AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Script File To Open Multiple DWG File Not Working In 2012
Dec 22, 2011
I am trying to make a script file to open a drawing and run a lisp routine. They both work independently just fine, the script file will open the all of the files fine... and the lisp is in the startup suite and works in all the files. But when I tell the script file to open the first drawing then run the lisp it hangs trying to open the next file after running the lisp. I have Filedia set to 0, but the message I get when it goes to open the next is "No canvas exists. click New Canvas." (And on top of that... Filedia even set back to 1 still does not display the Dialog box anymore, I have to shut down AutoCAD 2012 and start again then it works.) I Have tried several ways, Opening one at a time then run lisp, and open all files first and then try to run lisp (that closes the file after running) and try and run it again in the next... It will only run the lisp one time and then locks up from there.

I can run the ACC fine on multiple DWG files with a basic set of commands in the script file. But, when I try to load an AutoLISP/Visual LISP file and run it from inside the script file, it doesn't work. How to run a LISP file using the ACC?

I am writing a program to grab a bunch of layers from a list, check a drawing to see if the layers are on the list, and if not save to an external file. I have the second part of the program done, but I can't get the first part to work.
I am trying to open a file read the contents and save it to a list.
Here is the code I have so far, but it doesn't even get into the foreach statement.
(setq layerslist (list '"0list" '"detaillist" '"clearancelist" '"clearanceelist" '"doorsdrawerslist" '"hiddenlist" '"hiddenelist" '"deletelist"))(setq count 0)(foreach thislayer layerslist (setq f (open (strcat "C:\filterlists\" thislayer ".txt") "r")) (while (/= (setq text (read-line f)) nil) (setq (read thislayer) (cond ( (= 0 count) (cons (cons 8 text) (read thislayer)))( (append (read thislayer) (list (cons 8 text))) ) );cond );setq (setq count (+ count 1)) );while (close f) );foreach
I've also attached one of the text files. Im doing something in the wrong order, or I have something inside the wrong set of parenthesis.

I know how to retrieve the entity information from the block, but can't figure out how to write the loop statement to loop, look for first attribute, assign to a variable, goto next attribute, assign to different variable, etc., etc...
In my research, most programs I've seen it execute the loop, assign to a variable, then print/put that data somewhere, loop again and utilize the same variable to print/put the next data somewhere.
I would like each attribute within a block to be assigned a separate variable.

I am trying to export each sheet in an Excel file to an separateTXT files.
I currently have code to read each cell in a sheet, but unfortunately some of the Excel sheets have in excess of 5000 cells and it is taking too long to read. So I am switching to another method.
The program will check dates of TXT files and XLS file to make sure TXT files are current (if not, open and recreate TXT files).Then read the TXT files (much faster).
Where I am getting stuck is 2 places -
Get the names of each sheet in the excel file (not always a known name)
Save each sheet as separate TXT file.
Here is condensed code so far without error checking, etc -
(defun E2TXT (FileName /)
(if (and (setq XLfile (findfile FileName)) (vl-file-systime XLfile) (setq XLapp (vlax-get-or-create-object "Excel.Application")))

(if (findfile MyFile)
(setq fl (open MyFile "a"))
)
the file exists however the open function still returns nil... the file is not read only, and permission on the file appear to be just fine.What other reasons would there be that cause open function to return nil?This is happening only on one machine. All the others are writing to the file just fine.

I have a file path im trying to capture in a text file however its not working and autocad is prompting back,
; error bad argument type: streamp nil
Im assuming its because of the slashbacks but Im not sure..
Hence the code so far...
(defun C:GO ()(SETQ ACADLSP (findfile "acad.lsp"))(setq f (open "C: est.txt" "w"))(write-line ACADLSP f)(close f))

I used to have a short, one-line macro in my MNL file that would read the location of the currently active drawing, find the parent directory of that drawing (truncated to 3 levels) and open a Word document in that directory that is named after the project.
For example, if the active drawing path is
"Q:/Projects/12345 Cold Storage/Elevations/Phase 1/North Storage.dwg"
this macro would open the Word document named
"12345 Cold Storage.doc"
that was in the directory
"Q:/Projects/12345 Cold Storage"
If the file did not exist, it would be created named the same as the 3rd level directory.
After i wrote this, it sure sounds like a lot, but as i remember, it was a short, one-liner. Of course if a lisp routine would be better, that's okay too. I understand beggars can't be choosy.

I have a Lisp program that is reading information from a .txt file. The problem is, the file we get is an .edi file extension, and right now, the user has to manually change it to a .txt file for the program to run. Can I get autolisp to save the file as a .txt?

Right now I'm working on a program that will go into a directory and it's subdirectories, collect a list of all the .dwg files in those directories, then apply certain changes to all of those .dwg files.
My problem is that none of these things works.
(command "open" (srtcat basedir (nth i file)))
(command "open" (nth i fullfile))
(vl-cmdf "open" (strcat basedir (nth i file)))
(vl-cmdf "open" (nth i fullfile))
Where "basedir" is the main directory (e.g. C:/...), file is the list of the dwg file names (e.g. mydrawing.dwg), fullfile is the list of the ull paths (e.g. C:/.../mydrawing.dwg)
I have tried using the filename with and without the .dwg extension with no luck.
I have this code set in (while ...) so that it will go through all the files in the list "file" or "fullfile" in sequence. The lisp will run without errors but will not open any of the files. When I look at the command line, I see that the lisp has put open on the command line like it has executed the command, but right below that, it says "Unkown command: C:/.../mydrawing.dwg" or "Unkown command: dwg" depending on which of the above code pieces I'm using.

I have an AutoLisp file that runs fine with AutoCAD Core Console 2013. It runs fine when loaded through the standard interface of 2014. However, it does NOT run using AutoCAD Core Console 2014. I know there are new security features in 2014. What has to be done to allow it to run in 2014 AutoCAD Core Console?

I'm looking for a way to add custom data in dwf files. We currently create 3D models which get exported to dwf format so that we can share information with clients. Ideally, we'd like them to be able to click on any member and have the software provide additonal information about that part. Example, part number. It would be awesome if the client could then say double click that part and have the actual detailed part drawing open up.
The parts we are trying to reference are generated using a third party application, so they are not solids, but the information is easily accessible in LISP.

I am trying to write a lisp file that extracts the LAYER, Z, X, Y, TEXT HEIGHT, POINT NUMBER, from the attached DXF file. Ultimately I will have the lisp insert a "POINT" at the X,Y,Z, cords, and then a "TEXT" entity at the same coordinates with the text height value and the point number string. Both entities need to be on the layer ending in "-PN". The layer name will change depending on the date. I have a third party program that creates the DXF file.
The point of the lisp file is to insert the point numbers and points into my drawing at their correct locations. For the life of me I can not make this work. I have attached the little bit of lisp I have, which unfortunately does not work properly because of it searching for the "TEXT" entry in the DXF file of which there are three per point number. I only need one. I have also attached the DXF file I have. maybe just an overall procedure that I can then code myself? I'm just not good at getting lisp to read a file and extract what I want from it.

To get the 'File Selection dialog box' in AutoCAD via LISP, which command should I use other than 'GETFILED' ?
I have a program which using GETFILED to select the drawing file , but I think this dialog box size is too small to browse folder/file , as you cant see the favorites list and you cant resize the dialog box.

I need to plot in a file some windows from a LISP, like (command "-plot"...
The windows are defined in a list of points like (((0 0 0)(10 10 0))...) defining lower-left and upper-right corners. Each .plt file must be saved with a different name.
Is it possible from AutoLISP in 2000?

I have a lisp routine that creates a script file and then it runs the script file. After the script has finished running, I want to delete the script file from autocad, but for some reason it doesn't delete.
I've tried using (vl-file-delete path).
