A code that scans all through the drawing and selects the texts of the same value regardless of the layer, color, style, ...etc..
Just selecting duplicates for highlighting nothing more.
Someday the light bulb is going off and I will understand mapcar and lambda. However.....I have a program that reads an excel file sheets. Sometimes the sheet only has 1 column, sometimes 2 or more.
I need to convert the saved values from the sheet to a list with the text spaced evenly. Unfortunately the text lengths vary. I would like a subroutine to pass the list to and return a list of strings with text aligned with padded spaces allowing for the longest text in each column. I am using the new list in a dialog box with fixed_width_font=true (so columns align).
Example 1-
(setq List1 (list "Col1-Line1" "Col1-Line2" "Col1-Line3-longer" "Col1-Line4"))
(AlignText List1)
returns
"Col1-Line1"
"Col1-Line2"
"Col1-Line3-longer"
"Col1-Line4"
so no padding needed
Example 2 -
(setq List2 (list (list "Col1-Line1" "Col1-Line2" "Col1-Line3-longer" "Col1-Line4") (list "Col2-Line1-longer" "Col2-Line2" "Col1-Line3" "Col2-Line4")))
(AlignText List1)
returns
"Col1-Line1 Col2-Line1-longer"
"Col1-Line2 Col2-Line2 "
"Col1-Line3-longer Col2-Line3 "
"Col1-Line4 Col2-Line4 "
Example 3 -
(setq List3 (list (list "Col1-Line1" "Col1-Line2-longer" "Col1-Line3" "Col1-Line4") (list "Col2-Line1-longer" "Col2-Line2" "Col1-Line3" "Col2-Line4") (list "Col3-Line1-longer" "Col3-Line2" "Col1-Line3" "Col3-Line4")))
returns
"Col1-Line1 Col2-Line1-longer Col3-Line1-longer"
"Col1-Line2-longer Col2-Line2 Col3-Line2 "
"Col1-Line3-longer Col2-Line3 Col1-Line3 "
"Col1-Line4 Col2-Line4 Col3-Line4 "
How can I pass the contents of a cell value (text string) to Acad? I want the user to click on a cell, then have lisp use the string as the name of a block to insert.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to select multiple instances of text (dtext) with different strings but want to change all of the fomats to the same settngs. I have searched high and low on the web to no avail. I am using AutoCAD 2012.
For example: I want the routine to find all instances of "AA", "AB", "AC", "AD", "BA", "BB", "BC", "BD", etc... all the way up to "ZD".
Next I want all of those text entities to change to the following text formats:
Text Style = STANDARD_96Layer = F-ANNO-CKTText Justification = MIDDLE CENTERText Width = .8
Getting this to work with just finding one string at a time with the ssget function seems simple enough, but it's getting it to work with multiple strings that I can't get past.
I'm making a program that reads a property file that follows the format:
"key=value" for each line on the text file.
One specific line has the key "file" and the value is some file path that includes a space.file=C:/my folder/my file.txt
Now I can extract what the key and value is for any given line in the file.However, I want to put all of the data into an Associative List so that I will not need to keep opening the file each time I search for information. I've been using the cons function in order to create a dotted list, which is successful. However I have an issue when I add this dotted list to the end of my associative list.
Suppose I have a key and a value already stored inside variables. Below I have two lines of code, first the dotted list portion is printed, and works as expected. The second line adds that dotted list to the associative list:
(princ "Cons: ")(princ (cons key val)) (princ "") ;Prints (file . C:/my folder/my file.txt)(setq assocList (append assocList (cons key val))) ;Error message here.
The error that I receive says "; error: bad list: "C:/my folder/my file.txt"..Here is the change:
(setq assocList (append assocList (list (cons key val))))
Now, the dotted list is inserted properly and looks like this after printing the whole associative list: ((version . 1.0.1) (file . C:my foldermy file.txt))
(layoutlist) ... returns a list of strings of the layout tabs in the drawing.I've used this ages... Isn't it a core lisp function, or is it coming from express tools or somewhere else?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat a lisp routine would look like for selecting all items on layer 5.

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 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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.
As my code doesn't work, I wonder what's the most effective way to detect errors in lisp
I have two attributes "REVN" and "REVD" in a block "ATT" that I would like to change (globally preferably) to the following.
(1) Existing text to keyboard entry text.
(2) Colour from existing to 10
I am a bit lost in the (command "-attdef" .......)
(defun c:atc ()
(setq rev (getstring "Please enter review"))
(setq dat (getstring "please enter date"))
(command "-attdef" .."ATT".."REVN"....."c" "10")..)
(command "-attdef" .."ATT".."REVD"....."c" "10")..)
)
When I click on an object to retrieve it's extended data, the data keeps writing to the right, it does not return to the next line, when the text approaches the end of the screen. Very difficult to analyze information.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to know is there any formula/calculation for the width of text object before creation/insertion? At now I used approximated width size via a simple .

Is there a way to move all 3.5mm text to layer text3.5 and move all 5mm text to layer text5.
A program that prompts:"select objects:" then I can select some objects like as text, line, circle,... after that program find all texts in selected items and swap text
swap means: xxx/yyy ===> yyy/xxx ; "/" is a divisor
swap function for one text is here:
(defun c:swap ( / pos ent el txt)
(vl-load-com)
(if(null #div#)(setq #div# "/"))
(setq #div#
(if(=(setq tmp(getstring(strcat "
Divisor character: <"#div#"> ")))"")
#div# tmp
)
[Code]....
but I want a program to prompt me like this:
(prompt "Select objects:")(terpri)
(setq a (ssget '((0 . "TEXT"))))
and gets divisor char </>:
after that:
(setq n (sslength a))
(repeat n
....
)
repeats n times, n=number of texts in my selection
3rd party tool which didn't match our scaling needs the file is a fas so I have tried to reverse engineer the whole function using trial and error. The following code works perfect except we need multiple (x amount) lines of text I have at current the M txt function which mimics and is effective for today however we need all lines to be individual.

I have inside every text,Mtext contents different text style like Arial_1 , Arial_2.
How i can give all the contents inside one style ? the normal procedure i will enter inside text to enter editing mode and changing text format style one by one. I want it once.

(Notice:select all from outside without editing mode will not do the job)

I use the bounding box (vla-getboundingbox) to assess parameters of blocks. These blocks have text on some of the faces that extends beyond the simple dimensions of the blocks themselves. I'm wanting to have bounding box ignore the text and can't sort it out. I've tried putting the text on a separate layer and turning it off and freezing it.
I've considered looking at sub entities and filtering out the text but I don't know if there is a solution here or not.
I have an mdb database, with one table called MATRIX. That table has seven relevant fields, see attachment. What I want to have is for every language an txt file.
Like for example:
DUT.txt
2BK1;BATTERIJKAST sBk
2RK1;REMKAST sBk
and so on
ENG.txt
2BK1;BATTERY CUBICLE sBk
2RK1;BRAKE CUBICLE sBk
and so on
ITA.txt, the same
DEU.txt, the same
ESP.txt, the same
FRA.txt, the same
This is a routine that draws a line between duplicate text.
Would it be possible to have the line as bold red p-line so that its easier to identify.
;; This AutoLISP routine examines all the user-selected TEXT and MTEXT items,
;; and draws a line on the current layer between any two that have identical
;; string values.
;; Leading and trailing blanks spaces are ignored.
;; %% modifiers, like %%u, are not ignored.
;; Upper- and lower-case differences are not ignored.

I've looked around several places for a LISP that will alphabetize existing text. I cant seem to find what I need. I am looking for a routine where I can manually select text in a given order to get the outcome of AA,AB,AC,AD, or BA,BB,BC., etc.
I've attached a drawing to better explain what I am looking for. I do not know how to write LISP routines, but I know a little to be able to modify an existing one.
