AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Change Font Style Of 1 Text Item?
Sep 9, 2010
im my current coding project im attempting to change the font stlye of 1 text item
i tried used the simple method of
[code]
(command "STYLE" "simplex" "ARIAL" "" "" "" "" "")
[/code]
however, using this changes the text's font in the whole drawing
i searched the forums here and everything i found either didnt work or changed all the text.
is there a more elegant way of doing this with just a selected text item and not the text in the whole drawing?

I am trying to put together a LISP that changes the font of two text styles. One bing named "Standard", and the other "WD".
This is what I have so far...
(defun C:CHANGESTYLE (/ entities len count ent ent_data ent_name new_style_name)
(command "STYLE" "Standard" "Romantic" "" "" "" "" "")
(setq entities (ssget "X" '((0 . "TEXT")))
len(sslength entities) count 0);
[Code]....
I couldn't figure out how to select mtext and text all in one swoop, so i ran it twice
Now, when i run this code, i get the following error "lselsetp nil".

I 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)
)
)

Is there a way for me to change a layers plot style from one to another with LISP?
We use named plot styles, STB's not CTB's.
I want to be able to create an icon that will change all layers with the plotstyle "normal" to "black". Is this possible with lisp?

Is 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.

I cannot purge a textstyle out of my drawing. When I run purge nothing is available.
However if I select the style from the style dialog I am able to select delete and delete the style.
When I use the method on the style (vlax-invoke-method style 'Delete). AutoCAD states:
Automation Error. Object is referenced by other object(s)
The style is defenatly not in use but may have been used in the past.

how to change the font of a specific attribute in all my blocks in a drawing. I am trying to change the INST attribute font to Arial but I have thousands of them through out my project. My other attributes that I do not want to change are using the same Style as this block so I can not simply change the style.

I 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.

I 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?

I have a block "MANAGER" with Two Attributes "CETOP" and "CEBOT" I would like a lisp to replace what ever is in those attributes with defined text, for my purposes "Text1" and "Text2". I would like a simple routine that even I can understand so I can apply it to a couple of other lisp projects I have.

I want to change a lot of table cell text in one time, try to explain something.
In the front of my drawings i have a view tables. in the second column stays a code that represent a location.
e.g. LVC stays for Low voltage cubicle. Now it is my intention to substitute these code to the description of code in one time and only the second column. The several descriptions are written in an .txt file, like LVC;Low voltage cubicle and on the next row LVP;Low voltage panel, and so on.
I think it is only possible with Lisp? or there are other way?
In the past i did it one by one, because mostly there where 2 or 3 tables, now i have a big project with more than 20 tables.

Have issues with creating an AutoCAD deployment and "The path of the added item is too long" error message?
I understand that the paths are limited to 255 characters but I tried just a local path and I get the same error.
Under Additional Files in deployment options, I want to add 2 folders under <Installation Directory> and add 2 files under Support folder.
1st folder would be ARG folder for a custom profile xxx.arg file
2nd folder would be Template with a custom template xxx.dwt file
Under Support, I want to browse and add two files: custom accaddoc.lsp and enterprise acad.cuix file.
All of those files reside on a share drive but the paths are about 40 char so I'm way below the limit.
Every time I want to add a folder under <Installation Directory> I receive the error message:
The path of the added item is too long: "Create New Folder" Please limit this path to -28 characters (currently 17).
So I copied all thos files locally but the same error show up. Is this a bug? I can't customize my deployment if those files are not available.

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)

I am trying to create a lisp routine, that will check the dimension style "standard" to see if its annotative. If it is, I need it to turn annotative to off.

Is 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!

I want to create a table with all characters inside a font.I used "%%" to change a number to it's character.but "%%" limited to 999 and for numbers bigger than 999 it doesn't work.
also, CHR command limited to 255 and for numbers bigger than 255 it change to (number-255). so I used "%%" to create this table:[Please change default font in your AutoCAD to ARIAL]
(Defun c:charmap ()
(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(setq cnt 1.0)
(setq r_cnt 0.0)
(setq ts 32)
(setq x 0.0)
(setq y 0.0)
[code]...
I want to know:
1- what can I do for numbers more than 999?
2- How can I know the number of characters inside a font?
3-how can improve my LISP program to have complete characters inside the fonts?

I have some working code that sets the Text Style name to ROMANS inside my Mleader Style called ARROW. Here it is:
(setq dict (dictsearch (namedobjdict) "ACAD_MLEADERSTYLE") ; start setq q
dict1 (member (cons 3 "Arrow") dict) ; code 3 is Mleader Style Description
el1 (entget (cdr (assoc 350 dict1))) ; code 350 is dictionary entity handle
er (tblobjname "style" "Romans") ; new value for MLEADER Text Style
) ; end set
(entmod (subst (cons 342 er) (assoc 342 el1) el1)) ; code 342 is MmTextStyleId - write new vale to mTextStyleId
I want to modify this code so that it sets the Arrow Head Size to a specific value, say 0.125. Having a tough time figuring out the DXF codes and tblobjname to do this.

I am using acad 2010. I have a contour generator that uses 3d polylines to make contours. I get depressions or tops where I don't want them. I need a lisp routine that will allow me to adjust the z value only on any 3d polyline. I need to raise or lower the z value at any vertex and repeat if necessary. I don't need to prompt the user- I am the user.

In our Structural department, we use a layer called S-35-WALL-LB to denote a load-bearing wall, and what the guys typically do when they are on the sheet showing the floor above, is dbl-clk the VP to activate model space, open the Layer Manager and change the VP linetype to HIDDEN to show the afore-mentioned loadbearing walls as walls under.
way to accomplish this through a viewport...but instead of using the Layer Manager, use a lisp routine I can link to a toolbar button where all the user has to do is dbl-clk the VP, press the toolbar button, and either it will convert the default VP linetype (continuous) for S-35-WALL-LB automatically, or get the user to select an object on that layer and it changes the whole lot?
