AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Place Object On Demo Layer
Jul 20, 2011
I want to create a routine that will place selected objects on a the corresponding demo layer. Here is the outline:
enter command
select object
extract layer name of object (i.e. "CS CURB")
if demo layer exists (i.e. "CS CURB CD")
>put object on demo layer
>else create demo layer, and place object on layer
I could select multiple objects on different layers.is this possible with lisp? any good starting point for lisp programing?

This is in regards to the LIP command in Toolpac. The layer properties for a selected nested object (LIP) used to default to nested. Now you have to select nested from the list of options. Why they would change LIP. My whole company had gotten so used to it.

I have a lisp file that reads in a point list from a text file and creates a number with a circle around it for every point, then a line from one circle to the next in line with the center point of each circle. Is there a simple way of making the lines "go behind the circles". The portion of code that creates the circles, lines and text is as follows and a cutout screen dump of what it looks like is below.
(setq amount 0)
(foreach item lines
;;; ;;
;;; Create the text ;;
;;; ;;
(setq x (+ (atof (nth 2 item)) (car pt_origin)))
(setq y (+ (atof (nth 3 item)) (cadr pt_origin)))
[Code]....

Lisp routine that divided up a normal square / rectangle room and insert a block at each given point.
At present if the room was to have four lights width ways and three lights length ways we would divide the width by eight to give us 1/2 1 1 1/2 so the lights would be placed on every second point after the divde command (dividing the room by twice the amound of lights needed).

I would like to create a command that will copy a file from one place to another.
I can do it directly from the commandline like this
But when I try and put it in a command macro in the CUI editor like this
^C^C_shell;copy "c:/temp/drawing1.dwg" "g:/temp";
it does not seem to work. It comes up with this on the commandline
but no copy of the file is made.
How can I get this to work without having to write an external file, such as a script or lisp?

i want to modify it to use without adding Room Name, just insert area to the drawing.

(setq tx (strcat "Area: "
(rtos (/ (getvar "area") 1000000) 2 2)

)
rn (getstring "
Room Name: ")

You have a dwg with multiple sets of different blocks and a circle you want to place on the insert point of each set blocks.
You select the circle then select one of the blocks in the set and the circle is placed on the insert point of each of the blocks in that set. It would save time from doing it manually and save on mistakes.

I have a rather simple 3rd party custom object... I tried to get its bounding box but the coordinates that come back don't seem to relate at all to the object.
What I'd like are the coordinates of two nodes the object contains...
Is it possible to apply the autocad cursor in some why with the node object snap to get their coordinates?

Say I have 2 items, one is on layer "M-Duct" and the other on "M-Pipe" (they are in the same drawing). Any lisp routine that would create the layers "M-Duct-New" and "M-Pipe-New" (based on the same color and LT as the original layers) and then move those objects to the newly created layers?

Possible to link an xref layer and local layer so they display the same (eg. sync viewport colour, linewieght, line type)?
I insert xref's for my base drawing but legend is on local layers and I would like to be able to ensure that the line colour and linetype always match...

I have a customized button to draw an ‘ac-arrow’. I created a lisp to create the layer “G-ANNO-LEDR”
if the layer name is not found. The advanced part I would like is:
Current layer: E-ANNO-WIRE
Ac-Arrow Leader: G-ANNO-LEDR
OPTION 1:
If, say I am on current layer “E-ANNO-WIRE” and need to draw my “ac-arrow” leader, and continue working
on the original layer “E-ANN-WIRE” (and have the leader be drawn [remain] on the layer “G-ANNO-WIRE”).
With this option, I have the block “ac-arrow” imbedded in my template drawing file to have the block at hand.
With this option, the layer “G-ANNO-LEDR” will be created IF it is not on the drawing.
OPTION 2:
- Currently be on layer “E-ANNO-WIRE”
- Bring in the block “ac-arrow” from my block library “L:AutoCADSymbols”
- Draw the “ac-arrow” leader which will be on layer “G-ANNO-LEDR” (this layer created IF it is not
on the current drawing).
- After the leader is drawn’
- Be put back to the layer I was, “E-ANNO-WIRE”, and continue working.
The OPTION 2 is what I would really like to have. A while back, I happen to see one like OPTION 2, but I cannot
find it anymore on the users groups. I have been searching for a while now.
Currently, I use the button in my customized toolbar (see image) and have to have the “ac-arrow” block in my drawing and have its layer created in the drawing.

Any script that when ran will set lineweights of a layer based on what color the layer is assigned. For instance if I have 3 lines that are green on 3 different layers. I need the script to change all 3 layers lineweight to .015mm. I have drawings that are inconsistant with layer names so layer translator and methods of that nature will not work because I do not know all the layer names and I have 100 drawings to do this to.

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 am trying to write a simple (or at least I thought it was) code to flatten a 3d object into a 2d shape. For some reason after ACAD runs the lisp it recognizes the flatten command but it will not select all. this is what I have:
(defun c:fl () (command "flatten" "all") )
I have even tried the pick first command, to select all then run the flatten command but that still doesn't work.

How to access the information stored with an AcDbScale object using Visual Lisp. I can convert the vla-object to an ename and then use association codes to extract the data, but surely there's an easier, more direct alternative.

I am looking for a lisp routine which will allow me to mirror an object that I pick automatically. I don't want to have to pick the two points to set the mirror line. I just want the point I pick on of the object I select to be the point of the mirror. If that can't happen, I was wondering if the object could mirror at its insertion point (like if it were a block or a text.

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.

I am creating a line using entmake, but I need the start and end point to be variable that was already defined ex.
(entmake '((0 . "LINE")(8 . "FIELD") (10 . line_insert) (11 line_end)))
Command: !line_insert
(29.2813 20.5 0.0)
Command: !line_end
(29.2813 18.5 0.0)
The error I get is
; error: bad DXF group: (10 LINE_INSERT)
What do I do to make it recognize this variable?

I use the following code to assign a reactor to an object.
Now I noticed that if I close the dwg file after you successfully saved, when I open even if I load the lisp, the reactor does not work.
Another problem: when I use the command "erase" or "explode" the reactor is started twice, why? you can run it at once?
(setq marReactor (vlr-object-reactor (list (vlax-ename->vla-object oggmar)) "TEST" '( (:vlr-erased . reactor_upd) (:vlr-modified . reactor_upd) ) ))

I have this lisp which will display the height of a 3D object to 2 dps. What I need is for 3dps to be displayed but I have no real understanding of LISP coidng so I can't work out where this is specified in the routine.
Why this LISP does not work when I try to use it in a drawing which has a Pointools POD file working (or previously had one) within it?

I am trying to improve quality of exported drawings from Revit. We had troubles with lines and setting „by layer“. We found solution, but unfortunately we have to do it manually for each drawing.
how to program (by using LISP for instance) following commands?
Start Layer Translator (command „laytrans“)In Layer Translator, load the same drawing in section „Translate To“In Settings check only „force object colour to ByLayer“ and „Translate objects in blocks“Click on „map same“Click on „translate“Done
