I'm trying to set up a height label for sections and elevations. I then want to update it with a shortcut.
I already tried it with a field that shows me the y coordinates, but it won't show me the "+-"0.00 sign,when I put it to zero level. It only writes "0.00".
A quick lisp routine to extract the elevations of a selection set of 2d polylines? I have a massive "contour" file composed of 2d polylines with elevations. I need to find the min and max polyline elevation in selected areas. I can't figure out how to extract just the elevations of my selected polylines so I can quickly see the elevation values?
View 9 Replies View Relatedhave a lisp routine that will ask you the starting elevation and the elevation interval, then allows you start selecting polylines and it assigns them new elevations based on your choices?
It seems years ago I had a routine that did this and it also changed the color of the polyline so you could tell which ones you had already changed, but I can't seem to find it now.
I have this lisp which will display the height of a 3D object to 2 dps. What I need is for 3dps to be displayed but I have no real understanding of LISP coidng so I can't work out where this is specified in the routine.
Why this LISP does not work when I try to use it in a drawing which has a Pointools POD file working (or previously had one) within it?
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.

I would like a routine that will determine if 'Page Setup A' is in the drawing and if so, apply 'Page Setup B' to all all layouts within the drawing. I would like to have it run upon drawing open in the ACAD.lsp

Is there any way of applying a new page setup to all the layouts at once?

I only do programming when absolutely needed so it usually only happens every couple years. I wrote this routine to count nested blocks inside of dynamic blocks to count parking spaces. The routine worked fine but was relying on the ltscale to scale a block containing an attribute for the total number of spaces. I want to update the routine to use an annotative block so the scale doesn't have to be set. I changed my block containing the attribute but now when I run my routine, the attribute height gets changed each time the routine is run. The text just gets larger and larger. Here is the portion of the routine where the attribute info is gathered and updated with the new value for that attribute. If you need the entire routine, I can post it with a slight modification so it will work outside our network.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to revise an old dialog box so that I can add some new options but I'm finding it difficult to shorten the label for a radio button enough to get the box width to look reasonable. I read somewhere that Windows fonts cause the label lengths to hold extra space for each character. The webpage that I found this on said the solution was to make a new line for the label, which sounded great to me, but they did not tell how to do it. After much searching, I figured out how to add an additional line to the label, but my program now refuses to function correctly. I set the middle button before initiating the dialog in my lisp, but when I select a different option, the original button remains selected along with the user's choice. The program actually works, using the last button selected, but I really want the button to respect the pick by the user and deselect the default button.
This worked perfectly when I had only two selections, and it still worked perfectly when I added the third option, but it just doesn't like it when I try to add a new line for the long description in the middle of a radio column.
I'm barely functional with dialog boxes..
DCL in question:
:boxed_radio_column { label = "Location"; width = 20; height = 2; fixed_width = true; fixed_height = true; alignment = top; :radio_button{key = "sl-AD"; label = "Spring Lake Applications";} :text_part{label = " and Distributor Services";} :radio_button{key = "sl-BP"; label = "Spring Lake BP Systems";} :radio_button{key = "gr"; label = "Grand Rapids";} }
lisp has the following in this order:
load dialog - I have a loading function that works fine
(set_tile"sl-BP""1")
(action_tile"sl-AD" "(TGW-Setup_01 $key)")
(action_tile"sl-BP" "(TGW-Setup_01 $key)")
[Code] .....
Of course, these are just the pertinent sections of a much larger setup dialog, but I didn't think I needed to post all the functions that this program is doing, since you'd have a difficult time running this without my templates, printers and a number of support files.
Like I said, it seems to be choking on my adding :text_part { Label = " and Distributor Services";} instead of making this a single line of the label for the button above it.
Why does this cause the default radio button to stop releasing?
I found the following lisp routine on the forums and would like to know how to make a couple changes.
1. Have two line of text with the N or S on top of the E or W.
2. Include the foot symbol after the distance
3. Have the N,S,E,W placed before the distance, ex S 0.00'
4. Eliminate the negative sign
5. Use my current text height instead of dimtxt height
(Currently using Autodesk Land Desktop 2009 and want the text to come in based on the current text style since we use several different scales and text depending on project)This is a great routine that is going to make life much easier for us.

I have many 2D Plines with an Elevation : some Normal , some have been splined --> 1st problem
I would like to label them with :
- either a Block with ONE attribut : the elevation
- either a MText with a blank Mask behind
As you wish ...
Question : Size/Height of the Block or MText ?
Some 2D Plines are very long (2nd problem) so I would like a question like :
Label each Pline every xxxx Units ?
So on a Pline Contour of 2000 meters, I could have the elevation (Block or MText) every 50 meters ...
Of course I would like that the Block or Mtext will have to follow (rotation) the Pline (splined or not) where the label is inserted !
I am trying to use autolisp to change the point label style in autolisp. Mostly teach you how to do it manually, I not sure there is a way to do it in autolisp.
View 5 Replies View RelatedUltimately 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 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?

I am facing the following problem:
I’ve got a 3D model with some blocks inserted. These blocks won’t show up in 2D or 3D sections or elevations.
When I leave only the blocks on and freeze the rest of the drawing, no section is created at all (“There are no solids or surfaces that can be projected”).
None of the geometry is on the Defpoint layer. The objects are printed and DO show up in the live section preview.
have a good style to label cross sections at profile grade, top of curb, bottom of curb, grade breaks, and back of walks? Do I set a point or something in my assembly to use to label those points?
