AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Routine To Replace All Blocks
Oct 5, 2011
I am looking for a routine that will replace all blocks named "DgnMisc_nodepoleind" with a block named "DgnMisc_nodepoleind2" keeping the insertion point. I could use (command "-insert" "DgnMisc_nodepoleind=Y:/ACAD2007/DA settings/Library_new_scale1/DgnMisc_nodepoleind2.dwg" NIL ) but my problem is that the block I want to replace is used on two different layers and I only want to replace the ones on layer "TPSYM01".

I found this routine but It doesn't work really good (see attachment):
1. We can select block instead of typing the name of it (or simply add this option)
2. That the undo command undo the whole lsp routine instead of undoing all single insertion.
3. That we can Hit the escape key at any point in the routine and it stops the routine correctly instead of writing "too many argu" maybe by undoing the insertion or by stopping the routine correctly at this point.
4. I just found that it does not paste the block directly on the points...? Finally this lsp didn't work at all !
I would like to have a lsp that do SIMPLY this:
1 : Ask wich "points" you want to convert (You know these points that you can change the appearrance in the menu format point style, thats what I mean by "points"). And By the way it would be cool if I could choose to convert the points or to paste my block on those without converting them but it is not that important.
2. Select block in the block listing of insert block popup window and paste it by his default insertion point to all the selected points.
Infos: New blocks on current layer.

I have a CAD file with a couple hundred detail blocks in it, and I am trying to standardize them without haing to block edit each detail block.
What i am trying to do in each block is as follows:
- Explode all dimensions, leaders, and blocks
- Change all objects to layer "0"
- Change all lineweights to default
- Change all object on colors 7 and bylayer to byblock
- Change all text and mtext to arial font
- Delete all points

i found this valuable script Lisp routine to insert blocks at point locations and want to modify it but i do not know much about lisp ...
what i want is :
1) script start and asks for a Block Name (in this case QPP1, QPP2, QS, QE, ect)
2) the user picks existing text
3) the script reads the value existing on this text an put it in a variable
4) then erases the pre picked text
5) inserts the block chosen
6) changes block value to number value pre-read
since it do almost all steps except for step 3 and 6

We've recently converted all our microstation drawings to autocad now that the company has decided to go with one cad program company wide.
One of the issues we are having after getting the drawings back from the this co. converting them is the cells to blocks convertion inside the drawing. when we open a drawing and see a "Fuse" block for instance and if it a has multiple inserts, it named them:
Fuse
Fuse_1
Fuse_2 etc....
is there a lisp routine or some command that would replace the "Fuse_*" blocks with "Fuse"..I've been searching the forums and know about the express tool Replace Block but need to be able to automate somehow.
I thought about trying to rename each of the "Fuse_*" but of course it won't let you rename to a block name that already exists..

1) I want to search the drawing for the pre-define block names given in the program.
2) If the are there, I want to replace them with the new version.
3) Program replaces the first block it finds, then tries to insert that block.

I was able to write a LISP that replaced each node with a block of my choice.However, now I need to find a way now to replace the blocks with different blocks.Each point shares the exact same block called "PILE". Different blocks are on different layers and have 11 different colors. I'd like to replace blocks on layer 1 with a block called "1" and blocks on layer 2 with a block called "2" and so on.I was hoping there would be an easy way to do this in LISP, but I've been unable to get any of my scripts to work.
I've attached a link that visualize what my drawing is currently looking like: [URL] ......

I having real difficulty finding a lisp that will find and replace blocks. There are plenty out there and AutoCAD 2013 and lower has a Find and Replace Blocks. However, the frustrating catch is I can seem to find a routine that will allow me to replace only those blocks that I select with a selection set of my choosing. The built in function replaces all of them and will not let you exclude some. We have PID drawings that we want to replace valves on, but not all valves. We don't want to rename. We don't need to BEDIT the existing block.
1) Pick group of blocks
2) specify a new block that will replace all instances of old block
3) replace inserted block with different block. Leaving others alone.
I'm thinking this should be easy, but my search has failed. The blocks in question are not dynamic or attributed either.

I'm trying to write a lisp routine that, when I invoke the mleader command, osmode is set to "nearest" & orthomode is set off. I then would like the original settings to be returned.
attached is what I have written so far:-

Basically, the routine asks for the user to choose the hatch type (Retirer/Percer), then the layer (Defpoints/Select/Current) and finaly the type of the object to draw (Polyline/Rectangle). My original routine has also a Circle and a Boundary options, and an Error trap to reset the variables but I will keep it simple for the purpose of my issue.
So, my issue is: when I choose the type of object to draw, it draws just one of it and the routine ends. I would like to have something that "says" to the routine that I want to keep drawing that object (Polyline or Rectangle) and putting the hacth inside until I do enter and then the routine goes to its end.

I have created an acad.lsp file in where I want to arrange all our company settings. I've stored it on the network to make sure everyone will use the same one and when updates take place I don't have to run past all pc's to change it. I've set everything in the deployment package but users can still change it when they reset their profile. Plus some pc's are already installed with AutoCAD before creating the lisp routine, how can I enforce the support directory to check on the network for the acad.lsp each time?

with the mouse I can select objects on the screen and then start a command that uses these objects.
How can I perform this in lisp?
I can create my selection set, that's no problem, but how can I 'make it active' for an external function?
(ssget "_C" p0 p1 '((0 . "TEXT")))
???

LISP routine for rotating lines so that text in linetypes always reads from left to right?
I use the QUERY command to create basemaps and often the lines that are imported read upside down or backwards or however you prefer to look at it. Most often, if I look at the XY coords of these backwards lines, the End X coordinate is of a higher value than the Start X coordinate.
Looking for something that would compare the two X coordinates of a line, do some sort of an IF Start X > End X, and if its true, store the XYZ coords of the Start and End in some variable, and swap them.

I found a lisp routine on the internet to change page setups on multiple layouts. The lisp worked but on some of the layouts it moved the viewport off the paper background (see attached). The layouts print fine but the only way to get the viewport back on to the background is to open the page setup and click modify, then ok and close. I tested this on a .dwg that I had saved to my computer rather than on one in the main folder but I would like to do this to to all are maps since our IT decided to rename our printer and now all pages setups are no good.All I know about lisp is how to run one.
;; Copy current layout page setup to all layout tabs
(vl-load-com)
(defun c:CPS (/ Adoc Layts clyt)
(setq aDoc (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))
Layts (vla-get-layouts aDoc)
clyt (vla-get-activelayout aDoc)
)
(foreach
itm
(vl-remove (vla-get-name clyt) (layoutlist))
(vla-copyfrom (vla-item Layts itm) clyt)
)
(princ)
)

I have a lisp routine:
(defun getLayout (pos / result cLayout layouts^ i len)
; pos = -1 return previuous layout name
; pos = 0 return current layout name
; pos = 1 return next layout name
(cond
((zerop pos)
(setq result (getvar "ctab"))
); case
[code]...
which basically returns either the current, previous or next tab name depending on what you call up. Any way to link this lisp to a field? I am doing some plan and profile drawings which contain match lines I would like to have the match line text automated. For example if I'm on layout called PP02 there would be two match lines in the drawing one would read MATCH LINE PP01 and the other would read MATCH LINE PP03 this lisp routine returns the correct variable but how do I loink this to a fiels?

I cannot get my lisp routine to run when I batch plot in AutoCAD 2014. It's loaded into the startup suite and runs when I open the individual drawings but not during a batch plot. How can I get this to run during a batch plot?

I don't do a lot of programming and when I do it is mostly with older lisp commands. I have routine that works in 2010 but we are switching to 2013 and it doesn't work. The routine assigns the area of a polyline to a field. The portion of the routine that isn't working is where it assigns the object id for the polyline. Here is that portion of the routine:
;; select an object
(if (setq ent (entsel))
(progn
(setq ent (car ent))
;; Check to see if object selected is a polyline
(if (= (cdr (assoc 0 (entget ent))) "LWPOLYLINE")
(progn
;; obtain the object id from the selected entity
(setq objID (vla-get-objectid (vlax-ename->vla-object ent)))

I need a routine that one can select a fence or a path along a whole lot of contours which are not in 3DPoly but rather a heavyweight POLYLINE and then have the Z value (elevation of this polyline) printed over the contour preferably along the direction of the vertex picked.
I have something right now that works by selecting individual plines but I need one you can select a whole lot and have the text inserted at the correct position.
See my simple code below:
;THIS IS FOR LABELLING 3D CONTOURS
(defun C:3DC ()
(graphscr)
(setq p (entsel "
Select CONTOUR to label: "))
(setq e (entget (car p)))
(setq e1 (entget (entnext (cdr (assoc -1 e)))))

I recently upgrading to ACA 2014. I have set my trusted locations, my file path, the startup suite, and the system variable to load acad.lisp on startup. Most of my lisp routines load, but not all. I still have my ACA 2011 loaded, all settings are applied as required, yet I do not have the same issue with the same lisp routines. I have to reload my lisp routines for every drawing.

I'm trying to create a lisp routine where It will create a layer for the delta that is needed and at the same time adds the delta. I get delta revisions often and it takes time to add a new layer and a new delta for each plan. I would like to create a routine that creates the the new layer based on the revision number.
For example if I get a revision 2 I would like to have a lisp routine that creates a new layer but asks what number i would like to use, once the new layer gets created the revcloud command would run, I use polylines around my revisions then change them to cloud with the revcloud command. after i pick my polylines to be changed to clouds then it would add a delta block that is in an attribute and it lets me put the number of the revision i want. At the end I would have a new layer, a cloud around my revision and a delta corresponding to the revision number i'm currently working with.
I have a routine that creates the new layer, sets it current, and starts the revcloud command where i can pick the objects to change to clouds, after that I'm stuck, I'm not sure how to tell AutoCAD that after the selection is made to start the insert command to insert that delta attribute block. I mean the routine ends after i pick my objects, I tried doint the delta first but i ran into the same issue since my routine ends after AutoCAD ask me to pick a location to put my delta block.
I need to figure a way to tell AutoCAD that after something is picked or selected then to continue with the lisp routine without ending it. I atteched an example of what I have.

I wrote this small program to automate plotting a drawing to pdf. Everything work fine except I cannot figure out how to allow it to let me pick where I want the file created and what I want to call it. In this routine, the "" at the 3rd from the end place will just automatically name the file and put it in the parent folder. If I replace the "" with pause, it lets me change the name, but will not let me choose the location.
What I'm looking for is for a dialogue box to pop up (explorer style) that will let me choose a location and name the file. This is what happens if you do it "long hand" inside ACAD, how to do it in the code.
(defun C:clpdf ()
(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(setvar "osmode" 0)

Me and a friend are trying to work on a LISP routine to select objects in a drawing and change their attributes to "ByLayer" and other things. He is a familiar with the AutoCAD commands, I have a general idea of how to use LISP and we're trying to put our heads together to solve some workflow issues at our job.
-aDiagram
(defun c:set23 ()(setq uecho (getvar "cmdecho"))(setvar "cmdecho" 0)(command "setbylayer" "al" "" "n" "y")(command "-layer" "c" "23" "*")(command "-xref" "d" "*")(command "-purge" "al" "" "*" "n")(setvar "cmdecho" uecho)(princ))

Lisp Routine that could replace a line at a specified maximum length with a block at the lines midpoint.
I would love to be able to replace all lines I select which are say less than 0.5m in length with a block at the lines.
