AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Routine For Multiple Paper Space Layout Tabs
Nov 25, 2013Any LISP routine that can create multiple paper space layout tabs and can name them incrementally. I have a template and I wanted to copy tab2 of my layout multiple times and name them incrementally. I have a code shown below that comes close to what I need it to do but it creates a "New Layout" instead of copying the tab I need it to. Please see code below:
(vl-load-com)(defun c:LAYOUT+ (/ *error* prefix i n acDoc oLayouts layoutName) (defun *error* (msg) (if acDoc (vla-endundomark acDoc) ) (cond ((not msg)) ; Normal exit ((member msg '("Function cancelled" "quit / exit abort"))) ; <esc> or (quit) ((princ (strcat "
** Error: " msg " ** "))) ; Fatal error, display it ) (princ) ) (if (and (setq prefix (getstring "
Enter layout name prefix: "))

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Routine During Batch Plotting

Jun 15, 2012I recently upgraded to a new PC.
We get a lot of files from customers where there are multiple drawing borders all in model space.
Sometimes as many as 150-200 borders in one file that we need to print for the shop floor.
Years ago, I wrote a LISP routine that prompts for printer settings (Fit or To scale, etc.) and then prompts for
2 corners of each border and then writes a script file and launches it to batch plot each drawing.
My thinking was that I had to manually pick each drawing anyway, this LISP routine saved me from having to issue the plot command over and over.
Anyway, since my PC upgrade, the LISP routine fails.
There is a line of code that answers the plot prompt for output device name where I have the same printer as always.
When the script runs up to that line, AutoCAD tells me that printer is "not found".
So then it keeps reading the rest of the script lines which answer other plot prompts and repeatedly says "device not found".
If I manually print, I can choose the same print settings in the dialog box that the script file has and it can "find" that same device.
Why I can print manually but the LISP/script file gives me a "not found" error.
BTW, when I upgraded my PC, I also upgraded AutoCAD from 2012 to 2013..

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Find Offset Origin Of Layout
May 8, 2013I want to know the correct way to find the offset origin of a layout in an AutoCAD drawing. Let say I have a drawing that has many items on it. And I create a layout showing just the items in the lower right corner of the drawing. I want to know the offset origin of this layout relative to the Model space.
I came across some LISP commands that are supposed to do just that:
(vl-load-com)(setq activelayout (vlax-get (vla-Get-ActiveDocument (vlax-Get-Acad-Object)) 'ActiveLayout ))(setq activeplotorig (vlax-get activelayout 'PlotOrigin))
Unfortunately, the commands don't seem to work because it always returns (0.0 0.0). That cannot be right.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Select All Viewports In Drawing / Get Name Of Layout
Sep 29, 2013I need to select all the viewports in the drawing and to make some changes with them, I'm planning to select them all with ssget command. If I do that I will have one viewport for the paperspace itself in every layout. One of my question is, how to know which viewport is the paperspace itself?
Second question is, how to get the name of layout in which one is the viewport? It is important to me that the lisp is really fast, so I'm planning to do the most of stuffs with vla commands.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Zoom Layout (Entities Or Insertion Point Extents)
Oct 12, 2012I have a drawing with various layouts that when I do a Zoom Extents the drawings is reduced to the size of a point.
I have done all the usual, ie: look for extra entities that are "out in space" so to speak and there are none.
I wonder if I have a block or image which may have an insertion point "out in space" and if this may be the issue.
Is there some way to Select all entities or Blocks (insertion point) that may exist outside a particular area ie: drawing limits.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Open Xref In Selected Layout And Zoom To Match View?
May 28, 2013I have used Autocad since 1991, and my current job required me to use Microstation. One feature I liked from Microstaiton is the ability to select and open an external DGN reference, and then match the view of the parent DGN. In AutoCAD, you can also select and open an xref, but the DWG opens to the previous saved view, and not to the desired view that matches the layout.
My thought was to experienting with lisp or scipt and export the "Viewctr", "Viewtwist" and "Viewsize" variables to a text file, then importing the text file and using the "Viewtwist" as my "SNAPANG" value, then "Viewctr" as my "ZOOM, CENTER" value, and finally the "Viewsize" as the "Enter magnification or height:" value.
But, alas, have no time, and not quite the knowledge to duplicate MicroStation's open-xref-and-zoom-to-view feature.
