AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Remove All Block Attribute Values
Jun 17, 2013I need a lisp sub-function that can empty all attributes of a specified dynamic block. The idea being that the specified block contains data that changes often and in order to repopulate the block's attributes with new data to replace the old I wish to just blank out the old data first, because it's possible that the new data may not utilize as many attributes and all of the old data must be removed.
The thing is the block I'm after is on several layouts, CTABs and they all need to be wiped clean.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Removing Nested Block From Main Block?
Oct 3, 2013I 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.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Retrieving Block Name Of Anonymous Block
Mar 8, 2013When 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?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Block Insertion Routine Based On Block File Name
Apr 5, 2013Create 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.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Match Multiple Attribute Values From One Block To Another Block
Feb 12, 2012I 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).
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Insert Point At List Block And Dynamic Block
Apr 18, 2013I 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 )
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Insert A Block / Explode And Rename Nested Block With Suffix
Nov 30, 2012I 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] .......

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Odd Insert Block
Sep 26, 2013I 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.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Use Block With MLEADER
Sep 27, 2010We 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.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Remove Hidden Data And Reduce File Size
Mar 27, 2013I am trying to reduce the drawing file size. This is for uploading the drawings to AutoCAD WS. AutoCAD WS doesn't display or edit a drawing that is over 15MB. Unfortunately some of our drawings are over 15MB even after I have removed the background and others and have purged. I believe the reason why a drawing can be so big has to do with each object (grouped object) has a ton of information on it. For example, the properties of a typical object is like this:
( (-1 . <Entity name: 7ffffbece60>) (0 . "PRCD_FITTING") (5 . "145B6") (102 . "{ACAD_XDICTIONARY") (360 . <Entity name: 7ffffbece70>) (102 . "}") (330 . <Entity name: 7ffffbf59f0>) (100 . "AcDbEntity") (67 . 0) (410 . "Model") (8 . "BON-SupplyMP-3.0-4.0 RECT") (62 . 1) (100 . "CPrcdEntity") (280 . 10) (90 . 601861454) (70 . 24058) (70 . 4567) (280 . -65) . . Skip 3000 lines here for clarity . (90 . 0) (90 . 0) (90 . 0))
You can see from above that the list of properties are huge. All I really need are the visible parts of the object. This means most of the info above are junk.I try to reduce the size of object by exploding all the objects on the drawing. This sort of work in the sense that the file size of a test drawing is reduced from something like 8MB down to 6MB. But I am expecting far more reduction than this. The reason why I expect far more reduction is that the total number of lines of the exploded items of the same object mentioned above is reduced from 3000+ lines to only 300 lines as shown below:
( (-1 . <Entity name: 7fffe8654f0>) (0 . "LINE") (330 . <Entity name: 7ffffa1b9f0>) (5 . "3B11F") (100 . "AcDbEntity") (67 . 0) (410 . "Model") (8 . "BON-SupplyMP-3.0-4.0 RECT") (62 . 1) (100 .

Skip 250 lines here for clarity.( (-1 . <Entity name: 7fffe865260>) (0 . "MTEXT") (330 . <Entity name: 7ffffa1b9f0>) (5 . "3B0F6") (100 . "AcDbEntity") (67 . 0) (410 . "Model") (8 . "BON-SupplyMP-3.0-4.0 RECT-ANNO") (62 . 1) (100 . "AcDbMText") (10 4193.39 -418.589 150.0) (40 . 3.0) (41 . 19.8) (46 . 0.0) (71 . 1) (72 . 1) (1 . "\Fdim.shx;\W0.7000000000;\T1.0000000000;\o\l24X30THRT") (7 . "BonDuctTXT") (210 0.0 0.0 1.0) (11 1.0 1.46161e-017 0.0) (42 . 17.5) (43 . 3.0) (50 . 1.46161e-017) (73 . 1) (44 . 1.0))
Therefore, I am expecting a 10-to-1 reduction, not just a 1/4 reduction.I am wondering there may be hidden data on the drawing that are left behind after I have exploded the objects. if there is a way to get rid of the hidden data?
