AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Using SSGET To Select A Block To Move It
Feb 3, 2012
I'm having an issue with using the SSGET to select a block so I can move it. I'm changing the UCS to be at the center of the top view in the program(user selects center) and the block is at 0,0,0 after changing the UCS. However when I use SSGET it doesn't select it. So I used:
(setq en(car (entsel "
Select a block :")))(setq enlist(entget en))
and it lists the DXF Code of 10 as
(10 15.0893 13.5165 0.0)
How can I then select it if I don't necessarily know where the block is going to be?

If you do a LIST command on a dynamic block... AutoCAD tells you the Block Name as well as the Anonymous Block name.
How can I use ssget to snag all Dynamic Blocks that use the 'Real Block'?

I've been twigging around with a selectionset, but no luck. I need to build a ss with several named blocks and a few dynamic blocks which get selected as anonymous. Unfortunately not all dynamic blocks should be selected and I can find no way of either filtering out a list of dynamic blocks to exclude nor any way to campare to a list of dynamic blocks that I want selected. Below is the best idea that I had but if I wrap it into a foreach with an exclusion list, I get an empty selection set returned. (I'm guessing that I need to trim the pairs each iteration and only return the matches instead.)
(SETQ blklst (LIST "Cleaner" "DRAIN" "Return" "Therapy""PoolLight" "Paraleveler" "Waterleveler" "Skimmer" "UMSLEEVE") blst "Cleaner, DRAIN, Return, Therapy,PoolLight,Paraleveler,Waterleveler,Skimmer,UMSLEEVE")(IF (AND (SETQ ss (SSGET "x" (LIST '(0 . "INSERT") (CONS 2 (STRCAT "`*U*" blst)) '(410 . "Model")))) (FOREACH i blklst (MAPCAR '(LAMBDA (x)(IF (NOT (EQ i (VLA-GET-EFFECTIVENAME (VLAX-ENAME->VLA-OBJECT (CADR x)))))(SSDEL (CADR x) ss) ) ) (SSNAMEX ss)) ) ) (WHILE (SETQ Ent (SSNAME ss 0)) (SETQ BlkName (CDR (ASSOC 2 (ENTGET Ent)))) (IF(SETQ tempList (ASSOC BlkName EndList)) (SETQ EndList (SUBST (CONS BlkName (1+ (CDR tempList))) tempList EndList))(SETQ EndList (CONS (CONS BlkName 1) EndList)) ) (SSDEL Ent ss) ))
The other code is long and I'd rather not confuse things; if I do not try to filter out any Unames, then everything works great and fast. Once I add in the "foreach i blklst" the code breaks and I get:
; error: null interface pointer: #<VLA-OBJECT 0000000000000000>
returned.

I wonder if I have to check if the "ssget" is empty.
I have a lisp to zoom extents in visible objects on the screen.
My interest is to filter before applying:If I have selected objects, it zooms in these objects. If I'm not have selected objects, continue as it is today, applying a zoom in the visible scene.
The result would be similar to a zoom of "3dsmax" (press the Z key)
The atual code
(defun c:ZOBJECTS(/ selectprev)(SETQ selectprev (SSGET "_P"))(command "._UCS" "View")(command "._zoom" "extents")(command ".__zoom" "object" "cross" "-1e99,-1e99" "1e99,1e99" "")(command "._UCS" "previous")(command "._select" selectprev ""))

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>

Is there any way to isolate an item in a list for a filter? I'm setting a filter for SSGET and know that I can use the dotted pairs and I know I can use logical comparisions but what I really want to do is filter a single varialbe in the DXF group 10. For example, I'd like to only get entities with a specific Z value in DXF 10. Or even better to filter for a specified range of Y value or X value in DXF 10. If I could write something like (cons 10 (list * * 8.0)) where the asterisks were wild cards, that would do it but I'm not aware of such a wildcard. Is there any way to isolate a portion of DXF 10 in the filter?

I have some strings like the ones below. They are always in the same format. The first line is Cold Water, the second is Hot Water and the third is Hot Water Return.
I want to build a selection set based on whether it is CW, HWS or HWR. Right now I have a routine to retrieve the string by using ENTSEL. In other words if I want to use the line of text for Cold Water I have to select it.
I'd like to be able to window them all and filter the SS for only the string containing CW and conversly HWS and HWR. SSGET function filter.
"2''CW-52.0 WSFU"
"2''HWS-48.0 WSFU+12 GPM"
"1"HWR-12 GPM "

I have this code that I wrote years ago that I want to update to select two types of civil3d objects and show them selected with grips on the screen. This function works fine
(defun CELFEATURE ()
(ssget "_X" '((0 . "AECC_FEATURE_LINE")))
(setq sset (ssget "P"))
(if sset
(progn
(sssetfirst sset sset)
;(command "_.PROPERTIES")
)
)
)
(defun cF () (CELFEATURE))
but if I add the extra object like this which I assume is the wrong syntax i only get the second type of objects. Need correct syntax I should be using for selecting more than one object in an ssget statement.
(defun CELFEATURE ()
(ssget "_X" '((0 . "AECC_FEATURE_LINE","AECC_AUTO_CORRIDOR_FEATURE_LINE")))
(setq sset (ssget "P"))
(if sset
(progn
(sssetfirst sset sset)
;(command "_.PROPERTIES")
)
)
)
(defun cF () (CELFEATURE))

Distinctions between AutoLISP functions ssget and C# PromptSelectionOption method.AutoLISP ssget function is apply a function with no options and does not require an object selection.pre-selected target object should respond to the selection set.
However, and C# PromptSelectionOption, ignoring the pre-selected objects, select the new object is required.using the features of C# Prompt Selection Option expressed AutoLISP ssget do the same in,

I have a data structure called LayerList in the format [LIST "LayerName" "Linetype" Thickness Color]I then use the following piece of code to go through the structure selecting polylines and converting all polylines on a given layer to the correct thickness
(foreach layr layerlist
(setq player (car layr))
(if (setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "*polyLINE") (8 . player ) )))
(command "pedit" "m" ss "" "w" 0.15 "")
(princ "
No polylines exist!")
)
)
However all i keep getting is Bad SSGET list value at the command line,

I found a program which rotates selected block(s) about thier insertion point. I modified it to rotate each of the block(s) about the y-axis. Works great. Now, I would like to change it so that it rotates a copy of each block about the y-axis and leaves the origial block in place. Its kind of like the mirror command exept it is rotating the new block(s) to the other side instead of flipping them. I want to keep all or the parameters of the block(s) the same as each original. I am using AutoCAD 2010. MOCORO is not recognized as a command. The new features workshop says to use the new command AMCOPYRM, which is not recognized either. Go figure.
(defun RotateDuplication (/ CN ENT theObjects SS)
(vl-load-com)
(setq SS (ssget (list (cons 0 "INSERT"))))
(repeat (setq CN (sslength SS))
(setq CN (1- CN)
ENT (ssname SS CN)

I'm dabbling in lisp to reduce some drafting time. I'm looking for a way to move a named block left 5 inches. The names block in this instance is "Bricks". What would be the easiest way of writing this in lisp form? I searched through the forums and I couldn't find what I was looking for. This is not after an insert command. This is a block that currently exists in the drawing template.

For a program i am working for i have to extract the base point of a dynamic block.
This can be done perfectly by this function:
(cdr (assoc 10 (entget (car (entsel)))))
But i want the entity selected based on a previous slected point. So for example when i selected pt1 (which is a point at the border of the dynamic block) i want to be able to extract the base point on the block whit this point.

I get an AutoCAD drawing from my conveyor manufacturer who have buried a block (tagname) in all of their conveyor blocks.
The only way to remove them is to manually use BEDIT and erase the tagname block.
Is there a way through Autolisp to search all blocks in a drawings and if the tagname block is part of the definition of the conveyor block, erase the tagname block or redefine the conveyor block without the tagname block.

When dynamic blocks are inserted they're assigned an anonymous block name. I'd like to be able to retrieve the name of the parent block after selecting the block on screen using AutoLisp.
Need a bit of code that handles this?

Create a routine that looks for a block based on a portion of that block name, using a specified path or search path.
For example, block to search for is BLOCKABC123, so if someone inputs ABC or 123 as a block name, it will locate that block within that folder and inserts it into the drawing at a user specified location.
Ideally, if there is a check in that if it finds more than one match, then perhaps it flags or prompts you to choose 1, 2, or 3 option which block to use. But I can live without this special function if it requires too much time to code.

I need to match few attribute values from one block to different block. I download a lisp file called; ca.lsp which can match the single attribute value. I modified it for more than one attribute value matching. It is ok but still wish to overcome two issues for batch prcess
1. picking up the blocks by selection
2. click the alternative block numbers of times to match the numbers of attribute values I needed.
How to modify this lisp I can run it by block name selections instead of picking selection which enable me to run batch process for numbers of drawing? That will be good...
Lisp & Demo file attached (Match attribute value, A, B & C to Attribute 1, 2 & 3).

I am learning autolips and i found a problem that i can´t solved.
(vl-load-com)(defun c:pmb ( / ss ent pt )(prompt "
selec block : ")(setq ss (ssget '((0 . "INSERT")))) (setq ent (ssname ss 0)), (setq pt (cdr (assoc 10 (entget ent)))) (command "point" pt))
wich this code you select one block and insert one point at insert point´s block.
which this other code yo select all block and insert all point.... but in one block
(vl-load-com) (defun c:pmb11 ( / sele cod bloque nbloque lista pt ) (prompt "
block: ") (setq sele (ssget ( List'(0 . "INSERT"))) Cod 0 )cod (1+ cod) (repeat (sslength sele) (setq bloque (ssname sele cod)) (setq pt (cdr (assoc 10 ( entget bloque)))) (command "punto" pt) );repeat )

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))

I have a dwg with 40 blocks that have a non-annotative property. I can go through 1 by 1 and change the property to annotative and redefine the block. Is it possible to automate this? I have done some google searches but have not found anything I am able to cut and paste or put together to get it to work.

I have a lot of drawings with two tables in them, and they are all over the place.
I'm able to change the columns widths using the following

(vla-setcolumnwidth PipeList 1 0.25)
(vla-setcolumnwidth PipeList 2 2.0)

(vla-setcolumnwidth PipeList 4 1.625)
(vla-setcolumnwidth PipeList 5 1.0)
(vla-setcolumnwidth PipeList 6 1.75)
I'm wondering if I could modify the assoc 10 value to a specific point of '(8.5 10.3675 0.0).

Now with the following function can only select leaders who have linked the xdata application TEST
(setq selez_all (ssget "X" '((0 . "MULTILEADER")(-3 ("TEST")))))
I can not, however, find a way to select all MULTILEADER who have a particular value of XData.
For example I would select all MULTILEADER with MATERIALE = "LEGNO" and TIPO = "A".

Newbie here trying to learn LISP. My first program is to flip all arcs and circles that have a Normal Z property of -1. But I'm having trouble finding a detailed list of commands and functions for the LISP language that explain creating circles to selecting entities filtered by properties. I must be searching for the wrong terminology.
