AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Routine To Substitute Text To Blocks At Point Location
Aug 17, 2012
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

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 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.

I am currently using this lisp routine to export selected objects as a dxf to import into another program:
(defun c:dxf ()
(command "_dxfout"
(getfiled "DXF File:" "c:/dxf/" "dxf" 1)
"_Objects" (ssget)
"" ; completes selection
"_Version" "2004"
"16" ; non-default number or other option if desired, with followup line(s) if
necessary
)
(princ "2004 DXF Created")
(princ)
)
this saves the dxfs to a location of C:DXF
I would like it to save to a different location, the desired location is within the same root folder that the drawing is located in and is called "DXF-Programs-Releases"

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 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 was wondering if there is a setting somewhere that could hold my snapmode settings after I use a lisp routine. I found a lisp routine to rotate text and have noticed that everytime I use that lisp command I lose my osnap settings....

Any Lisp Routine to scale text objects a certain value and have the program actually scale each text object as you pick them.
The change text height using the Properties function does not work for what I need because the objects I need to scale are Mtext objects with Background Mask, and when you use the Properties function to change their text height it messes up the background mask so that you have to select each text entity and stretch the mask area smaller or larger, but if you use the scale function it scales the background mask as well so the background mask coverage is still the same.

lisp routine that will add together the values of text entities? For instance, if I have a big parking lot and each section is labeled with the number of spaces, I could pick the texts and it would add all the numbers together to give me a total. Right now I export to excel to do this. I have quite a few situations where this would be handy, not just for parking spaces, so I really just want a lisp that will add all my selected numbers.

the expression in question is part of larger lisp routine to create and rotate text based on the object selected and the viewtwist variable (we use dview twist to rotate our views when needed)
So the expression in question:
(< (/ pi 2) ang (* pi 1.5)
where ang is the total angle used to determine proper rotation of the text.
Now the problem. In most cases where ang = 90 (or 1.5708 radians) this works fine. the two exceptions i have encountered
in testing are a line at 70 degress, viewtwist 20, and line at 50, viewtwist 40. For whatever reason at these two conditions the expressoin evaulates True instead of nil and rotates the entire text object incorrectly (180 degrees). So question is how exactly is this being evaluated? i know its comparing ang (* pi 1.5) to (/ pi 2). is there some sort of rounding error? or maybe the expression needs a wee bit more definition? attached image and full lisp routine for reference of what is happening, blue text is angle of the line as created by routine at viewtwist 0.

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'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.

I wonder if it is possible to have a routine that captures the visibility name of a dynamic block and place it in a text in the drawing?
For example, I have a block with 10 visibilities. I copied this block 10 times in the project and I put each one with a different visibility. Now I would like to make a label with the name of each visible state next to each block.

How do I change the insertion point of a text using "vla-put" ? I've tried using :
(vla-put-InsertionPoint en a)) with a = (4455.94 428.576 0.0)
and I get the following error:
lisp value has no coercion to VARIANT with this type: (4455.94 428.576 0.0)

I need a lisp code to burst all "blocks with text/attributes inside" in selected area. That means user should select an area (window selection) and lisp program should be find all blocks with TEXT or ATTRIB inside in selected area and then applys "BURST express tools" command to all these blocks in the selected area by user.

Im trying to come up with a lisp that will export x and y coords to a txt or cvs file. However, I need the lisp to export in this format
Units Inch
WPT 1 0 0 ( X=0 Y=0)
WPT 2 1 1 (X=1 Y=1)
WPT 3 2 2
I need to be able to set my zero with move origin and the export the points.

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?

Is there a way to modify the text insertion point of multileaders using lisp? We have a problem with some of our multileaders getting a landing distance set to a negative value. My lisp routine will correct these to a default value, but then the text jumps a bit. If I could get the insertion point prior to changing the landing distance then I could restore that point after changing the landing distance.

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)
)

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 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)))))
