I am just a begineer for auto lisp. I wrote my first program, but got stuck, I am unable to get out from while loop if i Press "enter".
(defun c:arsh ()
(while
(setq p1 (getpoint "
pick point :"))
(setq l 1500)
(setvar "osmode" 0)
(initget 7)
(setq p2 (polar p1 (dtr 0) l))

I am trying to put together a loop to enter a number greater than the previous number entered. Below is my mockup and I just cannot get it.
(defun c:22 () (while (setq d (getreal "
Specify diameter: ")) (setq $d d) (while (if (<= d $d) (progn (prompt "
Specify greater diameter.") (setq d (getreal "
Specify diameter: ")) ) ) ) (setq p1 (getpoint "
Specify point: ")) (command "CIRCLE" p1 d) ))
I am have trouble trying to figure a couple of things in the following code.
First - in the IF statement if "SD" is >= ask "Specify LAST strata number". How do I add nil?
Second - After I "Specify the LAST strata number", How do I stop the loop?
(defun C:22 () (setvar 'osmode 0) (or $S (setq $S 10)) (setq S (getdist (strcat "
Specify scale [Inches equal a Foot] <"(rtos $S 2 2)">: "))) (if (= S nil) (setq S $S)) (setq $S S) (or $BD (setq $BD 7)) (setq BD (getdist (strcat "
Specify boring depth in feet <"(rtos $BD 2 2)">: ")))

I have a little LISP I have been working on that creates a text object as a "label" for 2D ductwork our company does. It makes a field for the mlinescale as the duct width, combines with user input for duct depth, and prompts user for location to place the text. The routine is functional...however, I would like to tweak two things that I cannot figure out.
First, I would like the command to continue until the user escapes, similar to the "multiple" command in AutoCAD. I have tried adding a while loop to the majority of the routine..which works until the user escapes...then my error handler undoes everything.
Second, when asking for user input, is it possible to ask for user input without a default the first time, but thereafter remember the input as a default?
Below is the code in question...not including error handler, etc. :
(if (= ducttemp nil)(setq ducttemp 12))
(initget 6)
(setq ductdepth (getint (strcat "
Enter duct depth in inches <" (itoa ducttemp) ">, or Esc to end: ")))
(if (= ductdepth nil) (setq ductdepth ducttemp) (setq ducttemp ductdepth))

I am writing a program that allows the user to select hatched areas in a drawing and return the quantity, area, and the weight for the equivalent areas covered by tread plate.
My goal is to insert the data with text at a point of the user's choosing, so the end result is a text object in model space that looks like this:
Total Objects: 2
Total Tread Plate Area: 20.83 sq ft
.125 AL Tread Plate Weight: 40 lbs
.125 Steel Tread Plate Weight: 128.33 lbs
How to do is to have the text appear on multiple lines, instead of all across one line. Is there a way to mimic the enter key to enter the next line of text, just like when you use the text function in AutoCAD, instead of using multiple text commands and having to position each one using code.
(defun c:tread (/ cnt tot ss p sqft alwt stwt)

I have a parent directory with x-amount of folders contained inside. I say X-amount because I would like to keep adding or deleting folders as time progresses. I want the folders contained within this parent directory do be read into a lisp variable and then be printed to the command prompt till every folder is displayed by name, then the loop may stop.
View 5 Replies View Relatedi am writing something that will draw consecutive lines with a rubberband to be used as a leader from a block's insertion point. this:
(WHILE
(SETQ LN (GETPOINT "
Select Next Point (ENTER to Finish) : "))
(COMMAND "LINE" (GETVAR "LASTPOINT") LN "")
)
works, but does not include the rubber band. i tried:
(WHILE
(SETQ LP (GETVAR "LASTPOINT"))
(SETQ LN (GETPOINT LP "
Select Next Point (ENTER to Finish) : "))
(COMMAND "LINE" LP LN "")
)
which includes the rubberband, but will not exit the loop. The last break source in VLIDE shows that
(GETPOINT LP "
Select Next Point (ENTER to Finish) : ") is casuing an error. Placing
(SETQ LP (GETVAR "LASTPOINT"))
outside the loop causes all lines to be drawn from the same point rather than the endpoint of the previous line.
I am looking for a way to extract (filter) all polylines, and loop a lisp based on the number that are found within a "W" selection window.I am frustrated getting "malformed list" or errors, even after defining "n" for repeat.The code I have so far looks like this:
(defun cWW (/ p1 p2 sspw myObj ss)
(setq p1 (getpoint "
Pick first corner: "))
(setq p2 (getcorner p1 "
Specify opposite corner: "))
(if
(setq sspw (ssget "W" p1 p2 '((0 . "*POLYLINE")))
[code].....
Without the (repeat () portion, it was working ok with selection window, however it only would run the commands for a single polyline. What needs to be done without overhauling the code? The lisp has worked on a drawing-wide basis, however needs to run on only on user-windowed polylines since there are other polylines within the drawing which are attached to layouts via viewports.
Is there a way to have the Arrow leader convert to Loop leader in one click. Our company standards use diamond tags and sometimes i have to change the arrow to loop by inserting a leader.

It looks like the input box on the 'add/manage FTP locations' windows for user is limited to 26 creators which is a little odd. where the data is stored so I can either edit the information in text pad myself or if there is another way around it.
I've written my first little Lisp function.What it's for is drawing a simple borehole profile that can then be used to draw stylized cross sections on top of it.
Upon start the lisp, pick a point on screen (to get the X coordinate [x1 below]), then enter ground level at the command line [g1 below], then enter as many thicknesses as are present in the borehole log (will vary, but typically between 3-12). These I added to a list, because that seemed to make sense when I did it.
What I want it to do then is draw a pline from x1, g1 down to the next point (x1,g1 minus the 1st thickness), then the next (x1,g1 minus the 2nd thickness) etc., to the bottom of the borehole.
Then my CAD guys can sit there, and using the borehole logs, enter the values of the boreholes and it draws them on the screen, making it easy to join th dots.
It might be good if it placed a Acad point at each point as well, but I'm not overly bothered about that at the minute.
Here's my attempt so far.
(prompt "Type 'e1' to run...")
(defun c:e1 ( / )
(command "graphscr") (setq x1 (getpoint "
Pick insertion point:")) (setq x1a (car x1))
(initget (+ 1 2 4)) (setq g1 (getreal "
Enter ground elevation: "))
(initget (+ 1 2 2)) (setq lvllist nil ) (while (setq lvl (getreal "
Enter layer thickness <Exit>: ")) (setq lvlList (append lvllist (list lvl))) )
(princ) )
what I'm trying to do is have the program select the block and then I want to get out of it what the Block Name is, so I can then compare it to the list of block names that I want the program to move. Here is what I was trying to use:
(setq enlist2 (ssget "_X" (list '(0 . "INSERT") (cons 10 (trans '(0 0 0) 1 0)))))(setq en (entget enlist2))
However, when I do this, I get this error message: Error: bad argument type: lentityp <Selection set: 1e02>

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.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find acceptable point values to feed to the vlax-3d-point function for a vla-addmtext function. With vanilla lisp I just provide the point as x y = "7/32" "2-3/8". So I assumed that I could drop a 0 in for the z like: (VLAX-3D-POINT "7/32" "2-3/8" 0).
Then I thought I was going to be tricksy and try (vlax-3D-point (getpoint)) believing that I could pick the point and get what I need to feed the function, but yet again, no deal. The command line gave me:
