AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Circles At Line End Points?

Feb 2, 2012

I need to place a circle, of a user-defined radius, as a marker at the endpoints of all lines in a drawing.  how to accomplish this using lisp?  It doesn't matter if they overlap; I can use OVERKILL to delete those objects.

I started the code with:

(defun c:cmark ()
(setq crad (getdist "
Specify radius: "))
)

But don't know how to cycle through the objects, determine the end points of lines only.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Read Attribute (diameter) To Draw Circle?

Oct 21, 2013

Can a AutoLISP command be written to read an attribute in a block and draw a circle with the attribute as the diameter using variables? The appilcation is taking the diameter of a tree trunk (the attribute), multipling by 12, and drawing the canopy circle on hundreds of those blocks. So the circles drawn will vary in size.

Not sure how this could be set up, i'm not familiar with LISP writing at all.

1) Read block, single, mulitple or definition?

2) Read Attribute

3) Varaible of attribute, (attribute is an inch measurement...it needs to be multipled by 12 to get feet for final use as circle diameter drawn)

4) Draw circle, variable, with diameter coming from attribute variable (attribute in inches that is multipled by 12)

5) Center point or circle to be block's base point

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Interacting With Excel - ExportAsFixedFormat

Aug 17, 2011

I wasn't able to find out any information on what format the parameters are required to look like when passed along with the Method ExportAsFixedFormat.

I'm currently using the following code to change the active printer followed by the printout command
 
(vlax-put-property XL "ActivePrinter" "DocuCom PDF Driver on Ne03:")(vlax-invoke-method XLS "Printout")

 where XL is my spreadsheet and XLS is the active worksheet.  This works but the printer controls filename and location.
 
(vlax-invoke-method XLS "ExportAsFixedFormat"

 I've found the ExportAsFixedFormat but can not find any documentation that shows how to format the parameters within LISP to send to Excel.

The object browser for VBA in Excel shows the following:
 
Sub ExportAsFixedFormat(Type As XlFixedFormatType, [Filename], [Quality], [IncludeDocProperties], [IgnorePrintAreas], [From], [To], [OpenAfterPublish], [FixedFormatExtClassPtr]) Member of Excel.Chart
 
I recording a macro and got the following that shows some additional information.
 
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _"C: est.pdf" _, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas _:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True
 
Is there any documention showing what this looks like when using the vlax-invoke-method?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Excel Sheet Column

Aug 13, 2013

I'm trying to get an excel sheet to open and count cells based on the text inside a selected column then compare it to cad. The column says "red" or "green" and I want to compare it to a count of red and green hatches in cad.

I managed to get them to be counted in cad but I'm not sure how to get the excel part to work.

Note: I posted an earlier post thinking to count the actually color in the excel cells rather than the words but that ended up being quite complicated.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Creating Drawings From Excel

Dec 16, 2011

This probably isn't the correct discussion group but not sure where else to post this. 

My sales department wants to be able to create drawings based on entries in selected in their Excel qouting tool.  Basically, they want to configure a product in the field, and be able to show the customer the drawing with TrueView. (They don't have AutoCAD installed).

I would think the best I can do, is manipulate a .dxf file based on their selections but that may get very complicated.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Z Value For Points?

Jan 5, 2012

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.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Extracting Data From Excel File?

Jun 12, 2013

We have a custom LISP program (Written, upadated in 2003) that takes a keyed in item number, opens and searches a .txt file with four coulmns, for the keyed in item number (column 1) and returns a part number (column 2), description (column 3) and any information in column 4.

Here is the Part of the cod in question:

(setq recx (open "H:/ACAD2012/alcocustm/LISP/hardware.txt" "r"))
(setq d "?")
(setq rec (read-line recx))

[Code]....

A quetsion was asked if the data in the .txt file could be put in an Excel file. I tried looking at other post, but I can't seem to find a clear cut way to open and extract the data. Or this old dog overlooked a boand. Is there a easy way to do this, similar to the above?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Any Way To Extract All Dimension Text At End Into Excel

Aug 16, 2012

I'm dimensioning an old drawing with the real (measured) dimensions and with the drawing dimensions in brackets (using ' 1500 (<>)' to give '1500 (1505)' for example.

What I'd like is to also be able to put on the difference between the length I type in and the length in brackets - as this would let me see any really glaring errors that can't be attributed to user-error on the laser measure.So I could type in '1500  (<>) (X)' where X is the formula, and get ' 1500 (1505) (5)' back?

How to be able to run a script that could highlight any dimensions where the number is brackets and the typed number have a a difference of, say, 50.Or failing that, any way to extract all the dimension text at the end into excel so I can see the differences myself?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Surface Angle With 4 Points

Nov 6, 2013

I need very very often to know the angle between two surfaces to write cnc programms...At the moment i draw allways two lines normal to the line between the two surfaces an use then the angle measuring tool.Works good, faster then bks and dimensioning, but need also time and always need to delete the lines after...

Is it possible to get a lisp which ask für 1 point on the first surface, 1 point on the other surface and two points on the line between the 2 surfaces? So the lisp know 3 points of each surface and can give out the angle between... Should be allways between 0-180°

So it needs only 4 klicks to get a angle! That would be so great! Is there a lisp programmer who can make this possible?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Dimension Between Two Points In A Selection Set

Nov 1, 2011

Looking to make a selection set of points that are on a specific layer, and then create a dimension between, in this case, two points. I feel like it should be very simple, but I can't get it to work for the life of me. Here is the test code I've been playing around with:

(defun c:test (/ sel1 TC)
(setq sel1 (ssget "X" '((8 . "VPOINTS"))))
(setq TC (polar (entget (assoc 10 (ssname sel1 0))) (dtr 180.0) 9))
(command "DIMLINEAR" (entget (assoc 10 (ssname sel1 0))) (entget (assoc 10 (ssname sel1 1))) "V" (polar TC (dtr 180.0) 9) "")

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Finding 2 Points Along A Pline

Jul 7, 2013

I have plines of circuits that sometimes have T's (line goes along, then T's out then back to T point and then continues).

Here is example line -

(setq List_Pline (list (list 0 0) (list 1 1) (list 0.5 1.5) (list 1 1) (list 2 2) (list 3 3) (list 3.5 2.5) (list 3 3) (list 4 4)))

nth 0 = (0 0)
nth 1 = (1 1)     - T point
nth 2 = (0.5 1.5)
nth 3 = (1 1)     - T return point
nth 4 = (2 2)
nth 5 = (3 3)     - T point
nth 6 = (3.5 2.5)
nth 7 = (3 3)     - T return point
nth 8 = (4 4)

I need to be able to pick 2 points along the line and find the shortest route.

Examples - 

1st point at 1,1 and 2nd point at 3,3 - new line is nth's 3,4,5

1st point at 0,0 and 2nd point at 1,1 - new line is nth's 0,1

1st point at 2,2 and 2nd point at 3,3 - new line is nth's 4,5

1st point at 3,3 and 2nd point at 4,4 - new line is nth's 7,8

1st point at 0,0 and 2nd point at 3,3 - new line is nth's 0,1,2,3,4,5

1st point is 1,1 and 2nd point is 1,1 - new line is nth's 1,2,3

I've tried using vlax-curve-getParamAtPoint, but it returns 1st T point.

Synopsis of program -

Select Pline

Pick 1st point

check if on line

Pick 2nd point

check if on line

check if 2nd point is before 1st point, if so swap locations

find last nth of 1st point

find 1st nth of 2nd point

return list
