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?
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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe 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.

(29.2813 20.5 0.0)
Command: !line_end
(29.2813 18.5 0.0)

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 need to write some code to count blocks inserted on the drawing.... I want to count also dynamic blocks... most of the time dynamic blocks are anonymous... so I'd need to check the Effective Name.

I've gotten these two routines from different threads on here. One works with *text and blocks. The second works with multileaders.
I'd like to merge the two so one command can work with a selection set of any of the above objects (assume selection set of mixed objects - some multileaders, some text, some blocks)

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 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?
