AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Where Is Developer Documentation In Map 2014
May 18, 2013
I've just downloaded autocad map 2014, but I can't find the developer documentation. I can find some crap in the general help referencing lisp and vba, but no clearly organized developer documentation. In the previous versions there used to be an acad_ dev xxx.chm file, that was perfect for the job, but I can't find anything similar here. Do I really need to install an earlier version and copy the file from there?

One 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.

Switching from 2010 win xp to 2014 win 7. I need my specific user interface , and cant replicate it because of this issue :
I used to press context menu key on keybard to make edit menus pop up . In 2014 even though its same settings (show context menus and time sentive click) i ve lost this ability .
Either menus dont appear at all or they are replaced by the small command line context menu. I think this suggest new command line features are messing with right click options any variable i can turn off , or else to go back to normal.

Is there a lisp that will allow me to do a continuous dimension, but will alternate the dimension position from low, high, low and high? If there is no lisp already created, how to create one?
See Continuous dimension attachment for example.
I work at a glass and glazing company and this is how we dimension mullion width and DLO. See typical window dimensioning attachment for window elevation with dimensions.

I have a list ("temp.dwg" "temp2.dwg") and would like to add the string "insert text here" into each item in the list resulting in ("insert text heretemp.dwg" "insert textheretemp2.dwg"). how would i go about doing that using LISP?

Is 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)

Is it possible to execute a certain command based on multiple selections withinin a dcl? for example: two radio colums, one with selections A and B, and a second with selections 1 and 2. is it possible to program commands based on user selections from each column? ex: if A and 1- do a command. A 2- do a different command, etc...
I tried :
(action_tile "key1" "(setq A t")
(action_tile "key2" "(setq B t")
(action_tile "key3" "(setq 1 t)(done_dialog)")
(action_tile "key4" "(setq 2 t)(done_dialog)")
(if
(and (a) (1)
)
(command ...
but was unsuccessful. no matter which combination was selected, the command under all combinations would run.

I am trying to find a lisp that would get an attribute value (tag name = NBR_5) . I'm trying to run a simple routine that would let the user place the value from the titleblock attribute as text on a drawing. I see a ton of articles regarding getting attributes but I am not well versed in programming.

I'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:
node
of #<variant 8197 ...>
Nothing I can use in my code. So how do I find the point in a format that vlax-3d-point will like?

I use Spell Check regularly and I always check the entire drawing. I would like to add to the Spell macro so that when I pick Spell from the toolbar it goes past the Check Spelling window and begins checking the entire drawing.
I believe I need to insert Alt S into my macro to select Start from the window to begin the check. Is there a character or series of characters that will represent Alt in a macro?

I upgraded from Autocad 2004 to 2012 recently and my lisp file doesnt work anymore.
what it's supposed to do is when looking at the layout tab that you want you can switch to the model space location of the same zoom as the layout tab without messing with the layout zoom.
(defun c:msp ()
(setq cm (getvar "cmdecho"))
(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(command"view" "d" "tmp")
(setvar "tilemode" 0)
(command"pspace")
(princ "Click TWICE on desired VPORT: ")
(command "mspace" pause "view" "s" "tmp")(princ)
(setvar "tilemode" 1)
(command "view" "r" "tmp")
(setvar"cmdecho" cm)
(princ)
)

Is there a command that is the opposite of starting an application to open up a file? Like:
(startapp "PlaySound.exe" (findfile "CuckooClock.wav"))
Instead of starting an application, how to shut all of its instances down. Let’s say I have iTunes and/or Internet Explorer w/ a few tabs open and I can close them down without getting to the application to terminate it the usual way.
Naturally,
(endapp "iTunes.exe") doesn’t work :-))

I have a drawing that has 2D pipeline (only x and y, z value =0) and 3 topo contour lines ( with x, y and z vaules). I need to divide the the 2D pipeline into say 2000 points and then get the corresponding z values from the topo contour lines. I think it can be done by interpolating between the z values for the two apparent intersection points of the 2D line and the contour lines, the x and y values will be the same for the points that falls between these two aparent intersections. Is there any lisp out there that can do that.

The following gives me the first folder string, with no back-slashes, that the drawing exists in.
(setq FirstFolder
((lambda (/ tmpDir tmpPos)
(substr
(setq tmpDir (getvar "dwgprefix"))
(+ 2 (setq tmpPos (vl-string-search "\" tmpDir)))
(- (vl-string-search "\" tmpDir (1+ tmpPos)) (1+ tmpPos))))))
Is there a way to find the name of the second folder?
Is there a way to find the name of the third folder?
The string length of the characters for each of the first, second, third (and so on) folders are different, which means I can't count character using the "substr" function.

"Tree-04-12-QV"
"Tree-10-30-QS"
How would I go about sorting this list by AA5, QV, QS? I know how to use vl-sort and reverse, but I do not understand how I would go about this.

I have to go into approx 600 3D Models and rotate them all by 90.
I've just tried to search for a lisp that will do this to all of these files in one directory and can't find one. Something that will do this and save loads of time. I need to do this tonight so that these MEP files will all be ready for tomorrow morning.

I know that for layers ON/OFF in current open dwg file, I should use:
[I just want to On/Off for my "STAMP" layer]
(COMMAND "LAYER" "ON" "STAMP" "")
(COMMAND "LAYER" "OFF" "STAMP" "")
but I have more than 150 dwg file and I should open all of dwgs one by one and setting ON/OFF for STAMP layer for every drawing and it takes so much time!
I just want to select files and LISP program set the STAMP layer to ON or OFF value.
