AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Changing Text Style Used By Table Style
Jun 29, 2012I am looking for a way to change the text style used by a table style with Visual LISP. So far I have been able to get the IAcadTableStyle object from the acad_tablestyle dictionary, but there is no property for text style. Is this even possible? Code and results are below.
(defun DumpTableStyles ()
(setq dict (vla-get-dictionaries (vla-get-activedocument(vlax-get-acad-object))))
(setq TableStyles (vla-item dict "acad_tablestyle"))
(vlax-for TableStyle TableStyles
(vlax-dump-object TableStyle)

Oct 7, 2013Is there a way to programatically set a visual style before a drawing actually opens?
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.
I found a lisp with a function that looked to set viewport visual styles. But it does not seem to be supported anymore. --> (vla-put-VisualStyle vport 1)

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Change Plot Style
Feb 21, 2001Is there a way for me to change a layers plot style from one to another with LISP?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Restore Previous Text Style
Jun 5, 2012I wrote (setq oldtext (getvar "textstyle")) to save the current text style,
(setvar "textstyle" (getvar "dimtxsty")) to change the text style to the current dimension text style (which appens to be romans) and later (setvar "textstyle" oldtext) to restore the text style to its original setting but it won't work.
This is the same format used to save and restore osnap in many lisp routines.
When I check the program in the visual lisp editor, oldtext returns "standard" (the original text style - so that part works) but "textstyle" returns nil. I even tried (setvar "textstyle" "standard") to no avail. "Textstyle" remains romans.

Oct 3, 2012Is it possible to create a lisp that would change the plot style table? I don't know of any variable to type to change that. We convert drawings from Solid works to AutoCad and use the basic monochrome plot style. I'd like to easily change that since the act of doing that is repeated many times.

Feb 25, 2013I have a lisp function that is updating attribute values on a newly inserted block. The lisp function uses entget to read the attribute. Then it plugs a new value into the assoc 1 using subst, then uses entmod to update the attribute's value. It all works fine except that the attribute loses its style, i.e. assoc 7, somehow. If I do an entget on the attribute right after the entmod the assoc 7 is nil. The symptom on the drawing is that the attribute value is not visible until I close and open the drawing.
This only happens on a newly inserted block on existing drawings. If I close the drawing and reopen it then the lisp function works fine. Or If I insert the same block on a new drawing it all works fine. what would cause the assoc 7 to go missing after an entmod to change the attribute value?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Set Model Space To Display As Plot Style?
Jun 28, 2012Is there a way to get model space to "display plot styles" through a lisp routine or a script?
i'm currently setting up a whole bunch of custom tool palettes for the company I work for and instead of the icons displaying in their actual colour (at the moment they're green, which doesn't show up very well on the light grey background), I'd rather they show in the plotstyle assigned to the individual dwg's.
call up the page setup manager (while in model space) and click modify, you can then check the radio button to "display plot styles" in the top-right corner. But when you have around 100 - 200 blocks to change, that process can be rather time consuming and cumbersome!

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Mleader Style - Arrow Head Size Setting

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: List Of Workspaces For Menu Files CUI And CUIX
Dec 8, 2013Retrieving a list of Workspaces from menu files .cui and .cuix
The function to use is (workspacelist) which returns a list of workspace names, similar to (layoutlist) for retrieving a list of Layout names.
The functionality for extracting "WorkspaceRoot.cui" from .cuix requires copying the .cuix to .zip so that it can be accessed as a Windows compressed (zipped) folder which the Windows object "Shell.Application" provides.
Please rename the attachment to .lsp
I received the following error when I tried to post the .lsp: "The contents of the attachment doesn't match its file type."

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Creating Menus In Command Prompt?
Nov 22, 2011I am able in lisp to create a command prompt selection menu, easy (see code below).However what I want is for the lisp to be ready to undertake an action UNLESS I select an option.
An example is the offset command wich has a function ready to roll (namely the specify offset distance) "OR" I can interrupt the "specify offset distance" and enter one of the sub options (in the case of offset Through/ Erase/Layer).
My code attempts to offset also, UNLESS the user wishes to specify a distance.

Photoshop :: How Can I Do Drop-down Menus, Horizontal Style With Sliced PSD
May 28, 2005I'm working on a simple website for my brother's company where the designers gave me several PSD documents to slice up and arrange into HTML, PHP or whatever I choose.
He'd like to do a drop-down style menu that "kicks out" horizontally to the right (please see attachments).
how to deal with this while keeping the look of the original look and feel? As I was slicing up the PSD, I thought about making a slice that is the size of the fully-extended menu (second attachment) and make it into its own table that defaults to the "background" image or conditionally (JavaScript on-click?) displays the images in a three-row table with the images hyperlinked as expected.
I'm sort of an old-school web developer who still tries to do most of my work in HTML, ASP and JavaScript (although I'm very interested in getting into some PHP).
