The title says it all, Im trying to find a way to select just the vertical dimensions. Quick select doesn't work because there's no difference between a vertical and a horizontal dimension, so i was wondering if there was a LISP or something else i could do to accomplish this.
View 5 RepliesI was adding a lot of aligned dimensions to a drawing and some where along the way they changed from aligned dimensions to rotated dimensions, even in the same string of dimensions.

I am still green at lisp creation. I would like to create a lisp to change my cannoscale to match that of an existing dimension in model space. we use tabs and therefore have many different scales for the vports in our drawings. i want to be able to type my command, have acad ask for a annotative dimension to match, i click it, then the lisp resets my cannoscale to match.

Just selecting duplicates for highlighting nothing more.
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 have this code that I wrote years ago that I want to update to select two types of civil3d objects and show them selected with grips on the screen. This function works fine
(defun CELFEATURE ()
(ssget "_X" '((0 . "AECC_FEATURE_LINE")))
(setq sset (ssget "P"))
(if sset
(progn
(sssetfirst sset sset)
;(command "_.PROPERTIES")
)
)
)
(defun cF () (CELFEATURE))
but if I add the extra object like this which I assume is the wrong syntax i only get the second type of objects. Need correct syntax I should be using for selecting more than one object in an ssget statement.
(defun CELFEATURE ()
(ssget "_X" '((0 . "AECC_FEATURE_LINE","AECC_AUTO_CORRIDOR_FEATURE_LINE")))
(setq sset (ssget "P"))

I used to have a lisp routine that would allow me to pick one dynamic block and it would select all instances including the blocks that have become anonymous.

When selecting any dimension type (from the standard AutoCAD toolbars) i would like it to already be in the layer "dimensions". Currently it starts in layer 0.
I've been browsing the web a bit and found a lot about it but people are talking about LISP's?? I can do magic things in AutoCAD but i am a complete stranger to LISP's, Macro's, etc... Would like to learn but where to start..
Anyway i can cover this with something else then writing an LISP?

I have a lisp routine that creates a "frame wall" and I want to be able to automatically dimension said wall within the same routine. I have created two sets of points, each set being on its own new layer. I have made selection sets of each set of points, and want to cycle through each set dimensioning as required. This what I have so far for this part of the routine:
(command "DIMSCALE" 24)
(setq sel1 (ssget "x" '("VPOINTS")))
(setq TC (polar (ssname sel1 0) (dtr 180.0) 9))
(command "DIMLINEAR" (ssname sel1 0) (ssname sel1 1)) "V" (polar TC (dtr 180.0) 9) "")
[code]...
When I run the program I get the error: bad point argument. So what I think is happening is that the ssname command is not returning the actual value but just the name? I am new to AutoLisp and even newer to selection sets so be easy... Along with this, I am also curious as to how a selection set is ordered when it is chosen ie how does it determine what would be in (ssname sel1 0). Also, how would one go about deleting the points in these selection sets after the dimensioning has been completed.
I have tools like flatten and toolpac to correct plines and other things to be parallel to the ucs (world), but not for dimensions.
I attached a file with problem dins, any tool to get them back to flat?

Ultimately I want to delete a bunch of Layers by selecting them using a portion of their name. Is there anything in cad that allows you to specifically select layers using only a portion of the layer name?
Based on AutoCAD Layer Standards: Users label layers with a code; for example: A-ANNO-TEXT
A - Stands for the Architectural Category the layer falls into
ANNO - Stands for Annotation
TEXT - Type of Annotation
I want to use the Layer Delete (-LAYDEL) command to delete all layers that begin with A-ANNO. In the Layer Manager (-LAYER) I am able to select specific layers using a " * " placed before and/or after " A-ANNO " to include all layers with that in its name.
When I write a script however (-LAYDEL); cad will ask me for the layer name, but will not allow me to use the *A-ANNO* to include all layers with that name: A-ANNO-TEXT, A-ANNO-GLAZ, A-ANNO-WALL, etc...
Is there anything in cad that allows you to specifically select layers using only a portion of the layer name??? I have to "taylor" drawings that I receive from companies who's layers may vary.
My script is in basic (NON LISP) language:
-LAYDEL
N
A-GENM
N
A-DOOR
N
A-DOOR-FRAM
N
A-DOOR-GLAZ
N
Y
Is there way that by selecting objects (Lines,Pl) it construct infinite lines ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am just starting learning lisp, And I am looking for a fast way to select multiple objects (usually circle) and export their coordinates and ID into a excel sheet through lisp programming.
As you might see in the attached drawing, the red circles are objects wanted. I have been trying to export their coordinates as well as their IDs in grids, e.g D28, Easting: Northing: . I still haven't found a good way to export ID for each circle.

I'm working up a routine to simplify clearing some space. I've been cruising here and other places piecing together something, but what I have ended up with is a routine that deletes all of the intended information (possibly needing repetition for those hard-to-reach blocks), but also deletes dimensions from the model space.
There are several things our company does which are "non-standard" but we have been at it for a while and I am trying to work with what I was given. Following is the code.

Have Lisp to place aligned dimensions on each segment of a polyline?
I would use it for reinforcing bar detailing.
how to sensibly extract angular dimensions as attributes.
I can extract the attributes from a block containing angular dimensions, the attributes list angular dimensions as a field but don't actually list the number of degrees for the angular dimension.
It is the number of degrees that I am actually trying to obtain - but I cannot work out how to obtain the information
I need a lisp routine which will delete all the dimensions inside selected block or blocks, including nested blocks inside.

I'd like to be able to specify the width and depth of the room using a command similar to the "dist" command, and then click a point to place a text based on the distances gathered. I'd also like the text to be formated into architectural units and displayed like this: 12'-0" X 13'-5". Also, if possible, round the result to the nearest inch (to avoid 1/2" and 1/4" dimensions).

View 2 Replies View Relatedi failed to find one which would change string of a text to other for all types of objects. I mean it was usually either only multitext, or only text, dimensions or attributes.creating one which would change in abt 200 drawings:
-001
-002
-003
to:
-00001
-00002
-00003
in attributes, text, multittext, leaders, multileaders, dimensions..... at the same moment?
It is meant to be used in ScriptPro (by loading lisp in script).
If not possible, then can also open each file and run the lisp in each of them - still would save lot of time.
Is there a lisp that will allow me to do a continuous dimension, but will alternate the dimension position from low, high, low and high? If there is no lisp already created, how to create one?
See Continuous dimension attachment for example.
I work at a glass and glazing company and this is how we dimension mullion width and DLO. See typical window dimensioning attachment for window elevation with dimensions.
I have a list ("temp.dwg" "temp2.dwg") and would like to add the string "insert text here" into each item in the list resulting in ("insert text heretemp.dwg" "insert textheretemp2.dwg"). how would i go about doing that using LISP?

We have some huge models and people seem to forget to change their visual styles back to 2D wireframe before saving and exiting drawings. Some models will crash on some workstations when trying to open in a rendered mode.
