AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Patchwork Quilt To Burst Block By Name?
Sep 6, 2013
It's close... when I load it, however, instead of finding the block by name, it gives me "Select objects". As soon as I pick the block it executes the burst. But I can do that much without a program.
(defun c:burev (/ ss old-echo item)
(setq old-echo (getvar "CMDECHO"))
(setvar "CMDECHO" 0)
(if (setq ss (ssget "_x" '((0 . "INSERT")(2 . "E-REVTABLE"))))
(defun c:bu()
(c:burst)
)
(princ)
[code]....

I need a lisp code to burst all "blocks with text/attributes inside" in selected area. That means user should select an area (window selection) and lisp program should be find all blocks with TEXT or ATTRIB inside in selected area and then applys "BURST express tools" command to all these blocks in the selected area by user.

When using the express tool Burst, Invisible attributes are now visible. How does one modify the routine so that the invisible attributes are deleted.

I get an AutoCAD drawing from my conveyor manufacturer who have buried a block (tagname) in all of their conveyor blocks.
The only way to remove them is to manually use BEDIT and erase the tagname block.
Is there a way through Autolisp to search all blocks in a drawings and if the tagname block is part of the definition of the conveyor block, erase the tagname block or redefine the conveyor block without the tagname block.

When dynamic blocks are inserted they're assigned an anonymous block name. I'd like to be able to retrieve the name of the parent block after selecting the block on screen using AutoLisp.
Need a bit of code that handles this?

Create a routine that looks for a block based on a portion of that block name, using a specified path or search path.
For example, block to search for is BLOCKABC123, so if someone inputs ABC or 123 as a block name, it will locate that block within that folder and inserts it into the drawing at a user specified location.
Ideally, if there is a check in that if it finds more than one match, then perhaps it flags or prompts you to choose 1, 2, or 3 option which block to use. But I can live without this special function if it requires too much time to code.

I need to match few attribute values from one block to different block. I download a lisp file called; ca.lsp which can match the single attribute value. I modified it for more than one attribute value matching. It is ok but still wish to overcome two issues for batch prcess
1. picking up the blocks by selection
2. click the alternative block numbers of times to match the numbers of attribute values I needed.
How to modify this lisp I can run it by block name selections instead of picking selection which enable me to run batch process for numbers of drawing? That will be good...
Lisp & Demo file attached (Match attribute value, A, B & C to Attribute 1, 2 & 3).

I am learning autolips and i found a problem that i can´t solved.
(vl-load-com)(defun c:pmb ( / ss ent pt )(prompt "
selec block : ")(setq ss (ssget '((0 . "INSERT")))) (setq ent (ssname ss 0)), (setq pt (cdr (assoc 10 (entget ent)))) (command "point" pt))
wich this code you select one block and insert one point at insert point´s block.
which this other code yo select all block and insert all point.... but in one block
(vl-load-com) (defun c:pmb11 ( / sele cod bloque nbloque lista pt ) (prompt "
block: ") (setq sele (ssget ( List'(0 . "INSERT"))) Cod 0 )cod (1+ cod) (repeat (sslength sele) (setq bloque (ssname sele cod)) (setq pt (cdr (assoc 10 ( entget bloque)))) (command "punto" pt) );repeat )

I have a block that i want to insert several times and revised each one to be different to do this i would have to insert it and rename the blocks that come in and then reinsert i would like to insert and have a lisp explode the main block and rename the other 2 blocks with a suffix at the end depending on how many times its in the drawing... can this even be done? My original block name that will be first inserted is "BENT PULLEY NOTES" it needs to explode after i drop it in and then there are 2 blocks within that called "Bent Pulley" and "Bent Pulley DYN" that i was hoping to keep the names but add a number at the end depending on how many are in the drawing already...
here is a lisp that i have found... it would work if i didn't have nested blocks and only wanted the one block to be insert and not explode...
(defun c:Test (/ e i name Bname )
(setq e nil)
(command "_.-insert" "Drawing1.dwg" pause "" "" "")
(if (setq e (entlast))
[Code] .......

I have a dwg with 40 blocks that have a non-annotative property. I can go through 1 by 1 and change the property to annotative and redefine the block. Is it possible to automate this? I have done some google searches but have not found anything I am able to cut and paste or put together to get it to work.

I am trying to select all blocks of a certian name. I am using the following:
(setq ss1bk (ssget "_X" (list (cons 2 blkname))))
My issue is that this will not select any dynamic or attribute blocks that are not at the default insert state.
how to select all of a block by name including reguardless of current state?

I have a routine that counts dynamic blocks by visibility state and stores that information then prompts for scale and color and stores that information. Then a legend begins to build from the data and a collection of blocks to reflect the dynamic blocks and their visibility state. Everything works great on all of the machines around the office except on one. When the legend begins building, the one user is getting the DDATTE dialog instead of allowing the values to populate as expected. So, I had him change ATTREQ to 0 an run again. No deal, the same thing happens again and again. And; it only occurs on the one machine.

I need to get VLA-Object from block name.
here there is a code to get block name from VLA-Object:
(vlax-get-property obj (if (vlax-property-available-p obj 'EffectiveName) 'EffectiveName 'Name) )
but I need the inverse of this code exactly:
blockname(as a string)==>VLA-object
(defun GetVLA_BName (BName).......
so, how can I do it?

I need to pick a nested block in drawing, I prepared this code to get name of selected blocks:
(defun c:test ( / e obj blkName)(while T (while (Not (setq e (entsel "
Select a BLOCK to edit: ")))) (setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car e))) (if (= (vlax-get-property obj 'ObjectName) "AcDbBlockReference") (setq blkName (vlax-get-property obj (if (vlax-property-available-p obj 'effectivename)'effectivename 'name)) );setq );if (princ (strcat "
Block Name is: " BlkName)));while);defun
But, how to select a nested block?

I continue with my problems.....
I get attribute value from block and put it in a list:
(repeat (setq cnt (sslength sset))
(setq attValue (GetAttributeValue (ssname sset i) "tag1"))
(setq attValue2 (GetAttributeValue (ssname sset i) "tag2"))
[Code]...
When I try to put them in a table...
(foreach item lst
(vla-setText mytable
row 0
(last item)
)
(setq row (1+ row))
)
only put one ( attValue2) at column, and i like put 2 values, each one in a column in the same row

We have a block contain 10 attibs to be seen with 8 differents scales making 80 attribs! (We use that before Annotative features). When we edit this block, we have a LISP that ask for the 10 avlues, and copy it for all the scale.
This lisp use the block ename in argument.
We start to use that block with MLEADER, but we can not edited with our lisp (can not find the ename of the block in the MLEADER definition ).
Is that a way to find this ename, and to be able to modify (our substitute) all the attributes value.

I need to delete a specific block from current opened drawing by LISP command.
for example removing XREF attached is very easy:
(COMMAND "-XREF" "D" "FRAME")
I can remove "FRAME" XREF from drawing. Now, I want to delete a/all block with "TB12" name with same action!
(command "BlockDelete" "TB12")
so, how can I delete a/all block with specific name in current drawing?

I have a block named "WD_MLRH". There are 3 specific attributes which I want to change in it. The attribute names are.
RUNGCNT, RUNGDIST and RUNGFIRST.
RUNGCNT will = 20
RUNGDIST will = 1.0 (or 1 will suffice)
RUNGFIRST will be decided by a user input.
Something along the lines of...
(setq RUNGFIRST (getint "Enter first rung number: "))
I'm sure this is completely wrong, but i hope that portray what I'm trying to accomplish.

I just need the userinput to be incorporated in the insert command but don't know how to segregate the block name from the block path..
;;;PROMPT USER FOR BLOCK NAME HERE
(setq userinBLKNAME (getstring "
Please type in the block name shown in the allrevblocks - ex: IFCC4:"))
;;;INSERT BLOCK BASED ON BLOCK NAME PROVIDED HERE
(command "-insert" "B:\CAD\REVBLOCKS\IFC\"USERINBLKNAME PAUSE "1" "" "")

I am trying to update my Title Block with a LISP routine (As the title implies).
So far, this is what i have...
(defun c:aTest (/ ss att)
(if (setq ss (ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "INSERT")(cons 2 "TB_PARAMOUNT_ELC")
(cons 66 1)(if (getvar "CTAB")(cons 410 (getvar "CTAB"))
(cons 67 (- 1 (getvar "TILEMODE")))))))
(progn
(foreach ent (mapcar 'cadr (ssnamex ss))
(setq att (entnext ent))
[Code]...
The title block, block name is static. The attribute name is static.
My ultimate goal is to copy the value of one attribute and "paste" that into the value of another attribute, and itterate this through the entire project.

Looking for starting point to writing a routine that will open blocks in a drawing and change the colour.We receive drawings from clients with their blocks and would like to have them changed to our company colours.
So basically, i am looking for something that would within a drawing, change every block to a specific color without exploding and redefining. The colour changes will be the same throughout new drawings.

know a lisp routine that would insert a block @ a specific point on an arc? For instance if I have an arc that has a radius of 20'-0" & I want to insert a block at a set distance from the end of the arc.i could probably use the divide or measure command but I was hoping I could do it with lisp. I would also like to be able to move the object along the path of the arc at a specific distance.

I have been filtering through this descuession group for a whil this morning looking for what I need and have found somethings that are close but haven't managed to change them a little to do what I am wanting..
I have drawings with a block named UG101 and has been inserted on all sort of different layers.
What I would like to do is run a lisp routine that would select all blocks with the name UG101 and put them on the layer CableInfo.
I have many other blocks that i need to do the same to but with different names, so I was hoping, I could change the lisp routine around to do the rest of the blocks in the drawing..
