Is it possible to include a hyperlink with an alert message. I'm not finding any information.
I already know about VLA-LAUNCHBROWSERDIALOG, but I'd rather not launch two dialogs if not absolutely necessary.
I'm new to the programming thing, and this one has me stumped. We have a problem with people accidently dragging xrefs. The simple solution would be to put all of the xrefs on a locked layer, but I was vetoed on this suggestion. I've been trying to figure out if I can write a lisp that will do one of the following: Give an alert if an xref is moved.Not allow an xref to be moved.Tell the user when they open a drawing that an xref is not at 0,0,0 insertion point.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to have an alert box pop up at a certain point in the code which gives the user a chance to cancel the LISP program and not proceed any further?
View 9 Replies View RelatedSometimes someone dimensions a floor plan and starts one direction and then "goes back " the other way over the top of the dimension they just placed, which causes the dimension lines to overlap, which in turn shows incorrect distances when viewing on paper. Any lisp routine that can alert you to the fact that there are overlapping dimension lines (not the extension lines) in a drawing by changing them to color White or something? I have pasted a routine that we use which changes all dimenions with "modified text" to color white. That way I can see if someone just typed in the dimension distance they wanted instead of what was actually there.
(defun c:dc (/ dim_length)
(setq ssmod (ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "Dimension")(cons 1 "~"))))
(if ssmod
(progn
(setq dim_length (sslength ssmod))

I was interested in finding out if it's possible to write a LISP routine that would execute a pop-up dialog box say every 30 minutes. This is strictly for ergonomic reasons to remind the user to take a pre-determined break.
I am not an expert code writer by any means, but I imagine the routine would autoload and resetting the timer to 0 upon opening a particular drawing file. The LISP routine would then run in the background and run the (alert "") command when the timer reaches 30m 0s. When the user presses the OK button, the timer resets to 0 again.
I have the following code to delete all hatch in a drawing. At the end of the command there is a notice that all hatch have been eliminated.
However, the last message displayed is: "Hatch boundary associativity removed".
(defun c:deletehatch ( / d l )(vl-load-com) (setq d (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))) (vlax-for a (vla-get-layers d)(if (eq :vlax-true (vla-get-lock a))(progn(vla-put-lock a :vlax-false)(setq l (cons a l)) ) ) ) (vlax-for b (vla-get-blocks d)(if (eq :vlax-false (vla-get-isxref b)) (vlax-for o b (if (wcmatch (vla-get-objectname o) "AcDbHatch")(vla-delete o)) ) ) ) (foreach a l (vla-put-lock a :vlax-true)) (vla-regen d acallviewports) (princ (strcat "All HATCH have been removed")) (princ))
I was wondering if there is a way to have a message such as the following show up when a lisp routine was loaded using "Load Application" in ACAD?
1) Load Application "ZAP"
2) lisp routine is successfully loaded and the message "Type ZAP at the command line to initiate ZAP routine"

I'm working with our new copy of AutoCAD 2013 and using the Visual LISP IDE to create code. I also have an AC2009 machine right next to me for other tasks. On the 2013 machine when I click the "Load Active Edit Window" button it switches to the console screen but there are no messages printed like:
$
; 37 forms loaded from #<editor "C:/LISP/My-Lisp.lsp">
_$
This of course is making it extremely difficult to debug. I have checked the environment settings and they are exactly the same on each machine. The AC2009 machine prints the messages but the AC2013 machine is just giving me a blank console screen.
I recently upgraded to a new PC.
We get a lot of files from customers where there are multiple drawing borders all in model space.
Sometimes as many as 150-200 borders in one file that we need to print for the shop floor.
Years ago, I wrote a LISP routine that prompts for printer settings (Fit or To scale, etc.) and then prompts for
2 corners of each border and then writes a script file and launches it to batch plot each drawing.
My thinking was that I had to manually pick each drawing anyway, this LISP routine saved me from having to issue the plot command over and over.
Anyway, since my PC upgrade, the LISP routine fails.
There is a line of code that answers the plot prompt for output device name where I have the same printer as always.
When the script runs up to that line, AutoCAD tells me that printer is "not found".
So then it keeps reading the rest of the script lines which answer other plot prompts and repeatedly says "device not found".
If I manually print, I can choose the same print settings in the dialog box that the script file has and it can "find" that same device.
Why I can print manually but the LISP/script file gives me a "not found" error.
BTW, when I upgraded my PC, I also upgraded AutoCAD from 2012 to 2013..
I upgrading all our lisp routines to 2013. I have a routing that modifies a block attribute. Then ENTMOD returns with the proper information. ENTUPD reurns the same enity name. The block never changes. The same routine woks in 2010.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOne of our users has recently upgraded from AutoCAD 2005 to AutoCAD 2014. He has a LISP routine that will no longer work and I'm not sure why.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI know how to retrieve the entity information from the block, but can't figure out how to write the loop statement to loop, look for first attribute, assign to a variable, goto next attribute, assign to different variable, etc., etc...
In my research, most programs I've seen it execute the loop, assign to a variable, then print/put that data somewhere, loop again and utilize the same variable to print/put the next data somewhere.
I would like each attribute within a block to be assigned a separate variable.
The good news is that, if I were righting a routine that locks up AutoCAD, I'm finished. The bad news is that I'm not.
The code below is the portion of a routine where I have the user select 2 points and then pass those points to the Zoom command and the M2P osnap. The problem is that, when the Mid Between 2 Points osnap tries to use the first point, it returnns an "Invalid point" message, enters a loop and locks ACAD.
(defun C:ZC ()
(setq PointOne (getpoint "First point of M2P "))
(setq PointTwo (getpoint "Second point of M2P "))

Should SETENV/GETENV be writing/reading to and from the System Registry?
After installing ACAD 2013 as a trail this now seems to be the behaviour, only found it when GETENV calls started to fail. This has also affected previous versions installed on the same workstations.
I have a macro that i have been using in autocad 2012 for a simple copy & rotate command as follows
^C^C_select;auto;\_copy;p;;0,0;0,0;_move;p;;\_rotate;p;;\redraw
For some reason it now does not work in 2013 the macro exits after the copy part of the macro is finished & fails to let you rotate the copied object.
I'm trying to check for the existence of a drive using lisp, then if not found perform a task (represented in my below example by the alert)
(if (vl-file-directory-p "C: en") T)(alert "exists"))
I know it doesn't work because if I change the T to nil as demonstrated bellow I should invoke the opposite reaction from autocad but instead I get the exact same outcome which is an alert telling me the file exists?
(if (vl-file-directory-p "C: en") nil)(alert "exists"))
My code returns the error, but it still works.

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
)

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

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.
I want to save my routing of entering every text to change its content text style.
(Notice:select all from outside without editing mode will not do the job)
