AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Open Standard Drawing From Menu

Sep 4, 2012

I have a small number of drawings that I use very often. I would like to make a menu item to open a certain drawing but I keep getting stuck when the drawing name should be entered automatically.I use the code

^C^Cfiledia;0;open;"test.dwg";filedia;1;

The drawing is my support file search path and the name is unique. How do I get this to work properly?When running this command:

Command: filedia
Enter new value for FILEDIA <1>: 0
Command: open

Enter name of drawing to open <C:previous.dwg>:

*cancel*
Command: "test.dwg"
Unknown command ""TEST.DWG"".  Press F1 for help.
Command: filedia
Enter new value for FILEDIA <0>: 1

It asks what file to open and suggests the last opened file, and whatever I tried so far this keeps happening.

*.scr files are not allowed on our network, I can't create or rename files to *.scr. Of course I could ask the admins to allow this but I think our security policy is more important than me having a button to open a file.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Adding Standard Drawing Sheets?

Dec 27, 2013

I've created a couple of programs:

One - that will start a new project file, add our standard drawing sheets

two - Insert a bunch of wblocked components based on user input

programs 3 - 6 all do the same as program 2, just different components for different sheets.

I can run all these programs and they work  (i need to do a lot of "clean-up" but they work)...

I have them set-up to open the next drawing.But i have to type in the next command, and continue until all my programs and done running.

My questions is how can I accomplish this without having to continually type in commands?I can't run these as a script, but is there another method?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Execute Macro In CUI Menu

Oct 30, 2013

I have tried to find information about this, but I am having a hard time. So i need to explain what I am doing.

I would like to be able to use commands stored in the cui menu file, initially this is done using our tablets, but our tablet drivers cannot work with windows 7 and autocad, nor can i get any that do, (i have tried over 20 different drivers).

So, instead of making a lisp function for every macro. I need to be able to use some of them.

Can I execute one of these macros using "MENUCMD" ? , I have all the information i need to do it but cannot figure it out menucmd does not seem to have an option to actually run the macro, and if it does It only seems to be able to do that with popup menus.

 Currently i use the ribbon and add them in there, but want to know If i can do so just with lisp. and create my own on-screen tablet menu.

Here is an example of one of the macro's in the cui i need to use.

And here it is in the cui menufile:

UNDER-> <MacroGroup Name="User">
<MenuMacro UID="MMU_WT1[A-5]">
<Macro type="Any">
<Revision MajorVersion="17" MinorVersion="1" UserVersion="1" />
<ModifiedRev MajorVersion="17" MinorVersion="2" UserVersion="1" />
<Name xlate="true" UID="XLS_6804">WT1[A-5]</Name>
<Command>^C^CDTEXT C .125 0 </Command>
</Macro>
 
So.. that is my question how can i use that command via lisp..

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Use Civil Menu Macro

Oct 7, 2011

I would like to use the following macro from the LDD 2004 Civil menu (yes, we are still using 2004!): ^C^C^C^P(cd_mnl)(zz_sdsk '(ad_xsutl 2));LDD.  The macro is Zoom to Station from the Cross Section pulldown menu. How to use this in a LISP routine, or an equivalent LISP command?  (The user won't be supplying the station number.  The station number will be extracted from a selection set of objects with attribute blocks with equivalent station numbers.)

Each cross section has an attribute block associated with it, which lists all the details for that section, including station.  The macro must be using that block (listed in a database, perhaps?) to find the station in the dwg.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Loading A Menu Wipes Out Workspaces?

Apr 7, 2012

I have some legacy menus that are quite large.  I have tried to create a new workspace, and that seemed to work o.k.

UNTIL I used menuload to try to load the old menu.  At the point all the defualt workspaces were wiped out somehow.

I would like to have access to both the default workspaces and then also by switching to a custom workspace, my legacy menus.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Menu Swapping - Migrating To CUIX From MNS

Jan 1, 2010

I read Robert Bell's document “Migrating from MNU to the CUI” (Autodesk University 2007) with interest. I have been using 2005 up until now and I am finally forcing myself to get to grips with 2010.

I managed to get it to work after much trial and error through the CUI transfer interface.My customizing makes use of a lot of swapping pull-down menus, which swap in and out based on current later setting.A typical command would be:

(MENUCMD "P15=RCASPOPS.mfireeqp") where RCASPOPS is my swapping menu loaded at POP15.

Then I would use (MENUCMD "P15=*") to force the “mfireeqp” area of the pull-down menu to display.Trouble is, when I CUIload RCASPOPS, it does not seem to recognize the various areas of the menu.Here is a part of that subsection of RCASPOPS:

***MFIREEQP
[FireProtEquipLayers]
[--]
[0]0;
[defpoints]defpoints;
[X-Refs]x----ref;
[code]...

Typically the whole of RCASPOPS is loaded but when I try to force it to display, the whole of it pops on the screen (well, the top of the file does anyway) and not just the subsection I want.

Is this a syntax issue with the newer AutoCad?Also notice that I use the -> and <- for fly-out sections of the menu - is there a syntax issue with this? I notice that the future support of drop down swapping menus is not guaranteed. What is the alternative?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Shortcut Menu In Partial Menus?

Aug 26, 2008

I have made an extra CUI that is loaded as a partial CUI.

Now I want to add a context-sensitive shortcut menus like this: POP504, OBJECT_AEC_DOOR.

The problem is that this shortcut menu only shows up if I add the shortcut menu to the main CUI file. If I add it in some partial CUI it never shows.

Does shortcut menus only work from within the main CUI?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: 2014 And Keyboard Context Menu Key

May 17, 2013

Switching from 2010 win xp to 2014 win 7. I need my specific user interface  , and cant replicate it because of this issue  :

I used to press context menu key on keybard to make edit menus pop up . In 2014 even though its same settings  (show context menus and time sentive click)  i ve lost this ability .

Either menus dont appear at all or they are replaced by the small command line context menu. I think this suggest new command line features are messing with right click options any variable i can turn off , or else to go back to normal.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Delete Toolbar From Partial CUI Menu

Feb 15, 2013

I have a company .cuix menu that is loaded as a partial menu to the main acad.cuix file. I want to delete all the toolbars and pull down menus associated with it and leave the other stuff in place. This is in Autocad 2011 but should also translate to 2013. So far, I have tried opening the CUI menu, going to the company.cuix partial menu and deleting the toolbars. Then I hit save, then Apply. Toolbars disappear and pulldown menus go away. But when I reload AutoCAD they come back.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Temporarily Reposition The Menu Bar From Top To Middle Of Screen?

have had the good fortune to have recieved a Christmas present (o.k. to myself) a new Dell 30" monitor with 2560 x 1600 resolution.

The only thing I am finding troublesome as you might be able to see by the attached screen shot, is that now my autocad menus are, as expected at the top of the screen.  This new size of monitor brings with it the problem that you now have to travel your mouse a great distance to reach the menu bar items.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: List Of Workspaces For Menu Files CUI And CUIX

Dec 8, 2013

Retrieving a list of Workspaces from menu files .cui and .cuix

The function to use is (workspacelist) which returns a list of workspace names, similar to (layoutlist) for retrieving a list of Layout names.

The functionality for extracting "WorkspaceRoot.cui" from .cuix requires copying the .cuix to .zip so that it can be accessed as a Windows compressed (zipped) folder which the Windows object "Shell.Application" provides.

Please rename the attachment to .lsp

I received the following error when I tried to post the .lsp: "The contents of the attachment doesn't match its file type."

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Saveas Drawing With Default Drawing Name

Oct 13, 2013

I am trying to put together a lisp routine for exporting a Civil3D drawing to basic autocad entities and convert it to a clients layer standards.

I don't want any user input, so I see two problems with the routine at the moment.

Step 2. SAVEAS - I want the drawing to be saved in the same directory as the current drawing, either called "CLIENT_export.dwg" or preferably "Export_{current drawing name}.dwg". If the dwg exists I want it either to overwrite or increment a suffix number.

Step 4. At the moment it askes the user for a selection, I want it to select "ALL"

;;;Purpose to convert a Civil3D drawing into CLIENT layer standards.

(defun c:client ()
(setq old-echo (getvar "CMDECHO"))
(setvar "cmdecho" 1)

[Code]...

I don't have any experience with LISP or any other programming. I have just been cobbling this together from bits and pieces I have found on the web.
