I am trying to change the current TARGET variable to 0,0,0. If the variable is not changed is causes problems with plotting. I have the VBA that will change the TARGET variable. VBA works no problems. I am wanting to replicate in LISP because I do not want to have to convert to .NET and do not want to make sure the user has the VBA loded on thier system. Here is what have so far.
;;;Get active viewport
(setq avp (vla-get-ActiveViewport (vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-acad-object))))
;;;Get current TARGET variable
(setq CTarget(vla-get-Target avp))
Here is the problem. Is changing or putting the vaiable.I have tried
(vla-put-Target avp (vlax-3D-point '(0.0 0.0 0.0)))
and
(vla-put-Target avp (vlax-make-variant (vlax-3D-point '(0.0 0.0 0.0))(vlax-variant-type CTarget)))
They either error out or nil with no change. I have even tried to locate it in the Dictionaries.
There is a command in autocad that will get a Bounded Volume from a closed polyline and a volume surface (command "AeccReportSurfBoundedVolume"). It reports the results to the screen. How to get the "Net Volume" results in to a variable using Lisp?
Maybe a lisp routine that gets information from the text screen. That would not be ideal but I could work with that.
I've created a list and want to subtract all the values within it from another variable, and assign it to a new variable. How do I do it?
Basically, I ask for ground level (assigned to variable G1), and then any number of depths beneath that (assign to list LVLLIST), and I want to return the value of the bottom point. So it's all the values in LVLLIST added together and subtracted from G1. And assign it to a new variable BASE.
For example,
G1 = 650.00
LVLLIST = (1.23 23.26 0.13 50.23)
(setq BASE (- G1 LVLLLIST))
How to write some code which could create variable names like var1, var2, var3, etc. I need to do this because I have a large number to create and the actual number is variable and unknown.
Instead of manually writing a large number of line like
(setq var1 value1)
(setq var2 value2) etc
I used to be able to put 1 line in a loop to create and assign a large number of variables. I remember that it involved the use of the set (not setq) and read functions.
Is there anyway to program variable names?
What I was thinking of was in a loop some times I need multiple sets of similar variables but am not sure how many sets I am going to need. I would like to be able to increment the variable names each time the loop runs.
Somehow, I manage to turn of one variable that display errors on command line.
For example:
(seq a 6)
suppose to return, on command line, something like:
error no function definition: SEQ
A2008. Is there a setvar, setenv, registry entry etc. that can be used to change the scale of Multileaders with annotative off to have the same effect that DIMSCALE has on Q leaders? I want to have a single scale-independent Multileader style and modify it on the fly along with DIMSCALE and LTSCALE. I'd use Qleader but UCS's do odd things to text position and orientation.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to use a string as a variable if this is possible. I've got:

how to write a lisp command, or function, that will save my newly created drawing with a file name is that is called up from a variable.
For example:
(setq filename variable)
(command "saveas" "r14" "filename")
and i would want the outcome to be: variable.dwg, rather than filename.dwg. I have tried numerous different ways of doing this with command prompt and cant seem to get anything to stick. Everything that works just creates a file named "filename.dwg", which is not what i want to do.
How do I check, with LISP, if a System Variable is read only? In particular ANNOTATIVEDWG. This one is read/write when there are no annotative objects in a drawing, but read-only if there are.

I would like to create a lisp that does the following:

The (custom)-plotscale is stored in the $var "gvpsc".
I've tried to ajust the following lisp code. But I couldn't extract the part I need.
The problem is, the code checks all the layouts and updates all the titlblocks one by one.
Truely a good code.
The only problem is, I don't have multiple layouts and I have a variable titleblock name.

I want to use it to plot different views which I will append to the command when it is called from within AutoCAD.This code will, of course, print view one.Currently my worst case is 25 views and, for that situation, I have simply repeated this code 25 times with a different function name an view number for each view. Eventually I would like to make a dialog box that would allow me to select with checkboxes (toggles) the views to print and with a button to print all.
For example, if I wanted to plot view 25, after I had loaded this lisp routine I would enter, on the command line in AutoCAD, the function name ("pp" perhaps?) followed by some variable (in this case 25, but could be any view name. ie. 01, elev, detail) and the view name would be inserted at the appropriate place.

I have attached 2 lisp files. datblkx5 makes a block of selection, inserts the block with a 5x distortion, explodes it, and corrects the text for width factor and text height. This one works fine.
I wanted to add the feature of scaling my selection with a user input value. This is the lisp datblkxxx. This one doesn't work. (that is it doesn't correct the text for width factor). I can't figure it out.
Is it possible to change the system variable "TEXTSIZE" with an autolisp routine? I have hundreds of drawings that have varying textsize settingings and I can't get it to let me change it, unless I go into "Style" and manually change the value to "0" before I run the routine, and there are simply too may drawings to do that everytime. So, is there a way to reset the textsize to 0 through Lisp?

Main question: I need the user to be able to type a command. Then use it or cancel it. Then i need them to type another lisp command. In the second command i need to know (have the string of) the previous command they typed in. How do i get that string?
What I have tried.
I have looked at "LASTPROMPT" though not extensively, and i believe it would just return "ineedhelp" if i tried that.
I have looked at "CMDNAMES" but that gives the command you're currently in.
And I have found one page on this forum titled: Command Line History Macro, but there was no answer on that post.
I could create a global variable for that string, but then I would have to put the set code in every function I create. Nope, will not.
Backstory:
There's a person that is going to make how-to videos on how to use some of my lisp routines.
Anyhow, I need the user to be able to type in "ineedhelp" and the lisp that runs must get the last command's string go to the shared drive and pull up the video file for that command.
I have made a lisp that opened a word file before, and if i could get the string of the previous command, i'm fairly certain that I can get the videos to work.
There will be approximately 60 lisp routine video's.
I'm trying to make an autolisp that "flips" a third party variable. No luck, command line won't recognize after it loads. I've made similar variable flips that work ??
