Can I select a line and get the nearest endpoint so I can do something to the line using the endpoint as a base?
It will include an ssget and an osnap "end" in the code, but not too sure how to put it together.
I want to make it so that I can keep selecting several objects and get all the starting points and endpoints of each one with (setq ent (entsel))
(Defun c:demo (/ ent)
(setq ent (entsel))
(princ)
)
There is a very complecated drawing. Texts are on a line and crossing a line or something like that. Some texts has insertion points on the line. When the line is selected by LISP, only the specific texts with insertion points on the line are selected. Does it make sence?

I am going to write a piece of lisp which will reset all the lineweights for all layers to default and have started by doing it manually on the command line to see what I need to automate.
To start with I choose -layer then LW then type default and it is here I have a problem. It asks enter name list of layers for lineweight default which is where I need to choose all.
We have been modifying a trim-around-block routine to have as few clicks as possible and though it feels like we'd be able to have the line to be broken auto-selected based off of the insertionpoint that was set as a variable.
;(setq pnt1 (getvar "lastpoint")
; sst1 (osnap pnt1 "nea")
;end setq
;(setq ss (ssget '((0 . "LWPOLYLINE")))) ; limited to Polylines
; (while (> (sslength ss) 0) ; as long as there's anything in [or remaining in] the selection set))
; (setq ent (ssname ss 0)
; paramcount 1
; ) ; first entity in [or remaining in] the selection set paramcount 1); end setq
are about the closest snippets of code that we've managed to find but neither of these are working.
How we can force the program to break the line without the user having to select the line (because they will have already selected the insertpoint, and using osnap nearest would find the line that requires breaking)
I'm trying to write a lisp routine to create a two line MLEADER but i can only get one line of text. Creating the MLEADER manually from the command line i just have to hit enter after the first line of text to add a second line. How would i do this in a lisp routine?

Now with the following function can only select leaders who have linked the xdata application TEST
(setq selez_all (ssget "X" '((0 . "MULTILEADER")(-3 ("TEST")))))
I can not, however, find a way to select all MULTILEADER who have a particular value of XData.
For example I would select all MULTILEADER with MATERIALE = "LEGNO" and TIPO = "A".
Newbie here trying to learn LISP. My first program is to flip all arcs and circles that have a Normal Z property of -1. But I'm having trouble finding a detailed list of commands and functions for the LISP language that explain creating circles to selecting entities filtered by properties. I must be searching for the wrong terminology.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am interested in a program that can select layers by its color, and then change those layers to a different color and add a prefix of Z- in front of those layers.
Example:
Layer Names: Layer Color: New Layer Names: New Layer Color:
Wall 2 Z-Wall 100
Berm 2 Z-Berm 100
Fence 2 Z-Fence 100
I found a program (below) that works pretty close to what I am looking for but not quite.

what I'm trying to do is have the program select the block and then I want to get out of it what the Block Name is, so I can then compare it to the list of block names that I want the program to move. Here is what I was trying to use:

However, when I do this, I get this error message: Error: bad argument type: lentityp <Selection set: 1e02>

View 6 Replies View RelatedLisp program, by selecting on screen multiple block attribute and to change those selected (by picking) attributes to colour 252.
At the moment, I'm using a custom macro : ^C^C-ATTEDIT C;252;;
But if I've got a lot of attributes to change, it takes awhile to complete.
I know about BATTMAN but I do not want to change the block entities in that way. The reason I want to change the attributes to colour 252 is because here at this company we do existing drawing in colour 252 and any new equipment on its proper layer colours.
I would like to select blocks based on the layer of one or more attributes. The obvious method would be to isolate that layer and select the ones with attributes that display. But many of the values are empty!
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm having an issue with using the SSGET to select a block so I can move it. I'm changing the UCS to be at the center of the top view in the program(user selects center) and the block is at 0,0,0 after changing the UCS. However when I use SSGET it doesn't select it. So I used:
(setq en(car (entsel "
Select a block :")))(setq enlist(entget en))
and it lists the DXF Code of 10 as
(10 15.0893 13.5165 0.0)
How can I then select it if I don't necessarily know where the block is going to be?

I need to select all the viewports in the drawing and to make some changes with them, I'm planning to select them all with ssget command. If I do that I will have one viewport for the paperspace itself in every layout. One of my question is, how to know which viewport is the paperspace itself?
Second question is, how to get the name of layout in which one is the viewport? It is important to me that the lisp is really fast, so I'm planning to do the most of stuffs with vla commands.

I am looking for a way where a user is prompted to select a row of blocks and then that row is completely mirrored about the middle of the selection set - such that if the blocks are originally inserted, from left to right "A" "B" C" then after mirroring, we want them t occupy (roughly) the same space in the drawing area as "C" "B" "A".
Then, immediately after mirroring that selection set in place, each individual block that makes up the selection set is mirrored about its insertion point along the x axis..... basically i need to mirror a selection set of a row of blocks so I change their order of occurrence and then mirror each individual block back again to the way it is meant to look.
Is this possible?
