
I can find lots of references for extracting attribute date to a spreadsheet but I want to go the other way!
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Checking For Existence Of Drive Using Code Not Working?

I know it doesn't work because if I change the T to nil as demonstrated bellow I should invoke the opposite reaction from autocad but instead I get the exact same outcome which is an alert telling me the file exists?

Mar 1, 2012Is there a way to determine the type of ACAD object that the user selected? I need to retrieve the value from either a dimension or text. The info could be in either format so the lisp routine needs to determine what was selected so the correct vla-get command is used.
Once I determine what the object is I can use an if statement to retrieve the value.
;user selects the object
(setq dimobj (vlax-ename->vla-object(car(entsel))))
;If ACAD object is a dimension do this.
(setq dimvalue (vla-get-textoverride dimobj))
;If ACAD object is text do this.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Polyline Deflection TYPE Angle Table
Jul 19, 2013The attached image shows a table that I created as a AEC Object from my Civil 3D Alignment (i can turn it to 'MText' and then 'Text' in one or two steps). What I need is a routine, or anything, that fills the third column with an information based on the second column: the deflection angle, something like that:
Curve Angle Type of angle
C1 22°30'00'' 2
C2 39°21'28'' 3
C3 44°59'59'' 3
C4 45°00'00'' 4
C5 45°00'01'' 5
Is there something I could read to study to solve it myself and specify my own angles/types of angles?
