AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Turn Off Explode On Insert
Oct 10, 2011
I have used Lisp and the insert command to do *blockname to explode the insertion of a block. This sets the explode check mark on the insert dialog. Once I set it on the next insert an explode occurs. I do not find away to turn it off.
Is there some trick to use that will uncheck the explode box. I don't seem to find any system variable. I thought of inserting a dummy block without the asterisk. I thought about trying to do a cancel somehow on insert.

It's been too long since I created one of these for Toolbars. I need a macro that will insert and explode a block. I just need the block's content, not the block itself. I can create a maco to explode a block with no path, but can't remember how to include the "*" in a file with a folder path to explode the block while its being inserted. Because of spaces in the file name, quotes (") must be around the path.

I have a block that i want to insert several times and revised each one to be different to do this i would have to insert it and rename the blocks that come in and then reinsert i would like to insert and have a lisp explode the main block and rename the other 2 blocks with a suffix at the end depending on how many times its in the drawing... can this even be done? My original block name that will be first inserted is "BENT PULLEY NOTES" it needs to explode after i drop it in and then there are 2 blocks within that called "Bent Pulley" and "Bent Pulley DYN" that i was hoping to keep the names but add a number at the end depending on how many are in the drawing already...
here is a lisp that i have found... it would work if i didn't have nested blocks and only wanted the one block to be insert and not explode...
(defun c:Test (/ e i name Bname )
(setq e nil)
(command "_.-insert" "Drawing1.dwg" pause "" "" "")
(if (setq e (entlast))
[Code] .......

I have multiple floor plans in a drawing one of which I need to explode 3-4 times to change the lineweight to 9mm. I have tried to put something that will repeat explode but I am having problems with plines within the blocks not exploding.
(defun c:tmp (ss)
(setq ss (ssget))
(setvar 'qaflags 1)
(repeat 3 (vl-cmdf "._explode" ss ""))
(setvar 'qaflags 0)
(vl-cmdf "chprop" ss "" "lw" "0.09" "")
)

Would like to be able to select mtext explode it get x y coords of last line of text then turn it back to mtext and then launch mtext at a @0,-0.5 justification TL width 5 and display the ribbon.
All seems to work except the (command ...)
Below is my attempt.
(prompt "Select Note")
(setq ss (ssget))
(command "explode" ss)
(setq ss (ssget "l")) ;get last line of text
(setq ent (entget (ssname ss 0))
ent1 (cdr (assoc 10 ent))) ;get x y coords
(command "undo" "1") ;set exploded mtext back to mtext
(setvar "lastpoint" ent1)
(command "mtext" "@0,-0.4" "j" "TL" "w" "5")

I have a routine that counts dynamic blocks by visibility state and stores that information then prompts for scale and color and stores that information. Then a legend begins to build from the data and a collection of blocks to reflect the dynamic blocks and their visibility state. Everything works great on all of the machines around the office except on one. When the legend begins building, the one user is getting the DDATTE dialog instead of allowing the values to populate as expected. So, I had him change ATTREQ to 0 an run again. No deal, the same thing happens again and again. And; it only occurs on the one machine.

is there a way to code inserting all pdfs in a multi-page pdf at once?
another one would be, say, you have several pdfs in your dwg that represent different aspects of the same space so you select them (they are on top of each other) and it puts them into a dynamic block automatically in different visualization states (maybe labeled 01,02,03 etc.) and you make one of the sheets visible with a drop down button.
i might be able to figure out the later if there is a way to do the former.

Any way to insert a block onto many different drawings quickly? I have a title block I need to insert into about 100 drawings. It seems very tedious to open each drawing and insert 100 times.

I tried to adapt the code provided by scottbolton in the "Insert block at intersection" thread to suit my needs. I would like to be able to enter a block name, and let that block be inserted at intersection points.
But i keep getting a DXF error.
(defun c:sbx (/)
(vl-load-com)
;;;define block used in program
(setq bloktype (getvar "USERS5"))
(prompt "asiswaarde: ")

I need a routine that inserts a point at the insert point or block named "Insert_Point" at every block in the file. The routine could use the current layer, which would be set prior to starting the routine. If it could request the user for the PDMode value and PDSize that would be great too. This will assist me in creating block libraries.

(setq YY (rtos (cadr point) 2 20)) ;; y koordinata bloka
(setq ZZ (rtos (caddr point) 2 20)) ;; z koordinata bloka
(command "point" xx,yy,zz) is not working
!xx="5582453.414999999" but when i (atoi xx) i get 5582453 no dedimals...

I have an old routine that freezes layers that are off. I would like it to also turn off layers that are frozen. It took a while but I think I figured out how the old routine works. I was having trouble determining how the routine would know if a layer was off or not. I found if the color was a negative number that meant the layer was off (cond ((< (dxf 62 l) 0) (command "f" (dxf 2 l)))). How do I tell if the layer is frozen?
I was also wondering what the character was after the DXF code ie. (dxf 62 l). Is is a lowercase L or an upper case i and what function does it have?
Below is the old routine that freezes layers that are off.
(defun c:fo (/ l dxf code list)
(defun dxf (code list)
(cdr (assoc code list))
);defun
(setq l (tblnext "layer" T))
[code].........

Is there any way to programmatically turn off specific status toggles from the status bar? I would like to switch off all of our users' DUCS toggle so they can't accidentally turn it on. They all have independent CUI files.
It's easy enough to switch off UCSDETECT at drawing startup, this only goes part way. It's so easy to switch it back on via the status toggles - hence the need to switch it off programmatically at drawing start.

I am working on a lisp file that lets you select a block and automaticaly change the layer and color in block editor. Afther this it exits block editor, deletes the original block and places the new one.
It works fine accept for the last part.
When i incert my new name whit the insert command it automaticaly changes the name whit autofil so it wil still pot my originial block (the new block name is only two characters shorter than the old one).

We are using autocad 2010 and I have written a routine that will insert several blocks on to several layers. I thought it worked flawlessly, until I used it. Our drawings use layer states. When one state is in use, all the other layers are frozen. We want to insert a block, at a specific point chosen by the user, and the lisp routine will insert a couple of other blocks at that same point, but on a layer that is frozen. Three blocks installed in all, at the same point, on two layers. The routine works if all layers are thawed, but not if the layers are frozen.
(defun c:lP1 () ; this starts the routine
(setq temperr *error*) ; saves *error*
(setq *error* rerr) ; sets the new error variable
(command "_.Undo" "_mark") ; start of "undo" command
[code]....

I figured out how to entmake a Block with attributes based on user input for insert point, rotation, etc.
My block is a detail bubble that is a circle with a tail, that cuts the object and shows direction of cut. I will include that with this post.
My problem lies in this. I've used dynamic block features such as linear for the tail length, and the cut length, and angle for the direction of the tail.
My old routine was simple, it would ask for detail point and angle. From that it would insert a block that was just the bubble and draw the tail and cut with a polyline.
Since then I've been able to use entmake, which is a lot more powerful for creating entities in AutoCAD. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to add the dynamic properties of my "new" detail block that has the tail, cut and bubble in one.
what I need in the entmake statement to make this create programmatically instead of inserting the block, then modifying it, if possible.

take a look at this piece of my LISP-routine.
(command "_.block" pause pause ss "")
where:
ss - is a Selection set of some entities
In the rest of code, I don't change the values of initdia, or cmdecho, or whatever else
I haven't sill understood them that well.The problem is the following:
When My routine executes this line, I am promted for:
1. block name - that's OK
2. insertion point - that's OK
3. then the block-command receives correctly the entities from ss-selection set - that's OK
4. then all the object dissapear! **Problem here**
The block is created... I can insert it in the drawing from the block-data base...
But is there a way to let this block stay in the drawing ? without disappearing?

I would like to turn off the express tool visiblity in the menu bar. I have turned them off in the CUI. (in all workspaces, I have removed the aecmain.lsp witch i see loads into the toolbar, I have unloaded the partial cui and reloaded). If I set the workspace to one which it is turn off it goes away. Problem is that when I open again "its back". Is there another place that I don't know about that controls?
I "do" want to load the express tools. I don't want them to show in the menubar nor the ribbon. I want to allow command line or custom menu macro to call. I was able to do this in 2010.
