i've got a lisp-routine that calulates multiple area's and put the sum in text in the drawing on the place i select.
the sum has to be devided with 1000000 so that it is in m2.
the lisp-routie i use is:
(defun c:ca(/ pt ent txthgt)
;;; bepalen van de teksthoogte indien current style height = 0
(setq txthgt (cdr (assoc 40 (tblsearch "STYLE" (getvar "TEXTSTYLE")))))
[Code]......
I prepared a lisp code that needs high precision calculation:
(defun Time2Frac ( h m s hsec)(+ (/ h 24.0) (/ m 1440.0) (/ s 86400.0) (/ hsec 8640000.0)))
test:
(Time2Frac 23 59 59 99)
it returns 1.0 but the real result is 0.9999998842592
so, how can I change the precision of AutoCAD for some calculation?
I am looking for a lisp or vba to calculate solar panel angel / solar light power on any place in the world found 1 that shows sun time on 1 day of the year.
And can the autocad menu's SUNPROPERTIES / GEOGRAPHICLOCATION be controlled by lisp or vba ?
I have a lisp I use to calculate the area of an object. The section below is the area part of it:
(setq ojt (entsel "Select object to get area of... "))
(command "area" "o" ojt)
(setq oarea (getvar "area"))
I want to modify it to add the areas of multiple objects. Unfortunately it is not as simple as;
(setq ojt (ssget "Select object to get area of... "))
(command "area" "a" "o" ojt)
(setq oarea (getvar "area"))
So how would I go about doing it?
I would like to be able to draw squares by the area they should have. So that if I need a square of 50m2 autocad automatically draws a square of sqrt(50) x sqrt(50)
Because right now I have to draw 200 squares with 100 different areas and I have to calculate and manually draw each one of them.
I have a closed polyline that i can add the area to via a field in mtext using the options under area. I would like the area to always be rounded down to the nearest square meter. Is the a way to do this via the acfields.fdc file?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if there is a lisp possible to measure area's by pick point (as in bpoly). This little feature exists in Microstation so i was looking for something similar.
Is it also possible if this lisp can measure areas from an external reference (dwg, dxf, dgn, shp etc..)? I'm kind of new to AutoCAD in that sence.
Hatch objects: Note To access this property, use the IAcadHatch2 interface.How can I access the Object.Area of an AutoCAD hatch. AutoCAD 2006 has properties that can be assigned to Fields so why can't I find the object att- area in any lisp vars?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have many floorplans and each room has a polyline around it.
What I'd like to do, is be able to select multiple (or single) polylines and have a dynamic field with the area attached to each polyline placed in the middle (or on a consistent edge, say top left). Preferably with custom units as we use mm for the drawings, but would want the area in m2. Also custom text heights.
I can find a lot of 'put the area in the middle' scripts, but they're either not dynamic or they require a click to place each one - and with over 700 floorplans and over a hundred or more rooms on some, it's not really possible to do each one individually!
I'd like to set up a blockwith different attributes like Roomname, Floor, Area,...
Therefore I'd like to link a polyline of the drawing with the block and it shows me its area. I know how it works with fields, but not how to connect it when the field is within a block.
Is there a LISP for that?
LSP file i downlaoded from web.it is to use for Area with (m2) and room name. by click polyline.
i want to modify it to use without adding Room Name, just insert area to the drawing.
(defun drtxt (/ rn tx ls vl lt ht lb hb nr pt)
(setq tx (strcat "Area: "
(rtos (/ (getvar "area") 1000000) 2 2)
" m2"
)
rn (getstring "
Room Name: ")

I need to segregate closed polylines in my drawing by area range. Ideally, I would input the number of ranges I need.
Then somehow find the smallest and largest pline area to determine the range values (rounding up to a sensble number)
Then with the ranges determined the polylines would be segregated and moved to new layers.
I've been trying to hobble together pieces but with no joy.
I create a lot of fields that reference a polyline area and I'm constantly having to change the default formatting values. I would like it to default to an Architectural format, WITHOUT the appended "SQ. FT." (which often takes up too much space), with a precision of 0 and using a comma as the Thousands Separator.
Is there any way to set these default values?
How would I go about this. if a two blocks or polygons are overlapping area?
A good method or the algebraic formula for a function to tell me if a point is inside a polygon or block's area?
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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn 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?
take a look at the test.dwg it contains a block named 'box' (which is a rectangle) and some attributes. the annotation scale is 1:1 and i zoomed in to focus on one attribute.
change the annotation scale to 1:2 and you will see the attribute grows by 2 - that's ok! now load attmod.lsp and run attmod command and you will see the attribute grows again by 2
even the command only (entmod) the attributes without making any change.(to restore it use battman sync)Is there a workaround to this bug?
Looking for starting point to writing a routine that will open blocks in a drawing and change the colour.We receive drawings from clients with their blocks and would like to have them changed to our company colours.
So basically, i am looking for something that would within a drawing, change every block to a specific color without exploding and redefining. The colour changes will be the same throughout new drawings.
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 have been filtering through this descuession group for a whil this morning looking for what I need and have found somethings that are close but haven't managed to change them a little to do what I am wanting..
I have drawings with a block named UG101 and has been inserted on all sort of different layers.
What I would like to do is run a lisp routine that would select all blocks with the name UG101 and put them on the layer CableInfo.
I have many other blocks that i need to do the same to but with different names, so I was hoping, I could change the lisp routine around to do the rest of the blocks in the drawing..
I found this routine [URL]...... that changes the width of an attribute in a block. After use it, I need to use the ATTSYNC to update the other instances of the bloc in my project.
How to modify this lisp that I receive a prompt to choose if the width attribute will be change just in the selected block or in all instances of the block? In that way, I would not have to use the ATTSYNC command each time.
This is a duct lisp which is i found , which code line i have to change and how for radius value ? for example if my .

I am working with an application (written in Delphi) that interfaces to AutoCAD via AutoLisp and automation. The app is localized using translation strings that are stored in a database. We are working on translating the menus and dialogs on the AutoCAD side. The menus are no problem as it is easy to change the Label property of the menu items in code on the fly. However I haven't been able to find anything similar for the dialogs. Other then rewriting the DCL file on-the-fly is there any way to programmatically change the labels on the dialogs?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn our 2010 version users used the "OPT Color Control" in a toolbar. When we went to 2012 we switched our users to the Ribbon. I am not able to move this Control to a ribbon panel. I can place in a toolbar and it works okay. Best I could find is "ACObjectColorCombo", Object Color Gallery drop down. Unfortunately I find that this drop down doesn't handle a selection set the way the 2010 toolbar did. I find that one cannot reliably pick a selection and use this to change objects to color bylayer. I can pick the object prior to using the OPT Color Control and they work fine. I pick the same objects and use the Combo box and sometime they are found and change other times I pick one or two and they work.
Is there a way to move this toolbar control to the ribbon, it will not let me drag and drop to a panel in the CUI.
Is there another solution to change object(s) color in a drop down from a ribbon panel? I have tried searching but am not finding other commands or control with selection drop down in the CUI. (Our choice is not to use the Properties dialog. Which, by the way, does work every time on the objects.)
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?
I have the following Lisp command that changes a selected layer to a different layer. I have tried modifying it change known layer names to different known layer names. i.e run routine and it changes layer "2" to "3" then changes layer "dim" to "dims" ect then stops.
